Publican leaders last night named a prominent Jjlah educator to re Place a self-confessed phony war hero on the 1st District congres sional ballot. Then they withheld announce ment or their choice lor & minutes while top party officials pleaded iih hun to accept the nomina tion. Their action followed unanimous acceptance of the withdrawal of Rep. Douglas R. biringlellow (R Utah) liom the race. Selected to run was 62-year-old Dr. Henry Aldous Dixon, president of Utah State Agricultural Collee in Logan, and considered to be the only strong OOP possibility in the populous, northern Utah areas cl the district. The first Includes all of Utah except Salt Lske City and lis surrounding metropolitan area. Stringfellow appeared at the com mittee meeting last night moment-, after the group voted to accept the withdrawal he had proffered only a few hours before. He re ceived a standing ovation. Then, in a voice sometimes shaken by sup piessed sobs, he said. "You could have made no other Japan Given U.S. Ships CHARLESTON, S. C. Ifl Two American destroyers" which once helped to destroy Japan's sea power were to join her budding new Navy Tuesday. Officials of the two govern ments, once bitter enemies be come allies in the strange post war years, assembled at the big U.S. Navy base here for cere monies turning the ships over to Japan on a loan basis. They -will become the biggest combat vessels of Japan's still tiny new Navy. The USS Ellyson and Macomb, with fresh paint blotting out the symbols of battle victories in en gagements with Japan almost ft decade ago. were sleek and ready for delivery to Japanese crews. The Ellyson will bear the new name of Asakaze (Morning Breeze) and the Macomb will be called the Hatakaze (Flag-Flutter ing Breeze). The loan of the two ships to Japan is In accord with the 1851 security treaty between the two nations, which expressed expecta tion that Japan would "increas ingly assume responsibility lor Its own defense."

God bless vou for your courage and forthright action. ,. . In your presence I d like to apolo gize." He said he had not confessed the bogus nature of his story of war lime heroism because "I just did not have the courage, I never found Uie way." But the evening's climax came when narried parly oiiicials, aller counting a ballot that had given the nomination to -Dixon by an unofficial 73 to 19, learned that Dixon had left Salt Lake CUv some time before with a parting an nouncement that be would not ac cept. Frantic telephoning finally lo cated the educator in the home of a son In Ogden. Then, while some 92 members of the 128-man GOP Slate Central Committee milled about in a room on the floor below, top stale officials took turns plead ing with Dixon, his wile Lucille, and then Dixon again, to change his mind. Ironically, the call was taken hi tnc campaign headquarters of the Democratic party the only tele phone Immediately avxilable In the hotel where the meeting took place. Taking turns at the telephone were Sen. Arthur V. Watkins (R Utah), chairman of the recent com- mittee to Investigate censure charges against Sen. McCarthy (R -Wis); Utah Gov. J. Bracken Lee; and Jack V. McLea, of Roosevelt, a member of the USAC Board of Trustees. At length, Dixon accepted. His nomination was announced and the committee voted to make It unan imous. Stringfellow, a first-term repre sentative in the 83rd Congress, precipitated the pre-election crisis Saturday night when he dramati cally announced via radio and tele vision that he had been living a lie as a war hero for years. The disabled veteran, 32, mar ried and the father of two, con fessed that his story of a behind-the-lines mission Into World War II Germany a story that had helped win him national prominence was a hoax. In Dixon, Republican leaders felt they had the strongest possible re placement for Stringiellow to op pose the Democratic candidate, former Congressman Walter K. Granger of Cedar City. A mild-mannered, amiable man. Dixon took over as head of USAC in Logan last year, after almost 20 years In Ogden as president of Weber College. Party leaders quoted Dixon as citing his desire to remain at Utah State and family objections as be hind his reluctance to make the race. The only other name placed in nomination against Dixon was that of George Staples, a Richfield edu cator, insurance man and radio newscaster. A third" nomination that of State Sen. B. H. String' ham, of Vernal was withdrawn in support of Dixon. ; ' V..' i 1 . . r , .; - ', NEW STUDENT BODY OFFICERS at Fremont School recently elected are, seated, from left: Shoclcy Hungate, president, and Sandra Stone, secretary.
