Runaway Deb, Boy Friend Aided By Pans Lawyer PARIS (UPI) Runaway New York debutante Gamble Benedict and her married boyfriend found help and protection today in a Romanian lawyer's apartment in the swankiest neighborhood in Paris. Attqrney J. Cosacesfu confirmed Tuesday night his fellow Romani an refugee, Andrei Porumbeanu, 35, and the 18-year-old Remington typewriter heiress were "guests of myself and my wife" in the Cosacesfu apartment in the fash ionable Passy quarter. The lawyer said he would stand between the runaways and "any body. . .they don't want to see." But Cosafescu allowed a London Daily Mirror writer to talk with Porumbeanu, described in New In The- Day's Jews By FRANK JENKINS Senator Styles Bridges of New Hampshire, a GOP stalwart and a Nixon supporter, says the Repub lican national convention could be "pepped up" with a WIDE OPEN fight for the vice presidential nom ination. He lists eight possible par ticipants in his proposed free-for-all, no-holds-barred Donnybrook. They are: New York Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller, Interior Secretary Fred Soaton, Treasury Secretary Robert B. Anderson, Attorney Gen eral William P. Rogers, Labor Secretary James P. Mitchell, Sen ator Everett Dirkson of Illinois, Representative Charles Halleck of Indiana, Oregon Governor Hatfield and United Nations Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. He might have something there. In a good, stiff fight, one can often judge by the way they han dle themselves in the ruckus the caliber of those doing the fighting. His suggestion is interesting for another reason. The men he names are able men, men of STATURE There was a time in our history when JUST ABOUT ANYBODY was good enough to be nominated for vice-president if he looked like a vote-catcher. Days or even weeks might be spent in picking the party candidate for President, but as like as not the candidate for vice-president would be chosen by the weary delegates in a mat ter of minutes or, at most, hours. The question then was not HOW GOOD IS HE? It was IS HE HARMLESS? All that is changing. The vice presidency is coming now by the necessities and the responsibilities of our nation's place in the world ana tne mor tality of man to be a sort of apprenticeship for the Presidency. In these days, the big thing to think about in choosing a candi date for vice president is HOW GOOD A PRESIDENT WOULD HE MAKE? While we're on this subject of political figures Oregon's Senator Morse shows up in the senate with his arm in a tling. Wot hoppen? HE FELL OUT OF THE HAY MOW at the farm near Washington where he lives. No bones wen broken, but he got a bad bom bruise and some torn ligaments A word of advice: Senator, you'd better stay awa; from barns and horses. York as a chauffeur and handy man, and Miss Benedict, who dis appeared from her grandmother's mansion off 5th Avenue after at tending a debutante ball Dec. 27, Gamble's grandmother,- Mrs, Henry Harper Benedict, was re ported ill with pneumonia in New York ,and to have sent a lawyer, Robert Hoffman, to Paris to per suade Gamble not to go through with plans to marry Porumeanu once he gets a divorce. "It's my birthday Friday,'1 Gamble was quoted by the Lon don Daily, Mirror. "My grand mother is wonderfully kind and generous. She would give me cars, furs, anything I asked for, But she can't understand that the only birthday present I want is Andrei. ' ' i ' "I couldn't care less about my grandmother s money. Gamble said she called Andrei "drachshor" Romanian for "imp," and he confided he re ferred to his young lady love .as "My gypsy, my Bambi, ( because they suit, her, they are . better names than Gamble." I will marry him," Miss Bene dict vowed. "Not in time for my birthday. But I will have him. We are arranging a divorce from his wife. Then we marry right away. "If necessary I will be a typist to help us live. I can type but if I do I can tell you it won't be on a Remington." The heiress to the Remington typewriter fortune said she re sented that Andrei had been called a chauffeur. "He has been slandered and called a common adventurer," she said, adding he had fought valiantly with the U.S. Air Force in the Korean campaign and later worked as a researcher in an American company. Russian Jet Ship Was Not Newest TAIPEI, Formosa (AP) A Red Chinese jet fighter that crash landed in northeast Formosa was a M1G15, not the newer and faster MIG17, Chinese Nationalist ' offi cials said today. r There had been public specula tion here that the jet, slightly damaged in landing, was a M1G17 and the first of that Soviet design to fall into Western hands. Major West Trade Powers Meet On U.S. Proposal PARIS (AP) The major trading powers of the Western world met today to consider a U.S. proposal lor a new economic organization with global responsibilities. The proposal was formally sub mitted to the 13-nation meeting by U.S. Undersecretary of State C. Douglas Dillon, who wants- to set up a group of "wise men" to work out the plan. The two fold purpose of the American proposal is to heal the rift between the two West Euro pean trade blocs and coordinate Western aid to underdeveloped countries. Dillon is understood to believe it will take 15 months to get a new "North Atlantic economic or janization" going. He wants a smaller interim group to begin co ordinating aid and goading the ither powers into patching up trade differences. While most of the 13 participate ng powers are agreed on these joals in principle, the underlying 12 Firms To Receive UF Awards Outstanding citizenship awards, highest given by the Klamath Coun ty United Fund, will be presented to representatives of 12 firms dur ing the annual UF banquet and awards meeting today beginning at 6:45 p.m. in the Willard Hotel, For the third straight year, the awards will go to employes of East Side Electric, J.

French Aide Quits Post PARIS (AP) Finance Minister Antoine Pinay announced his with drawal from the government to day after seeing President de Gaulle. The architect of France's eco nomic recovery under De Gaulle found himself at opposite poles from some members of the Cabi net on economic matters. A con servative,, he considered some of his colleagues socialistic. Pinay told reporters as he left the Elysee Palace: "In the circumstances, I am go ing to withdraw from the govern ment. I remain at the govern ment's disposition. Gen. de Gaulle understands the situation very well. On my side I will do what I can to carry on the work be gun." differences could spell trouble when it comes to dollars and cents bargaining. , The "wise men" planners pro posed by Dillon would come from the United States, Britain, France and possibly one smaller power. These financial experts would con sult the 18 governments of the Organization for European Eco nomic Cooperation (OEEC), plus the United States and Canada, during the 15-month organization period. After consultations, the experts would work out a new economic organization acceptable to all 20 powers. This would replace the OEEC which now is out of favor with many European powers since it was involved in negotiations .vhich left unhealed the - present trade split in Europe. The United States and Canada are not full members of the OEEC although they participate in its de bates. They would be full mem bers ot the Dew organization. OK For Reds To Use Sea In Testing New Missiles WASHINGTON (AP) - Presi dent Eisenhower practically ruled out today any protest against So viet plans to fire test rockets into the U. S. -dominated Central Pa cific sometime after Jan. 15. It would seem very unusual, he told a news conference, for the U. S. government to make any protest against the kind of thing it has done itself and may do again. aucn testing appears to con form with international law, he said. Russia's announced plans to test powerful new rockets in that area have brought criticism from sev eral individuals former Presi dent Harry S. Truman and Sen. Alike Mansfield ID-Mont); for ex ample. . Eisenhower ' said the United States always has claimed it is proper to use the' high seas for valid scientific experiment, and has been doing so after notifying all concerned and warning away anyone who could be injured. This, was Eisenhower's' first news conference since Dec. 2.' On hand for it were 253 reporters, Among other matters coming up in the conference were: POLITICS - The decision by Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller ol New York to bow out of the Re publican presidential race does create a certain atmosphere of no competition for the GOP nom ination, Eisenhower remarked with a , smile.' Rockefeller's deci sion has given Vice President Richard M.. Nixon what appears to be a stranglehold on the nomi nation. " Eisenhower recalled, however, that he had no competition for the nomination when he decided to seek a second term in 1956. With a chuckle, he added that did not hurt that election particular ly. . . ' ' The President was referring io State Asked By Farm Group To Pay For Hunter Damage SALEM W The Oregon Farm Bureau Federation asked Tuesday that the state provide insurance to repay farmers for damage caused by hunters. R. E. Kerr, representing the bu reau, also told the governor's Na tural Resources Committee the state should provide increased pa trols to prevent damage by hunt ers. He said if farmers knew they would be reimbursed for damages by hunters, they would not object so much to hunters trespassing on their lands. The main purpose of the hear ing was to discuss the problem of permitting hunters to cross private lands to reach public lands. Kerr joined other spokesmen for farm and sportsmen's groups in asking that a public relations pro gram be set up to ease the con flict between farmers and hunters. J. H. Van Winkle, chairman ofi the state Game Commission said "we must try to improve the public's outdoor manners so there will be less cause for landowners to deny access to their lands." Van Winkle, as well as spokes men for the Izaak Walton League and Oregon Wildlife Federation, agreed there should be better ac cess to federal lands for recrea tional purposes. Timber Meeting A meeting has been called for January 20 here at which it is hoped that all regional representatives of the various timber agencies will be able to get together and outline their marketing plans for the coming year. A no-host affair, the meeting will Include representatives from the four national forests. Rogue, Fremont, Umpqua and Deschutes, the Bureau of Land Management, The Bureau of Indian Affairs and the U.S. National Bank as trustee of certain Indian lands.

All reservations should be made - prior to Monday, Jan uary 18. his overwhelming victory c Democrat Adlai Stevenson. As he has in the past, the Pres ident said he believes there is a number of highly qualified Re publicans who would make good presidents. DEFEN'SE With a show of anger, Eisenhower vigorously re jected what he termed a report er's implication that the nation's defense program is being conduct ed on a partisan basis. Sarah Mo C l e n d o n, representing Texas newspapers, told Eisenhower that Republicans who met with him at the White House Thursday had suggested that anyone who raises a question of the adequacy of the defense effort is displaying par tisanship. Bristling, Eisenhower asked Mrs. McClendon whether she was making a speech or ask ing a question. She replied she was putting a question, and repeated in sub stance what she had said a mo ment earlier. Eisenhower shot back that he resented any implication the de fense program was being run on partisan basis. In the first place, he said, he does not have to be partisan. Secondly, he said, he has devoted his entire life to defense without partisanship. The President said further he believes the program is being handled well, and that he be lieves he knows more about de fense than anyone else in this country. Eisenhower also spoke out in defense of his decision to curtail drastically the B70 bomber con struction program. In reply to a question, the President said there actually is enough money in the defense budget to continue that program. But such bombers, he com mented, take a long time to pro duce and in the meantime there are other vital defense needs which must be met. " Kent Magrudcr, of the Oregon Cattlemen's Assn., said he agreed with Kerr. He added that the pub lic has a legitimate right to hunt on public lands, and that the prob lem between the farmers and sportsmen could be smoothed over, A statement that much public land is closed to hunters and fish ermen because they are denied access to it by private landown ers was made by Tom Thayer, Izaak Walton League. .

Police Tipped Off By Bird Who Speaks Spanish LOS ANGELES (AP) "Buenos dias, scnor," the parrot said. That did it. Robert Harold Gcb- hart, charged with smuggling 65 parrots from Mexico, shrugged and changed his plea to "no con test" from innocent. After all, he had reasoned, how would anyone know the birds found in his plane came from south of the border? Investigators couldn't get a word of English out of the birds only Spanish. HST Request Put Aside By President WASHINGTON (AP) - Presi dent Eisenhower brushed aside today a suggestion by former President Harry S. Truman that he. should take Democratic ad visers to the Big Four summit meeting in Paris next May. He told a news conference he thought it had been a practice in the past lo take representatives of (he opposilion parly to a big international meeting when treaty was lo be signed. The way he said this gave many of his hearers the impression that he meant (hey were customarily taken along only when a treaty was envisioned. . As prospects for (he Paris meet ing now stand, it as not expected to produce a treaty. Its task rather is expected to be to pro duce top-level guidance for fur ther specific negotiations on such matters as disarmament. Those negotiations could conceivably lead to treaties if they resulted in East-West agreement on major issues. Eisenhower said he is not the least bit disturbed about the ef fect of (lie Soviet missile power on summit negotiations. He said he believes in the mili tary power of the United States He made clear he is confident (hat this power is sufficient to support this country's foreign pol icy and prevent it from being pushed around by any other na tion. The President expressed these views after being told that some critics claim he will be at a dis advantage in negotiating with So viet Premier Nikita Khrushchev because the United states is "second best in the missile field Eisenhower said he wauled to assure his questioner that he is not frightened. . Rocket Slate Stepped Up WASHINGTON (UPI) The government today ordered an ear ly start on ultra-powerful upper stages for the Saturn rocket de signed for missions lo the moon and planets. The upper stages will be pow ered by liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, the most efficient rocket fuel yet developed. The Saturn, being built by the Army Ballistic Missile Agency at Huntsvillc, Ala,, is an eight-engine booster capable of generating 1,500,000 pounds of thrust. With two upper stages, it will lower 150 feet and will be able lo carry giant payloads to the moon or to Mars and Venus. Even more efficient later models are in the works. Ground tests for the booster are scheduled for early this spring at Huntsville. The first flight test, with dummy upper stages, is scheduled for 1961-62. The first full-fledged space mission prob ably will be undertaken in 1964-65. The first Saturn version is ex pected to be able to put 15 tons in a 300-migh-high orbit. This is roughly 10 times as heavy a pay- load as Sputnik III, Russia's big gest satellite.

A 20th defendant was absent be cause bad weather grounded a plane bringing him here. U.S. Dist. Judge Irving R. Kauf man said the backgrounds of the defendants "read like a tale ol horrors" and that he was sen tencing . them "for society's protection." The men were charged with conspiring to obstruct justice by lying about the purpose of the up state crime conclave in 1957. Fourteen of the men were sen tence'd lo the maximum, of five years.

However, the court Tuesday re versed the conviction and dis missed charges against Benjamin Rodriqucz because of lack of evi dence that he was aware of his participation in the conspiracy. make the legislation apply to pri mary elections. In its present form it applies only to candidates for federal offices running in gen eral and special elections. Hcnnings said he felt primary campaigns should be included. Sen. Kenneth B. Keating (R-NY) has offered an amendment to do this. Omission of primaries and nom inating conventions was described by Keating as "a fatal flaw" in the bill. He said that in a third of the states success in the primaries is tantamount to election. It would be unjust and unfair, he said, to exempt these primaries from fed cral regulations that govern elec tions in other states. But Southern senators and others have made plain they will resist any effort to apply the re strictions to primaries. They say this would be an unwarranted ex tension of federal powers.
