Eisenhower Defends Benson’s Policies; Will Not Campaign in State Election WASHINGTON UP—President Eisenhower said today Agriculture Secretary Ezra T.

PANMUNJOM, Korea —A homesick Virginia man trainee who rejected Communism after at first resisting to go home says it “more than likely” that some of his 22 pro-Red GI colonies may follow him so Pug-nosed Pfc. Edward Ed Dickenson, 23, Cracken, Va., in the Cumberland Mountains, ate a pork chop tonight, his first American meal nearly three years, after step through freedom gate at 4 p.m. He is one of 23 American oners who, in the Operation Hilton Named in Wayne Court Row LOS ANGELES (UP) — Hotel their Nickey Hilton was drawn into the John Wayne divorce battle today to answer charges that Hilton was a guest at the Wayne home for a week while the actor was away on location. Jerome Rosenthal, attorney for Mrs. Wayne, in her separate maintenance suit, said he has submitted Hilton to testify on the week-long stay. Rosenthal said it was nothing more than a visit to "recuperate" from injuries the boy suffered in an auto accident. Rosenthal added that Between Furstenberg, Hilton's flanee at the time, would substantiate innocence of the visit. Wayne, fighting for a divorce on grounds of mental cruelty, made the charge in his bill of particulars when the trial opened in answer to accusations he spent a night with actress Gall Russell. The lanky film star inferred his estranged Mexican wife did not have to "drag" Miss Russell's name into the trial and added "there was absolutely nothing between us." The actor made the statement after Mrs. Esperanza Baur Wayne testified he had claimed it was "perfectly all right" for him to spend the night at the home of Miss Russell after a studio party. During a recess in which Wayne busily signed autographs for swarms of girl admirers, he asked, "Why did she have to drag Gall's name into this? There was absolutely nothing between us." Mrs. Wayne, who seeks $9000 a month separate maintenance, testified that she nearly shot Wayne when he came home from the party and broke down a door to get in. "I thought it was a burglar until my mother shouted, 'don't shoot, it's your husband.' She said Wayne was "very intoxicated." The actor said he broke the door Reporting on his recent brief tour of the farm belt, Mr. Eisenhower said he thought that farmers generally are very happy. He added that operating farmers constituted a majority of the advisory commission now working with Benson. He said farmers and cattlemen for years had been wary of the academic process as an answer to their problems. Defends Benson When asked to comment on a recent suggestion that Benson resign, the President said quite determinedly and with some shows of feeling that it was his responsibility to say who should be his principal associate in the executive branch of government. Furthermore, he said he had seen no one more dedicated to America than Benson; no one striving harder to bring all of the elements of our agricultural economy, including the producers and the consumers, into some form of equitable balance. On other domestic issues, Mr. Eisenhower said emphatically that he will not campaign in any congressional or state election. Partisan Elections Mr. Eisenhower said that he will not use the presidency in partisan elections in any way. He said he considers himself the President of all the people. He expressed confidence that if his Republican administration succeeds in developing a program to benefit all, the party will command the vote of an overwhelming clear majority of the people. He said that as an individual he would resent the President coming in to his congressional district or state and campaigning for a candidate. However, he said that he believes in a two party system and thinks that areas such as the South suffer because of the dominance of one political party. Mr. Eisenhower pounded the table in front of him and said that he is not, repeat not, going to participate in congressional campaigns. Campaign Pledge On other political matters, Mr. Eisenhower declined to comment on the recent election of a Democrat in a traditionally Republican congressional district in Wisconsin. He said that none of his political munism after at first resting to go home says life "more than likely" that so of his 22 pro-Red GI crades may follow him so. Pug-nosed Pfc. Edward Ed Dickenson, 23, Cracken Neck, Va., in the Cumberland Mountains, ate a pork chop drizzled tonight, his first American meal nearly three years, after step through freedom gate at 4 pm.

"She sent me a Dear letter;" Dickenson said, you know what that means." Dickinson's return gave not only that some—or all—fellow "won't go homes" but change their minds, but that stalled questionings of anti-riate prisoners may be resumed. May Resume Friday The Communist members of Neutral Nation Repatriation mission ended a walkout by turning to the session at Dickenson was freed. Meanwhile, the Indian mand appealed to 7800 anti-munist North Korean prison meet with Communist "peers" and announced it hope begin the delayed expulsion Friday.

"I thought it was a burglar until my mother shouted, 'don't shoot, it's your husband.' She said Wayne was "very intoxicated." The actor said he broke the door because he was locked out. Desertion Charged One testified briefly at the time of the session because his wife arrived late in court. He accused her of leaving him just before Christmas in 1950 and going to Mexico City. "Mrs. Wayne made it a practice, the last three years of our marriage, to find every possible excuse to stay away from me," he said. "I pleaded with her to stay but she told me, I'm leaving you."" The Mexican actress cited a list of charges that the actor often became drunk, lost his temper and beat her. Fire Destroys Home In La Jolla Colony PLACENTIA — Fire flared briefly in the midst of a congested Mexican colony at La Jolla, south of Placentia yesterday and destroyed one home, and seriously damaging two others for a loss estimated at $2000 by the State Forestry Division. It was controlled however, before it could spread and wipe out the colony. Cause of the blaze has not been determined. It occurred in a newly packed block of homes just west of La Jolla school. Besides the houses, the fire attacked a fence a woodpile, several outbuildings and two trees. Three fire trucks from the Yorba Linda fire station and one truck from the Olive department controlled the blaze in little more than a half hour after it was discovered. Campaign Pledge On other political matters, Mr. Eisenhower declined to comment on the recent election of a Democrat in a traditionally Republican congressional district in Wisconsin. He said that none of his political advisers had given him a detailed analysis of the result. On farm policies, the President was asked about his campaign statement that he favored full or 100 per cent of parity for basic farm products rather than the current program of 90 per cent. He quickly said that he had never promised price supports based on 100 per cent of parity, but still stood behind seeing that the farmers got their full share of the American economy. He explained that by this he thought farm prices should be in relation to the benefits of other segments of the economy and that the farmers should share equally with management and labor. But he said that he, in no way, meant to support the idea of price supports hooked to 100 per cent of parity.

BLOWUP THREATENS IN TEAM WESTMINSTER—While there is presently a lull in the skirmishing that followed dismissal of Principal James Tringham from the Westminster schools and his subsequent refusal to give up his teaching credentials, there is prospect of furious action if the state board of education takes Tringham's credentials away at a hearing set for Dec. 14. Attorney Joseph Scott of Los Angeles, who is counsel for Tringham, has issued the fiery promise to take the case clear to the California Supreme Court if necessary to clear Tringham of charges of lewd and lascivious conduct. Said Scott: "The charges against this man are of felonious gravity and worthy of an investigation by the grand jury if there were any truth in them, which there is not." The claim that Tringham guilty of lewd acts with teacher, a woman teacher male student, were not may time the Westminster sch discharged him, on rejection of Supt. Richard H. April. These charges were brownd after Tringham refused to credentials to William D. prescriptive of the state education, a few days after him's dismissal. Dress routine hearing just for school board fired Tringht told the press that Tringham dentsils were found to be and he had been "cleared." But when Tringham laed Dresser's request for trials, he was told that th Orange County Plain Dealer ☆☆☆ BULLETIN OCTOBER 21, 1953 VOL.

Hundreds of U.S. built Patton tanks covered with protective tarpaulins lined the side streets of this partitioned city on the Italian-Yugoslav border and nearby villages. The tanks armed with 90-millimeter guns which were supplied to Italy by the United States roar-ed to within sight of the barbed wire boundary. On the Yugoslav side, Marshal Tito was reported to have brought up the same type American tanks last week. Plans for Flood by Firm to control the floods that Creek overflows were filmed Supervisors by the Santa Ana and Woolley. The Board and Flood Engineer P. H. Budd. The Supervisors expect to take action next Tuesday to decide the route through Anaheim for a covered box storm drain which forms the key unit of the plan inside the city. Mayor Charles Pearson and City Manager Keith Murdock are expected to appear before the Supervisors to discuss the matter at 3:00 p.m. Tuesday. They were present yesterday with assemblyman LeRoy Lyons Jr. and set with the engineers and filed their preliminary plan. They urged the supervisors to select a route through the city so that Anaheim can proceed with its own plans for local drainage. The plan presented proposes to route the covered box drain along a Palma avenue through the northern section of the city. It would connect with the over all plans for control of the Carbon Creek area, which ultimately would provide for diversion of flood waters from the channel northeast of Anaheim to the Santa Ana river. A series of retarding basins and channels would collect the water and turn it aside from its present course toward Anaheim. The preliminary plan, engineers said, would meanwhile provide quite a bit of flood protection for Anaheim. The time table for eventual diversion of flood waters to the river depends upon several factors, it is said, among them being the construction of a dam in Carbon Canron. Three Injured in County Accidents ORANGE—Two persons received major injuries and a third was hurt in two Orange County traffic accidents late yesterday, the California Highway Patrol reported. Mrs. Adah H. Handley, 56, of Santa Ana, was seriously injured in a three-car crash at Newport Blvd. and Paularino Road, north of Costa Mesa at 9:15 p.m. She was taken to St. Joseph hospital in Orange. Leonard Handley, 27, of Santa Ana, driver of the car in which she was riding, received minor injuries and was not hospitalized. The other drivers, LeRoy J. Berry, 18, of Costa Mesa and Denise Moreland Culbert, 40, of Laguna Beach, escaped injury. Patsy Sue Vanatta, 16, of 18161 Citrus Ave., Yorba Linda was taken to Fullerton Cottage hospital with major injuries after her car went out of control and struck an embankment on Imperial Highway at Valencia St., between Yorba Linda and Brea. She said that an unidentified motorist had made a sudden left turn in front of her and she swerved so sharply to avoid collision that she lost control of her car. Armed Bandit Robs Santa Ana Food Market SANTA ANA—Boldly entering the Shopshire Food market at 502 West 4th St., Santa Ana, shortly before closing time yesterday, an armed bandit held three members of the store's staff and several customers at bay and escaped with $1228.13 in vast armored camp. Hundreds of U.S. built Patton tanks covered with protective tarpaulins lined the side streets of this partitioned city on the Italian-Yugoslav border and nearby villages. The tanks armed with 90-millimeter guns which were supplied to Italy by the United States roared to within sight of the barbed wire boundary. On the Yugoslav side, Marshal Tito was reported to have brought up the same type American tanks last week. Paratroops of the crack Italian Folgore (Thunderbolt) division were busy stringing telephone cables as if they meant to stay. Armored patrols went under cover of darkness to alert positions within yards of Yugoslavia and Zone A of Trieste which the United States and Britain have promised to turn over to Italy. Marshal Tito has warned he will move his Yugoslav troops into the zone if Italian forces set foot in it. ROME (UP)—Communists and Fascists fought in Rome streets today in the second day of brawling in Trieste demonstration. Police broke up the worst clash in Via Nizza near the headquarters of the Communist Italian Partisans Association by charging Jeeps into a crowd of more than 1800 persons. The Fascist demonstrations would have been carried out peacefully, police said, if the Reds had not attacked. Police armed with rifles, water hoses and tear gas channeled marching groups away from the foreign embassies but hundreds of students shouting "Death to Tito" ranged downtown streets. The American Embassy was heavily guarded. Child Stabbed in Throat in Mishap A four-year old Fullerton youngster suffering from a deep gash in his throat, was pronounced off the critical 'list' today in Fullerton Cottage Hospital after he became the victim of an accidental knife at the hands of a four-year-old playmate yesterday at 11:06 a.m. In serious condition is Criss Stock, son of Fullerton Police Officer Vern and Mrs. Stodk, 328 Courtney Ave., who received a deep wound in the thyroid which missed severing the jugular vein by one-half inch, according to doctors. The youngster was playing at the home of a companion, Mark Martin, also four, when the Martin Armed Bandit Robs Santa Ana Food Market SANTA ANA—Boldly entering the Shopshire Food market at 502 West 4th St., Santa Ana, shortly before closing time yesterday, an armed bandit held three members of the store's staff and several customers at bay and escaped with $1228.13 in cash. The man, described as of medium build about 35 years old — had a long sharp nose as his only distinguishable feature. He carried a pistol in his right hand as he walked into the store and took command at 6:30 p.m. Speaking in a low voice he told Estella De Ately, the checker, to "stop looking scared." Then he turned to the owners, W. S. Shopshire and D. K. Shopshire, and forced the latter to open the cash registers and the safe. He received the cash contents in a cardboard box, then walked out of the store and mingled with the passing foot traffic. He disappeared to the west along Fourth St. TENS IN TEACHER DISMISSAL The claim that Tringham was guilty of lewd acts with a male teacher, a woman teacher and a male student, were not made at the time the Westminster school board discharged him, on recommendation of Supt. Richard Harris, last April. These charges were brought forth after Tringham refused to yield his credentials to William Dresser, representative of the state board of education, a few days after Tringham's dismissal. Dresser, at a routine hearing just before the school board fired Tringham, had told the press that Tringham's credentials were found to be in order and he had been "cleared". But when Tringham later refused Dresser's request for his credentials, he was told that there would be another state board hearing of his case. Tringham contended that the charges against him were "trumped up" to frighten him into giving up his credentials. The principal's dismissal aroused a storm of protest among school patrons and a number of them have subscribed to a fund for the payment of counsel fees for Scott. Scott has said that if the state hearing at Room 218 of the courthouse at Santa Ana Dec. 14, which will open at 10:30 a.m., results in an order to Tringham to give up his credentials, he will use every channel of appeal. Such an appeal first would go before a five-man state board, then to Superior Court, the Fourth District of Appeal and finally the Supreme Court. New Anaheim Fire Truck Gets Initial Workout Anaheim's new fire engine delivered early last week, received its first workout yesterday at 5:23 p.m. when it aided in quelling a grass fire which burned an area in the 200 block on North Atchinson St. Firemen had exhausted the water supply on a smaller truck in fighting the blaze when the new machine answered the call and quickly doused the burning grasps with its new twin booster pumps. A second fire in trash at the Vermont Ave. dump was extinguished at approximately the same time when a second pumper answered the alarm. No damage occurred in either fire, officials said.
