GOP LEADER The B Orange County Plain Dealer 20 Poges in 2 Sections Vol. XXXVI No. 223 Anabeim, Cali Demos Say Nixon Backing Move to Retain Primary United Press International SACRAMENTO (UPI)—Democrats charged today that Republican Vice President Richard M. Nixon was pulling strings to defeat a bill which would repeal the presidential primary in California. "The action on this bill leads me to believe that Nixon is calling the shots among Republicans in the Legislature because he cannot afford—with his presidential hopes—to have this bill pass," said Sen. James Cobey (D-Merced). "There's no question or doubt about it," added Assemblyman chairman of the State Democratic Central Committee. Republican leaders in the state immediately denied it, although one asked "Where's the leak?" The GOP caucus leader, Assemblyman Joseph C. Shell of Los Angeles, admitted Nixon had agreed to a plan to "rebuild the party from scratch" in California. Shell said Nixon agreed with California Republican leaders on a "Basic goal" for reconstruction of the party when he was in California on a fence-mending tour in February. "Strategy to carry that goal through was left to us," Shell said. asked that his name not to avoid trouble for him in the party, said the rebuilding "without Knowland to avoid the connected with them in election." Former Sen. William land ran for governor in member election. Former Goodwin J. Knight said he him to back out of the re-election for the sake of unity and he ran for K Senate seat. Both lost. The GOP leader, who party talks with Nixon, building the Husband of Joan Crawford Dies NEW YORK (UPI) — Alfred N. Steele, 57, husband of actress Joan Crawford, died at his home here Sunday. Steele joined the Pepsi-Cola Company in 1949 as a first vice president and built that firm into a multi-million-dollar concern. He and Miss Crawford were wed in a Las Vegas elopement four years ago. Miss Crawford found Steele dead in his bed when she awoke Sunday morning in the couple's penthouse apartment. The couple had just returned frs. a six-week business trip across the country and had planned to leave today for a 10-day vacation in Jamaica. A family spokesman said Steele had no hint of illness and apparently suffered a heart attack in his sleep. However, Miss Crawford told friends her husband had complained of being unusually tired when he retired at midnight Saturday. Steele's death probably will strengthen Miss Crawford's position as a large stockholder in the Pepsi-Cola Company. She held considerable stock before marrying Steele and she is expected to inherit options on 15,000 shares. She also will get Steele's salary for two years. Miss Crawford put her own career into the background to accompany him on a nearly continuous round of business travels. She collapsed after calling servants to her husband's bedside and was put under sedation by doctors. Steele joined the Pepsi-Cola company in 1949, when it had a net profit of $1,200,000 on 40 million dollars in sales, and built it to a 1938 profit of $11,500,000 on 136 million dollars in sales. The actress had been married three times previously, to Philip Troisi. The GOP caucus leader, Assemblyman Joseph C. Shell of Los Angeles, admitted Nixon had agreed to a plan to "rebuild the party from scratch" in California. Shell said Nixon agreed with California Republican leaders on a "Basic goal" for reconstruction of the party when he was in California on a fence-mending tour in February.

The administration was confident of confirmation before Herter leaves late this week for the western foreign ministers conference in Paris.

(UPI)—Discoverer II, the satellite which made history by sending a space capsule back to earth, probably will die a fiery death sometime Tuesday, an Air Force spokesman said today. The nearly 1,600-pound satellite was blasted aloft seven days ago into a polar orbit around the earth. Last Tuesday, during Discoverer II's 17th pass over the polar regions, it automatically ejected a 160-pound space capsule. TRUMAN'S BIRTHPLACE MADE MO. MONUMENT LAMAR, Mo. (UPI)—Former President Harry S. Truman's birthplace—a small, white frame cottage in this little southwest town of 4,000—was a state monument today. Sen.

The GOP leader, who sat in on party talks with Nixon, said "re-building the party from the bottom up without Knight and Knowland" was the main subject of the talks. Shell said, however, "We are rebuilding from scratch with no intention of eliminating anyone or specifically including anyone." Cobey's bill to repeal the California presidential primary and permit selection of national convention delegations by states central committees passed the Senate last week on a 21-18 vote. It was sent to an Assembly committee. Brown Opposes Bill Of the 13 Republicans in the Senate, two voted for it. One, Sen. Swift Berry of Placerville said he had committed his vote to Cobey far in advance. The other, Randolph Collier of Yreka, frequently crosses party lines in voting. Democratic Gov. Edmund G. Brown also has opposed the measure, accounting for the split Democratic vote. "The vote on SB372 was, with the exception of Berry and Collier, a straight party line vote for the Republicans." Cobey said. Neither Nixon nor Brown can afford to have people think they are afraid to face other presidential hopefuls in their own home state." Another Republican, who also asked to have his name withheld, pointed out that under the present presidential primary law, a delegation pledged to the candidate is elected and the candidate governs selection of the delegation. Under the Cobey bill, with state central committees choosing the national convention delegates, "It's an unknown factor of who would make up the delegation and how loyal it would be. I have been told that Nixon is scared to death of this." GOP Wants Assembly Shell, while denying Nixon leadership in the presidential primary issue, said the basic goal agreed upon by Nixon was to "regain the Assembly," which now has a 47-33 Democratic majority.

He said the strategy involved was to form close liaison with the county central committees "because they are the ones who choose the candidates" in the drive to regain Assembly control. Reminded that unity of the central committees under Nixon leadership also would give him closer contact on the selection of delegates to the convention if the Cobey bill passes, Shell admitted "that's involved, but we have not discussed that at all." Jury Trial Set For Manslaughter Suspect A jury trial was set for 9:30 a.m., May 11, in Division One of the Anaheim-Fullerton Municipal Court, to determine the innocence or guilt of Adolph Bernard Kinkelaar, Norwalk man charged with four counts of misdemeanor manslaughter as the result of a flery accident on the Santa Ana Freeway near Loara St. on April 15. The accident caused the deaths of four men and injured five others. At the preliminary hearing in Division Three this morning, Kinkelaar pleaded not guilty to the four counts, reduced from the original felony manslaughter to misdemeanor charges, before Judge F. E. Butler. Kinkelaar's attorney, Roger W. Roberts, asked that the misdemeanor charges not be instituted until day of trial that another ball would not need to be set. Tomorrow voters will decide the fate-of-a $1,500,000 school building bond issue requested to provide needed school housing in the growing Placentia Unified School district. The $1,500,000 school bond issue would cover the cost of building schools in the immediate future, and the program is the result of months of study at school board meetings, consultations with architects and visits to outside schools to compare building costs by the elective trustees and administrators. A citizens committee advised a building program to provide for the population increase that has been going on the district, but the committee did not specify the amount of bond that would be needed. More recently public meetings have been held in the Placentia area explaining the program to specific civic groups and interested citizens. In order to prepare for the growth in population in the Placentia area, the district has acquired the Madison Ave. school site and is constructing a school for seventh and eighth grades on the Kraemer school site. This work is being paid for on the basis of the $500,000 bond issue that was voted some years previously, but school authorities point out that $500,000 figure is wholly inadequate to even start the program they say must be started shortly. If the bonds are voted, the taxes will be spread over the entire Placentia School district, including parts of northwest Anahelm and areas surrounding Placentia.

Siles was elected president on June 17, 1956, for a four-year term. His National Revolutionary Movement has been in power since April, 1952, when it overthrew a military junta regime. More than 80 rebels were arrested, including Falange leader Luis Saenz and Roberto Freyre, co-editor of the newspaper Antorcha. Members of the youth section of the National Revolutionary Movement patrolled outside the foreign embassies to prevent other rebel leaders from taking refuge there. The government announced that rebel leaders had asked President Herman Siles Zuazo to halt rela-tion by pro-government forces. Siles ordered Secretary-General Guillermo Bedregal and Agriculture Minister Jorge Antelo to collect the rebel arms to prevent further fighting. Siles and members of his cabi-get left the presidential palace Sunday night to inspect the areas where the fighting took place. They were greeted by cheers from thousands of persons in the streets. The rebels opened their attack with an attempt to seize the police headquarters. Eighteen per-sons were killed in the fighting there, including transit Police Capt. Eduardo Chavarría. Siles' pro-labor government has been beset recently by economic troubles caused by high prices and inflation. It lost support from mining and oil workers after it was forced to cancel food and clothing subsidies at commis-saries operated by the workers.

Brown's taxation and spending schemes and plan to establish a minimum wage for farm labor have come under heavy attack by the state's top Republican leaders. The GOP State Central Committee ended a two-day meeting Sunday dedicated mainly to attacking the governor's suggestions. Saturday, Assemblyman Joseph C. Shell, GOP floor leader in the lower house, charged that Brown "wants to be sure of a king-sized surplus in the state's pocketbook next year, even though the taxpayers' pocketbook is flat." "I believe in fiscal responsibility," Shell said. He defined fiscal responsibility as "not soaking the middle class wage earner with new and higher taxes when you have all the money in the reserve to start the water program in the next fiscal year and have 100 million dollars left over." Taxes Cause Hardships He warned that higher taxes would tend to inflict a hardship on both business and the consumer, and also put government bureaus in a wasteful mood. State Sen. John F. McCarthy said that a coalition of Republicans and "responsible" Democrats should be able to stop "some of the extreme giveaway and regulatory schemes that the liberal wing of the Democratic party has conceived." the Bolivian miners shown above, intervened quickly to crush the revolt. The suicide of the founder and leader of the Falange was reported today. (UPI Telephoto) Rain Replaces Snow In Midwestern Storm United Press International A giant snowstorm, which dumped up to nine inches from the Northern Rockies across the North Central Plains, eased off today to snow mixed with rain in the upper Midwest. South of the snow, a clash of cold and warm air masses triggered damaging thunderstorms and high winds. At least six deaths Sunday were blamed on the weather, four of them in Illinois and one each in Wyoming and Oklahoma. Don Taylor, 20, Sallisaw, Okla., was killed when he was struck by lightning while feeding livestock. A woman was killed near Green River, Wyo., when her husband's car skidded on snow and struck a bus carrying 27 students. In Illinois, two priests and a woman were killed in a collision on a rain-slicked highway near Effingham, and a similar crash near Crossville killed a woman. The spring snow created hazardous driving conditions in parts of Nebraska, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana and Colorado. The heaviest accumulations fell from central Wyoming through the Black Hills of South Dakota. In South Dakota, Rapid City recorded nine inches of wet snow, Phillip five inches, Hot Springs four, Yankton three, and Pierre two. $20,000 Loss Reported as Blaze Sweeps Broom Factory in La Habra LA HABRA (OCNS) — Four fire engines from La Habra, Fullerton and the county rolled to a spectacular pre-dawn broom factory fire at 529 Delf Ave., La Habra.

Taxes Cause Hardships He warned that higher taxes would tend to inflict a hardship on both business and the consumer, and also put government bureaucracy in a wasteful mood. State Sen. John F. McCarthy said that a coalition of Republicans and "responsible" Democrats should be able to stop "some of the extreme giveaway and regulatory schemes that the liberal wing of the Democratic party has conceived." He also urged that the Legislature pass its budget before considering any new taxes. The committee attacked the farm minimum wage proposal Sunday. The group said that since farm products have no set prices, farmers might not be able to meet minimum wages during periods of low prices. Endless Bookkeeping It was also charged that the law would involve endless bookkeeping and that handicapped workers being paid on a piece-work basis would be unemployable. Other developments during the two-day meet included: —Oregon Gov. Mark Hatfield told the GOP delegates Saturday that the GOP then never been so good position so long before a presidential election. He called the Democrats "demoralized, defensive and divided," and urged the GOP to seek candidates with "ability and personality who can earn the voters' trust." —The committee voted for a resolution criticizing Brown for "pressuring legislators to force compliance with his program." —The committee approved a plan to invite President Eisenhower and Vice President Richard M. Nixon to a GOP conference later in the year which may include delegates from 13 western states.

(UPI)—A simple, 20-minute memorial service was held Sunday for Deputy Warden Theodore Rothe, 40, whose violent death touched off the bloody, 35-hour convict mutiny at Montana State Prison. As this ranching community of 3,500 paid its final respects to the official, the bodies of his murderer and another leader of the unsuccessful escape attempt lay in pine boxes at the local mortuary. Lee Smart, 19, a convicted murderer, started the riot when he shot Rothe in the back Thursday afternoon. Erly Saturday, he killed his accomplice, Jerry Myles. 44, and took his own life as national guardsmen stormed the prison. Officials said Smart's body was claimed by his mother. The unclaimed body of Myles will be buried in the prison, where the convicts once held 19 hostages including Warden Floyd E. Powell. Warden Floyd E. Powell wept as the Rev. Kenneth Schwengel eulogized Rothe as "a leader in one of the world's most difficult professions...who returned to the shepherd and bishop of our souls." The two officials had worked together for eight years at Wisconsin State Prison, and Rothe came to Deer Lodge with his wife and two children six months ago at Powell's request. Powell began a crackdown on the prisoners Sunday. The convicts were restricted to their cells in the 90-year-old prison without mess hall or yard privileges. National guardmen systematically searched each convict and every corner of the prison for concealed weapons. “There is still quite a bit of tension among the convicts,” the warden said. “We want to let them cool of for a while—but things are going to be real tight around here.”
