Aug. 18 Kefauver Campaigners Say Other Nominees 'Ganging Up' on Him CHICAGO (P)—Gael Sullivan, backers of other Democratic candidates are "ganging up" to stop Kefauver, asserted today that Kefauver from winning the party's nomination for president. Mate Dumps Unclad Wife from Home ... Divorce Granted LOS ANGELES. (P) — Her husband more than once came home drunk, lifted her out of bed and locked her outside their apartment, Jacquelyn Ann Austin told the judge today. Worst thing was, the 27-year-old model said, she sleeps unclad. The judge decided that constituted cruelty and gave $200 monthly alimony with a divorce from Robert M. Austin, 60, operator of an amusement park. Russian Embassy Must Discontinue Reporters questioned Sullivan closely for details of the alleged deals, and for names. He said, "the statement speaks for itself." He said, however, he does not include either President Truman or Frank McKinney, chairman of the Democratic national committee, among those he suspects of participating in a stop-Kefauver coalition. Russian Embassy Must Discontinue Pamphlet Efforts WASHINGTON (AP)—The State department today ordered the Russian embassy to quit publishing and distributing pamphlets in the United States. A department statement announcing this said the U.S. was suspending publication of a Russian-language magazine called "Amerika," which it had been distributing in Russia. It said the twin actions were taken because the Russians were obstructing distribution of "Amerika" in the Soviet Union. In halting the "Amerika" project, the department gave up operations on the last remaining wedge into the iron curtain. A spokesman said the alick-paper magazine was so popular in the Soviet Union that newsstands sold out all copies within a few hours after they went on sale wherever the Russian government did not interfere. Second-hand copies were sometimes sold on the black market at many times the original price of 10 rubles. The suspension action was taken, the department said, because of "progressive restriction" by Russian authorities against "Amerika," a lavishly-illustrated monthly patterned after Life magazine. In a note addressed to the Russian foreign office, the state department asserted: "As a result of this obstruction, the number of copies which can be presumed to reach the Soviet public has become so small as not to justify this effort of the government of the United States to supply Soviet readers" Reporters questioned Sullivan closely for details of the alleged deals, and for names. He said, "the statement speaks for itself." He said, however, he does not include either President Truman or Frank McKinney, chairman of the Democratic national committee, among those he suspects of participating in a stop-Kefauver coalition. MEANWHILE, "someone is ing to buy Democratic convention votes even before it starts." Sen. Kefauver's California campaign manager charged today. John Anson Ford, Los Angeles county supervisor and chairman of the California delegation pledged to the Tennessee senator, told newsmen last night that bribes have been offered to members of the California delegation. Delegates have received anonymous telephone calls asking them to switch their votes after the first ballot. Ford said. He declined to identify the faction already offering the bribes. Ford said a person who paid "more than $1800" for eight round trip tickets to Chicago gave a fictitious name and address. "It seems possible that someone was trying to influence California delegates by offering them free transportation," he said. "Wilbur Le Gette, one of the delegates from Southern California, told me he had been offered $500 if he could get three other delegates to join him in switching to another candidate after the first ballot," Ford said. Reds' Shore Guns, U.S. Ship Duel WASHINGTON (AP)—The navy reported today the destroyer Southland was hit four times in a duel with enemy shore batteries off Korea's east coast Sunday. Eight enlisted crewmen received "minor injuries." The announcement said most of the injured "presumably returned." Air Force Confirms That Skyrocket Plane Speed Is Well Over 1300 MPH MOFFETT FIELD (UP)—An apparently inadvertent disclosure that the skyrocket research airplane has flown twice the speed of sound was confirmed here today. It also was indicated that the skyrocket carries refrigeration equipment enough to cool a theater of 3000 seats. This would be necessary—in an airplane flying more than 1300 miles an hour—in order to keep the pilot from being roasted alive, and to keep the airplane metal from turning soft. The Navy has announced officially only that Douglas test pilot Bill Bridgeman flew its D558-11 skyrocket faster and higher than any other piloted aircraft has traveled. The details were kept secret. The new world speed and altitude records were set over the Mojave desert near Edwards Air Force base, Calif., last August. At an air show at Edwards last Saturday, however, an announcer, an Air Force major speaking over the PA system said the skyrocket had flown more than 1300 miles an hour. A fellow officer said later that the announcer had been authorized only to say that the plane was capable of that speed. Officials of the National Advisory committee for aeronautics, here for the biennial inspection of NCAA's aeronautical laboratory, said the disclosure of the speed was correct. The altitude mark—"more than 79,000 feet"—was in an article in the aviation trade magazine Pegasus a month ago. The skyrocket was launched from a B-29 mother ship, at about 30,000 feet, for the start of its record-shattering flight. It has a turbojet engine with a rocket engine for the additional thrust to move into supersonic flight, and has wings swept back 35 degrees. WASHINGTON (UP)—The navy reported today the destroyer Southland was hit four times in a duel with enemy shore batteries off Korea's east coast Sunday. Eight enlisted crewmen received "minor injuries." The announcement said most of the injured "presumably returned to duty." During the 24 minute battle, more than 200 rounds of five-inch shells were poured onto Communist gun emplacements, silencing five of the seven shore batteries. The destroyer returned to the firing line three hours after receiving the hits. This was the second time the Southland had duelled with enemy shore batteries. The first engagement was during the Inchon landings in 1950. None of the crewmen who were injured were from California. Younger Generation Proven Not Lazy WASHINGTON (UP)—The younger generation isn't as lazy as some claim. The census bureau says five times more high school youngsters hold jobs now than in 1940. The bureau reported yesterday that an October survey showed 28 of each 100 boys and 17 of each 100 girls in the 14 to 17 year old age bracket both go to school and hold down outside jobs. They totaled 1,600,000, compared with only 300,000 in 1940. The peak, however, was during the war when 2,300,000 held jobs in 1944.
