Commie Purges Hit both Reds and Jews BERLIN, Jan. 17 (JP)—The shadow of a communist purge hovered tonight over East San Prime Minister Otto Grotewohl, a renegade socialist who has managed to get along Red rule.

Secretary Walter Ubricht and Police Chief Wilhelm Zalisser. In Budapest Hungarian police have arrested Iajos Stoeckler, the leader of the nation's Jewish community since World War II. The government announced the arrest in a one-sentence communique today.

(AP Wirephoto) Confirmation of Wilson Held up Child Rescued From 11-Inch Mine Test Hole Confirmation of Wilson Held up By Senators WASHINGTON, Jan. 17 UP—President-elect Eisenhower's cherished hope that his whole Cabinet would be sworn in on inauguration day with him was dashed today by a snag over Charles E. Wilson's stockholdings. Wilson, former head of General Motors, is Eisenhower's choice for secretary of defense but Senate opposition to his confirmation has arisen over his refusal to give up his 2½ million dollars worth of stock in the big motor firm. Republican leaders began poring over laws that prohibit a government official from taking part in contract negotiations with a firm in which he holds a financial interest, to see if it applies to Cabinet members. General Motors is the Defense Department's biggest military contractor, but Wilson and the Senate Armed Service committee at a recent hearing that he not only would not give up his GM stock but would not stand aside when future GM contracts come before him as secretary.

Vermont st., had been under psychiatric treatment for several months and was reportedly subject to despondent moods. A stepladder, presumably used to tie the rope to the rafter, was found next to the body. A lipstick stained cigarette butt and scattered ashes at the foot of the ladder indicated that Mrs. Brown had deliberated on the action for sometime before stepping from the ladder. The body was discovered by her husband, Charles E. Brown, owner of a service station at 451 W. Center st. who called police. A fire department resuscitator was summoned shortly after rescue. Child Rescued From 11-Inch Mine Test Hole GILBERTON, Pa., Jan. 17 UP—Five-year-old Laura Mae Heiser fell down an 11-inch wide strip mining test hole today and screamed hysterically for 90 minutes until 40 rescues-yanked her free on their sixth try. The little girl was playing with some friends on the floor of an anthracite strip mining project two miles northeast of this community of 2000 when she fell down the hole an estimated 10 feet. Residents to Rescue The friends summoned rescuers who found Laura Mae wedged in the cone-shaped hole crying for her "mommy and daddy" with her arms above her head. Practically all the residents of the community, located about 62 miles north-east of Harrisburg, turned out to watch. They lowered a rope and yelled to her to grab it. She performed, slipped a little deeper in the hole and failed to reach the rope. Other methods of rescue were contemplated or tried and failed. The girl's father finally calmed her with: "Don't be scared, honey, put up your hands and grab the rope." Fished Out Finally, the rescuers slid two long steel bars down the shaft one in the back, another in front of the girl. They called to the girl to grip the bars. While she did this, the men looped a heavy rope over the surface ends of the bars and let it fall slack to the bottom of the surface ends of the bars and let it fall slack to the bottom of the pit. Then they drew it tight and raised the girl to the top, as if on an upright stretcher. Corsair Pilot Killed in Laguna Canyon Crackup First Lieutenant Roger E.
