01 Wedding Vows
ROME (UPI) A Rome civil
coutt today granted annulment of
Ingrid Besgman's Mexican proxy
marriage to Roberto Rossellini
but the state was reported plan-
ning to appeal the verdict
This wauld mean an annulment
could not become final for at
least a year
Court President Mario Ella
signed the verdict granting Ital-
ian film director Rossellini's re-
quest for a declaration that his
marriage to Miss Bergman was
not valid
Miss Bergman did not contest
the suit
The court sent copies of the ver-
dict to the attorneys for Rossel-
lini and Miss Bergman and to
public prosecutor Dr Martino
Ferrajolo
Court sources quoted Ferrajolo
as soing he planned to appeal
the verdict within the next two
days on grounds of insufficient
documentation
An appeal would force a delay
In Miss Bergman's plans to mar-
ry Swedish impresario Lars
Schmidt She announced last
weekend in London that she and
Schmidt intended to wed as soon
as she was free' to do so
Tuesday a report from Bombay
said Indian scriptwriter Sonali
Das Gupta had filed for divone
from her husband Hari
Rossellini's name had been
linked romantically with Sonali
before the breakup of his mar-
riage to Miss Bergman
Rossellini and Miss Bergman
got a legal separation from a
Rome court last November They
were married in 1950 shortly
after the birth of their first child
Rossellini had asked for the
annulment on giminds Miss Berg-
man's Mexican diverce from her
first husband Swedish surgeon
Peter Lindstrom was not valid
under Swedish law
As a result Rossellini's attor-
ney contended Rossellini's proxy
marriage to Miss Bergman May
24 1950 in Juarez Mey:ico was
void
Lindrtrom later won a Swedish-
recogrized divorce from Miss
Bergman in Los Angeles Calif
He since has remarricd

State And Local Officers
Press Search For Three
Convicts From McAlester
Baum
Shawnee police aided by area highway patrol units
late today closed in on a man in the Shawnee lake dam
area believed to be one of the three escapes from Mc-
Alester Late reports on the situation indicated the Man
was surrounded and that his capture would be immediate
State and local authorities pressed their search today for
three convicts including two serving life terms for murder
who escaped 1Vonday from the Oklahoma State Penitentiary
at McAlester
Warden H C McLeod said today that no trace had been
found of the three men since they disappeared after roll call
late Monday afternoon The
rik Ithree convicts were trustees
"The only report we have had
has come from Holdenville where
officers said two reports of men
matching two of the escapees was
turned in" McLeod said
He went on to say however that
the reports failed to produce any
results and said that they could
have been just a case of mistaken
identity
Sheriff T J Sanders said he
had no new reports last night but
the local police department said
they were called concerning a man
sleeping near the Holdenville high
school football stadium
The man proved to be a truck
driver who had pulled off the high-
way to catch a few extra winks
Sheriff Sanders said again today
there were no reports of stolen
cars in the area and this seems
to indicate the prisoners are afoot
Warden McLeod said in all
probability the trio is hiding
somewhere in Pittsburg county or
a neighboring county "waiting for
things to die down before attempt-
ing to make a run for it"
The escapees are Earl Schrimser
50 Dolphus Quinton 55 and Eu-
gene Cosby 33
Quinton and Schrimser were
serving life terms on murder con-
victions and Bosby was serving a
12-year sentence for forgery
The prisoners were last seen at
a trustee roll call at the prison
Monday afternoon They were
wearing hickory shirts and blue
denim pants
The escapees while not believed
armed should be considered ex-
tremely dangerous and are cit-
izens spotting strangers should re-
port to the nearest law officers as
soon as possible

WIESBADEN Germany (UPI) — One of nine US

American ' -
Maj Bennie A Shupe told a packed news conference the
peasants had a noose around his neck and the other end of
the rope tied to a telephone pole when he finally made them
understand be was an American
It was not clear whether the Armenians thought they
were about to hang a Soviet flier or perhaps more likely a
Turk their traditional blood enemy from across the border

'Opezn Way for
Chinese Trade
OTTAWA alPII—An agreement I
between President Eisenhower
and Prime Minister John Diefen-1
baker opened the way today for 1
possible limited sale to Red China
of goods 'produced in American-
ownol Plants in Canada I
The agreement announced late
Wednesday provided for full con'
sultation between Canada and the
United States on an individual
ease basis when on American
subsidiary in Canada receives
from Red China a firm order or
goods
The schedule for the final day
of Eisenhower's three day visit
here callect for a final conference
with Diefenbaker in the morning
and a round of golf in the after- 1
noon -
He will fly back to Washington
Friday with a two-hour stopover
at Massena N Y to inspect a
recently - opened section of the
St Lawrence Seaway
Eisenhower and Secretary or
State John Foster Dulles made
the concession on trade with Red
China in their goodwill campaign
to patch up ceonomic differences
with Canada and t restore the
traditionally close relationship be-
tween the two neighbor countries
Canadian sources said Dicten-
baker and his cabinet members
were "very pleased" and opti-
mistic that the agreement would
produce tangible results
Canadian Finance Minister Don-
ald rieming said it was Canida's
intention that Canadian law alone
would prevail over U S-owned
businesses in Canada where sale
of non-strategic goods to Red
China is permitted
But White House Press Secre-
tary James C Hagerty refused
to go beyond the official joint
ststemnt itself
It said that where export po-
licies and laws conflicted "there
will be full consultation between'
the to governments with a view
finclimg through appropriate
procedures satisfactory solutions
to concrete problems as they
arise" 1
The President and the !mime
minister also agreed on closer
cooperation in e f f or t s to get
Russia's agreement on military
inspection zones particularly the
Arctic to safeguard against sur-
prise attack
A second joint statement said
they had "reaffirmed the closeness
of the views of the two govern-
rnenta On a suitable approach to
these questions" and other phases
of possible disarmament
The two heads of state said
they were encouraged by a recent
note from Russian Premier Nikita
S Khrushchev on holding of East-
West talks on safeguards against
surprise attack But they saki
some of the Red leader's conei-
bons were unacceptable
Hagerty said Eisenhower will
reply to Khrushchev soon

mula "Edmondson and I independent-
ly have fought against the Gary
Atkinson machine The election of
Atkinson would mean the continu-
ation of the power of the Gary
Atkinson machine"
Miskovsky predicted "an over
Whelming majority ef my support
ers will go for Edmondson"
Edmondson said he welcomed the
support of Miskovsky who has
two years remaining of his term
in the upper house of the Leg's
lature
"The fights against vested inter
ests is a difficult one and we need
all the help we can get'' Edmond-
son said "George has clearly
demonstrated nis ability as a
fighter It is good to have him
with us"
tliskovsky's jump left only one
of the major contenders in laet
week's voting still to be heard
from He is Andrew Wilcoxen
Muskogee Wilcoxen also cam-
paigned against the powers-that-be
and attempted to tie Atkinson in
with them
Edmondson has been arguing
for abolition of the "old guard"
Newsmen peinted out that Miskov-
sky has been in politics many
Years and has been a jwerful
figure in the Senate but Mskev-
sky said he didn't think the old
guard label fits himself
"I have been assured by Mr
Edmondson that his specific refer-
ence to the old guard was to the
Gary-Atkinson machine And he
did not intend to involve the many
dedicated public servants of Okla-
homa in his attck upon the old
guard" Miskovsky said
Coe and Rinehart the former
dean of the state Senate repeated
charges that AtkinFon has made
about EdmoneLon in the past few
days
The charges included that the
young Tulsa County prosecutor is
receiving financial aid from a
major oil importer that he has
strong Repubkican support in Tul-
sa that he failed to clean up Tulsa
County and that he hcks experi-
ence and qualifications
Rinehart lambasted Edmondson
for not presenting a program in
the primary campaign Coe
-dvergent" from those of the oth-
er primary candidatcs
Rinehart in announcnz his sup-
poi t of Atkinson Wednesday listed
oil imports and a permanent
school finance program as im-
portant issues In the night
speech he elaborated on the im-
ports issue
"The best interest of Olda-
homa demands a governor who is
strengy opposed to the importo-
tion of foreign oil and who can
and eill lead the fight to restrict
such importatiln" he said
