Cornbread-Buttermilk
Campaign Hits City
R. P "Bob 1 Matthews. Democatic
candidate for governor, spent sev-
eral hours In El Reno today, discus-
sing the issues of the current cam-
paign with local voters. Matthews,
who contends that it should not
cost a half-million dollars to seek
office in Oklahoma, brought a
“traveling billboard" with him on
a trailer, the only billboard he says
he can afford.
Matthews, publisher of the Sa-
pulpa Daily Herald, was a member
of the Turner Turnpike authority,
but resigned after differences with
Johnston Murray when the gover-
nor promoted additional Oklahoma
tollroads the past winter.
Plan Called "Impractical"
Matthews warned today that the
Oklahoma tollroad issue is not a
dead one. He believes that, although
no tollroad west, paralleling U. S.
66, was voted upon in January,
the threat of such a road in the
future has not been removed. He
said in El Reno today that it is
only a question of time until Okla-
homa City interests renew their ef-
forts to build such a tollroad west
to the Texas line.
"It isn't economically possible or
practical to build tollroads parallel-
ing main highways, and still expect
to see the free road.- they parallel
maintained properly", Matthews
said. "For this reason, it is just
good business for the business in-
terest in Oklahoma towns and com-
munities located on main highways,
to make sure of the man who is
to sit in the governor's chair of this
state for the next four years. This
is particularly true lor businesses
and communities along U. S. 66 in
western Oklahoma.
Will Oppose Tollroads
"I pledge that 11 elected governor.
I will oppose any additional con-
struction of tollroads designed to
eliminate presently existing main
state and federal free roads in
Oklahoma. I am convinced that
some of my opponents, who have
professed themselves to be friends
of free roads have made deals with
the big city interests in an attempt
to capture blocs of votes, interested
in pushing for additional tollroads.”
Matthews planned to visit Calu-
met, Geary and Watonga later to-
day after leaving El Reno.

More Arms For
Guatemala Held
YYTest Germans Block
Shipment of Shells
HAMBURG, Germany, June 14—
(U.P)—Six tons of antiaircraft shells
bound for Red-tainted Guatemala
were intercepted by West German
customs guards here late in May
and were returned to Switzerland,
Hamburg radio reported today.
Hamburg radio said 16 cases of
20-miliimeter ammunition had been
sent overland to this North Sea port
from a Swiss address.
German authorities were said to
have stepped in just before the arms
shipment was to have been loaded
aboard a ship bound for Guatemala
Believed Soviet Made
It was speculated here that the
ammunition had come from behind
the iron curtain. Switzerland, it
was pointed out. frequently is used
as a transit point for East-West
shipments.
Switzerland also is known to have
a flourishing munitions industry of
its own and recently supplied to
West German border guards am-
munition similar to the shells halt-
ed here.
Hamburg radio said that although
the nature of the arms shipment
stopped here had been openly de-
clared on customs papers German
authorities ruled that the munitions
shipment violated port regulations.
Information Censored
Last May 15 a sizeable shipment
of arms from behind the iron cur-
tain was delivered to Puerto Bar-
rios. Guatemala. Presumably ori-
ginating in Czechoslovakia, the arms
traveled from Stettin. Poland aboard
the chartered Swedish ship Alfhem.
That shipment alarmed Washing-
ton, which often has accused the
Central American nation pro-Com-
munist inclinations. The United
States rushed arms to Guatemala's
neighbors.
Since then the Guatemalan gov-
ernment has suspended major con-
stitutional civil liberties, including
freedom of the press.

France To Try
20th Premier
In Nine Years
Laniel Quits Due
To Lack of Support;
New Cabinet Planned
P A RI s. June 14—<.*Pi—Pierre
Mendes-France. who wants to ne-
gotiate with Ho Chi Minh to end
the war in Idochina, agreed today
to try to form Prance's 20th post-
war cabinet.
Many political figures doubted
whether the 47-year-old economic
and financial expert could get a
majority in the divided national
assembly to go along with his
policy, whch calls for cutting down
expenditures in Indochina and
slowing down Prance's military
buildup in Europe.
Named by President
Mendes-France was nominated
last night by President Coty to
succeed retiring Premier Joseph
Laniel. defeated Saturday in a
national assembly confidence vote.
The president also accepted Laniel's
resignation.
Mendes-France is a leader of the
assembly's radical Socialist i Mod-
erate) bloc, which was credited with
bringing down the Laniel govern-
ment. Following normal procedure,
tie wwfc the first person called to
j try to form a replacement.
Must Strengthen Stand
The new premier-designate now
must consult various party leaders
in an attempt to rally sufficient
support to ensure his confirmation
by the assembly. He failed by 13
votes to gain confirmation as pre-
mier during last summer's 37-day
government crisis. That crisis was
finally resolved by the selection of
; Laniel. w ho served just two weeks
short of a year.
Mendes-France has been a sharp
critic of the Laniel administration.
He has insisted that France must
take the best bargain possible with
the Communist-led Vietminh in
Indochina and concentrate on
building up her strength in Europe.
Two Drivers Plead
Guilty to Charges
Jess Ellison. Oklahoma City,
charged in county court Saturday
with driving while intoxicated was
fined $100 and costs by County
Judge Roy M. Faubion and his
drivers license was suspended.
He was arrested by Trooper Ira
Walk up on U. S. 66 about 14 miles
west of El Reno.
An Elk City man. Kyle Grant
Stuart, was sentenced to 60 days in
the county Jail in addition to court
costs by Judge Faubion on a similar
charge.
Stuart was arrested by Patrol
Lieutenant Garland Ethendge on
State Highway 41 east of Union
City.
In another county court case.
Wayne E Christopher, held on two
charges of passing bogus checks,
pleaded innocent on both counts,
and was returned to county Jail.

Legion Nine
Sweeps Pair
On Weekend
pOMING out of their “no-hit-
v' tis" plague and combining it
with two fine hurling jobs, the
Legion Rebels won two games
from Oklahoma City teams over
the weekend at Adams Park,
racking the Taft Crackers Satur-
day, 5-0, and the Northeast Oilers
Sunday afternoon, 11-6.
Behind the high-octane tossing
of Bruce Cottey in Saturday's tilt
with Taft, the Rebs were never
in trouble. Cottey fanned 11 and
experienced difficulty only in the
last frame, but two bullet pickoffs
on steals at second and third by
catcher Keller erased the threat.
The Legion boys plated one in the
third, one in the filth and three
in the sixth while committing
only one error.
JN Sunday’s fracas, the Legion
boys got another nifty chuck-
ing performance from Jackie Par-
ker who allowed five hits, struck
out 10 and walked two. Six Rebel
miscues permitted three unearned
tallies. The Rebs moved quickly
with singletons in the first three
innings, four in the fourth, and
one each in the last two innings.
Boogie Mowery was welcomed
back from his “no-hit vacation”
with a homerun into centerfield,
and Cottey's sacks-loaded triple
was the other big blast. Cottey
and Harris netted 3 hits in 4
times up. The Rebs amassed 14
hits.
Oklahoma City scored in the
second, third, fourth and last
inning, with secondbaseman Ham-
mond tripling.
Tonight at Enid's Failing Park,
the underdog Legion nine again
jousts with the Enid Failing nine,
State AAU champions, in an ef-
fort to avenge a 9-7 loss sustained
here two weeks ago. Nineteen boys
will make the trip.
DANIEL MARSIN
Identified by Kidnap Victim
Police Hunt For
Ransom Payoff
$75,000 Still Missing,
Suspect Gets Defense
PHOENIX, Ariz., —June 14—UP)
—Police searched the desolate Su-
pedstition mountains today for the
$75,000 ransom paid for the release
of a wealthy industrialist’s wife.
Meanwhile Daniel Marsin. 43. ac-
cused of the kidnaping, refused to
confirm or deny the abduction of
Mrs. Herbert Smith, 23.
His mother, who journeyed from
Brooklyn, N. Y.. to visit him in
jail last night, said tearfully she's
sure Marsin is innocent.
"My boy couldn't do' such a
thing," she said.
No New Leads
Marsin is being held in Mari-
copa county jail for $50,000 bond
on a charge of kidnaping for ran-
som. Police said they are building
up a strong circumstantial case
against him, but admitted they
have no new leads on the hiding
place of the marked ransom money,
The money was handed over to
a masked kidnaper Thursday in the
Superstition foothills by Herbert
Smith, Phoenix industrialist.
The current search squad of four
men. Lieutenant Clem Hoyt, Cap-
tion Onne Morehead. and detectives
Ed Langevin and Jim Wallace, pro-
bably will get relief tonight or
Tuesday morning.
Picked Out of Lineup
Police Chief Charles Thomas and
Maricopa County Attorney William
P Mahoney, Jr.. both pointed to a
long list of circumstantial evidence
on which to base the charge against
Marsin. who has been without work
for the past seven months.
Key evidence in the case appear-
ed to be identification of Marsin,
married 16 years and the father of
two children, by Mrs. Smith last
Friday.
Civil Defense Maneuver Runs
Smoothly as Major U. S. Cities
Struck by Mass 'Enemy Attack'
WASHINGTON, June 14—(UP)—President Eisenhow-
er hurried into the White House air raid shelter today to
take refuge from a fleet of imaginary atomic bombers at-
tacking the United States in the biggest civil defense drill
since World war II.
The eerie wail of sirens sounded the Red alert in the
capital promptly* at 10:01 a. m. By pre-arranged plan, traffic
was halted on all downtown streets and police guided pedes-
trians into shelters.
Mr. Eisenhower, who was working at his White House
desk when the alert sounded, got up immediately and walked
quickly with members of his staff and hundreds of White
House workers to the under-
Mock Raid
Not Felt
In El Reno
While several major cities, in-
cluding the nation's capital, were
being "clobbered" today in a mock
enemy air attack. El Reno's bus-
iness went on as usual.
Although. Enid, 64 miles to the
north, was reportedly one of the
prime "targets" mapped in the civil
defense practice maneuver, effects
of the raid apparently weren't felt
this far south.
Orly the city police department
was given notice of “Operation
Lemon Juice” as the mock attack
was labelled. Chief Lee Harvey said
the highway patrol radio network
"blacked out" in districts as notice
of the raid went out.
Network Cleared
Harvey said the highway patrol
stations put out “emergency oper-
ations" warnings in sequence as
they were notified. The state net-
work was cleared for about 10 min-
utes.

there by Mrs. Eisenhower.
The chief executive and ranking
members of his staff have working
quarters in the shelter. During the
drill, they worked at their desks
and tested telephone, teletype and
short wave radio facilities linking
the shelter with the outside world
Times Square Cleared
Simultaneously, civil defense
workers in New York set a record
by clearing Times Square within
70 seconds ater the sireas sounded
The operation, in which some 3.000
persons were directed into shelters,
was carried out in 30 seconds less
time than was required at the last
civil defense test.
In the realistic New York exer-
cise. passengers boarding a North-
west Airlines plane for Seattle were
quickly disembarked and sent to
shelter at Idlewlld airport.
The "attack" by more than 400 hy-
pothetical enemy bombers was pre-
sumed to have struck 41 major
cities in the United States and
eight in Canada.
Alabama City Cleared
Most ambitious program of public
participation was in Mobile. Ala.,
where some 26,000 persons were to
be evacuated from the downtown
area to the outskirts.
In Pittsburgh, police halted traf-

cleared despite the fact that the
siren system did not work ideally

not get the alert.
