Page 2 THE KBY WEST CITIZEN Monday, June 7, 1954 Motorists Are Rescued From Colo. Blizzard ESTES PARK, Colo. (#—About three dozen motorists were rescued early today from a summer bliz- zard which trapped their cars: on Trail Ridge Road high in Rocky Mountain National Park. Dist. Ranger Edward J. Kirk of the National Park Service said it was necessary, however, to leave seven to nine tars stalled in two- to three-foot drifts. Their occupants doubled up with travelers in the last four or five cars escorted down from the 12,100- foot level by rescuers using snow- plows. ‘They reached Estes Park, eastern gateway to the park, short- ly after 3 a.m. MST. “I'm pretty sure we got every- one out,” Kirk said. ‘No one was left on the road, but you couldn't see more than a few feet. It’s still snowing and blowing hard up there and visibility is practically zero.” He said none suffered serious ef- fects from being marooned ‘‘except for the wear and tear on their nerves”. Their names were not learned. * Most of the motorists were stalled near the top of Trail Ridge Road, 26 miles from Estes Park and along the spine of the Conti- nental Divide, as the storm struck suddenly in midafternoon. Melting snow quickly froze, glazing the road with ice, and the snow then drifted. Park Service: officials said there was a sizable Sunday crowd of cars and they could only guess at the nomber requiring assistance. The summer storm brought snow to Colorado’s higher elevations, rain and hail in some other areag,| and high winds which raked the Eastern Plains. Following a line of thunderstorms, it moved on ear- ly today into Kansas and Nebraska. Well-Planned Robbery Nets $30,000 In Loot NEW YORK (#—Two men staged a well-planned robbery at the Hotel Fourteen early today, bound two hotel employes with baling wire, stole about $30,000 in Copacabana Night Club receipts and fled. The robbers missed another $20,- 000 belonging to the club. The night club is located in the hotel building. The robbers appar-| ently knew the club kent its week- end receipts in the hotel safe pend- ing the Monday mornjng bank op- ening. i Three hours after the money was stored at 3 a.m., the two robbers entered. a small office in the rear of the hotel desk. They pressed hard objects in the backs of Scott Hadden, night clerk, and John Dwyer, elevator operator, and or- dered them to lie on the floor. Then they bound the employes with wire. Police said the robbers appar- ently knew the compartments in which money was stored in the open safe. They leisurely punched out locks in two compartments, scooped up the money and fled. They made no effort to open a third compartment containing club funds. The hotel employes, loosely bound, struggled free and gave an alarm within minutes after the robbers left. TELEPHONE CALL (Continued From Page One) said “I certainly appreciate the way you, Sen. Symington and Sen. Jackson have viewed this thing,” (McClellan, Symington and Jackson are the Democrats on the McCarthy subcommittee). Stevens on this day said he did not want to appear to be request- ing an appearance before the Mc- Carthy subcommittee on the Zwicker issue, but he would be glad to appear if asked. Also read into the record was another monitored call between McClellan and Stevens, March 1, in which the senator said he was “surprised when you got off over there with that gang ‘without any- body with you.” This appeared to be a reference to the now famous “‘chicken lunch- eon’’ between Stevens and Republi- can members of the McCarthy subcommittee at which a memoran- dum of understanding was Teached. MONROE COUNTY (Continued From Page One) providing for compulsory accident Teporting. “In 1941, the Florida Regulatory Traffic Law” was enacted. This law provided that motorists involv- ed in traffic accidents in which a Person was killed or injured, or in wich the total property damage amounted to $50 or more, must report such accidents to the State Department of Public Safety. It al- So provided that all law enforce- ment officers who investigate such accidents in the regular course of duty report them to the depart- ment in Tallahassee.” If you are 65 years old, your life expectancy averages 13.4 years Key West Girl, Family To Return From Germany *Master Sergeant and Mrs. Den- nis Julian and their ten-year-old son, Michael, are scheduled to leave Germany on June 11, en route to New York and then to Key West for a month’s visit be- fore reporting to Ft.

The Ten Persons Die In Flaming Auto Collision Today OWINGS, Md. i — Eight men and two women died in a flaming head-on auto collision near Lyons Creek early today when one of the cars approached a curve on the crest of a hill in the wrong lane of traffic. ‘ One of the cars, a convertible, was in “full blaze” when Thomas Eozzolo, assistant chief of the North Beach volunteer fire depart- ment, arrived on the scene. The automobiles were 80 mangled it was difficult at first to determine in which direction either one had been traveling. All but one of the passengers in the two cars were thrown from the wreckage. The other died in the burning convertible. There were no survivors. Police said the vehicle driven by Robert E. Abell, 24, Silver Spring, Md., was in the wrong lane of traffic on Maryland Route 416 and caused the crash. The driver of the other car was Clar- ence M. Thomas, 34, Olivet, Md. Other victims in Abell’s car were identified by police as John P. Schweinhout, 24, Robert Lee Schweinhout, 20, Milton E. Stottl- myer, 20, all of Silver Spring, and an unidentified boy about 19.

School Girl Rape Victim Dies In N.Y, Pair Of Suspects Jailed On Sex | Murder Charge | NEW YORK # — A schoolgirl rape victim died yesterday shortly after her alleged attacker was jailed without bail on charges of committing .the assault and three other murders, John Francis Roche, 27, a husky, good-looking steamfitter, was the first of two alleged sex killers seized by police over the weekend. Police first got their hands on him when he was stopped Saturday for driving through a red light. The second alleged killer, ar- rested yesterday, was Norman Roye, an 18-year-old Negro who police said admitted raping and killing three Negro women. Second Man Held He aroused suspicions, police re- ported, as he stood on a, rooftop munching crackers and watching detectives examine the body of his latest alleged victim, 66-year- old Mrs. Isadora Goomes. His open shirt revealed scratches across the stomach. Police began to question him and under intense they reported, he admitted stran- gling and raping Mrs. Goomes and two other women. Wilson Says War Won’t End Communism COLUMBIA, S.C. #—Secretary of Defense Wilson said today “a third world war is not the answer” to the problem of stopping the spread of communism. In an address prepared for the commencement and 150th anniver- sary of the University of South Carolina, Wilson declared “we can- not knock ‘out false ideas with bullets; we must counter and de- stroy them with the truth, with ear age ideas and sound philoso- phy.” - In cautioning against attempt- ing to eliminate the Communist threat by another global conflict, the defense chief said: “Even a victory in such a war could be purchased only at the cost of such horrible waste and destruc- tion that the course of human prog- Tess would be set back many dec- ades. And even after the neces- sary reconstruction after such a victory in a third world war, the free world would still have the problem of what to do with the -| vanquished and how to establish -| conditions of peace in the world.” However, Wilson emphasized that the United States and the free | world must remain militarily strong. He said that “I wish I could assure you with confidence that the trend toward communism had been stopped everywhere and that there was no possibility of general war resulting from the conflict between Russian commu- “tnism and the free world.” He said Russian militant com- munism is a three-pronged threat: 1: A “psychological and propa- ganda” one involving claims “the Russian version of communism is a political and social: system su- perior to any other in the world.” The most recent victim charged against Roche was Dorothy West- water, 14, who died without regain- ing consciousness four days after she was raped, stabbed and bludg- eoned. Her crumpled body was found last Wednesday in the hall- way of the apartment house where she lived with her family in Man- hattan. Terrer In Area The attack spread terror through the neighborhood, already stirred up by the sex slaying of waitress Marion Brown, 17, less than two months before. The killing of Miss Brown on April 8 was one of the murders with which Roche was charged. Other slayings that police said he also admitted were the fatal stabbings of Mrs. Rosa Chronik, 85, last Nov. 15, and taxi driver Alex Jablonka, 43, on April 16. Roche kept his curly.head bowed at his arraignment. He was held for a hearing June 21. An ex-convict, he was reported to have a police record of burglary and larceny dating back to 1944. For a time he was confined to a mental institution in Monticello, .Y. However, Asst. Dist. Atty. Alex- ander Herman told reporters: Mental State Questioned “There is no basis for believing there is anything wrong mentally with Roche, both on his criminal record or talking to him.” In questioning their second al- leged killer, police said they learned that the crackers Roye was eating when first questioned had been bought with five pennies stolen from the victim’s pocket- book. Police said Roye told of meeting Mrs. Goomes as she entered the ilding where she lived and of throwing a noose around her neck. They said the youth demanded money and when her purse pro- duced only five pennies, he tight- ened the noose and demanded more. Then ‘‘she just died on me,” Roye was quoted ag saying. He then ravished her lifeless body, police said. Similar rape-slayings which po- 2.

(®—The Joe Must Go Club announced today it failed to obtain enough signatures on petitions to recall Sen. McCar- thy (R-Wis). The club issued a statement signed by its officers declaring the drive to secure signatures, which ended at midnight Saturday, did not reach the 403,904 signatures required by law. The club did not report on the lice said he admitted were those of Mrs. Margaret Branch, 40, Yan. 2, and Mrs. Kathleen Stewart, whose body was found in the Polo Grounds May 28. Roye was booked on charges of homicide and rape. CONGRESS HIGHLIGHTS WASHINGTON (Senators in- vestigating the McCarthy-Army row hold their 28th day of public, televised hearings. Members of the Senate Investi- gations subcommittee hear more Army-monitored telephone talks between Secretary of the Army Robert T. Stevens and (1) sub- committee senators and (2) mem- bers of the camp of Sen. Mc- Carthy (R-Wis). Sen. Potter (R-Mich), one of the investigators, says sharply conflict- ing testimony to date convinces him ‘‘there is one area of deliber- ate lying and a larger area of misinterpretation” by witnesses number of signatures it did obtain. “Although the 403,904 legally re- quired petitioners were not ob- tained, the members of the recall trying to put events in a false “I doubt that we'll ever be able to find out who is telling the truth in certain areas,” he says, but declines to elaborate. EISENHOWER PROGRAM — Committees in both houses press ahead with consideration of im- Portant segments of President Eis- enhower’s legislative program. The Senate and House agriculture committees hold separate, closed sessions and discuss general farm legislation and the Senate Finance Committee continues closed-door work on the administration's big tax revision bill, 4 “Vigilante” Units Formed In Guatemala GUATEMALA — Guatemalan workers gathered at four Commu- nist-dominated mass meetings yes- terday to organize vigilante de- fense units. The rallies served as a show of support for President Jacobo Arbenz Guzman’s leftist government. 4 The meetings were called by the nation’s two biggest labor organi- zations—the General Confederation of Workers (CGTG) and the Na- tional Confederation of Farmers (CNCG). Both are controlled by the Reds. , The CGTG sponsored one meet- ing at the seaport of Puerto Bar- Tios. The CNCG rallies were held in Guatemala City, El Progresso and Zacapa to lay the foundations ra farmer’s militia to defend “the national sovereignty.” Some newspapers have reported this militia would be armed with weapons discarded by the army. Gen. Carlos H. Sarti, army chief of staff, said, however, the army ise no connection with the proj- ect. Guatemala received a 10-million- dollar arms shipment last month from Stettin, in Communist-ruled Poland. As a result, the army re- Portedly is getting rid of some of its older weapons. The former chief of the Guate- malan air force, Col. Rodolfo Men- doza Azurdia, fled the country yes- terday in a private plane. Informed sources said he had received asyl- um in neighboring El Salvador. Col. Mendoza got away by trick- ing airport guards with the excuse he wanted to go on a test flight. Newspapers reported he was ac- companied by his brother Miguel, also a colonel and a former under secretary of defense. Miguel is considered a leader of the opposition to the Arbenz gov- ernment and is said to have been on the wanted list. é BIRTHS Baby Girl Roberts Mr. and Mrs. DeWitt E.

Robert Oppenheimer will come be- fore the Atomic Energy Commis- sion, perhaps today, but not the oral arguments his lawyers asked. A special three-man board ruled last Tuesday that the 50-year-old “Oppie,” famed as a father of the original U.S. atomic bomb, was a “loyal citizen.” But, in a 2-1 de- cision, it found him too much of a security risk to remove President Eisenhower's order of last Dec. 23 that banned him from access to official secrets. Oppenheimer’s attorneys, headed by Lloyd K. Garrison, immediately asked the AEC to bypass the usual review by the commission’s Per- | sonnel Security Review Board and have the commission itself take the case “under immediate considera- tion.” They requested permission to file a written brief by today and to argue at a later date. A high AEC official, who asked not to be named, said last night Oppenheimer’s lawyers have been For A Quick Loan $25 TO $300 See “MAC” 703 Duval Street TELEPHONE 2-8555 Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday DISTERLE. ‘Serenpley by JOHN LEE MAHIN Based co the Novel by Robart Stands ‘A Pesomount Picture Monday, Tuesday a + A SOUTH FLOK STRAND “™ told they could file a written brief but not present the arguments. To allow the oral presentation be- fore the commissioners, he said, would set a precedent for all other security risk cases. In a related development, 10 scientists yesterday told Eisenhow- er that more security reviews like that given Dr. Oppenheimer would point to a “sure road to national suicide” by eliminating “men of independent mind from our defense establishments.” In an open letter to Eisenhower, 10 ‘officers and members of the Federation of American Scientists suggested appointment of a special presidential advisory board of lead- ers in government,” science and law to form a balanced security policy.
