THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Monday, July 19, 1954 Marie Dionne Leaves Convent ' To Return To Her F. amily Brother-in-Law Says Quint Is Confused, Homesick WATERLOO, Que. () — Marie Dionne, the quintuplet who took. a nun’ first vows two months ago, has Jeft the @onvent and gone’ home. A. church official said she had @e parted temporarily for health reasons but her family said she was homesick. The mother superior at the ‘Que- bec @onvent of the,Servants of the Blesyed“ Sacrametit, which Marie enteyed asa postulant last Novem- ber, said the 20-year-old girl left there Wednesday. { Marie’s brother-in-law, Maurice Girouard, said atvhis home. here she arrived at her parents’ home fn Callander, Ont., early yester- day, accompanied ‘by three broth- ers and her quintuplet sister Emilie. The latter hit the headlines herself when she became lost ‘in Moutewal friday en route to join Marie. Erle “Let stent Commenting on that incident, Girovard ‘said: ‘‘Apparently all kinds ‘of rumors ‘started ‘to spread when. Emilie approached a police- man in Montreal. The girl simply identified herself and asked for di- rections, She was Visiting ‘friends in ‘Ste. ‘Agathe (Que.) and was on: her way to St. Charles, Que., to meet Marie.” e The brotierintaw said ‘Marie had come to ‘his ‘home ‘from ‘the convent and that Emilie had joined her here Saturday. Girouard said Marie—smallest of the quints at birth—seemed con- fused and bemesick., He added ‘he did not know whether she planned to go back to tite “eloister, ‘where she took two-year vows of poverty, chastity and obedience May 24. The Montreal Gazette quoted the quints’ father Oliva 2s saying from her unhappy letter that ‘she was trying-to decide whether to:remain in the cloisters or come back,” the Gazette quoted him. “I-know she bas been terribly lonely, but she eanralways:go back. It Has been tough on her -being separated from her four sisters with whom she ‘had lived since they were:babies.” The Dionne home in Callander could.not:be reached by telephone last night. When she took her vows last May, -her father said ‘Marie .ap- peared «genuinely happy in the convent. The order requires candidates forsnunhood to serve two-years-as novices. Life -at the ‘convent was de- scribed as “‘not difficult or hard,” but ‘it was along ‘austere lines. With other white‘garbed nuns, Martie ‘spent her “days in prayer and silent work on priests’ vest- ments, altar ‘clothes and similar duties. US.AF. Has No Plans To Extend Nuclear Bases TOKYO t#—Top U. S. Air Force sourees said today the United States "has no present plans.to use either Japan or the Philippines as a base for atom or hydrogen bomb- eartying planes. Japan was -eliminated.as a di- Tect..result of pressure from the Japanese . government, which did not -want ‘atomic weapons or H-bomb -earrying planes ‘based here, the sources said. However, Air Force bases in both places might play a role in-a “retaliation \attack” by American H-bomb-carrying ‘bombers in case of -war. ‘Big ‘tanker planes from either Japan or the ‘Philippines could rise to feed an extra load of fuel sto ~hombers ‘from Guam or Okinawa, the sources said.

McCARTHY RUNS INTO (Continued froin Page One) plants. He said he used the word “apparently” because ‘‘some may be FBI agents.” McCarthy started the hearing off as a one-man quorum. Later Sen. Mundt (R-SD) came in and took a spot by McCarthy’s side. Mundt said Wojehowski's ‘“‘riot- ous activity” had ‘‘an old aroma to me” and the man apparently was under Communist discipline. He suggested Allis Chalmers be notified and cautioned to get him away from any access to defense work or persons familiar with it. McCarthy said there is a “ser- jous question” whether Allis Chla- mers has the right to fire anyone who refused to say whether he is or is not a Communist but he/ hoped the company would follow | the example of General Electric, | which, he said, has ousted em- ployes who have refused to testify on grounds of possible self-incrim- ination. It was the first hearing at which McCarthy has presided since | March 17 when his public pursuit of Communists was shoved aside for the McCarthy-Army hearings. ! to toss the knife seat of the car. Tot Is Found After Desperate Mountain Search KNOX, Maine (#—Jubilant siren peals and a thankful mother’s rush up a hillside signaled success yes- terday in a search of mountainous bear country for a 38-year-old boy lost for 24 hours while picking blue- berries. Donald Bradstreet of Hampden and Stephen Fowler of Albion, members of a search group aided by a helicopter, located Gary Bailey unharmed except for scratches. He was found a mile and a half from where he dis- appeared Saturday. The child’s mother, Mrs. Kennet Bailey of Thorndike, searched throughout Saturday night with the group and was trying to rest when woodsmen trotted out of the brush with Gary. Catching sight of the lad she sprinted up a rugged slope and hugged the youngster to her. About .500 persons, .including game wardens, state police, fire- men, Boy Scouts and volunteers scoured the dense woods. The lad’s father, almost blind and unable ‘to search actively, kept a vigil close by a phone in a forest fire watch tower. One Death Known As Flash Fleed ° P Hits W. Va. Town RICHWOOD, W.Va. #—A flash flood smashed the central West Virginia town of Richwood today taking at least one life and ruining Perhaps one million dollars worth of property.

The young woman said that she did not see the knife but grabbed it by the blade in an effort to free herself. He then pulled her down into his lap, she testified. “I just want to talk to you,” she quoted Senk as saying at this point, She added that as a car passed, she considered kicking out the window but that she “changed her mind beeause.she was in fear for her life.” Soon, she festified, Senk drove out past Bora Chiea. The young wife said that she asked Senk if he “‘believed in God.” “Yes, I'am a‘ Catholic,” she said he answered. “He was driving with one’ hand and had the other at my throat,” | she continued. When they reached a deserted road, she said that Senk stopped and turned off the car lights. In answer to her pleas, he did: agree into the back Indecent Advances But he then made indeeent ad- vanees, according to her testi- mony. At this point in her testimony the young woman broke down and sobbed, unable to continue. State Attorney Lester then asked for a recess to allow her to regain her composure. The trial continued this after- noon. Senk appeared this morning dressed dapperly in a grey suit, blue suede shoes and a neatly- knotted blue knit necktie.
