On Korea
SEOUL, June 32 IB—Communist
North Korea, confronted by the
fact that new America: weapons
will be moving soon to South Ko-
rea, proposed today to dicker
again over the future of the di-
vided nation.
Radio Pyongyang broadcast a
caU by North Korea's Premier
Kim II Sung for an immediate
conference of all nations "con-
cerned for the peaceful solution of
the Korean question."
“The unification of Korea should
be left to the Koreans themselves
by withdrawing all foreign troops
from Korea instead of introduc-
ing new weapons into South Ko-
rea," he declared at a reception
in Pyongyang for a Soviet dele-
gation headed by Ambassador
A. M. Puzanov.
At the same time the U. N.
Command's decision to disregard
a prohibition in the armistice
agreement of July 37, 1953, and
start arming its troops with mod-
ern weapons was denounced by
the North Korean Communist par-
ty newspaper Rodong Shinmoon.
The U. N. Command had been
charging the Communists with
violating that prohibition, and
building up their forces with the
aid of Red China, almost since
the armistice was signed.
A top Allied source in Seoul said
U. N. forces in Korea will receive
their first new fighting equipment
in four years Monday with deliv-
ery of a flight of F100 fighters,
all-weather craft which fly faster
than sound.
The first additions for ground
troops in Kores will be a ship-
ment of new rifles, bazookas and
other infantry equipment for U.S.
American divisions here. There

Weaver Says Washburn
Demanded $20,000
DALLAS, June 22 (—Harry E.
Weaver, 68, today told of death
threats made by Harry L. Wash-
burn unless Washburn was given
320,000.
Washburn is charged with the
car-bomb slaying of Mrs. Weaver,
wealthy San Angelo socialite.
Washburn was her son-in-law.
At Washburn's trial today,
Weaver told this story:
In the early morning hours of
April 22, 1951, he was awakened
to find Washburn standing in the
Weaver bedroom.
the weapons will arrive.
Indications here are that it has
not yet been decided whether the
coming weapons will include
atomic missiles and rockets.
Korean military leaders have
repeatedly demanded atomic
weapons to bolster the 21 ROK
divisions. Sources said, however, maybe 3 a.m. I saw Washburn
"I had been asleep. It was
that if atomic weapons were
brought into the country, they
would be handled only by U.S.
troops and not the Koreans.
One new wing—75 planes-of
F86F Sabre Jets will be added
to the present single Korean wing,
and the Korean troops will be
given new trucks to replace their
worn-out equipment.

He said the lights were on, al-
though he had turned them out
on retiring shortly after mid-
night
"He had a gun in either hand.
The guns were pointing at Mrs.
Weaver.
" Don't either one of you more
or I’ll kill you both.’" Wearer
quoted Washburn.
" ‘You’re going to write me a
check for $20,000 and other mon-
ey and write me a letter.'"
Weaver said Washburn added.
Much of Weavers testimony
was the same as that given at
Washburn's Waco trial in which
he was assessed a life sentence
Dec. 9, 1955. The court of Crimi-
nal Appeals ordered a new trial
because of the appearance of an
ex-convict, Andrew Nelson, as a
prosecution witness.
The state contends that Mrs.
Weaver was a "mistake” victim—
that the bombing was aimed at
Weaver, who, the state contends,
prevented Mrs. Weaver from giv-
ing money to Washburn.
Washburn contends-he was tak-
ing his daughter to school in
Houston, hundreds of miles south-
east of San Angelo, where the
bomb went off Jan. 19, 1955.
The trial started last / night
after almost a week of jury se-
lection.
Tom Green County Commis-
sioner Hylton Buster said he heard
the explosion and saw parts of
the car flying in the air. He said
he saw Mrs. Weaver slumped
over behind the steering wheel.
He said she groaned three or
four times.
Sewell Kenley, a neighbor of
the Weavers, said he arrived
shortly after the blast and that
the car was smoking and twisted.
Henry Lamb, now of Big Lake,
Tex., operated a filling station
across the street from the scene.
He said he saw Weaver taking
packages from his wife’s car to
his own the morning of the ex-

Girard Case
SAN ANGELO, June 32 IB -
The Texas Department of Vet-
erans of Foreign Wars today
criticized President Elsenhower,
Secretary of State Dulles and the
U.S. Army for surrendering Spe-
cialist 3. C. William Girard to
Japan for trial in the death of
a Japanese woman.
Girard claimed the shooting,
which took place on an Army
range, was accidental. He is be-
ing held by the U.S. Army in
Japan pending a U.S. Supreme
Court ruling on jurisdiction in the
controversial case.
The Texas Department's action
came in a resolution passed at
its annual encampment.
The resolution as introduced
named only the U.S. Army, the
Department of State, the execu-
tive branch of the government
and Dulles.
However, the encampment
unanimously adopted an amend-

WASHINGTON, June a (—Fat

the Air Force has decided. Com-
manders have been ordered to
pare down overweight supersonic

A regulation from the inspector
general which became public to-

It explained: "Medical person-

In case of sudden decompression,
the freed gas bubbles can cause
severe, often disabling symptoms
and even death.”
The inspector general said two
cases of death following explosive
decompression at 30,000 feet have
been reported. Both individuals
were riding in jet aircraft as pas-
sengers and death occurred in
each case within a few hours after
the aircraft landed.

SAGERTON, June 33 (RNS)-
An early morning $4,500 fire Sat-
urday, which for a time threaten-
ed three other buildings, totally
destroyed Bell’s Highway Cafe
here and caused about $600 dam-
age to the adjoining Lets Grocery
and Food Market.
The cafe was a total loss. W. E.
(Cotton) Bell, operator, estimated
his loss of personal items at $800
to $900. The building and equip-
ment. owned by George Griffin
of Stamford, was valued at $3,000.
Cause of the fire was unknown.
The fire, discovered about 3:15

He said nearly everything that
was in cases, scales, cash regis-
ters, adding machines and other
business equipment was removed
from the grocery store by towns-
people.
Late Saturday afternoon, busi

store. Bueford Letz, owner, had
a.m., was fanned by a strong
south wind which carried the
flames over the roof of the ad-
jacent buildings. The cafe, located
on east-west U.S. Highway aa,
was at the south end of a business
block. Businesses to the north in-
cluded the grocery store, another
cafe and a building in which baled
bay was stored.
Firemen from Rule and Stam-
ford, who answered an alarm
turned in by Mrs. J. A. Clark,
prevented the flames from spread-

Joe Clark of Sagerton sold the
firemen arrived in time to put
ent the fire after it had spread
to the roof of the grocery store.
The flames had already consumed
the 20-by-30 foot building which
housed the cafe.
Clark said the roof of the
grocery was torn off to get to

of the building was credited with

FT. SILL, Okla., June 22 m
Four soldiers were killed and 13
were injured, five seriously, today
when a high explosive mortar
shell landed among them during
a public demonstration.
Capt. Robert E. Kren, public
information officer at the world's
largest artillery training center,
said that none of the spectators
was injured by the blast which
occurred about one mile from
where they were standing.

dead as Sgt. Alonso Cartlidge, 33,

Col. 0. L. Tobiason has been

He said the mortar shell, fired
from a weapon which also can
be used to fire chemical shells,
was believed to have been a
“short round," one which falls
short of its intended target.
It fell among members of Com-
carpenters busy Saturday replac-
ing the roof and the front doors
which had been torn open to get
into the building during the fire.
The fire was first noticed by
passengers in a passing auto-
mobile. They awakened Pete Lusk
about 3:15 a.m. Saturday, Clark
said. Lusk notified Bell and Whit
Clark, who live nearby, and Clark
fired his shotgun to spread the
alarm.
The Rule and Stamford fire de-
partments sent pumper trucks and
carried enough water to battle the
fire since there was no way for
the trucks to utilize a tankful of
water here.
Saturday afternoon. Bell, who
is school bus driver for Sagerton,
was discussing the possibilities of
opening the cafe in another vacant
building, across the street east of
the one destroyed Saturday.
The fire Saturday was one of
the few in the business section
since several buildings were
burned in 1926. The gin here
burned in 1949.
Clark, an oil field pumper and
farmer, described the loss as a
severe one for the community.
