16 Misconduct Charges
Made Against Former
New Jersey Governor
TRENTON, N.J., (JV—Sixteen
charges of misconduct, including
a false bank deposit of $300,000 in
state funds, were made Tuesday
against former Gov. Harold G.
Hoffman, who died 11 days ago.
Democratic Gov. Robert B.
Meyner announced the charges at
a special press conference Tues
day on the heels of a disclosure
by Hoffman’s daughter that her
father had admitted embezzling
$300,000 to finance his political
campaigns and to pay off a black
mailing state official.
Hoffman, a Republican, who
served as governor of New Jersey
from 1935 to- 1938. was under sus
pension as director of the state’s
Division of Employment Security
at the time of his death. The divi
sion had handled a billion dollars
in unemployment funds since
Hoffman took over the post some
15 years ago.
The charges covered many of
Hoffman’s activities as employ
ment security director, Meyner
said.
Three top division employes
were suspended as a result of the
probe of the division, the govern
or announced. A fourth employe
resigned.
Upset Emotions, Stomach
Recesses Susan Hayward
Jess Barker Divorce Trial
BURBANK, Calif., OP — While
Susan Hayward nursed her upset
emotion today, attorneys for the
movie queen and her actor hus
band tried to get together on a
settlement of their divorce trial.
The trial took an abrupt recess
yesterday afternon when she re
ported sick after lunch. One o‘f
her lawyers said it was an emo
tional upset, another called it
food poisoning. It was both.
S. S. Hahn, counsel for actor
Jess Barker, said that Miss Hay
ward had offered $100,000 as a
settlement but that the offer was
turned down because “of certain
strings attached.”
Barker later explained that the
strings included a desire on the
part of the actress to pay off the
S100,000 as alimony.
“How do you suppose that
would make me look?” the actor
asked a reporter.
Part of Miss Hayward’s emo
tional distress stemmed, one
source reported, from testimony
which had her dashing through
her rear yard in the nude, chased
by a threatening Barker.
She worried about the effect
such sensationalism would have
on the couple’s twin sons and on
the moviegoing public. The com
bination of worry and something
she ate brought on the sickness,
the friend added.

f WASHINGTON, W—Sen. Mc
Carthy demanded Tuesday that
the American people be given all
the facts about conduct of the
Korean War, about loyalty boards
accused of “clearing Commun
ists,” and about what McCarthy
called a “traitorous order” by the
Truman Administration on For
mosa.
McCarthy delivered a speech on
these subjects during one of his
10-minute questioning periods at
the Army-McCarthy hearings.
Army Counselor Joseph N.
Welch had questioned whether
members of the Army Loyalty
Board should be called before
the McCarthy subcommittee and
asked to explain “how come you
decided the way you did.”
McCarthy declared members of
the board had returned Commu
nists to secret radar laboratories
at Ft. Monmouth, N.J., and had
returned subversives to Ft. Meade,
Md., despite rulings against them
by lower boards.
McCarthy said the board sent
Communists “back to positions
where they could keep a razor
blade poised over the jugular vein
of the nation.”
As for Korea, McCarthy re
viewed the dismissal of General
Douglas MacArthur by President
Truman and quoted Maj. Gen.
Franke E. Lowe as saying thou
sands of lives could have been
saved if MacArthur had been
“permitted to win the war” and
had not been “hamstrung” by the
State Department.
McCarthy also denounced an
order by President Truman di
recting the Seventh Fleet to pro
tect Formosa, the haven of Na
tionalist China, from Communist
attack and also to prevent any at
tack by Nationalists on the Chi
nese mainland.
McCarthy, quoting President
Eisenhower’s statement when Eis- j
enhower rescinded the order, said
it amounted to making the Sev
enth Fleet a “defensive arm of
Communist China.”
Red China Considers
“Early Release*’ of
American Prisoners
GENEVA, UP'—Red China yes
terday told the United States that
China will consider the “early re
lease” of American military and
civilian prisoners who have rec
ords of good behavior.
This was announced by the Uni
ted States after a third meeting
between U.S. and Chinese Com
munist representatives. An esti
mated 83 American civilians and
military personnel are either in
prison or have been unable to- get
visas to leave the China main- i
land.
The Chinese told Alexis John- j
son, U.S. ambassador to Czecho
slavakia, that those in prison are
there because of offenses commit
| ted in violation of Chinese law,
but that the Peiping regime will
review their behavior to see
whether it warrants commutation
of sentences or release.
CONGRESSIONAL BASEBALL
GAME POSTPONED BY RAIN
WASHINGTON, UP) — The an

Wednesday.
The charity game originally had
been scheduled for last night, but
a heavy rainstorm caused a post
ponement.
Guatemala Army
Ready for Revolt,
Refugees Claim
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras,
—Two former Guatemala defense
officials who fled their Commu
nist-tinged land say most of Guat
emala’s army is on the verge of
revolt.
“All we have to do is put the
spark that will blow out all the
Reds,” former Defense Undersec
retary Miguel Angel Mendoza told
reporters Monday night. “I think
there is a great division in the
army and I am sure that when
the moment comes, most of them
will take the course for which we
are fighting.”
Official quarters in Washington
received a report Monday night
that Guatemala’s army had given
President Jacabo Arbenz Guzman
an ultimatum to quit some time
Tuesday. The report, which was
described as lacking full official
confirmation, said Arbenz had
agreed to get out provided the
army guaranteed not to molest
any Guatemalans.
Observers generally concede
that Arbenz himself is not a Com
munist. But his regime has had
strong backing form the Reds,
and in return he has made numer
ous concessions to them and given
them key government posts.
Pilot’s Quick Action Saves
78 Passengers Aboard
Stricken Airliner
' GAGE, Okla., UP>—A DC-4 pas
senger plane, with one of its four
engines tom off and flames spurt
ing from the fuselage, landed its
78 passengers safely here early
Tuesday seconds before the craft
was destroyed by fire.
The craft, a non-scheduled air
liner owned by Great Lakes Air
lines, carried 75 passengers and
three crew members on a flight
originating in New York and des
tined for Los Angeles.
No one was injured and all pas
sengers had nothing but praise for
the pilot, Charles Tedesky, who
averted a tragedy with his quick
action.
It was no more than eight min
utes from the time the plane got
into distress until the pilot
touched it down safely in a light
rain at the airport of this north
west Oklahoma town.
Mama Duck Continues
To Block Construction
But Five Eggs Hatch
SEAFORD, N.Y., [F—Long Is
land’s famous mama mallard —
whose lackadaisical hatching tech
nique has held up a building proj
ect for 23 days — finally has
brought five offspring into the
world.
But things still are far from
ducky for builder Louis K. Hirsch.
Three unhatched eggs remained
today in her nest—right plunk in
the spot where Hirsch has been
itching to- get his bulldozers into
action again.
Hirsch suspended construction
work on 49 houses rather than
disturb the setting of “Trudy,”
the cutest wild duck he had ever
seen.
“Turdy” stuck with the three
remaining eggs today. Hirsch said
he would give “Trudy” a little
more time.
“Besides,” he added, “We’ve got
to take the little ones out to
learn to swim.”
Vapcrrs from an onion will not

being caused only when the pres
sure of cutting squirts tiny liquid
droplets into the eye.
