Blame for Envoy’s
Death, Say Swedes
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, (£> —
Sweden accused the Soviet gov
ernment today of lying about
Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallen

prison.

Swedish-Russian relations, Swe
den said the Soviet government
could not escape responsibility for
•the “high-handed” acts of its
secret police.
The Swedish note was in reply
to a Soviet memorandum of Feb.
6 placing the blame for Wallen
berg’s fate on Victor S. Abaku
mov, Soviet Minister for State
Security who was executed ii
December, 1954.

Ingrid, James Dean Top Nominees
In Hollywood Oscar Race, for Their
Work in Films ‘Anastasia’ and ‘Giant’
By JIM BACON
HOLLYWOOD, OP) — Ingrid
Bergman, Hollywood’s most fa
ctious exile, and James Dean, only
person ever nominated twice in
death, were rated today as the
actress and actor to beat in the
movie’s annual race for Oscars.
And the movie “Giant” took a
favored spot in the best film cat
egory as the smoke cleared from
last night’s announcement of the
29th annual Academy Award
nominations.
Mis Bergman, absent eightJ
years from the town where she
gained her greatest fame, will
have stiff competition in the top
actress division from the follow- j
lag:
^arroll Baker of the contro-;
versial “Baby Doll;” Kathryn'
Hepburn for “The Rainmaker;”
Nancy Kelly for “The Bad Seed,”
and Deborah Kerr for “The King
And I.”
Miss Bergman was nominated
for her sensitive portrayal of the
Russian Princess in “Anastasia.”
Dean, (nominated last year for
the brooding adolescent of “East
of Eden,” got it this year for his
first role as an adult—that of the
millionaire oil wildcatter in
“Giant.”
He likewise will have excep
tionall stiff opposition in Yul
Brynner (“King And I”); Kirk
Douglas (“Lust for Life”); Rock
Hudson (“Giant”) and Sir Laur
ence Olivier (“Richard III”).
Dean’s role in “Giant” was
completed only days before his
tragic death in a grinding auto
crash.

Need for Alaska
Game Protection
WASHINGTON, iff) — Rep. Kir
(wan (D-Ohio) has his own opinion
on the Army’s effect on Alaskan
wildlife.
“With the Army up there (Alas
ka) now they will destroy the ani
mals,” he said at a recent House

one of the Colonels up there is
shooting wildlife. If ever wildlife
should be protected, it should be
protected now.”

ginning July 1.
'Sneak Boats’ and ‘Body I
Booting’ Are Ducky Terms J
ANNAPOLIS, Md., UP) — When j
a state senator started using such,
terms as “sneak beats” and “body
booting,” his colleagues asked for
some explanations.
A “sneak* boat,” said Senator
William S. James, is one with an
oar extending out the rear end
and is used for creeping closer to
ducks.
As for the system known as
“body booting,” he said, “you
have to be crazy or athletic to
use it.”
The Chairman of the State Sen
ate Agricultural and Natural Re
sources Committee said it re
quires climbing into a long “boot”
which comes up to the arm pits.
“Then you wade out into the
water, stand amidst the decoys
and hope the live ducks will think
you’re a stump.”
Mayor Heads Mexican
Village Mob to Clean Up
Bawdy Establishments
JALAPA, Mex., — An ar
mored mob of Roman Catholics
closed bars and houses of prosti
tution in the village of Banderilla I
after threatening to dynamite the
places and lynch their operators.
Banderilla, near this Gulf of
Mexico coastal city in Veracruz
state, was reported back to nor
mal today after the riots.
Officials said the crowd was
headed by the village mayor, who
had been unable to get Jalapa
officials to close the establish- '
ments.
Traffic on both city streets and
the federal highway was blocked
for two hours. The mob was
armed with rocks, pistols and
sticks. .
Georgia House Passes Resolution to
Impeach U. S. Supreme Court Justices
For ‘High Crimes and Misdemeanors’
ATLANTA, (J) — A resolution i
calling for impeachment of six i
Justices of the U. S. Supreme i
Court has been passed by the
Georgia House and sent to the
Senate despite a member’s pro- ;
test that “we’re making ourselves '
ridiculous before the world.” j
It was approwed Monday by j
a slim margin of four votes, with !
57 members not voting. The roll j
call count was 107 to 33. A con- I
stitutional majority of 103 was
necessary for passage.
The resolution, drafted by Atty.
Gen. Eugene Cook, charged “high
crimes and misdemeanors” to
Chief Justice Earl Warren and
Associate Justices Black, Doug
las, Reed, Frankfurter and Clark.
Rep. Raymond Reed spoke out
against what he called “a far
fetched resolution” based on “un
reasonable, unfounded evidence.”
“We’re making ourselves ridic
Texas Oil Production Up
AUSTIN, Tex., UP) — The Tex
as Railroad Commission today
ordered an increase of 210,901
barrels daily in crude oil pro
duction for March, compared with
February.
The United States government
as well as governments in Eur
ope have sought a major increase
in the Texas oil allowable to
take the place of Mid-East oil
whose delivery was halted or
slowed by the Mid-East crisis be- j
tween Egypt and Israel. 1
ulous before the world,” he said.
“What better way could we serve
the Comunist press than to throw
out such a resolution as this,
based on unwarranted and un
founded charges.”
The resolution made several
charges based mainly on rulings
in sedition and segregation cases.
It would have the Georgia Gen
eral Assembly declare that the six
justices “are guilty of attempting
to subvert the Constitution of the
United States, and of high crimes
and misdemeanors in office, and
of giving aid or comfort to the
enemies of the United States.”
