Soviets “Rehabilitate” Dead Hero
MOSCOW, (#> — Marshall Mik
hail N. Tukhahevsky has been
fully rehabilitated and hailed as
one of the Soviet Union’s great
est’ military commanders - 21
years after his execution on trea
son charges in the Stalin purges.
The latest issue of problems of
history, a journal released to
day, removed any doubt about his
place in official Soviet history.
It said he was among such “Great
military commanders” as S. S.
Kamenev, A. I. Yegorov and B. M.
Shaposhnikov.
The great Soviet encylopedia
brought Tukhachevsky back from
disgr ce earlier this year by say
ing he was one of several “tal
ented” Soviet military command
ers of his period. *
Born a Nobleman, Tukhachev
sky fought for the Czar in World
War 1. Soon after he returned
from a German prison camp in
1917 he joined the Bolsheviks
and in 1919 was placed in com
mand of the Caucasus.
Tukhachevsky had a leading
role in several military actions
on behalf of the Bolsheviks. At
44 he became the youngest of
five Soviet' Marshals. He served
as Vice commissar of Defense and
was one of the government’s
leading spokesmen and diplomat
ic experts.
The Tukhachevsky case shocked
the world in 1937. The Soviet
Marshal, accused of conspiring
with foreign powers including
Nazi Germany, was shot after
he and seven other outstanding
Red Army leaders were convict
ed of treason at a one-day closed
court-martial. Most of the jud
ges subsequently were shot.
The trial set the stage for Stal
in’s big purge of Red Army of
ficials, in which thousands were
executed.

House Makes Cuts
In Labor, Welfare
Dept. Monies
WASHINGTON, UP)—The House
Appropriations Committee re
commended $2,961,862,181 in new
funds for the Labor and Welfare
Departments. It said more money
will be needed soon “because of
current economic conditions and
the outlook for the future.”
The amount approved by the
committee subject to House ac
tion later this week is $11,975,000
less than President Eisenhower
requested in what the committee
described as budget estimates
“far . . . from reality.”
The committee criticized the
Budget Bureau for not raising the
requests prepared last fall and
submitted by Eisenhower in Jan
uary. It also called “inadequate”
the administration’s approach to
national health problems and said
the Wage and Hour Division was
not effectively ferreting out wage i
and hour law violations.
The committee’s token cut in
new appropriations left the two
big departments and several re
lated activities with $215,504,600
less than they were given during
the current year. Much of this
cut undoubtedly will be restored.
WASHINGTON, OP) — The
White House said today President
Eisenhower has not yet received
written recommendations from
Defense Secretary McElroy on re
organization of the Defense De
partment, but is “completely fa
miliar” with what McElroy in
tends to recommend.
Press Secretary James C. Hag
erty made the statement to news
men when told there were re
ports McElroy’s formal recom
mendations have been sent to the
White House.

And Alec Guinness Gets It For ‘Kwai’
Joanne Woodward Wins Oscar for ‘Eve’
HOLLYWOOD, UP> — Joanne
Woodward, who came to Holly
wood’s fanciest party of the year
in a dress she sewed herself, and
Britian’s “Man-of-1,000-faces,” Al
ec Guinness, today hold Movie
dom’s top Oscars.
“Tfie Bridge On The River
Kwai” was voted the best pic
ture Wednesday night at Holly
wood’s 30 th Academy Awards,
a show that many critics called
one of the best ever.
Red Buttons, a comic unwanted
by television, won the supporting
actor Oscar for his first movie
and first serious role. Buttons
played the U. S. airman who mar
ried a Japanese girl in “Sayo
nara.” And Miyoshi Umeki,
who played Button’s wife in the
picture, won the feminine sup
porting Oscar. She was the first
Japanese to win the honor.
Miss Woodward bought $125
worth of material and whipped up
a dress and coat that looked all
right among the high priced Dior
and Don Loper creations of the
other movie queens.
Miss Woodward had an act
tress’ tour de force in “The Three
Faces of Eve”—and she did it the
hard way, The picture was a
true life psychiatric study of a
Georgia woman with a triple
■personality.
Guinness, usually a 'master of
British satire, played a hard
nosed British Colonel in “Kwai”.
His award was accepted by act
tress Jean Simmons, an old friend.
Guinness wanted to fly over for
the Academy Awards but an in
surance policy on his current
.novie prevented him leaving
England.
In London, Guinness said, “I am
very delighted and surprised.”
At the studio where he is work
ing his colleagues gave .him an
ovation.
“Bennie The Cork"’ to be Denied Right
to Vote in Canada’s March 31 Election
FORT ST. JOHN, B.C., (UP)—
Helicopters are flying ballot boxes
to remote areas in the Rocky
Mountain trench area west of
here for the March 31 Federal
election. But election officer
John W. Baker draws the line at
sending one to Old Fort Grahame.
The reason: only one vote was
cast there in the last June’s elec
tion. The cost of recording it
was $241.50.
Ben Cork, one-legged war vet
eran renowned for his wit, is
“the” man at Fort Grahame. He
runs a small trading post for
Indians.
“Bennie The Cork,” as he is
known up and down the Findlay
River, has great hopes for the
future of Fort Grahame, 600
miles north of Vancouver. It was
once a flourishing Hudson’s Bay
Co. outpost, but the company
closed down its store some years
ago.
Bennie wrote in, assuring of
ficialdom that he would be de
lighted to help out by acting as
Deputy Returning Officer March •
31.
Baker looked over his Fort
Grahame records for 1957 and
found that the account showed
five payments in favor of Ben
nie the Cork. He got $175 for
flying in the ballot box and bal
lots, drew $25 for enumerating
eight possible voters and smaller
sums for rental of the polling
station, wages for serving as dep
uty Returning Officer, and other
expenses.
Then the $241.50 expended, the
lone ballot cast was that of—
Ben Cork.
“There be hundreds of voters
between here and the Yukon de
nied the right of free men if ye
refuse to follow Democratic
principles and don’t keep open
j as usual at Fort Grahame,” Ben
I nie wrote.
Baker said no.
