800 of his creditors and lenders turned up for his
$200-a-plate luncheon of beans, cornpone, fatback,
sugar molasses, butter milk and ice cream.
During the five-hour session, the guests heard
14 speeches, three of them by Addison. They
repeatedly interrupted with applause and cheers
and gave nine standing ovations.
Each wore a red-and-white button declaring,
“I am a satisfied lender and creditor of John
Milton Addison.”
Henry Stowers, a spokesman for Addison,
quoted the promoter as saying he will take the
money from the luncheon — about 3120,000 —
and use it as I see fit in the organization.”

The guests signed statements to the effect that
they didn’t want back the money they have
loaned Addison.
Billed as “a reaffirmaion of faith in John
Addison," the luncheon came at a time when he is
fighting against being declared bankrupt.
Addison and his uranium ventures, particularly
k a machine to upgrade ore, have been involved
in court actions for almost a year. State and
federal officials claim he has obtained millions
of dollars from thousands of people in several
states. Addison claims the money he has re-
ceived was in loans and not investments.
Federal bankruptcy referee Elmore Whitehurst
has overruled Addison’s motion to dismiss an in-
voluntary bankruptcy petition brought by a
creditor.
Addison was acquitted in San Antonio last year
of a charge to defraud.

Post-Midnight Speech Made
To Cheering Cuban Crowd
HAVANA (AP)—Fidel Castro warned his enemies today
that Cuba’s revolutionary army is stronger than the Al-
gerian nationalists who are holding off a French force of
half a million.
But, he told a cheering crowd, the amount his govern-
ment is spending for arms “should be of no one’s concern.
What is important is that the bulk of the revolution’s
resources have not been invested in arms but in tractors
and machinery.”

Record-Chronicle Staff Writer
Mrs. J. R. Patterson Jr. of 324
Bradshaw remained in critical con-
dition at Flow Memorial Hospital
this morning after she was injured
in a car-train wreck in Denton
Sunday morning.
Mrs. Patterson, 33, was one of
11 persons injured in six separate
auto accidents in Denton over the
weekend and this morning.
The car-train accident that in-
jured Mrs. Patterson occurred
about 10:30 a.m. Sunday.
The Patterson car, occupied by
Mr. and Mrs. Patterson and their
three children, stalled on the rail-
road tracks on Frame Street.
Police Sgt. LeRoy McDaniel,
who arrived at the scene immedi-
ately after the accident, said Mrs.
Patterson was not in the car when
the accident occurred.
OFF THE TRACKS
She was completely off the tracks
when the Texas and Pacific train
hit the car. The impact knocked
the car into her and pinned her
under the auto.
McDaniel said J. P. Zimmer-
man of Fort Worth was the engi-
neer of the 80-car train.

torney who always loses to Perry
tical history.
SCHOOLS
He reminded party leaders that
the last platform they adopted
opposed both a state income and
general sales tax. At the same
time, the governor said, the plat-
form obligates a march toward
improvement in the school system
including the colleges, "financed
with state and local money rather
than general aid from the national
government.”
Daniel said there is also a press-
ing need for better law enforce-
ment including improvements in
the criminal laws and criminal
court procedures to help stop the
rapid increase in crime.
“To aid the material develop-
ment of Texas, we must also
adequately finance the state indus-
trial commission's program for
attracting new industries, and con-
tinue to improve the water
development program,” Daniel
said.
crats are in the midst of an era ------ —
of unity unmatched in recent poll- and American press reports about
included a "hagi-pipe" and a plas-
tic bag into which a person suf-
fering from muscle cramps sticks
his head.
The "hagi pipe,” made in Japan
at a cost of six cents, was offered
for sale at 32.40. Made of bamboo
with a mouthpiece on one end, it
carried this claim: “Gospel to all
smokers, hagi pipe to prevent
lung cancer from smoking.”
The directions for the plastic
bag, which sold for a dollar, told
the user to “stick your head town
in the bag and exhale into it, and
then breathe back your own
breath." After doing that five
times, the cramps were supposed
to disappear.
DROP OF BLOOD
Another form of “medical
hocus - pocus" is long - distance
diagnosis and treatment of ail-
ments. The patient sends in a drop
of blood on a* blotter and gets a
reply telling him what to do. One
skeptical person sent in the blood
from a rooster. The long-distance
diagnosis was that the patient had
“malaria and gonorrhea.”
Nutritional quackery, Parrick
estimated, costs an estimated 16
million Americans more than 500
million dollars annually.
It involves promotion of “spec-
ial” or “secret" formulas includ-
ing such ingredients as black-
strap molasses, seaweed, or al-
falfa. The makers claim that if
the formulas are used properly
they would cure or prevent cancer
or graying hair. Some of the form-
ulas sold for as much as $200 a
year per person.
“Medical quackery is big busi-
ness,” Larrick informed the com-
mittee, with an estimated 250 mil-
lion dollars a year going into the
pockets of the quacks.
$198 VITAMINS
One company, he said, sold
vitamins on a yearly basis at a
cost of 3198 per person and grossed
25 million dollars a year. Its pro-
duct was supposed to be “good for
everything from cancer to steri-
lity.”
Not long ago, Larrick said, an
estimated 4,000 people paid 319.50
each for a little battery device to
administer shocks. The gadget
was supposed to be “helpful for
goiter, kidney trouble, heart pain,
broken bones, childbirth, paralysis
and deafness."
ed in an abortive attempt to
assassinate ex-President Ful-
gencio Batista three years
ago.
Castro’s reference to his fight-
ing force appeared in reaction to
a recent New York Times report
that Cuba spent 120 million dol-
lars In foreign exchange for arms
last 'year.
"If we buy arms, it is the fault
of aggressors and their allies,"
he said. “Without enemies there
would be no need for arms which
we need to defend ourselves. We
don't obtain arms to attack any-
one.”
Then, with marked bitterness,
he struck out at “economic
! persons to Flow for emergency
I treatment — one of whom was
; admitted for further treatment.
Roy Turner, 14, also of 1400 W.
Oak, was in good condition this
morning.
Police said Penhallow attempted
to pass an auto driven by Eddie
McKay of 725 Woodland. McKay
was attempting to turn left from
: Oak onto Piner. He saw Penhal-
low attempting to pass and didn’t
make the turn, police said.
Penhallow’s auto went off the
street and hit the light pole.
Penhallow and Linda Holland, a
passenger in the car, were treat-
ed and released at Flow. Penhal-
low was ticketed for attempting
to pass at an intersection.
Saturday James L. Penton of
1015 Greenwood was injured slight-
ly when his car collided with one
driven by Horace Talley McGuffin
of 8130 Hillcrest at University
Drive (Highway 24) and Bell Ave-
nue.
A newly installed signal light
controls traffic at the intersection.
Police said Penton was going
north on Bell and McGuffin was
driving east on University Drive.
McGuffin was ticketed for run- i
ning a red light. Piner wasn't ad- l
mitted to a hospital.
BALE OF HAY
A bale of hay caused a minor
accident near the Denton-Collin
County line Sunday.
Highway Patrolman John Par- j
sons said a hay truck, driven by
Perfecto Lopez of McKinney was
going east on the highway when
a bale of hay fell from the truck.
Loyd Clark of Keller, driving
a station wagon, was traveling
west and met the truck just as
the bale of hay fell.
Clark's auto hit the hay bale
and knocked it into a car dnven
by Paul Unger of Frisco. Unger
was going cast on 24. ।
Penalty Item
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Eisenhower administration urged
House support today for a civil
rights penalty provision which the
Senate has cut from its own bill.
Atty. Gen. William P. Rogers
said “it is of the utmost impor-
tance" that Congress authorize
fines and prison sentences against
persons who willfully ues force or
threats of force to interfere with
court-ordered school integration.
The Senate last week eliminated
such a provision after first amend-
ing it to apply to interference
with federal court orders in labor
and other disputes as well as
school integration.
Although the Senate is starting
a fifth week of debate on its own
bill, its leaders still are counting
on eventual passage of whatever
measure the House passes.
The penalty provision still is in
the House bill, but Rep. Edwin
E. Ellis (D-La) said an amenl-
inent will be offered to extend its
scope to other kinds of cases as
the Senate voted to do.
Rogers sent his new request in
the form of a letter Sunday night
to Rep. William M. McCulloch
(R-Ohio), who has fought the senate
action.
"Court orders in the school
cases will be enforced,” Rogers
wrote, “and the interests of the
nation' require that it be done in
an orderly manner—without mob
violence and without the necessity
of using, federal troops.”
He saidthe section "has as one
of its speciffic~purposes -preventing
a recurrence of what happened in
Little Rock, Ark., in 1957.” Fed-
eral troops were sent to Little
Rock then to quell mob violence
which accompanied the entry of
nine Negro students into Little
Rock’s Central High School.

TO TEXANS
AUSTIN (AP)—Gov. Price Dan-
iel urged Texas Democrats today
to remember that they still face
many unsolved state problems in-
cluding education financing and
crime control.
He told the State Democratic
Executive Committee that while
the major interest centers this
year on national politics, “There
are still battles to be won here at
home for the welfare of the people
of Texas and their state and local
governments.”
The committee met to ratify the
selection of Austin formally as the
site for the June 14 state conven-
tion. Dallas is seeking the Sept.
30 state party convention.
The committee also honored
Mrs. H. H. Weinert of Seguin, for-
mer national committeewoman,
for her many years of service to
the Democratic Party.
POLL TAX
A plan to ask Texas voters to
say whether they want the poll
tax abolished as a balloting re-
quirement may be pushed during
the session. Leaders of an anti-
poll tax drive considered asking
the state leaden to put the pro-
position on the May 7 primary
ballot in a referendum of party
voters.

Jury Fuss
Almost Went
To Violence
LOS ANGELES (AP)—Wrangl-
ing by jurors in the Finch murder
trail almost erupted into violence
as the seven women and five men
deliberated to a bitter, exhausting
deadlock.
This was the report today of
two members of the panel—one a
woman who said that at one point
a male juror threatened to throw
her her out a window of the
tocked jury room.
The jury was dismissed Satur-
day after failing to agree whether
Dr. R. Bernard Finch, 42, and
his mistress, Carole Tregoff, 23,
had plotted and killed with a bul-
let-in-the-back the doctor’s es-
tranged wife, Barbara Jean Finch.
The wealthy surgeon and his
onetime receptionist broke into
sobs when the jurors announced
they were deadlocked. They face
another trial. A date will be set
Thursday.
While all seemed outwardly
serene during the eight davs of
deliberations, reports of shouts,
insults and near-violence came
from two jurors—Louis Werner
and Genevieve Lang.
Mrs. Lang, 34, a secretary, said
a male juror turned the locked
jury robm into a panic Friday
when he shouted at her: "I'm go-

some time. Raiders said they
found several marijuana cigaret-
tes and a quantity of loose mari-
juana.
Baker, 39, said that he didst
even smoke tobacco. AH those ar-
rested—four men, four woman-
denied the charges. They were
booked on suspicion of possession
of marijuana and lewd vagrancy,
a morals count.
The eight were later freed on
$1,050 hail each. Among those ar-
rested was actress Lola Dewitt,
jured about 6:20 this morning
when rain-slick highways caused
a two car collision north of Pilot
Point on State Highway J0.
Mrs. Dahlia Pierce and Mrs.
Grace Killer, both of Pilot Point,
and Jewell Wesley Cundiff of Tio-
ga were taken to Flow Memorial
Hospital for treatment and later
released.
Highway Patrolman D. T. Black
said Mrs. Pierce lost control of
her auto on the slick highway. The
car started sliding sideways down
the highway, he said, and the auto
driven by Cundiff hit Mrs. Pierce’s
car. Mrs. Killer was passenger in
Pierce auto.
Shortly before minight Saturday
three NTSC students got credit for
possibly saving the life of another
NTSC student.
A car driven by Henry Leonard,
22, of 205 Avenue F hit a light
pole, overturned and caught fire
at Welch and West Hickory Streets
about 11:38 p.m.
Leonard was pulled from the
burning wreckage by passersby

camore, Danny Martin and Donald

WASHINGTON (AP)—Have you
ever tried turtle oil to iron out
your wrinkles, used royal jelly to
cure anything that ails you or
applied an electric shock to mend
broken bones?
If you have, you may be among
♦he millions of Americans who
shell out close to a billion dollars
a year to medical and nutritional
quacks.
The Food and Drug Administra-
tion is conducting a running war
against “literally thousands of
medical quacks” and wants Con-
gress to put up more money to
finance the fight.
George P. Larrick, head of the
agency created to police the food
and drug business, recently out-
lined his problems to a House Ap-
propriations subcommittee which
published his testimony today.
