Hospital Dispute
Grows as Valley
'Men Assail Poage
MCALLEN, Oct. XC—UP—T h e
controversy over moving some 900
tuberculosis patients from Weaver
Baker Memorial hospital at Mis-
sion grew in intensity Thursday as
businessmen from three South Tex-
as communities assailed Rep. Rob-
ert Poage of Waco.
Cov. Allan Shivers has proposed
that the patients be moved to Mc-
Closkey hospital at Temple next
year when Moore Field, where Ba-
ker hospital is located, is reacti-
vated by the Air Forco.
The suggestion drew strong criti-
cism from Temple civic and vet-
erans groups, who said the patients
would overcrowd McCloskey.
Poage joined in the attack, declar-
ing Lower Rio Grande interests
wanted the field reactivated for
business reasons.
Wednesday Mayor I.ogan Duncan
of Mission called Poage's state-
Jfiient a "damn lie."
At the same time, the Tri-Cities
Reactivation Committee, composed
of businessmen from McAllen, Mis-
sion and Edinburg, issued a state-
ment saying the reactivation of
Moore Field would save the federal
government $23 million.
The committee said: "II is de-
plorable when a congressman seeks
to prevent sick people from 53
counties from being hospitalized be-
cause business interests of his con-
Kituents object."
The committee said Poage was
"quite obviously" impelled by bus-
iness interests which did not want
to have the patients, all Latin
Americans, in Temple.
Mayor Angus McLeod of McAllen
said: "There is a swelling tide ot
resentment of the Latin American5
from Temple that the residents
there are objecting to patients be-
cause they would be Latin Ameri-
cans.

Murray Garsson's
Wife Gets Divorce
MEXICO CITY, Oct. 16—UP—
Mrs. Murray Garsson has obtained
a Mexican divorce from her World
War II munitions maker husband
who was convicted of conspiracy to
defraud the government.
Mrs. Ruth Garsson, 32, told news-
men Wednesday night she "obtain-
ed a divorce by mutual agree-
ment."
"I have remained loyal to him
and to his brother, Dr. Henry Gars-
son, throughout their great trouble
because I knew they were victims
of a conspiracy by headline-hunt-
ing politicians who ignored the
great intentions and fine contribu-
tions they gave to the war effort
in behalf of our country," she said.
"I worked faithfully to help them
in those dark days and I hope
they live long enough to enjoy their
complete vindication in the eyes of
the law and in the hearts of their
countrymen."
Garsson and his brother were
convicted with former Rep. Andrew
J. May (D-Ky.) of conspiring to de-
fraud the government on war con-
tracts.
During World War II the Gars-
son brothers built up a $75 million
munitions business. They were con-
victed of offering May $53,000 in
bribes to use his influence as head
of the House Military Affairs com-
mittee to aid their business.
Garsson was released from pris-
on in July, 1951 after serving 18
months. A week later Mrs. Gars-
son took an overdose of sleeping
tablets at their Fifth Avenue apart-
ment .
Red Plot To Kill
U. S. Ambassador
Foiled at Saigon
SAIGON, Indo-China. Oct. 16—
UP—Vietnam security agents re-
ported Thursday they foiled a Com-
munist assassination plot against
U.S. Ambassador Donald R. Heath.
Agents of the Vietnam Surete
National. Indo-Chinese equivalent
of the FBI, raided three under-
ground hideouts in a suburb of
Saigon and uncovered documents
giving a detailed plan of the plot
against the 58-ycar-old Heath, of-
ficials said.
The raiders, acting on a tip from
an unidentified source, also seized
two Sten guns, nine homemade
grenades and a revolver.
At least two men were arrested.
One was described by security
agents as political commissar of
the Communist-led Viet Minh reb-
els and ringleader of the plot.
Previous attempts have been
made on Heath's life since his
assignment to this uneasy capital
as minister to the Associated States
of Indo-China on June 29. 1950.
He also has received death threats
in letters.
Italian Catholics
Oppose Missions Of
■Protestant Groups
ROME. Oct. IB —UP—The pow-
erful Italian Catholic Action organ
"Quotidiano" said Thursday Prot-
estant missionary work in Italy
was offensive to the country's his-
tory. to Catholicism and to Italian
Catholics.
"We cannot but point out that
Protestant missionary work in a
country like ours, is an offense
to its history of the past of the
present and of the future, to Cath-
olicism as such and to all those
who profess it," the newspaper
said.
The Catholic Action's wrath was
directed mainly against the Church
of Christ, which recently has been
barred from conducting services
in Rome by the government.
The newspaper said the activities
of "the so-called Churchcs of
Christ" practiced in pagan or non-
Christian lands would be under-
stood, but to "practice it in Italy,
.t hurts us and it further disin-
tegrates Christianity."
Dodge Announces
Some Price Cuts
DETROIT, Oct. 16 — UP—Dodge
announced price cuts on half
of its forthcoming 1953 automobiles
Wednesday in a move unpreeented
in the passenger car industry since
World War II.
The actual price reductions, more
than five per cent on one model,
will be announced when the new
line of cars is introduced Oct. 23.
It will be the first time in more
than seven years that a major auto
producer has brought out a com-
pletely restyled car with lower
price tags.
Industry observers believe the
Chrysler Corp. division move may
be a prelude for similar action by
other makers when they unveil new
models. Kaiser-Frazer Tuesday an-
nounced cuts on its 1953 models
average $15.70.
There will be 10 models in the
new Dodge line half of them power
ed by a brand new V-8 engine
Prices on some of the new V-8's vvil
be lower than current six-cylindei
models.

New Communist
Message Provides
No Fresh Ideas
TOKYO. Oct. 16 —UP—United
Nations Commander Gen. Mark
Clark received a letler Thursday
from the top Communist generals
in Korea, but the UN said it offered
"no new or constructive propos-
als" towards achieving an armis-
tice.
The letter was signed by Kim II
Sung, supreme commander of the
North Korean People's Army, and
Peng Teh huai. commander of the
Chinese People's Volunteers in Ko-
rea.
The UN in a brief announcement,
said the letter "repeated at great
length" previous propaganda state-
ments made by the Communists.
Clark is studying the letter be-
fore making a reply, the UN re-
ported.
The UN did not disclose how the
leter was forward to Clark. How-
ever, it was presumed Communist
liaison officers handed it over to
UN officers at a meeting in Pan-
munjom, Korea, earlier Thursday.
Kim and Peng have on past oc-
casions sent letters to the Allied
commanders.
In all probability, Thursday's let-
ter accused the United Nations of
"breaking off" the armistice talks
at Panmunjom and repeated Com-
munist demands for the forced re-
turn of all Communist prisoners
of war.
