As Rumors Of Attack
On COSTA Rica Grow
sy n. A.soeiai.d Press

Government officials said last
night the United States is flying
around six jet fighter planes
to Panama immediately, as a
peace-keeping move, to be ready
in case of an armed attack on
neighboring Costa Rica.
The swift United States action
was taken amid rapidly in
creasing rumors |of a plot to
overthrow Costa Rican Presi-
dent Jose Figueres.
The officials, who requested
anonymity, said the planes are
being sent as a precautionary
move" with the hope th&t this
will demonstrate the, United
States intends to live up to its
treaty commitments to keep
hemisphere peace and might
dissuade any would-be attackers.
The planes are expected to
arrive in Panama over the week
end. They will be stationed at
United States Air Force fields in
the Canal Zone-about $50 to
800 miles from the Costa Rican
capital of San Jose.
Under the Rio Mutual Defense

q American republics partici-
pate in the peace-keeping pact.
Several weeks ago. it was
disclosed, the United States gave
assurances to Costa Rica that
it stands ready at all times to
fulfill its Rio commitments. This
was done in response to a
specific inquiry by Costa Rican
Ambassador Antonio Facio.
Rumors of the plot to over
throw Figueres vary widely in

Sheppard Case Jury
Still DeadIocked
On lis Fourth Day

CLEVELAND, Dec. 20.-Still
deadlocked, jurors in the Shep-

hours of conferences behind
them. and had been sequestered
IA hours since last Friday morn
ing.
Judge Edward Blythin made no
effort to determine, by asking
the foreman. whether there is
now any possibility of agreement.
He merely made his usual set
speech. cat'tioning them not to
discuss the case while they are
out of the courtroom.
The judge said he would confer
with lawyers on both sides today
I if the jury still failed to reach
a verdict. He said he had not
made up his mind, beyond that,
what to do.
He denied quoted reports that
he expected something today"
DR.. Samuel Sheppard. the ac-
cuSed man, was brought into
court at noon. He looked rested,
but the signs of strain were still
apparent in his face. The State
contends the 30-year-old osteo-
path killed his wife. Marilyn, 81.
AS the possibility of a "hung
jury" grew, Assistant Prosecutor
Thomas Parrino said there is no
doubt that DR.. Sheppard will be
tried a second time.
He said the date could not be
scheduled until after January 3
at the next term of the Grim
inal Court. Because of a crowded
calendar, Mr. Parrino said, it
might not be possible to start
the retrial until the early spring.
If the jurors remain dead
locked today, Judge Blythin can
ask the foreman how the jurors
stand, and if he is told there is
no hope of agreement, he can
discharge them.
This would necessitate another
long and expensive trial.

In Red GRIPPE Over
Propaganda Balloons
BY james {. Roper

The United States, with as
tonishing politeness, today re-
jected a Hungarian protest
against propaganda carrying
balloons which Americans have
sent drifting over Communist
Hungary.
A United States note delivered
in Budapest denied the Hun
garian charge that the leaflets
were designed to undermine the
Hungarian government. The
note explained:
"The leaflets in question
merely make suggestions con-
cerning practical means whereby
some admitted shortcomings
may be corrected"
This was in reply to a Hun
garian protest of October Is
which sal dthat the Crusade for
Freedom and Radio Free Eu-
rope were turning loose bal
looms that drifted over Hungary
with seditious propaganda.
U. S. Called Delinquent"
Hungary called the United
States an international de-
linquent" for allowing the bal
looms to be launched from the
western zone of Germany. Hun
gary'S vigorous protest" includ-
ed the demand that the United
States ground the balloons and
call to account" the persons
responsible.
The American reply, keyed to
the same low pressure as the
balloons themselves, conceded
| that the Americans behind the
! balloon campaign had adopted
unusual methods of commune
cation.
The American note continued,
however, that this method had
been developed only because
Hungary tries to thwart normal
communications - even" jam
ming radio broadcasts.
Suggestions Listed.
The American note COM
mented that the United States
Government is at loss to un-
derstand why the Hungarian
government finds repugnant the
balloon leaf1et suggestions that
the Hungarian people be allowed
to rule themselves. have free
speech and assembly, equality
before the law, the right to Or
ganize labor unions, and enough
housing to protect the institu-
tions of marriage and the fam
lily.
"The leaflets in question: the
United States said, merely make
suggestions concerning practical
means whereby some admitted
shortcomings may be corrected
the United States Govern
ment hopes that the day will
come when balloons will no
longer be necessary as means
by which the people of one coun-
try may freely communicate with

Mr.. Volpe has been attempt

to get a foothold to supply power

When Mr.. Volpe was turned

tract was made, he recalled that
