five men jurors she did not see

not swear it contained the re-

She did hear coins ciinking
and felt them in the envelope

Judge Smith said. 1.-THE mere

He said the State was in the
same position as a prosecutor
unable to prove there was a
corpse in a murder case.

there was no other possibility Of

PORTSMOUTH. Ohio, July
21.-Edward T. Beall won a di-
rected verdict Of acquittal to-
day in his embezzlement trial
and said he might try to get his
job back as county manager in
Montgomery County. Md.
Judge Vernon Smith of Scio-
to County Common Pleas Court
ordered the jury to find him
not guilty on grounds the State
had not shown "a crime had
been committed"
Mr.. Beall was charged with
embezziing $738.8l from the
city-operated hospital when he
was Portsmouth's city manager
in 1852.
Judge Smith said the State
must show the missing money
was in Mr.. Beall's possession.
Other Testimony Barred.
Since william H. Harsha, jr.,
the prosecutor, was unable to
meet the courts requirements
he was unable to put into the
record testimony from other
witnesses TO support the charge,
Judge Smith said criminal
charges must be proven without
reason of q doubt. Indictment
does not presume guilt. he said.
He praised the prosecutors
presentation, but added that
evidence cannot be manufac-
tured."
The missing money was from
the hospitals receipts Of Septem-
Der %, 1852.
Testimony brought out that
Mrs. Nell Harris. the hospital
cashier, normally turned daily
receipts over to MIR. Beall.s sec
rotary. Mrs. Nadine Pierce.

cations staff. Senator jackson
said the Democrats will insist
that subcommittee rules be fol-
lowed--that each Mccarthy APP
pointee, to retain permanent
employment. must be confirmed
by q majority Of the seven-mem-
Der subcommittee.
Senator jackson added that
he and his two Democratic col
leagues on the subcommittee
would never act lin an arbitrary
or capricious manner relating

But he said they would insist on
a voice in sraff matters.
The star battle was settled
yesterday with the resignation

Bedell Smith at the closing ses-
sion Of the conference in the
Palace of Nations after other
delegates had taken note Of q
final declaration wrapping up the
various pacts to end the war.
It was taken as clear notice
to the Asian Communists that
the United States intends to pros
coed with its old plans for estab-
lishment Of q security system in
Southeast Asia.
Repeats Earlier Views.
Repeating a declaration made
three days ago that the United
States would not use force to
disturb the agreements, Gen.
Smith said it would regard any
fresh aggression In the Indo-
China tl1eater as seriously
threatening peace and security"
He said the United States would
still seek United Nations super
vision Of elections to be held In
Wet Nam. though the Commu-
nists have rejected such super
vision.
1T1e United States reiterates
its traditional position that peo-
Piles are entitled to determine
their own future and that it will
not join In an arrangement
which would hinder this. = Gen.
Smith told the conference.
He said the United States
shared the hope that the
armistice agreements signed to-
day would permit the three
Associated States, Cambodia,
Laos and Wet Nam, ito play
their part in full independence
and sovereignty, in the peaceful
community Of nations, and will
enable the peoples of that area
to determine their own future"
Won't Join Declaration.
Gen. Smith told the confer
ence the United States was not
prepared to "join in a declaration
by the conference such as is
submitted" The United States.
he said. is resolved to devote its
efforts to the Strengthening Of
peace Sin accordance with the
PRINCIPLES and PURPOSES of the
United Nations"
The final declaration OF the
conference was q three -page
document, listing in Is para
graphs the various agreements
reached here for establishing
peace.
Concerning the partition line
of Wet Nam. roughly along the
18th Parallel, the final declara-
ton said the essential purpose
of the Wet Namese agreement
was ito settle military questions
with a view to ending hostilities,
and the military demarcation
line should not IN any way be
interpreted as constituting a
political or territorial boundary. /"
Confidence was expressed in
the declaration that a political
settlement would be achieved in
Wet Nam in the near future. The
date of the general all-Viet
Namese elections was disclosed
for the first time July, 1856.

added. Is being engineered by

Vote Due Later in Day.
Senator Magnuson took the
floor as the Senate moved to-
ward vote later in the day on
the public VS.. private power dis
pute which has turned the adj
ministration's atomic energy bill
into a road block delaying the
legislative program in the con-
gressional rush for adjourn
ment.
An informal agreement was
reached last night to vote today
on the Administrators proposal
for the Atomic Energy Commits
sion to carry out q private power
contract in the Tennessee Valley
area.
Majority Leader Knowland
threatened to keep the Senate
in session all night il necessary
to dispose of the atomic energy
legislation. As the Senate met
at 10 am. two hours earlier than
usual, cots and blankets were
rolled out in the event the ses-
sion should run through the
night. =
Senator Magnuson said the
detectives Of the private power
campaign to destroy the Govern
ment's public power program
were evident as basis for the
support Of the Republican can
didates in the last Presidential
campaign. He charged that Gen.
Eisenhower, as well as former
President Hoover, .'are con-
sciously or unconsciously vehicles
for this propaganda"

ference that he did not feel the
Communists want war now, al
though they viii try everything
short Of war.
Gen. Eisenhower's formal
statement on the Indo-C China
settlement included a warning
that ANY renewal Of Communist
aggression would be viewed by
us as q matter of grave con-
Germ"
The Presidents statement was
the first official United States
reaction to the Geneva agree
ment which allows Communists
to retain control over Northern
Wet Nam, including eventually
the Hanoi Haiphong delta.
Hopes for Sound Peace.
Gen. Eisenhower said he hoped
the agreement. although falling
short of American desires, will
lead to the establishment of
peace consistent with the rights
and needs Of the countries con-
cerned."
Asked to comment on the fact
that for the first time in nearly
two decades the world is at
peace, the President said that
he never had felt, except through
satellite excursions, that the
Communist world wants war at
this time.
He said he didn't believe that
they were willing to challenge us
to war of exhaustion.
They will, however. try every-
thing they can through coups
d'etat, subversion and weIl-f1-
nanced conspiracy. he added.
II one good thing comes out
OF the situation in Southeast
Asia. the President continued, it
may be in getting the free world
to look the facts in the face. He
said we cannot exist in this
world If we don't find con-
certed, positive plan to keep the
free nations bound together so
they will not give up. He said he
thought we could do that.

use such words.
He repeated that this agree
ment is not what the United
States wanted. But. he added.
unless he could think of some-
thing better that we could or
would have done, he did not
want to criticize.
Gen. Eisenhower asked to be
excused from answering most
questions about the Geneva con-
ference, which, he noted, still is
in delicate negotiations over
Cambodia.
But prepared statement
which he read at the outset of
the conference emphasized that
the United States IVES not a belli-
gerent in the war and that there
fore does not have primary
responsibility for the settlement.
Accordingly" he said, 1.-THE
United States has not itself been
party to or bound by the de-
cisions taken by the conference,
but it is our hope that it will
lead to the establishment of
peace consistent with the rights
and needs of the countries con-
cerned.
The agreement contains fea-
lures which we do not like. but
a great deal depends on how
they are practiced."
