More Graves
ToBeSought
On Ohio Farm

COSHoCTON, Ohio IN = Central
Ohio authorities, fearful Of what
their search might produc e,
planned today to return to the
farm of former mental patient
which has yielded I 70 bodies in
the past six days.
Last Saturday the body Of Clyde
Patton, a 2S-year-old Frsmo School
teacher and part-timt. auto sales
man was found In ths pIowed fur
rows of field On fhe farm Of
Cletus Reese, So.
Police said Patton had disap-
peared after demonstrating car
to Reese June z.
Reese, a husky, barrelchested
man, was charged with first-de-
gree murder.
Authorities said while they were
questioning him about Patton's
death, Reese told them he killed
another man-Lester Nelick, So, OF
Danville. He later deAied it.
Yesterday Melick's son Harry,
searching for his fathers body,
noticed an unusual contour in the
land about 200 yards from Reese's
house. Sheriffs from Coshocton and
Knox counties dug at the spot. Out
of a shallow grave came the body
mot Of Melick who had been
missing since last Nov. 2S, but Of
another unidentified man.
The head had been cfushed, like
Patton's. {
Taken to the grave TO look At
that body Reese was impassive.
He said nothing on the trip to and
from the county Jail.
Paul Cochran, sheriff Of adjoin-
ing Knox County, said Reese first
was questioned about Melick Satur-
day, told him he killed Melick then
denied It.
At one point, Cochran said, Reese
broke down and told him:
"This has been going on q long
time" He wouldn't say anything
more about it, said Cochran.
Before the body of Patton, father
Of four. was found, Reese refused
to talk. Later, Reese told Kempf
he killed Patton in a fight, the
sheriff said.

there beside him. Then, when

asked us, now, why would you
want to go back to a country
that does things like that?'
HE had a special place to

There were three of us Texans

us decided to stay behind. There
were nine from our camp alto

The day the others moved out

that I could help my people by

becoming a Progressive.
Refused To Inform.
In August, there were a lot Of
reactionaries (prisoners who re-
sisted all Red wooing) being sent
north. The camp officers called
me in and tried to get me to in
form on several of the fellows. I
refused and talked them into
letting several stay back.
The other fellows still held me
in respect because I was sincere
and always kept my Progressive
activities out in the open.
In August, 1851, I dcided to quit
the Progressive movement. I
had been reading books on COM
munism all this time and never
once did I see anything contro-
versial. I decided I was too young
to understand and that I would
wait until I got back to the
United States and learn more
about it.
When told the instructor that
I wanted to quit. they kept me
in d room at headquarters. After
about a week I got lonesome and
asked to go back.
There were several other times
when I got to thinking and quit
the Progressive movement, but
every time they would send me
up to the headquarters. There
was an instructor up there who
used to talk to me about the
class struggle in China. how
American Intervention had in

things like that.

Selection Of Premier
To Succeed PeIIa
Awaited in Italy
BY the Assoeiosed Press

ROME. Jan. 8. President
Luigi Einaudi finished all pre-
hminaries to the naming of a
new premier today. He is ex-
pected to announce his selection
tomorrow or Monday.
Premier Giuseppe Pella re-
signed Tuesday after five months
in Office. Mr.. Einaudi began
formal talks with political lead
ers Thursday and held the last
today.
He must decide who has the
best chance of holding together
a government in the stresses of a
disunited and confused Italian
parliament. Almost certainly the
man will come from the middle
road, pro-Western C-hristia n
Democrat party. whose feuding
caused Mr. Pella to quit.
Still Strongest Party.
Weakened by the June elec-
tions. the Christian Democrats
still are the strongest party in
Italy, although they need help
from minor center parties or
Monarchists to control Parlia-
ment.
Latest indications were that:
/. Mr.. Pella may be offered the
premiership again-or. more for
maly. Mr. Einaudi may refuse to
accept his resignation. Mr.. Pella
Is serving as caretaker premier.
/ 2. Mr.. Einaudi may ask a
Christian Democrat who leans
more to the left to take the job,
hoping that such a man could
re-establiSh the four-party al
lance welded by Alcide de
Gasperi in his eight years as
premier.
Ostensibly Mr. Pella offered his
resignation because he and the
party did not agree on the
naming of an agriculture MN
lister. The basic issue, however,
was whether a center COVE en-
ment should rely on support of
right wing MonarcfistS, as Mr..
Pella had done.
Others Win Backing.
If another man is named, the
choice probably will fall on In
terror Minister Amintore Fam
FAM, chamber president Giovanni
Gronchi or eX-Deputy Premier
Attilio Piccioni. The directors of
the Christian Democrats are
backing Mr.. Fanfani. who could
be expected to swing the govern
ment slightly to the left but
who is pro- Western and backer
of European unity.

HAVANA, Cuba, Jan. 9.-The

The question of reciprocal

Chinese attacked our company.
We were one of the first outfits
to be hit by the Chinese. We
didn't even know that they came
into the war.
We were five days wandering
around up there with nothing to
eat or drink. We had a lot of
close calls.
On the fifth day we were at
the base of a mountain when
the Chinese walked right up on
us. We gave them quite a fire
battle for half an hour.
