Defense Attempts
To Show Sheppard
Aided Staying Probe

CLEVELAND, Nov. 13.-How
we'll did DR.. Samuel H. Sheppard
cooperate with police in their
investigation of his wife's slay-
ing July 4?
The State contends he gave
them very little help, that his
brothers hurried him away to
hospital seclusion, that he re-
fused to take a lie detector test
and that he later was reticent
under police questioning.
Through one of the States
own witnesses the defense made
a strong effort at DR.. Sheppard's
murder trial yesterday to knock
down that contention.
Witness For State.
The witness was Fred Drenk-
han, a policeman from suburban
Bay Village, where the murder
occurred.
Mr.. Drenkhan had been a good
witness for the State. The chief
defense attorney, William j. Cor
rigan, took over on cross exami-
nation.

Mr.. Corrigan also asked the
witness if DR.. Sheppard hadn't
told him he wanted to help as
much as possible because he was
interested in the apprehension
of the murderer more than any,
thing else in the world"
The patrolman acknowledged
that this was so. also that DR..
Sheppard talked with police the

The 30-year-old defendant is
accused of bludgeoning his wife

DR.. Sheppard claims an unknown
intruder committed the crime.
Mr.. Corrigan questions the
witness for almost four hours
and said he had still further
questions to ask Monday when
the trial resumes.

Government can win bipartisan
support-provided not too much
economy is involved.
BY unanimous vote. the upper
house of Congress dispensed with
the printing of the daily legisla-

of the special session. This item,
Leader Knowland explained, was
costing the Government $92.14

Senator Knowland solemnly
said that he and Minority Leader
Lyndon Johnson had agreed that
since there was no legislation in
this special session there was no
need for legislative calendar.
But, he continued, under a law
passed in 1880, the calendar must

Nonparfisan Reform
OF Security Program

The Governments security
program needs a complete and
nonpartisan overhaul. James A.
Campbell, national president Of
the American Federation of Gov

today.
Such an overhaul, he said,
should be for the purpose of
restoring the program to its
original intention of protecting
the security Of the country and
the reputation of Government
employees.
/. Hits Partisan Statistics.
Pointing out that Government
must guard against infiltration
by any subversive group, Mr..
Campbell vigorously protested
"the manner in which the So
called security program is oper-
ating today" He said he wanted
to protest even more vigorously
''the misuse for partisan pur-
poses of the almost meaningless
handful of statistics on the Sc
curity program"

AFGE head said, with a pro-
posal by the American Assembly
"a distinguished gathering of
leaders in business. labor. edu-
cation and Government at CO.

be appointed to review the Gov
ernment's security program and
take the issue out of partisan
politics.
Wants Employees Represented.
"We would hope that such a
committee include representa-
tives of Government employees,
the group that has been most
damaged by the weakness of
the present program.
And we further suggest that,
pending such revision, the Civil
Service Commission limit its
statistics on security removals
to those cases where persons
were actually charged under the
procedures of the security pro-
gram.
1T is grossly misleading to in
clude those cases in which en-
ployes were dismissed under
normal civil service procedures
for misdeeds for which employees
have always been subject to dis
missal. but without being tarred
