WASHINGTON Up - Measures
short of war were being carefully
weighed today by American Off
cials charged with trying to win
freedom for 13 Americans con-
demned to prison by Red China.
With military action apparently
ruled out-President Eisenhower
yesterday pledged every step ''hu-
manly possible within peaceful
means"-these State Department
officials had three principal av-
enues open to them:
/. To protest in ''the strongest
terms possible" as they already
have set out to do, to Red China S
representative at Geneva.
2. To bring pressure ON Com
munist China, as they have in the
,saass, through British and other AL
ned representatives It Peiping, O.
perhaps even through the Rus
SLAMS.
3. To 60 to the United Nations,
as they did with protests against
atrocities in Korea and the shoot
ing down of an American plane.
with demands for a resolution Of
censure.
Public Censor Sought
And while they were at it, these
officials could do their best toward
mobilizing world opinion against
Red China for what the United
States has called the "amoral'' and
outrageous" jailing of innocents
on trumped up charges. Wide
spread public indignation on this
score could hurt Peiping's drive
for diplomatic recognition and a
seat at the u. N.
Red China announced Tuesday
that IL US. airmen and two us.
civilians captured during the Ko-
rean War had been sentenced as
"spies" to prison terms ranging
from 4 years to life. Yesterday
Peiping radio broadcast that these
Is plus five Americans who had
died were among $50 saboteurs
the Chinese Reds said were cap
tured.
Eisenhower said yesterday. the
U. S. government is doing every
thing ''humanly possible within
peaceful means to get our BOYS
back" His assurances were given
to the mother of one of the i'm
prisoned men by White House
Press Secretary James c. Hager-
ty, after she complained Of unsuc-
cessful efforts to reach the Presi-
dent by telephone.

eve derailment of the Santa Fe
Chief on the Mojave Desert last
night.
Most of the injuries were minor,
however. Only two were hospital
lied and one put to bed in a mo-
tel here.
There were IS passengers aboard
the train when eight cars jolted
off the tracks, remaining upright,
at a remote scene near Cadiz, five
miles from the nearest highway
and 62 miles west of here.
The first three cars and the en-
gine brought the passengers here,
arriving at 1:20 am. today.
Besides the. three injured, 1S
other passengers remained here
overnight because pullman space
was unavailable for them.
Two Hospitalixed
Those hospitalized were w. J

Shaksup Described
Green said he was In the dining
car when the derailment occurred.
"I was thrown to the floor and Just
lay there until the train stopped, .
he said.
Many Of the passengers on ar
rival here'seemed dazed. or excit-
ed, but there was no hysteria. Sew
eral said as they milled about,
waiting to continue their journey
eastward, that it seemed miracu-
lous that there were no deaths or
serious injuries.
Eighteen hundred feet of track
were torn up, temporarily block
ing the Santa Fe main line.
The Santa Fe said the Chief was
travelling IS to 70 miles an hour
on an uphill grade. Engineer B.A.

Sheppard Trial
Is Delayed By
Thanksgiving
BIZ RICHARD q. SMITH

CLEVELAND R-The prosecu-
ton paused for the Thanksgiving
holiday today in its effort to send
DR.. Samuel H. Sheppard to the
electric chair on a charge of mur-
dering his wife in her bed last
July 4.
For 13 full trial days the state
has paraded its witnesses to the
stand of the small courtroom
where the handsome osteopath
listens intentlE and sometimes
takes notes while the case against
him is constructed.
The trial concludes its sixth
week tomorrow, but the first two
and a half weeks we're occupied
with selection of the jury.
Prosecution Aims
The prosecution has been trying
to do two things:
"a Discredit as invention the de-
fendant's story that bushy
haired prowler invaded his Bay
Village home, rained q savage
blows on the pretty head of his
pregnant wife, knocked him un-
conscious twice when he tried to
help her, then rifled papers in
desks downstairs in a search for
money or narcotics and fled carry
ing the murder weapon with him.
(2) Build up as the motive for
the crime quarrels between DR..
Sheppard, a boyish-looking 30, and
his wife Marilyn, 31-quarrels oc-
casioned by his attentions to other
women, particularly to attractive,
auburn haired Susan Hayes, whose
home is in Rocky River, a suburb
adjacent to Bay Village.
Girl To Testify
The freckle-nosed Miss Hayes, a
A-year-old laboratory technician
who got to know DR.. Sam very
well during their work together in
Bay View Hospital, is to be a star
witness for the state.
The prosecution has promised
her testimony, expected about
Monday, will detail how the de-
fendant talked with her about di-
voce, how they corresponded en-
dearingly and how they shared a
guest room in the home of a friend
of DR.. Sans last March in Los
Angeles.
However, before the focus on the
motive half of its case. the state
has some unfinished business in
its effort to discredit the defend
ants story of marauder and link
Sheppard to the bludgeoning.
When Fridays session opens, the
state is expected to pursue a trail
of blood spots it began following
through the Sheppard house yes
terday when the trial recess at
noon.
Henry Dombrowski, detective
traced the trail of blood spots for
the jury yesterday. He enumer-
ated a total of so spots on stairs
from the murder bedroom to the
basement-brownish spots he said
looked like blood.
