Support Of U. n
BY the Asseeiassd Press

President Eisenhower says he
is confident there will be no
slackening Of American support
for the United Nations.
In a message read for him
by Assistant Secretary Of State
David Key at the first annual
conference of the American As
sociation for the United Nations.
Mr.. Eisenhower said last night
that American vision and lead
ership did much for the U. N.
In its first 10 years. He added:
II am confident that this
leadership, exercised through
the Government and through
responsible private organiza-
tions. will sustain it no less in
the years to come.
1.-The big task we face Is to
prevent war and to maintain and
strengthen the foundations of
peace" he said. "This same pur-
pose is at the heart of the United
Nations charter"
In his own prepared speech.
Mr.. Key strongly defended the
United Nations record In pro-
noting world peace.
He said "the contemptuous re-
fusal" Of the Chinese Com
munists to state their case before
the U. N. seems to us to justify
the continued exclusion of
Chinese Communist representa-
tives from United Nations
bodies"

Defense interviews
Witnesses for Trial
In Patterson Murder
BY the Assssiatsd Press

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Feb. 20.
Defense attorneys were inter-
viewing prospective witnesses to-
day in an attempt to tear down
the States murder case against
former Chief Deputy Sheriff
Albert Fuller.
There was hope for a time that
Fuller's two-week-od trial in
the killing Of vice crusader A. L.
Patterson would resume this
afternoon. but Roderick Beddow.
chief defense counsel, said he
wouldn't be ready until tomor-
row morning.
After the prosecution rested
its case Saturday. presiding
Judge ]. Russell McElroy granted
recess until tomorrow with the
understanding the trail would
reopen today if Mr.. Beddow
could get his witnesses lined up
in time.
Plans 100 Witnesses.
The attorney, one of Alabama's
most successful criminal lawyers,
said he intends to put more than
100 witnesses on the stand in de-
fense Of the 35-year-old Fuller,
who was chief deputy at Phenix
City in the wide-open days of
gambling and racketeering.
Mr.. Patterson, who had been
nominated for attorney general
Of Alabama on a promise to rid
the river town of organized
crime, was shot to death outside
his Phenix City law office last
June 10. The State contends
he was slain to stop him from
cleaning UP the city's vice dens.
Fuller, who already has been
convicted of taking payoff
money to let a bawdy house
operate unmolested, was in
dicated for the murder after a
six-month investigation.
Ex-Prosecutor Charged.
Also charged with the killing
are Arch Farrell, former pros
ecuting attorney at Phenix
City. and former Attorney Cen
eral 81 Garrett. the man Mr..
Patterson would have succeeded
in Office They are awaiting
trial.
Mr.. Beddow estimated it
would take at least two weeks
to present the defense of Fuller,
who claims he was in the county
jail at the time Mr.. Patterson
was murdered half a block
away. Fuller has named wit
nesses who he says were with
him.
But defense attorneys are con-
cerned primarily with trying to
refute the testimony of a sur
prise prosecution witness. Cecil
Padgett. a Phenix City construc-
ton worker who hadn't been
subpoenaed before the trial,
testified Saturday he saw Fuller
and Ferrell at the scene of the
killing Immediately afterward
and that Both men fed.
Previous witnesses had said
they saw the two defendants
hurrying onto intersecting streets
along paths leading from the
area where Mr.. Padgett said he
saw them running.

tive Prime Minister Ichiro Hato-
yama's Democrats won Japan's
biggest election yesterday and
headed toward a new. stronger
administration.
Mr.. Hatoyama. waging an un-
precedented American style
campaign for friendship with
both sides in the East West cold
war. led the Democrats to vic
tories in urban and rural areas
in a nearly 2-to-1 conservative
sweep.
They ended seven years DOM
ination in the House of Repre-
sentatives by the equally con-
servative Liberal Party of for
mer Prime Minister Shigeru
Yoshida.
Liberals Lose 20 Seats.
The Liberals, hurt by charges
of corruption, lost about 70 seats
most of them to the Demo-
Gratis but a few to the Socialists.
This may strengthen the drive
by leftist parties to block re-
armament of Japan.
The Communists, with so can
didates. elected two members.

convenes within two weeks,
party leaders said. He is vir-
tually assured of reelection by

Taketora Ogata. chief of the
beaten Liberals, conceded his
party would back Mr.. Hatoyama
because "the next Prime Minister
should naturally be a member
of the first party" Mr.. Ogata
said the Liberals would nominate
their own candidate, then switch
to the top man after the first
ballot.
The election was a personal
triumph for Mr.. Hatoyafna. The
newspaper Asahi said that for
the fourth time in his life ne won
the highest personal vote in q
general election.
