Turnpike crews had hoped to
open the 175-mile stretch from

Responsibility Laid
To Top Secretaries
BY the Associated Press

The Secretaries of the Army,
Air Force and Navy will be held
personally responsible for any
more "glaring inaccuracies" or
lack of common sense and good
taste in their training manuals.
That word came yesterday
from the boss of the Pentagon,
Secretary of Defense Gates. He
ordered a sweeping review of
all service publications after
several turned up that he said
were inappropriate to military
training"
The Air Force so far has been
the main producer of training
manuals that have raised pub-
lie outcry. One charged that
some testant clergy
men were card-carrying Com
munists and that a large pro-
portion Of those who revised

Bible have been affiliated with

were for enlisted men assigned
to attend the personal wants
of general officers. 1t told them
how to greet guests at the door
Of the generals home, how
to mix drinks, even how to
wash the generals dog and
polish his shoes.

had started its own belated

Congressman Rap
Chessrndn Action
Hit at State
Departments S
Intervention
BY the Associated Press

Chairman Fulbright Of the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee and California's two
Senators have expressed
shocked disapproval over the
State Departments action in
the Caryl Chessman case.
They were joined in denounc-
ing a departmental telegram
to California Gov. Edmund G.
Brown by Senators Allott, Re
publican Of Colorado; Gold
water, Republican of Arizona,
and Representative Johansen,
Republican of Michigan.
The six disapproved mainly
because Gov. Brown gave as a
reason for granting Chessman
a 60-day reprieve from the gas
chamber a wire from Assistant
Secretary Of State Roy E.
Rubottom, jr.. saying that If
CheSsman were executed there
might be demonstrations dur
ing President Eisenhower's
visits to Uruguay and Brazil.
Governor Cites Message
Chessman received his re-
prieve early yesterday, less than
10 hours before he was to die
in the gas chamber for Los
Angeles lovers lane crimes
which included sex depravity.
Gov. Brown cited the Rubottom
wire and his desire for the
State Legislature to do away
with the death penalty as
reasons for his reprieve.
The State Department insists
its only role was to pass along
the word from abroad that the
execution might result in dis
orders during the Presidents
South American tour which
starts Monday.
Senator Fulbright yesterday
said the telegram to Gov.
Brown was very questionable
procedure"
Senator EngIe Agrees
| Senator Engle, Democrat of
California agreed. 1T should
not rest on an international re-
action" he said. In fact, we
could have the reverse of the
Chessman case. in which for
eign demonstrators might de-
mand the execution of some
one subject to our law.
IT'S a very bad precedent.
think justice to an in
dividual, whether it means he
should be acquitted or gassed,
ought to turn on the facts of
the case and the law"
Senator Kuchel, Republican
OF California, called the State
Department action completely
unwarranted." He said, IF
there was any danger, however
slight, to our Chief Executive
in any country included on his
travelling schedule, the simple
answer would be to cancel that
part of his trip"
Senator Allott said the State
Department action was unWar-
ranted interference with the
judicial processes of a State.
Asks Rubottom's Custer
Representative Johansen said
Mr.. Rubottom ought to be fired.
1T is Incredible" he added,
that the United States State
Department should presume
to intervene in in a matter
falling within the responsibility
of California State officials or
the State or Federal judiciary
because of possible mob demon
strations in Uruguay or any
other foreign country"
Senator Fulbright termed it
"a very disturbing develop
ment" if "incipient mobs of
students in Latin American
countries" or elsewhere can in
