In Viet Nam Army
SAIGON, Viet Nam, Dec. 13 (W)—Gen. Nguyen Van Vy, new
inspector general of Viet• Nam's young-national army, said today he
personally is opposed to reducing the army's size.
President Eisenhower's specia
lins, is reliably reported to favor
strength, which Vy placed at 220,-
000, to a streamlined, hard-hit
thig force of 90,000.
' "Personally—and I emphasize
that this is a personal opinion un
til the government has given its
official views—l am against re
ducing the size of the army," Vy
said in an interview. "We should
maintain it at its present level,
and make it more efficient'

made a few minutes after he and
Gen. Le Van Ty had taken over
as inspector general and chief of
staff, respectively, in a simple
ceremony at military headquar
ters. Ty was present at the con
versation and nodded agreement.
"The decision to increase or
decrease the army should be
made by Viet Nam. as a sovereign
state without outside influence,"
continued Vy, who had been act
ing chief of staff for several
weeks.
The 38-year-old parachute
trooper• declared the Communist
dominated Vietminh, who hold
the North, are strengthening their
army. He said the Vietminh have

Garrett Linked
With Murder
Of Successor
GALVESTON. Tex., Dec. 13 (A")
—Alabama's, attorney general, §ll
- Garrett 111, today was linked to
the murder that touched off a
crackdovin or. the honky tonks
and hoodlums of Phenix CitY, Ala.
Sheriff's deputies walked into
John Sealy Hospital -here, hafided
Garrett papers naming him a fiti
tive on a first degree murder in
dictment, and placed him in tech ,
nical arrest in the fatal shooting
of Albert L. Patterson.
Patterson, a vice-crusading at
torney, was - hot in an alley in
Phenix City a few days after he
won the nomination to succeed
Garrett as att ney general.
The shooting caused martial law
to be declared in the. free and
easy little city on the Chattahoo
chee River. Since then, indict
ments have been returned against
749 persons there on charges rang
ing from prostitution and gatrib
ling to murder.
Garrett, Phenix City prosecut
ing attorney Arch Ferrell, and
former sheriff's deputy Albert
Fuller, are charged with niurder
in the Patterson shooting.
Each of the murder indictments
specify that the person 'named
"unlawfully and with malice and,
aforethought killed Albert L. Pat
terson by shdoting him with a
gun."
Alabama has no law that sped-1
fies conspiracy •to commit murder
as a separate crime, but provides
for murder indictments against all
those allegedly involved in such
a case.

Pope's Condition
Treatment Stops
VATICAN CITY, Dec. 13 (2?)—Pope Pius XII, although 'still re
flecting improvement from a near fatal collapse 12 days ago, was
reported somewhat weaker today. He was_having difficulty eating.

Taylor Wins
Tentative Post
HgRSHEY, Pa., Dec. 13 (p)—
Sen. M. Harvey Ta/lor (R-Dau
phin) itinight won tentative Re-
Pill)Utah endorsement for a sixth
- Lain as Senate president pro tern
pore.
The endorsement, announced to
newsmen as "unanimous" actually
was not conclusive. Two Republi
can senators George M. Wade
(Cumberland) and Harold E. Flack
(Luzern) said they withheld their
support of Taylor.
"We refused to be bound by the
caucus action on the Taylor deci
sion," Wade said after a two-hour
caucus of Republican senators
who will sit in the 1955 Legisla
ture.
A defection by either Wade or
Flack when the Senate is organ
ized Jan. 4 could. mean Demo
cratic control of the upper branch.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 (iP)—

ence for Cpl. Edward S. Dicken

nounced today by Guy Emery, a
retired .colonel who served as
Dickenson's civilian counsel in
his court-martial, and later con
firmed by the Army. Emery said
the case would be appealed to the
Civilian U.S. Court of Military
Appeals.
Didkenson is now in an Army
stockade at New Cumberland, Pa.
He is the Craclzer's Neck, Va.,
farm boy who first elected to stay

Antonio Gasbarrini, one of three
medical specialists consulted after
the Pope's collapse Dec. 2, was
called here from his Bologna clinic
and examined the Pope again.
This was called "purely a check
up." After his first examinations,
Gasbarrini prescribed an alkaline
washing of the Pontiff's stomach
and a special diet to build his
strength.
Until today, the Roman Catholic
Church leader had been eating in
creased amounts of food. Hiccups
that harassed him intermittently
since last January ceased after
Gasbarrini's treatment was start
ed.
The Pope's slight weakening
was the first break in his steady
improvement for more than a
week. Vatican associates attrib
uted it to a five-minute speech
recorded Saturday and to extreme
emotion over the consecration yes
terday of Msgr, Giovanni Battista
Montini as archbishop of Milan.
The new archbishop had been
the pontiff's closest colaborator
for years and during the past year
was Vatican prosecretary of state.
The Pope listened by radio to the
consecration ceremony in St. Pet
er's Basilica, closed with his own
recorded words of blessing.
