m. on the question of whether the first hearing on Rigg's ouster should be before! the state corrections commissioner or in district court. Rigg has been suspended by Corrections Commissioner Will C. Turnbladh who had once set! in motion procedures for a formal hearing which could have led to Rigg's outright ouster. Segal secured a district court ruling preventing hearing from being held before Turn- bladh but the state then countered with a supreme court writ prohibiting the matter from going into district Tuesday's oral arguments will be on the question of whether the supreme court order should be made effect, the question is whether the ouster hearing will be held before Turnbladh.

Main burden of a brief filed on behalf of Rigg is that Turn- biadh exhausted his jurisdiction in the case when he instituted a 15-day suspension of Rigg in the fuss over Rigg's extra-heavy withdrawals of food in mid-1959. The brief, filed Saturday, says: "The undisputed fact is that the warden agreed to the i5-day suspension imposed upon him despite the fact that he had 'serious misgivings' about accepting Mosf of World's Leaders in Hew York Russ Propaganda Scorned in U.

Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold made a surprise appearance in the General Assembly as: the session opened, and declared that not his future but that of the United Nations is at stake in Khrushchev's attacks on him. Khrushchev's proposals -took on the look of ultimatum when he demanded that his terms be met or the cold war would get colder. Diefenbaker accused Khrushchev of giving lip service to. the United Nations "which would be destroyed by his proposal." He rejected as unjust the Soviet'at- tacks on the secretary-general, and called those attacks part of "a transparent plan to undermine the prestige and authority I of the United Nations." In a vigorous counterattack Diefenbaker poured scorn on Khrushchev's proposal to grant immediate independence to all dependent areas. He challenged Khrushchev to permit free, elections in areas now under Soviet control.

For the Communists, Czechoslovakia's President Antonin Novotny endorsed Khrushchev's proposal to substitute a three-member commission for the secretary- general's organization, which he said would be "in full harmony with the democratic principles upon which the U.

Two bul-1 Iet5 ha'd entered his neck and three went into the skull. Scott theorized the slayer might have been a gambler who held a grudge against Reznick. Reznick was sentenced 'in 1954 to Stillwater Prison on a burglary- charge and was paroled in 1958. He was a nephew of Morris (Mummy) Reznick, now serving a term at Stillwater for the 1959 slaying of Lewis Bix of Minneapolis. No charges have been filed, and no one has been held in con nection with the slaying.

Numerous persons, however, have been questioned. Among them was Yiddy Bloom, brother of Isadore (Kid Cann) Blumenfeld. Reznichfs body was discovered by Thomas Bell, a bus driver. Bell stopped his bus behind the car parked in a dark area'ol the park, honked the horn and got no response. He investigated and found the bloodstained body.

Flying Saucer Group Is Go-Between 'MARTIAN HAS WARNING FOR EARTHMEN LONDON A spokesman for the British Flying Saucer Society said today that before the Soviets or anyone else try to put a man on a planet they'd better get the planet's permission. "We've been informed by the cosmic masters," said William Mayhew in an interview, "that earth men will not be allowed to land on other planets." -Mayhew, a lawyer, and 700 other members of the society have been attending Britain's first National Flying Saucer convention.

During their two-day session in London they said they established contact with a spokesman on Mars through one of their officials. George King. King went into a yogi trance and said a Mar- tian spoke through him. He recorded the message purportedly from Mars. The message apparently directed at the leaders of East and West was broadcast through the convention hall.

The delegates listened in respectful silence as the "master on Mars" said: "Unless much ground is given by both sides Here the spokesman was interrupted by what sounded like a very earthly cough. Delegates were unable to say if the cough was King's or the.
