Martha Shocked Over Sex Suit Denies Romance With Bodyguard MIAMI BEACH, April 29-(EVS) An attorney for Comedien ne Martha Raye said today Miss Raye was "completely shocked" by an alienation of affection suit filed against her by a West Port, Policeman's wife. The attorney. Miss Shirley Woolf, denied her client had "any romantic alliance" with 29-year-old Robert O'Shea, who once served as Miss Raye's body guard. O'Shea's wife, Barbara Ann, mother of a 14-day-old child, filed a $50,000 suit against Miss Raye yesterday charging the comedienne with "captivating" her husband by showering him with "expensive gifts." Miss Woolf explained that O'Shea was one of four West Port policemen assigned to guard Miss Raye in December, 1955, when her ex- husband allegedly threatened her. Miss Woolf said the veteran stage and TV performer, "being the generous person she is," threw a Christmas party for her employees and their wives, at which she passed out gifts.

Miss Raye's manager, Nick Con-dos, is seriously ill in St. Francis hospital at Miami Beach. Miss Woolf, contacted while visiting Condos, issued a statement saying: "Miss Raye is completely shock ed at this totally unexpected action. She has never had any romantic alliance with O'Shea. Mr.

Condos, her manager, hired four bodyguards to protect her some time in December and Mr. O'Shea was one of the bodyguards. She has never had any romance with any of the employes." It would have The channel four feet and in Cashmere. degrees in 24 hours at Russell, Kan. Rapid City, S.

violence flared alone the Gaza strip today as Dag Hammarsk-jold met with Egyptian leaders in a renewed effort to bring a more permanent peace to the troubled Middle East. Word of the latest Gaza in cidents, which broke a ceasefire that Hammarskiold personally negotiated April 18, reached the United Nations secretary-general this afternoon following "full team" sessions between EsvDt- ian and U. N. negotiators at the foreign ministry. A U.

N. spokesman said Ham- marskjold had "no comment" on the incidents, but a source close to the peace mission said the U. N. chieftain considered the sporadic flareups inevitable until both sides have firmly agreed to his latest series of proposals. The source said Hammarskjold hopes these proposals will dampen down any possible new border flareups.

Egyptian headquarters at Gaza city announced that a mounted Israeli policeman, whom they claim carried hand grenades, was killed after crossing the Gaza truce line this morning. Accord ing to the sources, the policeman fired several shots at Arab farmers in "clear violation" of the cease-fire agreement. Hammarskjold listened patient ly today to arguments by Egyptian Foreign Minister Fawzy that his latest proposals to ease border tension don't go far enough. The U. N.

peace envoy then held an evening conference with Premier Gamal Abdel Nasser. Another Israeli died and two others were wounded when their vehicle struck what was termed a "freshly planted" Egyptian land mine five miles east of the southern tip of the strip as both sides exchanged charges of infiltration across the truce line. Hammarskjold is expected to go to Jerusalem tomorrow or Tuesday for further talks with Israeli leaders. Hunt Girl's Hubby After Two Are Shot CHICAGO, April 29 UV-A man who was sentenced to jail for six months in 1954 for carrying a pistol with which he said he intended to kill his estranged wife, was sought after she and an escort were shot last night. Mrs.

Eileen Vaglica, 21, was critically wounded in the head. Her companion, Raymond Baldwin, 23, was shot in the left leg. Baldwin told police the shots were fired by John Vaglica, 29, an ex-convict, as Baldwin and Mrs. Vaglica, who now uses her maiden name, Cecconi, alighted from a car at the home of friends. Baldwin said Vaglica trailed the couple in another auto from which he fired.

Vaglica, arrested carrying a weapon in November 1954, was examined by a court psychiatrist after he testified that he had intended to kill his wife with the pistol. He was sentenced Dec. 8, 1954, to six months in jail on a concealed weapon charge. Police said Vaglica had served a prison term for burglary and auto theft, and a six-month jail term on a rape charge. on a target on another continent.

They would travel at many times the speed of sound. Maj. Gen. Brenard A. Schrei-ver, who is in direct charge of the long-range missile program, said the big job now is that of engineering and putting together the complex system required to operate accurate missiles.

In this connection it was recalled that Gen. Nathan F. Twining, the Air Force chief of staff, said last Wednesday that it will be "a long time" until the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile is "reliable enough to replace other weapons systems." Twining spoke two days after the Soviet Communist party chief, Nikita JChrushchev, told an audience in England that Russia soon missile. The Air Force testimoy made public today contained an acknowledgment that intelligence reports of Russian progress in long-range bombers and missiles had prompted a speedup in development and production of advanced defensive missiles. BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS In a large portion of the nation Sunday, the weather was just plain miserable.

It was sharply colder in the northern Midwest, and snowfall ranged from 2 to 8 inches on the Northern Plains even to 15 inches at Windom, and Luverne, Minn. Leaden and leaking skies extend ed from coast to coast. Thunderstorms were especially heavy from Oklahoma northeastward through the Mississippi and Ohio valleys. The Weather Bureau withdrew an early morning tornado advisory for Indiana and Ohio, but later reinstated the alert for northeast ern Ohio. During the night a tornado hit near Farmingon, after a series of minor twisters in Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska Saturday.

No casualties were reported and damage was relatively minor. The violent thunderstorm activi ty was expected to spread into the Middles Atlantic states and New England, and heavy snow warnings were issued for Wisconsin and Michigan. Only in the South and Southwest was the weather seasonally warm and pleasantly dry, and only in the Southwest were skies generally clear. Phenomenal temperature falls accompained the drift of cold air from Canada over the central Soviets To Return Germans, Is Promise MOSCOW, April 29 (a The So viet Union promised today it would not prevent the return home of any Germans still on Soviet territory who want to go to West Germany. A note from the Foreign Minis try to the West German government said Soviet authorities were checking a list of 1,000 names which the German Embassy here has submitted.

When the persons on it are located, they will be given every opportunity to contact the West German Embassy in Moscow and arrange repatriation, the note added. The list of names was submit ted to the Russians last month by West German Ambassador Wil-helm Haas. The list contained the exact So viet address of each of the prisoners. It was compiled by West German organizations over a period of years, largely from prisoners who returned previously. i The Soviet note recalled Soviet claims that a large number of Russian "displaced persons" are living in Western Germany and that the federal government had "promised to cooperate fully" their return to Russia.

The note did not tie the two is sues together in any way which would imply that the Germans would not be released unless the Russians returned home. Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, in announcing resumption of diplo matic relations with the Soviet Union last September, said the Russians had promised to return Germans still held prisoner. The West Germans prodded the Russians on the issue again on April 22 and the Soviet reply, the text of which was released today, was delivered in Bonn last Friday.

A communique said "more than 10 rebels were killed and a num ber wounded." It gave Coban army losses as three soldiers. Earlier accounts had said two sol diers were killed when the rebels seized six trucks at a mine.

Among the rebels slain was Reinol Garcia, listed by police as a conspiracy 1 a r. Some sources have identified him with groups loyal to prio Socarras. The communique said all leaves of members of the national police. army and navy had been cancelled. All members of the armed forces were ordered to quarters.

Gen. Pilar Garcia, military com mander at Matanzas, told The Associated Press by telephone the battle was over except for the mopup. "The attackers were extermi nated at the side of their machine guns," Garcia said. Garcia reported the attackers rode up to Goicuria army barracks in blue shirts and gray pants similar to army uniforms. They were in six trucks.

Guards sounded an alert and a short, vicious battle was joined, Garcia said. None of the attackers was able to force his way into the military base, he added. Up to now," Garcia said, "we have picked up nine bodies but the mopping up operation is still under way. Three soldiers were wounded." He identified one of the dead as Reinol Garcia, who was believed to have led the attack.

Nu Is Swept Back In Power Burma Commies Show But Little RANGOON, Burma, April 29 CD Prime Minister Nu's govern ment has been swept back into full power for another four years This became known today on the basis of incomplete but con elusive returns from the weekend parliamentary elections. Actually the outcome was never in serious doubt since opposition to the neutralist leader was minor. Only 80 of the 200 seats in Par liament were contested. The latest returns showed that Nu's Anti-Fascist League had won nearly all the seats.

Only a few seats in the central Burma area were still in doubt tonight. Burmese Communists showed no strength in Rangoon and little in the hilly, rambling countryside where they have been active ever since Nu took office eight years ago. Election of Nu and his parlia mentary followers means another four years of Burmese neutrality and possibly a continuation of bar ter trade with Iron Curtain coun tries. OoDosition to this trade was one of the main campaign issues. Bur mese complained that goods received, mostly from Russia, Czechoslovakia and Red China, are inferior to those of Western Europe and the United States.

The government of Nu is So cialist and anti-Communist, at least as far as Reds within Burma are ronrerned. The Communist party is outlawed, although Nu offered official status on March 31 at the end of a six-months am nesty. But the Reds would not ac cept his surrender condition. Many Youths Found In Federal Prisons' WASHINGTON, April 29 UP) The U.S. Prison Bureau says that 21 per cent of all of the commitments to federal penal institutions in fiscal 1955 involved prisoners un der 22 years of age.

Witnesses told police the plane lost a wing and exploded in the air. There was a second explosion as the plane hit the ground. The men were headed for a national conference on Metropolitan problems. About 10 before the crash, Pittman contacted the nearby Lansing control tower and was given clearence to land. He said he was at 5,000 feet, flying over a layer of clouds.

Police said witnesses told them the plane was just under the cloud layer when it lost its wing.

He described the success in packing the hydrogen bomb into a small space as a breakthrough that changed the nature of scientific war by simplifying the development of a usable, long-range ballistic missile. Gen.

Brentnall also disclosed, in the heavily censored version of the hearings made public, that the Air Force has a definite schedule of development for its long-range missiles. He said the Air Force has "faith" that the missiles will succeed on schedule because of assurances from eminent scientists that the missile problems will be solved on time. The schedule was given to the congressmen, but was deleted from the published version of the hearings. The latter did include the positive statement by Brentnall and another general concerned with missiles that "no in-bentions are required" to give the United States missiles that can be launched from home bases to drop from high above the atmosphere By WATSON SIMS NEW YORK, Aprtt 29 UPl There was debate in some parts as to what had happened to spring, but the birds and the bees were as busy as usual last week. Some of them were even busier.

For example, a quail named Bernice laid her 282nd egg for the current 10 month laying season. Amazed state hatchery officials said this was 182 eggs above the previously claimed national record. What state does Bernice hail from? Why, Texas, of course! In Kentucky, an annonymous woodpecker was on a different kind of spree. Residents of Lexington complained that this bird had taken up drumming on a metal garbage pail and was rousing the neighborhood at 5:30 a.m. And in Cortland, N.Y., a housewife reported seeing a flight of wild geese headed south.

Yes, south. One guess was that the geese, like some humans, had given up hope a northern spring this year. The season had nothing to do with the fact that another kind. of Franco Sees U.S. As Soain's Ally SEVILLA, Spain, April 29 Gen.

Francisco Franco told a Catherine of senior armed serv ices officers here yesterday the United States "the world's most nowerful nation" would be Spain's ally if danger menaced her. He said the three-year-old aid-for-bases accord with the United States had enabled Spain to make considerable technical advances. Franco said communism is Eu rope's greatest menace and that all nations must be ready mter-riallv if thev are to succeed in fighting outside dangers. More important than increasing arma ments and improving war lecn-ciques, he said, is the maintenance of internal unity to combat fifth column activities. Spain is well prepared for this, he said, but he admitted the possibility of a threat to other parts of Spain's geographical area.

North Africa. If this occurred, he said, Spain would rush to her neighbors' aid. REDS PLAN EXHIBIT STOCKHOLM, Sweden, April 29 Officials of an international exposition at Goteborg said today the Russians plan to exhibit an atomic battery which transforms atomic radiation into electric energy.

YATES McDANIEL WASHINGTON, April 29 (JP) The Air Force has told Congress that hydrogen bombs "light and handy enough" to be packed into the warheads of ocean-spanning mis siles are a certainty.

In testimony made public today. Brentnall said that the "advent of lightweight high-yield warheads" had simplified many technical problems and "insured that ther monuclear explosives would be light and handy enough to be carried by long-range missiles of reasonable size." He said the Air Force had been held back in the development of long-range missiles for many years because the warheads had to be of such large size to hold the nuclear payload that guidance, propulsion and design problems BATON ROUGE, April 29 (AP) The sheriff of East Baton Rouge Parish planned to fly to East Lansing, today to get the bodies of Mayor-President Jessie L.
