Earl Warren of Cali fornia was sworn in as the 14th chjef justice of the United States todaj in a colorful supreme court ceremony attended by Pres. Eisenhower. Mr. Warren was installed in the nation's highest judicial post promptly at noon, as the high tribunal assembled for its fall term. The court faces a heavy docket of important constitutional cases, including a historic test of racial seg regation in public schools.

The 62-year-old Californian ar rived here by plane Sunday night, after resigning the governorship he had held for II years. He was accompanied by Mrs. Warren. She had not planned to come, but changed her mind at the last minute when her husband said he "just wouldn't know what to do" if she were not here to share his big day. PRIVATE CEREMONY The eight associate justices of the supreme court were waiting for their new chief when he arrived, shortly before noon, at the white marble court building on Capitol Hill.

Mr. Warren took his first oath to defend and uphold the Constitution in the privacy of the court's conference room ad joining the chief justice's chambers. This oath, taken by all federal officials, was administered by Hugo L. Black, the senior associate justice. Only members of the court were present.

At the stroke of noori. Court Crier George E. Hutchinson called tne court into session with the traditional "oyez, oyez." The President and Mrs. Eisenhower had arrived a short time before and sat with an overflow crowd of attorneys, dignitaries and curious visitors in the great marble-columned court chamber. SPECIAL OATH The black-robed justices filed through the red draperies at the rear of the chamber and Mr.

War ren took a seat at the clerk's desk to the left of the long mahogany bench. Black read into the record the formal announcement of Mr. Warren's appointment to succeed the late Fred M. Vinson. Then Court Clerk Harold B.

Willey administered to Mr. Warren the special oath taken by all fed eral judges, in which he swore to "administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich."

Mr. Warren was met at national airport by a delegation headed by his fellow Californian, Vice President Richard M. Nixon. A crowd of about 150 persons applauded as he left the airplane. "I really am glad to get out oi politics." he said.

"You know I've been at it a long time. It will be something new to go on the court. New School TV Doors uoen i Classes Start in Gier Park Elementary Grade Building Monday Lansing's newest addition to its public school plant (the north-side Gier Park elementary grade school) opened for classes Monday morning. The one-story building, of brick and steel construction, was built (Picture on Page 11) at a cost of S355.000, and will house 370 pupils in its two kindergartens and six grades. Dedication rites for the new building will be conducted some time during tne wees oi inov.

Mr. Kosht said the Thomas school will remain empty until it can be incorporated with a new north side junior high now in the planning stage. Our Date' a balanced budget in favor of "drastic" speed-up in defense preparations.

I also think we must step up our own production of all kinds of atomic weapons no matter what it costs," he told a reporter. He called for an increase of 10 billion dollars annually in the United States' military and defense expenditures. Cole also said from 15 billion to 25 billion dollars" should be spent in the next "three to five years" building up the nation's continental defenses. "WISHFUL THINKING" Cole has served 18 years in the house and is respected by his colleagues as a man who weighs his words carefully. As head of the joint senate-house atomic commit tee, he is in a position to receive secret intelligence reports on Soviet H-bomb progress.

the atomic energy commission reported Aug. 20 that Russia had set off a hydrogen explosion. But there was subsequent speculation that Soviet scientists had touched off a cumbersome test "device' rather than an actual H-bomb, and that it would be some time vet be fore Russia would have true hydro gen weapons of the kind that could an enure city. Cole condemned all such soecu lation as wishful He said emphatically that Russia now has "H-bombs plural" and that they are "deliverable weapons' which are compact enough to be trans ported by plane: He would not say how the United States obtained this intelligence, nor would he es timate how many H-bombs Russia has. The United States also is be lieved to have a small stockpile of completed H-bombs with more on the way as the vast Savannah river project gets into full production.

COLE "DISTURBED" Cole's statements coincided with the release of a report by Defense Mobilizer Arthur S. Flemming which warned that Russia "is capable of delivering suddenly and without warning the most destructive weapon ever devised by man on chosen targets in the United States." While Flemming's language ateo carried the clear implication that Russia has a stockpile of deliverable H-bombs, he said that he had not intended to go beyond the Aug. 20 statement of the atomic energy, commission, which merely said Russia had conducted a test. Cole, on the other hand, was well aware that he was adding a new dimension to public of the Soviet H-bomb threat. He spoke out he said, because "I am disturbed and troubled." We have discounted Russia's in tentions and atomic capacity too long," he said.

"I think it is time we took off the rose-colored glasses and gave them credit for sinister motives and the capacity to work unspeakable devastation on our cities." Polish Marchers Honor Hero of U. S. Revolution NEW YORK, Oct. 5 UP) Some 125,000 persons of Polish extraction marched up Fifth Avenue yester day in an annual observance hon oring Gen. Casimir Pulaski, Polish officer killed in the American Revolution.

Jarecki and Zdzizlaw Jazwin-ski, Polish flyers who fled their country in MiG fighter planes. Police said a half million persons watched the parade. plot even if it led to an armed clash between South Koreans and Indians. It was Won who almost wrecked the Korean truce last June 18 by permiting 27,000 anti-Communist North Korean prisoners to flee Allied compounds under unilateral orders from President Syngman Rhee.

South Korean political leaders called upon civilians to attend mass meetings Tuesday and protest the "barbarous" Indian handling of anti-Communist prisoners. Rhee's government ordered school children to take a holiday Tuesday and march to demon stration centers. SEVERAL ESCAPE Government sources said the South Korean people would harbor escapees from Indian custody just as they had sheltered the fugitive North Koreans almost four months ago in act that imperiled the truce. South Korea planned the mass escapes, the sources saia, to prevent Indian guards from slaying more anti-Communist prisoners who do not want to go back to Red rule. Thus far.

the Indians have slain three prisoners and wounded 10 in putting down anti-uommumsi demonstrations. Nine North Koreans escaped the Tnrtian camo last Thursday and an anti-Communist Chinese snppeo out of the compound Monday. The TVTnrth Koreans have given tne South Koreans an elaborate map of the Indian custodial camp. The South Koreans have accused the Indians of being pro-Red and challenged them Saturday to side with the Communists openly so the R.O.K. army could deal with them in a military manner.

Ppinine- radio, voice OI com munist China, blamed the United States for South Korea's defiant attitude toward the Indians, who were assigned to guard the prisoners for 90 days, while "explainers" of both sides attempt to change the captives' minds about going home. The Red radio said tne u. o. was attempting to force the neutral nations repatriation commission to change its stand on repatriation by planning to release the prisoners. The broadcast said the United States had constructed prisoner See PLOT Page 2, Col.

The National Observer The Neics Behind The Day's A'eit's 'J'HE demand of the middle west bloc for greater representation on the Republicans' senate policy committee is aimed directly at the growing influence of the Dewey-Driscoll-Adams faction. Not daring to strike at President Eisenhower because of his continued popularity, they plan to erect legislative roadblocks against the White House on Capitol Hill. Since the death of their leader, Sen. Robert A. Taft, in early August, this ultraconservative and nationalistic group think that Eisenhower has swung sharply toward the eastern school of party liberals and internationalists.

Taft's ability and prestige were sufficient to nullify or minimize their effect on policy for the first few months of the administration. With him gone, his followers have to close ranks or abandon the field. STRATEGY OF OLD GUARDS 'T'HEY have chosen the strategy of all old guards, and their scheme is simplicity itself.

PARIS, 111., Oct. 5 (UP) Dozens of jealous housewives here intercepted postcards addressed to their hapless husbands. The milder ones crowed, "Ah-hah!" But one suspicious spouse kicked out her picture window in an argument with her cowed mate, and another went running for a divorce. Still another wife flagged down a train to get at her locomotive engineer husband. The cards that caused all- the marital fireworks read: "DARLING: Don't forget our date at 8 p.

Oct. 28 Dorothy." The postal bombshell was explained today as a publicity stunt that backfired. The identity of the idea man was mercifully The cards were sent to plug the coming visit of Film Star Dorothy Lamour and a variety revue under the auspices of the Paris Exchange club. The club idea man went through the telephone book and mailed cards to every third name listed. The directory includes several other eastern Illinois towns as well as Paris, a community of 10,000 club because the card touched off such a violent argument with his wife.

The locomotive engineer's wife was understandably riled. She ran to the yards to flag down her husband and demand to know whether he was seeing his first wife, who was unfortunately named Dorothy. At Marshall, 111., one wife headed straight to a lawver to discuss a divorce, but was dissuaded when the "lawyer looked at the card and told her he got one, too. At Chrisman, fascinated neighbors reported that one lady kicked her picture window into small pieces while interrogating her husband about Dorothy. Exchange club officials had only one explanation.

It was a "mistake," they said lamely. J..
