Authorities here looked for two likely results: 1. Communist China will lose support for its drive to win general diplomatic recognition and a seat in the United Nations. 2.

British efforts for a compromise Washington and Peiping on Chinese Nationalist- held Formosa will be dropped at least for the present. British officials indicated they shared this view. The 13 airmen and two captured during the Korean War and this week, according to Peiping radio, got sentences ranging from four years to life. Of particular interest in Washington was the British sharp condemnation yesterday of the imprisonments as an violation of international law. In much the same vein as earlier U.S.

protests, London accused the Chinese Reds of bad faith in deliberately concealing the detention of the 13 men for more than a year after the Korean armistice. A personal Thanksgiving Day message was sent by President Eisenhower to the wives and mothers of the 13. Eisenhower plcKiged again that every effort be made to free the 13 and any other Americans in Communist hands. In New York, Henry Cabot Lodge top American delegate to the U.N., issued a statement denouncing the Communist senten- ROYAL RECEPTION FOR SANTA.

(Turn to FOG 17) Thieves Enter 2 City Stores S132 111 Sales Tax Stamps Among Loot Holiday burglars entered two adjoining places on 4th and Washington obtaining a total of $132 in uncanceled sales tax stamps and miscellaneous items in a radio and television shop and a table model radio from a furniture store The biggest loss was reported at the Kapp Radio 8 Television Sales and Service, 131 E. 4th St. In addition to the sales tax stamps, the intruder took a dozen flash lights, batteries, bench tools and some radio and TV tubes.

The small radio was taken from the Smith Phillips Cto. store, which fronts on Washington St. The rear of two places face E. Drury Lane. At the intruder scaled the building and forced entry through a skylight on the roof.

The store was ransacked. The stolen stamps included 100 of the 60-cent denomination worth $60, 100 30-cent stamps worth $30, 100 worth $12, 100 worth $15 and 100 worth $9. The stamps were carried out of the back room, along with packages of 3-cent. 2-cent and 1-cent varieties, which the thief dropped in the front of the store. The firm said it lost $28 and $46 out of petty cash in two similar burglaries last summer.

But AFL and CIO officials have said privately that, while they consider Kammholz able and fair, they are not keen to have him in the job because his law clients have been mostly on the management side. And Democratic senators have indicated they would want lengthy hearings on the apparently ruling out action this session because of the current informal agreement not to take up nominations. The Senate informants interviewed today, both Democratic and Republican, said the picture is further complicated because: 1. The White House notified neither Sen. Douglas (D-Ill) nor Sen.

Dirksen (R-Ill) of the appointment before sending it to the Senate. Failure to officially inform home state senators in such cases is considered a serious breach of legislative-executive etiquette. 2. Two days before Congress adjourned last Aug. 20.

Sherman Adams, the assistant, telephoned Sen. H. Alexander Smith (R-NJ), Labor Committee chairman, asking him to call his committee together that day to receive and pass on the Kammholz nomination. Smith said this did not allow enough time. He was piqued at what he considered an unreasonable request.

3. ft reported reluctant to quit his law practice in Chicago for a recess appointment next month because of the possibility that the Senate may never confirm him. State Shows Pictures Of Blood Spots Bare Trail Through Sheppard House Of Murder CLEVELAND UB Photographs showing a trail of blood spots through the Sheppard house of murder were introduced by the state today. There were 15 pictures, and they were given state exhibit numbers 61 through 75, although the defense objected unsuccessfully to four of them. Henry Dombrowski, a chemist with 12 years experience in the police laboratory, identified the photos from the witness stand.

He was a prosecution witness at the first degree murder trial of Dr. Samuel H. Sheppard, the Bay Village osteopath who is accused of the July 4 fatal bludgeoning of his wife Marilyn, 31. Chalk marks and pointing pencils were used in the pictures to call attention to the blood spots, many of which were quite small. The blood specks running up and downstairs from basement to bedroom and from door to door inside and detected by a substance called luminol.

This is a liquid which Dombroski said is sprayed on the suspected spot. This produces a bluish green fluorescence if the spot is blood, but does not indicate whether the blood is human or animal. The jurors passed the photographs around from hand to hand, looking them over. The trail, as Dombrowski noted it from the photographs which Assistant Prosecutor Thomas J. Parrino handed him, included these places: The north side of the living room; at the north threshold of the living room steps, from the kitchen to an upstairs landing; the hallway between the kitchen and the den; by the door on the south side of the living room; on a swinging door leading to the kitchen from the hallway; on the threshold of the second floor bedroom of the Sheppards' seven year old son from the base of the stairs to the second floor, around to the door into the porch leading to the beach; five spots on a chair mat at a desk in the den; the treads and risers on the top three steps leading to the second floor; steps leading from the garage to the floor above; the stairway leading from the kitchen to the basement.

The pictures to which Defense Attorney Fred Garmone objected were, he said, either duplicates of other ups taken from a different there were other things in the pictures that he apparently felt did not belong there. At the beginning of the session. Judge Edward Blythin excused the jury while Defense Counsel William J. Corrigan renewed his motion for a continuance of the trial, now ending its sixth week. Corrigan produced two copies of the Cleveland Press of Wednesday and yesterday.

He said they contained and that the material covered was at the very foundations of The stories dealt with with friends and relatives of the slain Marilyn Sheppard, the other a feature about a woman family struggling along without her while she was on duty. The juror, Mrs. Lois Manchini, was not at the home when her family was interviewed and pictures were taken, a fact Judge Blythin noted in the motion. The state hopes the trail will help prove its contention that the osteopath murdered his 31-year- old pregnant wife Marilyn after an affair with pretty Susan Hayes. Dombrowski, of the Cleveland police force, testified before the trial was recessed for Thanksgiving that at least one spot he found was human blood.

Scheduled to follow him is another scientific expert, Miss Mary E.

After years behind bars, Alger Hiss will leave Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary tomorrow. His wife Priscilla is expected to meet him at the gate. The 50-year-old former State Department official, who was convicted of swearing falsely when he told a congressional committee he had never passed secrets to a Communist spy ring, is leaving on a probationary basis.

He was originally sentenced for five years, but he won an earlier release with a record. As a convicted felon, he will be without the right to vote or hold public office. Acting Warden Fred T. Wilkinson said he has had his with Hiss. His itinerary for tomorrow is simple: Eat breakfast, check out with the library and then walk to freedom.

Prison guards have described prison life as that of an extremely cooperative They said he worked most of his prison time as a clerk on the clothing issue detail. His spare time, they said, was devoted to reading in the prison library. release comes just a few days after the death of William W. Remington, another government employe who was imprisoned on conviction of perjury in connection with questioning on Communist connections. Two inmates, George Junior McCoy, Grundy, and Robert Carl Parker, Washington, D.

face murder charges in the Monday bludgeoning of Remington with a sock-encased piece of fire brick. Remington died Wednesday after an unsuccessful emergency operation. Dozens of newsmen are expected to be on hand to question Hiss on his plans for the future. He entered the prison claiming his innocence and some indications are his immediate future might be devoted to proving it. But at least two congressional committees have indicated they may ask first call on his time.

Until March 21, 1956, Hiss will have to check with a parole officer and report various details of his personal life. THEY JUMPED TO CONCLUSIONS. Capt. Edward G. Sperry (seated), of Gresham, is shown with Lt.

Election Board clerk, said today. Countywide recounts have been scheduled in the past, but they always were called off by the applicant before all the precincts were checked, pointed out. The last recount here in 1951 con-1 firmed the victory of a $2,750,0001 bond issue in the East Liverpool School District. The recount here is part of a new tabulation in over 6,800 Ohio precincts requested by Sen.

Thomas A. Burke, Democrat, who apparently was defeated by 6,041 votes by Rep. George H. Bender, Republican, in a race for the unexpired term of the late Sen. Robert A.

Taft. The Election Board received a telegram from Sen. Burke Wednesday night waiving the order of the precinct recount listed in his application and clearing the way for the board to count all ballots stored in the East Liverpool district first, then move to its office at Lisbon to check ballots from the northern county area. As Sen. Burke listed the precincts, the crews would have been forced to shuttle between East Liverpool and Lisbon.

The Election Board said no spectators will be permitted at the recount. Each principal will be permitted to send an attorney, plus a witness for each of the four tables where counting crews will work. Both the Election Board office and the adjoining Civil Defense headquarters will be used. At least three members will be appointed to each of the counting crews, but the workers have not been named, said.

Now Estimated As Loot In Holdup New Waterford Bank Staff Shown More Pictures Of Criminals New Waterford Bank officials said $16,610 was taken by four bandits in the armed robbery of the bank just before closing Wednesday noon. William E. Ferguson, vice president And cashier, said an audit of the books this morning indicated the amount scooped into shopping bags by the holdup men. Ferguson said the audit, made by bank officials and representatives of the insurance company, was the complete and final report of the loss, including some checks that were taken. A customer, A.

L. Price, from whom the bandits took a wallet containing about $28, will be reimbursed by the bank, Ferguson said. Meanwhile the search for the quartet of quiet talking robbers who herded eight of the bank ployes and a customer into the vault and drove away in a green auto hinges on an identification check.

Warren authorities said the original license plate, K-900-R, on the car used in the getaway has not been found.

The car was abandoned Wednesday afternoon near Columbiana. The 1951 sedan had been stolen from a Youngstown man Monday and the plate used on the car during the robbery was stolen from another Youngstown car Tuesday. Both the Warren patrol officials and the Youngstown office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation said several leads are being followed in hunting the men, believed to be from a 2 Mansfield Men Killed In Car-Truck Collision MANSFIELD, Ohio Two Mansfield men were killed today when their car missed a curve just north of Mansfield on U.S. 42 and crashed head-on into a big truck.

Driven Off After Hour Of Fighting Many Communists Captured, Ministry Of Defense Reports TAIPEH, Formosa Reds stormed a tiny Chinese Na- tionali.st island in Formosa Strait today but were driven off after an heavy fighting, the Nationalist Defense Ministry reported. The ministry said many Communist soldiers were captured. It was not clear whether the attack on Wuchiu Island was intended as an invasion, a hit-and-run raid or an effort to see what the U.S.

7th Fleet might do. Press reports said the Reds stormed ashore from motorized junks under cover of shellfire from 10 gunboats. Nationalist warplanes raced to the island and helped drive the invaders back into the sea. Taipeh newspapers said the warplanes then roared low over the sea, strafing a of Communist craft. The Communists replied with machine-gun fire, but without success, the newspapers said.

The reports said the troops on Wuchiu were against a possible night attack. Wuchiu is a guerrilla base only a mile long and half a mile wide. It is 15 miles from the mainland and 10 miles south of Red-held Nanjin Island. It is 63 miles northeast of Quemoy and 66 miles south- southeast of Foochow, capital of Fukien province. The 7th Fleet has been patrolling the Formosa Strait since June 27.

1950, just after the outbreak of the Korean War. Its assigned task is to protect Formosa and the Pescadores from invasion. U.S. policy has been to keep the Reds guessing about what the fleet might do if one of the many offshore Nationalist outposts was threatened. There was no indication that the fleet was needed today, or that the Nationalists asked for its help.

In Washington, the Defense and State departments said they had received no information on the reported attack. President Chiang Kai-shek told interviewers just the other day that if the United States openly committed itself to defend the offshore islands, the Reds would not dare attack them. Press reports said the defenders of Wuchiu recoiled under the initial attack, then counterattacked and with the support of Formosa- based warplanes erased the Communist bridgehead. They also said Nationalist warships went into action immediately, but their role was not reported. French Ask AEC For Atvard In Use Of Fission Process NEW YORK The New York Times said today that France has asked the U.S.

Atomic Energy Commission for a reasonable award for the use of a uranium fission process. A Washington dispatch to the Times said the request made by the Commissariat a Atomique is believed to Be the first international claim of its kind in the atomic energy field. The story said: atomic energy agency, which laid the claim the Patent Compensation based its case on five patent applications filed by three leading French scientists. The applications, dating back to 1939 before development of the atomic bomb, were filed with the U.S. Patent office but no patents were issued.

World War II brought a suspension of normal patent rights on atomic inventions. The patent applicants, who assigned their interests to the French commission, were Dr. Jean F. Joliot, Dr. Hans von Halban and Dr.

Lew Kowarski, nuclear scientists who led the development of the first French atomic piles. The French contend that the principals involved in the uranium fission have been used by the AEC in reactor or furnace developments in the United States..
