The warnings came from Senator Hugh Scott, and J. R. Wiggins, executive editor of the Washington Post and Times Herald. Both spoke to the PNPA Friday.

The association winds up its thirty-fifth annual convention tonight with a speech by U.S. Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell. Scott, a Philadelphia Republican, told a meeting of the state's weekly newspaper publishers that efforts may be made to use an "obscure" Senate sub-committee to set the government up as the "judge of whether the handling news hasn't been as impartial as it should be." Wiggins told the publishers that the "institutions of freedom" necessary to a free press are challenged by "vast impersonal forces which press upon man and threaten to remake the citizen into a standardized component of a huge social machine." Scott said the Senate sub-committee on freedom of communications, on which he serves along with two Democrats, was set up in the last Congress by Democrats. He said he had a feel ing in my Republican bones that the Democrats feel that it is only fair that since they have a twoto-one majority in Congress they are entitled to two-to-one coverage in the "This has been described as a 'watchdog' committee over radio and television and one of the Democratic members has said, 'There has been a long-standing feeling of lots of people that the handling of news hasn't been as impartial as it ought to be," Scott said.

"This statement has an ominous ring. It raises the whole question of whether federal government can be the judge of whether news is being handled impartially." Wiggins said that "great gov. ernment, great business and great labor tower above the lone citizen clamoring for conformity." Discussing "What's Going to Happen in the Golden theme of the PNPA convention, Wiggins said "the climate of the second half of the 20th Century, let us face it, is somewhat hostile to Wiggins said the ingenuity of newspapermen would be taxed to the utmost to preserve "institutions of freedom which are indispensable to the publication of a free press." The challenge, he added, comes "not wilfully or consciously or purposely," but rather through a "conspiracy of circumstance." "An alert press," he said must put the light upon every proposal for an extension of authority over the person of the individual citizen Another great challenge to a newspaper in the 1960s, Wiggins said, will be the "obligation to expand its coverage in all directions at once." General Marshall (Continued from Page One) we deeply regret his death." He said the Marshall Plan first formulated by the late general to assist in Europe's economic reafter the chaos of World covery, was a plan "which saved Western Europe at a critical period." Defense Secretary Neil H. McElroy "Americans have lost one of the men of our generation. In three diverse fields served his country with wholehearted devotion and distinction." Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon Marshall was one of those very lonely and great men who believed that 'duty' is the most compelling word in the English language.

As a soldier, he was one of the finest men. As a statesman, his name will exist for centuries to come. This is a melancholy moment for America." House Speaker Sam consider him one of the ablest men I ever met, in the Army or out of the History will remember Marshall "not only as he is now-as one of the nation's greatest soldiers and statesmen-but as one of the few great Americans of all times."

(UPI) Two Camden policemen were arrested Friday night, suspended from the force and released on their own recognizance on charges of conspiring to commit extortion on a Philadelphia motorist. The suspects are Harry Barwise and Nicholas Green, both 35. Green, a nine-year veteran, was named in an additional charge of actually-committing the extortion. Police Chief Gustav Koerner said the officers stopped Jerry Singer, of Philadelphia, and accused him of driving 66 miles an hour on Admiral Wilson Boulevard last Friday night. He said they did not give Singer a ticket explaining they did not have the ticket forms with them.

Later, Koerner said, the suspects contacted Singer at a Delaware Township tavern where he is employed and allegedly told him "everything could be settled" if he would meet them Friday night. Singer went to Koerner, told him the story and a transaction was arranged between Singer and the officer whereby he would pay them $25, the police chief said. Four superior officers concealed themselves as Singer handed over the money in marked bills to Green at a service station near the Cooper River, Koerner said. Barwise dropped Green off at the prearranged location and continued on his patrol in the red caGreen was arrested after accepting the money. Barwise was arrested later.

Both will have a hearing Monday morning in Camden Police Court. Marshall Dies (Continued from Page One) where he had a more severe stroke February 17.

The department said Mrs. Marshall, his second wife, had been in "almost constant attendance since the general's initial accident." But Lieutenant Colonel Clarence J.

'George, Marshall's aide for 13 years, said she was not at the bedside when the end came. In addition to Mrs. Marshall, the general is survived by a sister, Mrs. John J. Singer, Greensburg, and a step-daughter, Mrs.

James J. Winn, Leesburg, Va. As chief of staff, Marshall directed the greatest military force in United States history to victory over Germany and Japan. At war's end, he retired to his country home in Leesburg, Va. Just seven days later Truman tapped him for an urgent job as his personal envoy to China, then plagued by civil strife between the Nationalists and the Communists.

His mediation efforts in the China crisis later became involved in the domestic controversy over Communists in government. Marshall was attacked by the late Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, Wis. In 1947 Truman named Marshall the nation's fifty-fourth secretary of state. In this role he conceived the Marshall Plan of economic assistance to help the war-ravaged countries get back on their feet.

For this and his other efforts for peace Marshall awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1953. Marshall retired again in 1949, but again for only a short period. With the Communist invasion of South Korea in 1950, he was recalled to duty second cabinet post this as secretary times of defense. The soft general retired to his tree shaded Virginia home near Washington for the third time in September, 1951, There he was able at last to devote his time to one of his favorite pursuits-tending his garden.

'Synthetic Man' May Enter Space WASHINGTON (UPI) Scientists want to send a plastic "synthetic man" into space to test the radiation hazards to future real space men. The synthetic man would be a creature of plastic filled with fluids which would absorb radiation doses about the way' human tissue would. The proposed flight has nothing to do with Mercury, the manned satellite project of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The Mercury pilots will be launched into orbits far below the altitudes at which they might run into a serious radiation danger.

The plastic man proposal was made at Albuquerque, N. by Lieutenant Colonel S. E. Lifton, deputy chief of the Biophysics Division at Kirtland Air Force Base there. According to the Air Research and Development Command at Andrews Air Force Base, no such radiation research is needed for the Mercury project.

For future flights deeper into space, however, the plastic-man research might be valuable, scientists here said.

Farmer Loses Hand in Machine Realizing that his right hand, which was caught in a corn picker, would be lost, a Benton R. D. 2 farmer pushed desperately against the side of his picker with his left hand and waited until the right was amputated, enabling him to free. The mishap occurred yesterday. Alfred Evarts, 46, then staggered toward nearby highway, calling for help and clutching the end of his right arm to stop the bleeding.

His wife, a distance of two blocks away, an unidentified man and a neighbor heard his cries. The unidentified man, who was aiding in the installation of a new bulk milk tank on the Evarts' farm, used his belt in stopping the flow of blood from the torn wrist. An ambulance was summoned and the injured man was taken to Bloomsburg Hospital, where he was given an immediate transfusion. His condition is reported to be good.

As Army chief of staff during World War II, he directed the greatest military force in U. S.

historian With the retired defeat to his of coun the try home in Leesburg, on November 20, 1945. But his country wouldn't let him rest. In the troubled postwar years, he tackled a new and exceedingly difficult career as a statesman. Only seven days after his retirement, Marshall received an urgent telephone call from President Harry S. Truman.

Goes To China The Chief 1 Executive said he wanted Marshall to act as his personal envoy to China, then torn by civil strife between Communists and Nationalists. Marshall, of course, agreed. It proved a thankless job. For over a year, he toiled to unite that country. But he failed, con vinced that both sides had sabotaged any real chance for peace, he proclaimed "a plague on both their houses." Marshall again wanted to retire.

But President Truman tapped him service again-the fifty-fourth U. S. secretary of state. The diplomatic task ahead was a fearsome one that would have caused a less resolute man to hesitate. Communism was stepping up its activity and continuing to forge into Europe.

A severe winter and spring drought sharpened already serious postwar problems on the Continent. Britain, the main bulwark of the free peoples of Europe, was beginning to slip dangerously. Founds Marshall Plan Marshall got his first taste Communist diplomacy on March 10, 1947, at a Big Four foreign ministers meeting on German and Austrian peace treaties. He came away convinced that sia wanted neither peace nor the economic recovery of Europe. Military strategy applied to diplomacy demanded an entirely new tack be taken in the cold war beginning to grip the world.

Marshall gave his answer on June 5, 1947. In his now-famous address to the University, graduating class at Harvard soldier-statesman announced the birth of the "Marshall Plan." It conveyed a message of American brotherhood to the world, backed up with concrete aid that spelled the difference between economic chaos and eventual prosperity for many nations. Joins Cabinet Again Ten months later, Congress authorized a European Economic Administration to provide a multi-billion-dollar American assistance program to Western Europe. By January, 1949, the Marshall Plan had completed its first objective-helping put war-ravaged European economies back on their feet. The weary general resigned, and once again sought the quiet of his tree-shaded Leesburg home- But not for long.

On June 25, 1950, the North Korean Communists spilled over the borders into South Korea and America went to war to block Red military expansion. Marshall was called back into harness. this time as secretary of fense. His job was to see that the forces were whipped into fighting shape and to boss the country's vast rearmament pro- gram. Receives Peace Prize Truman once described Marshall as "the greatest living American." The Nobel Committee gave him its highest honorthe peace prize 1952.

In July of 1953, President Eisenhower, appointed personal his representa- former tive, at the coronation of England's Queen Elizabeth. Britain singled him out for special honor and affection as the man who more than any other helped put England on the postwar road to recovery. Marshall was born December 31, 1880, at Uniontown, Pa. His father was a prosperous coal operator. He is a distant relative of former Chief Justice John Marshall.

As: a skinny, sandy-haired boy, Marshall always wanted to be a soldier. He couldn't get a West Point appointment from the district's Republican representative, so he entered Virginia Military Institute. Impresses Pershing After graduating fifteenth in his class in 1901, he was commissioned a second lieutenant and stationed with the 30th Infantry in the Philippines. His early career was typical of the peacetime officer: staff schools, minor troop commands, and slow but steady promotion. In World War his genius a planner became In a daring stroke, he planned the night movement of 600,000 troops and 27,000 guns from Mihiel to the Meuse-Argonne, making possible a surprise attack against the Germans.

General John J. Pershing, commander of the American Expeditionary Force, called Marshall the greatest officer of the war and made him his aide from 1919 to 1924. In 1938, now a brigadier general, Marshall became assistant chief of staff of the War Plans Division. The next year, when Germany marched into Poland, President Roosevelt passed up 34 of Marshall's senior officers to name him chief of staff. Marshall was only the second nonWest Pointer to hold the post.

Plans Allied Strategy Marshall set about building a modern army to meet the coming storm. In 1940 he brought the National Guard and Organized Reserve into federal service. As a member of the AngloAmerican combined chiefs of staff, he was the dominant strategy planner in the war. No other man in history ever directed such a vast military machine. Marshall married twice.

His first wife, Lily Carter Coles, was a school day sweetheart. Following her death, he married Mrs. Katherine Boyce Tupper Brown, Baltimore. but He had no step-father children to of his his second own was wife's three children. One, Lieutenant Allen Tupper, was killed in action in Italy in 1944.

Hansen Freed (Continued from Page One) on his face as he realized he was rid of the suspicion of murder for time since May 24. Hansen's former wife, Susan, 25, was found dead on the floor of the bedroom of her fashionable South Side home the morning of May 24. Her neck had been broken and her nightgown was pulled up to her shoulders. Hansen was arrested immediately and charged with the mur- der. The state charged he crept into her home early that morning and killed her in a jealous rage, one month after their divorce and the day after she announced her engagement to a middle-aged society doctor who had been sen's physician.

But Hansen maintained his innocence through months of imprisonment. Hansen said he first learned of his former wife's death when his little daughter, Nancy, 6, telephoned him that morning and said she couldn't "wake mommy up." Hansen said he rushed to the home and found Mrs. Hansen dead. Evidence presented by the state during the trial was almost entirely circumstantial and court observers had predicted the verdict before the case went to the jury.
