Carrizozo Cafe Man Held in Liquor Case SANTA FE, Sept. 21 State Police Chief Joe Roach announc-ed tonight that plainclothes state policemen arrested a Carrizozo i cafe operator today on charges of liquor law violations. Roach named the operator as Ward Leslie, operator of Leslie's "cafe, Carrizozo.

Leslie was charged with selling liquor with-it out a license and illegally dis-pensing liquot in a public place. Roach said his officers raided ihe cafe after he had received Still Hangs Fire Continued from Pare Om tion to drop Nixon could be at tributed to moral indignation. 4Tf the general drops Nixon after four days of wavering indecision, his action be attributed to public pressure. "The debate at the Eisenhower headquarters is not on whether Nixon did wrong. It is a political debate as to what step will lose the least number of votes." One of the contributors to the Nixon fund insisted it was not a political fund nor designed to in fluence any tone.

J. B. Van Nuys. wealthy Cali- fornian who was one of the 76 contributors to the Nixon expense fund, said at Los Angeles that neither he nor any of the other donors sought to gain through their contributions. "It was not a political fund." he said.

"We had no interest in any particular enterprise. We sought nothing beyond better rep resentation ior uamornia an a proper way." Gov. Adlai Stevenson, Eisenhower's Democratic opponent for the presidency, took no further note of the Nixon incident as he worked on a speech he is scheduled to deliver this morning to the convention of the American Federation of Labor in New York City. Stevenson's vice-presi i a 1 running mate. Sen.

John J. Spark-man, suggested that a congressional inquiry into the Nixon expense fund would be in order, although he conceded that one could probably not be conducted prior to the Nov. 4 election. Sticks to Demand Chairman Stephen A. Mitchell of the Democratic national committee was asked in New York whether he had changed his mind about a statement that Nixon should withdraw from the ticket.

A reporter noted that Stevenson had suggested judgment be withheld until all the facts were known. Mitchell said he was sticking by his demand that he had more facts than were available to Stevenson. Eisenhower was said by his press secretary, James Hagerty, not to have accepted as a full disclosure of the matter a partial accounting of the expense fund made public Saturday by Dana C. Smith, Pasadena attorney who has acted as trustee of the fund. Smith made public a list of 76 persons he said had contributed $18,235, and a general breakdown of expenditures.

He has said a full audit will take more time to prepare. Hagerty made clear that Eisenhower has not made any final decision, but he declined to say what further information the general wants. And he left unanswered the question of when Eisen hower might reach a decision; the only word on that came from the Nixon camp. Studies Mail Hagerty said Eisenhower had received about 400 telegrams re garding Nixon and that: "half of the people want to keep him on the ticket and the other half don't." Basset, Nixon's press secretary, said the California senator had received about 500 telegrams and that there wasn't -an avorable one among them. Although Nixon has heatedly denied any wrongdoing and said his acceptance' of the private funds was completely ethical, members of his campaign entour age conceded that the fund will continue to be a campaign issue Hagerty said he did not be lieve there was any grave con cern" over the issue in the Eisenhower command.

The general has twice voiced confidence in Nixon's honesty. In his initial statement on the matter Friday, Eisenhower said he intended to talk to Nixon as soon as telephone connections could be set up. Such a conversation had not taken place up until late yesterday, although there had been frequent conferences on the part of aides to the two men.

Sands, returned from 104 Sabre jet missions in Korea, checks over his gun at home here Sunday preparing to do some dove hunting. With him are his wife and daughter, Kathy. Sands has three MIGs to his credit.

(Kew photo) Albuquerque's two MIG killers arrived here Sunday for a 30- day rest following completion of their 100 ilying missions in Ko rea both ready and eager to get out of the Air Force. Sabre jet pilots with the 51st Fighter-Interceptor Wing in Korea since February, they are Capt. Francis A. Williams, 2407 La Veta Dr. NE, and First Lt.

Robert L. Sands, 416 Isleta Blvd. SW. They have been credited wth damaging two and shooting down three MIGS each. Both men, now reunited with their wives and children, completed their combat tours on Aug.

31, the day Sands downed his third North Korean jet. After a short rest in Japan the pilots were rotated back to the U.S. Their wives here said they started for the first time to really worry about their husbands after word was received that the men were being shipped home, and their ar rival was delayed a lew days by the Wake Island typhoon last week. All available planes were being used to evacuate inhabitants of the island. Williams shot down his MIGs, one each on Father's Day.

the Fourth of July and Aug. 30. He finished 100 missions on Aug. 31. Sands made his first kill on Easter Sunday, completing 104 missions the same day Williams concluded his tour.

Contrary to what one might suppose. Sands said he liked the last four over-quota flights best of all. The reason: he downed his second MIG on the 101st mission, Aug. 30, and the third on the 103rd, the next day. Both agreed that the Russian built MIG was a faster plane than the Sabre jet but" they would rather fly the F-86 because it is better equipped and affords more protection for the pilot.

"The MKi is a good macmne, Sands said, "and they are improving it. all the time." Williams added that he recognized an im provement in the quality of the North Korean pilots during the last few weeks of fighting. Those two factors, combined with a desire to be with their families, make the pilots happy that their combat tours are completed." Lieutenant and Mrs. Sands have two boys, Jess, Pat 4, and a daughter, Kathy, 8. Marie and Francis William have five chil dren, David, Toby, Perry, Rebecca, 2, and 4-month-old Stephen whom the captain saw for the first time Sunday; I Both Sands and Williams were with the same wing in Korea but they were in different squadrons.

Most of their missions were flying cover for fighter-bombers, but they occasionally went out on "sweeps" during which the group's sole purpose was to seek out and shoot down MIGs. Williams, who flew P-47s on 100 missions during World "War II in Europe, explained that during a sweep the Sabre jet pilots would fly up and -down the Yalu River until North Korean pilots took up the dare and came across for a dog fight. Of the ROKs, some of whom work at the U. S. air bases in South Korea, Sands said, "It's the best deal they ever had.

They get their rice rations and pay they like the war." Sands and Williams don't. After their 30-day leaves in Albuquerque, both men will be as signed to further duty, Williams at Norton AF Base, San Bernardino, and Sands at Nellis AF Base, Las Vegas, Nev. They said Sunday they plan to apply for discharge and hope to be out within 60 days. Williams summed up the attitude of the two fliers in one statement: "I've lived in an airplane for more than 2000 hours of combat, and I no longer have any desire to become an ace." Former Resident Drowns at Flagstaff Clarence Hays, 36, formerly of Albuquerque, drowned when a boat capsized while he was fishing in Lake Mary, near Flagstaff, Sunday. Word of the death sent to his brother, John Hays, 296 Flacitas Rd.
