Double Spy Tale Told by Two US Veterans
Greeury Lima and Theo Hollie say they offered to work as double agents for the Soviets to aid the West and accuse the CIA of malfeasance for not hiring them. They claim the CIA used them briefly, paid only a small per diem, and refuse to settle about $2,000 in debts, while they ran an Allied News Agency in Darmstadt covering military news for American papers.

Hotel Man Testifies in $8,000 Bribe Case
Riverside Palm Springs hotel owner testifies in bribery trial that Harold Alt MacKenzie paid $8,000 under the table for a liquor license in 1952. Dewey Metzdorf says a woman phoned October 25 1952 offering the license price and an envelope with the money was collected the next day. The license was issued December 18 1952. MacKenzie faces two counts of accepting bribes, including the $8,000 claimed by Metzdorf and $2,000 from George Strebe of the Doll House Palm Springs. Strebe is expected to testify when trial resumes Monday before Superior Judge John Gebbert. MacKenzie, former liquor control officer for Riverside Orange and San Bernardino counties, is free on bond pending appeal of an Orange County conviction. Prosecutors plan to call Mrs Mickey Jones as a key witness. The pawned jewelry linked to the case is valued at $9,000. Scopes for the defense claim the items were bought for about $50 each.

The Navy, long a volunteer force, will start drafting sailors in November to replace KoreaWar expirations. A monthly call of about 10,000 through next April, rising to 56,000 by next summer, aims to lift total draft strength to 20,000 with the Army. Enlistees remain four years, draftees serve two. The Air Force plans to stay strictly volunteer despite losses as KoreaWar enrollments wind down. Selective Service will place draftees across services based on quota needs and examinations.
