(P)—Shoulders was sentenced to Former Army Captain Charged With Torch Murder of Officers in 1946 FRANKFURT, Germany — The U. S. district attorney in Germany today formally charged former Army Capt. James M. Leech, Lima, O., with the unsolved, eight-year-old torch murders of three American officers. Dist. Atty. William D. Canfield, Springfield, Mass., issued warrant for Leech's arrest and extradition from the United States to face trial. The triple slaying has been one of the great unsolved mysteries of postwar Germany. At the time of the crime, a gigantic manhunt was staged. More than 1000 persons were interrogated and at one point the Army announced a U.S. Army officer probably would be arrested. But the investigation petered out and the crime never was solved. Says Case “Muddled” Canfield charged that military judicial “muddling” and the post-war chaos of Germany were responsible for the failure of Army authorities to prosecute. He said he is determined to bring the facts to light and make the criminal pay for his crime. The three victims were Maj. Everett S. Cofran (whose wife is now believed living in Seattle), Capt. Adrian L. Wessler, and 1st Lt. Stanley Mac A. Rosewater (parents last known as living in Omaha, Neb.). The specific charges against Leech were three counts of murder, three counts of intentional manslaughter and one count of varson—the last from attempts to cremate the bodies in gasoline after the three victims were killed or stunned with an ax. Canfield said an autopsy report showed Rosewater died from the ax blows. Smoke and soot found in the lungs of the other two indicated they were burned alive. Canfield said that jealousy of position, Leech’s interests in a Urge Voters to Cast Ballots for Local Trustee Candidates Today, election day in Anselm, will see registered voters casting their ballots until 7 p.m. In each of the seven consolidated precincts of the city, voters are urged to back their candidate by getting out a heavy vote.

The changes were believed to include the replacement of Gen. Henri-Eugene Navarre as supreme commander in Indochina and the rushing of 30,000 reinforcements to save the rich delta area. Gen. Paul Ely, French chief of staff here to survey the worsening crisis, was reported ready to tell the French government the entire Indochina strategy must be radically revised if anything in the north is to be saved. Reliable sources said Gen. Raoul Salan, former commander in Indochina, and Deputy Chief of Staff Gen. Pierre Pelissier, commander of the French air force in the north, seconded his emergency plan. While the generals held their top level meetings French pilots dropped a curtain of bombs machinegun bullets and blazing napalm across Highway 41 leading from Dien Bien Phu to the Red River delta. Returning air patrols said the advance had been halted at Moc Chau where advance units of the four Red divisions which conquered Dien Bien Phu arrived and an "insult" to their governments. The Georgia Democrat, who frequently calls the play for the southern wing of his party, said he will take the floor against the proposed constitutional amendment when it comes up for formal Senate debate today. The proposal was a feature of President Eisenhower's State of the Union address. It has the strong support of other administration leaders including Vice President Richard M. Nixon. Senate Republican Leader William F. Knowland (Calif) said he has not "counted noses" on support for the proposal which simply forbids any state to deny voting rights to anyone who is 18 years-old or older. Russell would not predict the stand-to-be taken by other southners. But he aid: "I cannot conceive of any man who is sincere in his protestations for states rights voting for this amendment." Russell's statement was taken as a strong indication that the amendment will have the considerable opposition of southern Democrats, some of whom are already smarting over the Supreme Court's ruling against segregation in schools. President Eisenhower, and other administration leaders, have taken the view that a man who is old enough to fight for his country is old enough to vote for its administrators. Russell and his colleagues contend that this is not the issue. They point out that the Constitution specifies that voters in federal elections shall have the same qualifications as are required in elections for the most numerous house of the state legislature.

Santa Anan Shoots Self With Revolver SANTA ANA — Apparently despondent since his wife's death three years ago and despairing of a long seige of illness, Vernon Greve, 62, shot himself about 2:25 p.m. yesterday. He died at 6:10 p.m. at Orange County General hospital. Police said that he used a .32 caliber revolver and that the bullet investigating Subcommittee demanded today that all monitored telephone calls in the Army-McCarthy fight be made public. Their statement plunged the group into a new controversy over the records of conversations in the dispute—scheduled to be publicly aired again Monday. Seas. Stuart Symington (Mo.), Henry M. Jackson (Wash.) and John L. McClellan (Ark.) gave their consent to the use of any transcripts of telephone calls in which they took part—but only if all calls in the case were made public. In effect, their move was a challenge to the four Republican subcommittee members and to Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis.) and the Army to do the same thing. The Democrats spurned an agreement already signed by McCarthy and the Republicans which would give consent only for the records to be shown to counsel for the subcommittee and both sides of the fight, without making them public. Meanwhile an informed source said McCarthy now plans to testify whenever he is called. The Wisconsin Republican said only that "I'll be there Monday" when the hearings before the Senate Investigating Subcommittee are slated to resume. He has bitterly protested President Eisenhower's order for bidding testimony about a high level administration conference last Jan. 21 on the Army-McCarthy row. In his latest blast at the secrecy order, McCarthy said "I don't like to see" the executive branch take the Fifth Amendment about the meeting... Symington's demand that all monitored telephone conversations in te case be made public appeared a clear challenge to the four subcommittee Republicans and to Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy and his ales. They have agreed to let Special Counsel Ray H. Jenkins and the subcommittee look over transcripts of monitored calls in which they took part to determine which should be put into the record. But their plan would require new consent of parties involved before the transcripts could be made public. At stake in the dispute are records the Army made of calls by McCarthy and his staff to Army Secretary Robert T. Stevens allegedly seeking special treatment for Pvt. G. David Schine, a drafted former McCarthy aide. Symington agreed to the publication of any calls he may have made touching on the dispute pro- An Air Force statement that atomic power plants, now in research stage, will revolutionize air war and air transport to a star greater degree than the jet engine.

SANTA ANA — Apparently despondent since his wife's death three years ago and despairing of a long seige of illness, Vernon Greve, 62, shot himself about 2:25 p.m. yesterday. He died at 6:10 p.m. at Orange County General hospital. Police said that he used a .32 caliber revolver and that the bullet went through his head and emerged from the opposite temple. Despite the severity of the wound he lingered in a coma for almost four hours before death claimed him. Greve lived with his sister, Mrs. Leo Holland, of 931 Orange Ave. Anaheim Union High School Students Presented Honors For Past Year at Impressive Annual Awards Assembly More than a score of students at Anaheim Union High School were honored yesterday before a general assembly of the student body with annual awards for various accomplishments.

K. Wines, president of the Northern Orange County Panhellenic organization, presented to Avis Jorgenson a $250 scholarship awarded by that group. Acting on behalf of Donald Scott, chairman of the Faculty Club should be put into the record. But their plan would require new consent of parties involved before the transcripts could be made public. At stake in the dispute are records the Army made of calls by McCarthy and his staff to Army Secretary Robert T. Stevens allegedly seeking special treatment for Pvt. G. David Schine, a drafted former McCarthy aide. Symington agreed to the publication of any calls he may have made touching on the dispute provided all principals and others involved in the fight do likewise. He and his two Democratic colleagues previously held out against signing any consent on grounds McCarthy should first agreee to publication of the calls he made to the Army.
