Autopsy
Point To
Of Estes
WASHINGTON (AP) Official
investigative sources said today
that evidence in the Billie Sol Es
tes case points toward persons
'pretty darn high up" in Wash
ington under both the Kennedy and
Eisenhower administrations.
The informants, who declined to
be identified or to elaborate, told
in separate interviews that infor
mation has been uncovered indicat
ing bigger names may be involved
than any reported so far in the
investigation of the indicted fi
nancier's alleged influence deals
with government officials.
A grimmer probe into a myster
ious death a year ago struck
sparks in Franklin, Tex., Tuesday.
After a partial autopsy, a medi
cs! examiner indicated lie believes
Henry Marshall, an Agriculture
Department agent who investigat
ed Estes' farm operations, was
murdered.
Death Not Suicide
The Harris County medical ex
aminer, Dr. Joseph Jachimczyk,
said he felt "strongly at this time
that this is not a suicide."
The complete autopsy report, he
said, will be available later this
week after laboratory tests.
Marshall, 52, was found dead
June 3, 1961, shot five times with
a bolt-action .22 rifle. He was bur
ied without an autopsy, his death
officially sealed as a suicide.
When the Estes case flashed into
national prominence authorities
turned again to Marshall's death.
Marshall, as chief of production
adjustment for the Texas Agricul
tural Stabilization and Conserva
tion Office, had been investigating
Estes' collecting of cotton allot
ments an operation the Agricul
ture Department now says was
illegal.
Body Exhumed
Marshall'! body was taken from
its grave for an autopsy by what
was described as a "whole team of
experts."
After the autopsy, Dist. Atty.
Russians Halt
Berlin Convoy
BERLIN (AP) The Russians
today halted an outbound U.S.
Army convoy for almost six hours
in their first interference with
Berlin traffic since tensions over
the divided city eased in March.
U.S. authorities promptly lodged
I strong protest and the Soviets
allowed the convoy to continue on
its way to Grafenwoehr, in West
Germany, for a tank firing ex
ercise.
There was no immediate indica
tion whether the incident meant
the Soviets were turning on the
heat again. The last previous So
viet harassment, in March, had
been in the air corridors linking
Communist-surrounded Berlin to
West Germany.
Later in the day, a U.S. Army
lupply convoy heading for Berlin
pa""! through the soviet check
points without delay.
The U.S. protest was sent to
Mai. Gen, Andrei I. Solovyev, So
viet commander in Berlin.
The convoy consisted of four
trucks, two trailers and 26 soldiers
of Co. F of the U.S. 49th Armor.
The Soviets complained that no
advance notice had been given.
The convoy commander said no
tice was unnecessary, although it
is sometimes given as a matter of
courtesy.

Pentagon Hints
Missile Sites
For West Coast
WASHINGTON (AP) The
Pentagon said Tuesday it will in
vestigate the possibility of install
ing Minuteman Missile launching
bases in Oregon and three other
Western states. '
The survey will be along the
Oregon coast, the Pentagon said.
Rep. Walter Norblad, R-Ore.,
said the Air Force told him it
wanted a site in an unpopulated
area, as close to the ocean as
possible.
Also under consideration, Nor
blad said, are Darts of the Wash
ington and California coast and
an area in New Mexico.
The Mjnutcman, an 80 - foot,
three-stage, solid propellant mis
sile, packs a nuclear warhead
and has a range of 6,300 miles,
the Air Force said.
Norblad said the Air Force told
him the ruggedness of the Ore
gon Coast would not be an ob
stacle. Boeing Co. of Seattle is the
prime contractor on the missile
and a West Coast site would be
handy to that company, Norblad
added.

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP)
A U.S. Embassy representative
has been sent to Titograd to help
two American girls who lost their

Yugoslav guards.
One of the girls Patricia John

last Saturday eight.
Her companion was identified
by the embassy as Rosewitha

There was a possibility that
even if this smoke did not pre
vent the blast-off, it might cut the
number; of .orbits, tiy delaying the
launch. The sky must be relative
ly clear in the launch area so
cameras can trace the rocket.
An announcement from the Na
tional Aeronautics and Space Ad
ministration said: "It is expected
that visibility n.ay be improved
sufficiently by midmorning that
limited camera capability can be
attained.
If the launch is delayed much
past 9:30 a.m. EST, the number
of orbits would have to be cut
from three to two, in order to give
recovery teams sufficient day
light to spot the capsule in the
ocean. Officials insist on three
hours of daylight for this task.
The experts planned to take an
other reading on the smoke situa
tion before picking up the count
down around midnight.
Carpenter, whose flight has
been postponed four times for
technical reasons, was reported at
the top of his form and eager to
go.

Prosecutors Ask
Death For Solan
PARIS (AP) The prosecution
today demanded the death sen
tence for ex-Gen. Raoul Salan, on
trial before a special military
court on charges of treason.
Andre Gavalda, the prosecutor,
made the demand in a two-hour
statement as the seven-day trial
neared its end.
A verdict is expected lata to
night.
"I had hoped that you 'would
renounce your approval of vio
lence," Gavalda said, speaking to
Salan. "I had hoped you would
speak a word for conciliation" be
tween Europeans and Moslems in
Algeria.
"Alas! You kept silent.
Under the cirrumstanccs, Ga
valda said, he could find no rea
son in his heart to call for a
lighter penalty.
Gavalda looked directly at Sa
lan. Salan sat in the prisoner's
box, flanked by four somber-faced
guards, and showed no emotion.
Salan is on trial for his part In
the April 1961 putsch In Algiers,
and on charges of leading the Se
cret Army Organization after the
uprising collapsed.
A special nine-man military tri
bunal may impose the death pen
alty. The same court passed such
a sentence on ex-ben. tdmona
Jouhaud on conviction of similar
charges. Jouhaud is now in a
death row cell.
Only executive clemency by
