Estes Probe Needs A Tale
Only Marshall Could Tell
WASHINGTON (UPI) Dead
men tell no tales, in the words
of the old truism, and the Sen
ale's Billie Sol Estes inquiry had
reason to regret it today.
Needed is the tale that could
be told by the late Henry H.
Marshall, former cotton program
specialist for the Agriculture De
partment's Agricultural Stabiliza
tion and Conservation (ASC) of
fice in Texas.
It was Marshall whose June,
1961 death from gunshot wounds
in Texas was first ruled a sui
cide. Recently, as a result of the
Estes case, the finding was re
viewed by a grand jury which
failed to reach a decision.

Department attorney Howard
Rooney said the committees ap
proved the transfer of cotton al

department regulation to examin

Rooney said that the commit

ask for sale contracts.

Marshall was doing his job to the
best of his ability and rejected
any suggestion that his conduct
was improper. They said they be

Documents Are Confusing
Documents in the case are con

issued in April reported that
Marshall told a group of county
commiltteemen in February 1961
that a deed and a certification of
a bona fide transaction were all
that was required to support a
transfer application.
Later that month, however, the
department sent out an insert for
the handbooks of county commit
tees which clearly stated that
"all pertinent documents" were
to be presented for examinations
by county committees.
The subcommittee was in re

Soblen's Lawyers
Mapping Strategy
LONDON (UPIV Dr. Robert
A. Soblen's lawyers today were
mapping strategy for the legal
battle to block his return to the
United States where he faces a
life sentence for spying for Rus
sia during World War II.
The 62-year-old Lithuanian-born
psychiatrist appealed Friday for
political asylum after his lawyers
succeeded in obtaining a writ of
habeas corpus. A home office
spokesman said the plea for asy
lum "was under consideration."
The writ was obtaines shortly
before doctors pronounced Soblen
well enough to be moved from
the hospital where he was recov
ering from a suicide attempt
made aboard an El Al Israel
plane flying him to New York
last Sunday.
Dressed in red pajamas and
wrapped in a red blanket, Soblen
was transferred Friday night
from Hillingdon Hospital to the
Brixton Prison, once a lockup for
debtors. He presumably will re
main there until the Home Office
rules on his request and the court
hearing July 17 on the habeas
corpus writ.
Soblen covered his face lwth his
hands still bandaged from his sui
cide attempt as he was carried on
a stretcher from the hospital to a
waiting ambulance. Two plain
clothes policemen rode in the am
bulance from the hospital to the
prison.
"I feel rough, but I have
hopes," were Soblen's parting
words.
Soblen, who is suffering from
lymphatic leukemia blood can

hospital ward, according to pris

Police Get Break
In Kidnap-Slaying
TORRANCE, Calif. (UPI) Po
lice laboratory technicians today
worked on the first "major break"
in the ki'loap slaving of 11-vear-
old Dorothy Gale Brown, a white
candy-striped dress and pink hair
ribbon. -
The apparel was discovered in
side a beer can floating off Hunt
ington Beach by the daughter of
Mrs. Richard Shanklin. The wom
an washed the dress before she
heard of the Brown slaying.
But officers said it may be pos
sible to get fingerprints from the
hair band.
The nude body of the child who
never returned from a bicycle
ride Tuesday was discovered the
following day in the ocean off
Corona Del Mar, Calif. The beach
is about 30 miles south of her
home here.
"We have felt all long that the
recovery of Dorothy Gale s attire,
or any portion of it, would help
immeasurably in tracing Uie slay
er, said Police Chief Percy G
Bennett.
The dress was in perfect condi
tion. Its four buttons were intact.
But police have failed to find the
child s underclothing.
Police, going on the assumption
that the child was kidnaped and
then slain, theorize that the body
may have been dumped from a
boat. But officers are more prone
to think an automobile was used.
"We believe the kidnaper drove
the little girl to Corona Del Mar,
dumped her body in the ocean and
then drove north," said Bennett.
The killer probably disposed of the
clothing during several stops along
the highway, he added.

Iron Workers Strike Factions
Draw Criticism From Governor
SALEM, Ore. (UPI) Gov. Mark
Hatfield, in strongly worded, iden
tical telegrams, late Friday criti
cized both management and labor
for their inability to settle the
prolonged ironworkers' strike.
The six-week-old dispute has
tied up millions of dollars worth
of projects in Oregon and South
west Washington.
Hatfield said that thousands of,
persons idled in related industries i
are "innocent victims" of the
deadlock and "their suffering is
at the breaking point."
He challenged representatives
of the Ironworkers Union and As
sociated General Contractors to
resume negotiations and stay in
session until a settle mcnt is
reached.
"Again my office is available
for whatever purpose it may
serve," he said. "No one respon
sible for this stoppage deserves
to sleep while others suffer."
The telegrams went to John
O'Halloran, business representa
tive of the ironworkers in Port
land, and to William Harding, of
the AGC in Portland.
"The people of Oregon have
shown some tolerance and pa
tience as the process of collec
tive bargaining has run its nor
mal course and broken down,"
Hatfield said.
"It is inconcenivable that either
side would refuse to meet with
federal negotiators to continue de
liberations which mean so much
to so many citizens throughout
this area. This is no time for
prejudices, pettiness and person
alities to block attempts to reach
an agreement," he said.
"I appeal to responsible leader
ship and interested citizens to
persuade the parties concerned to
resume negotiations and stay in
session until a settlement is reach
ed," Hatfield said.
A spokesman for Associated
General Contractors said the or
ganization was in "full agree
ment" with the governor.
A. II. Harding, Portland, said
the employer group's negotiating
committee has "been standing by
since Tuesday, July 3, willing to
meet day or night. . "
Harding said the AGC has asked
"not once, but several times" tho
to "use their influence in getting
Secretary Goldberg to intercede."
