In Dallas, Freeze said the charges
are "absolutely untrue. He said
he had given RFC several months
notice of his resignation, effective
last September 28, and except for
. drawing accumulated annual leave
salary, to which he was entitled,
, he was no longer associated wiui

2 Men Found
Dead in U.S.
HAVANA, Cuba, June lS-flP)-
A U. S. Marine sergeant and a
Cuban night watchman were shot
to death in the United States
! embassy early today.
Dr. Jose Diaz Padron, chief of
; Havana's police crime laboratory,
- said tonight that "the scientific
facts now available all indicate
: this was a- case of murder aiai
: suicide that the marine sergeant
' shot the watclynan, then killed
, himself. . , . '
The American embassy did net
disclose any information as to
! how. when or why the two men
; were shot.
Victims of the double shooting
; were identified as Marine Set.
: Robert James Sheldon, 22, and
Augustin Fernandez, 67, for 20
' ; years a night watchman in the
. Horter building housing the em
; bassy offices. They were shot
sometime between the hours of
1 a. m. and 5:45 a. m.
' The police said Sheldon's own
gun had been fired twice and
that a paraffin test of his hands
. showed he had discharged fire
arms recently. Ballistic tests were
: being made.
Or. Padron said his murder
suicide theory was "based on the
lack of any evidence that a third
person was present, on the phy
sical evidence at the scene, and
. scientific evidence that the ser
' ceant recently had fired a gun.
Of the motives, we know nothing,
A brief embassy announcement
: said the two men were found
: dead when the building was open
: ed this morning and that robbery
i -apparently was not the motive. In
Washington the state department
said no government papers had
- been stolen.-

captured heights commanding a
red staging and buildup area about
20 miles north of parallel 38 in

allies seized heights i for which

Alley" just south of the Manchur-
ian border in two : spectacular
actions Monday. Five Russian
built Migs were shot down and
two damaged without loss or dam
age to the '.Fifth air force planes.
In one scrap the odds were 16
Migs to four U. S. Sabres, but the
speedy 186 s escaped without
harm.
