Extradition of
Pair Aslied iir
Holohan Case
VERBANIA, Italy. Aug. 2S-WV
The Verbania court requested to
day the extradition of two former
U. S. army behind-the-lines agents
for trial here on charges that they
took part in the murder of OSS
MaJ. William Holohan, their cc
mender on a secret mission in
world war IL
Court officials said the two. far
mer LL Aldo I card! of Freakness,
N. J and former Sgt. Carlo Lo-
Dolce of Rochester, N. Y., wiU be
tried here anyway In absentia if
red tape prevents their extradi
tion. They were accused formally
of "participating in murder, par
ticipation in robbery, and partici
pation in hiding the body of Major
Holohan" who was slain in parti'
san-beid territory of north Italy
in 1944. , ' v
The U. S. defense department
has said the two former service
men did sway with the major in
a plot motivated partly by Holo-
han's reluctance to arm communist
bands among the partisans. Both
nave emphatically denied the ac
cusatlon. .
A trial in absentia would be
largely for the record. A person
convicted in such a hearing
subject to punishment only if he
comes to Italy. The maximum
sentence In Italy Is Imprisonment
since this country abolished capi
tal punishment for ordinary crimes
in 1944 and for political crimes In
1943. -
Court officials here said they
could not predict how long
might take the extradition request
to reach Washington. President
Truman would have to sign
orders before the men could
the
be
sent to Italy. American courts,
both military and civil, lack juris
diction in the case.

Wild Birds
WASHINGTON, Aug. 28 -LW-
Surgeon General Leonard A.
Scheele said today federal research
workers have confirmed that wild
birds harbor the virus of sleeping
sickness,
Dr. Scheele said birds have been
suspected for many years, but now
their role has been definitely
proven for the first time.
. The public health service said
in a statement the virus of the dis
ease,- technically known as en
cephalitis, was found in redwing
blackbirds, magpies, mosquitoes
and. mites In tests conducted at
Greeley. Cola
Dr. T. Aiden Cockburn, head of
the federal agency's communlca
ble disease center at Kansas City,
Kan- who directed the experi
ment, said wild birds harboring
the virus do not. become "sick.1
Instead, he said, they serve as
carriers from which mosquitoes
can acquire the virus.
Human beings become infected
aner being bitten by the mos
quitoes. Horses stricken with the
same disease are described as a!
flirted with the "blind staggers,'
Dr. Cockburn said.
