All-Out Drive On
Crime Outlined
At Parley
By MARVIN L, AftROWSMITII
DENVER tffi President Kisen
hower approved Fiiday a major
program designed to stimulate r.n
overall attack on crime in tus
country.
The campaign was outlined to
the Chief Executive by Atty. den.
Brownell in a 2.Vminute confer
ence in Eisenhower's hospital
room.
Browncll disclosed the program
A a news conference in which he
refused lo discuss whether he
thought President Eisenhower
would run again since he said he
thought it would lie "entirely in
appropriate" at this time.
The judicial program for the
fiscal year 1!."6. which Browncll'
said the President approved,
would call for:
I Legislation making it a
"criminal offense" to invade the
privacy of a jury while it is de
liberating on a case. This grew
out of developments during a re
cent trial in Wichita, Kan.
Construction of a nine million
dollar "maximum custody" prison
in the Midwest to house criminals
of the type now sent lo Alcalraz,
Leavenworth and Atlanta: and of
a $7,500,000 institution west of the :
Mississippi River for the treat
ment and imprisonment of youth-
ftil offenders similar to those from
the East now housed at Ashland,
Kv.
3 Appointment of public defend -
rrs in every federal d'strict, eith-
er on a full-salaried or a part-!
time basis to give federal defend -
ants assurance of proper legal
fense.
4 Legislation creating about 20
additional judgeships to help cut
down the backlog of pending crim-
inal and civil cases in the federal
courts.

Boys' Deaths
y
CHICAGO tf The owner of
a truck containing a collection of
stained tools was cleared Friday
of any connection with the brutal
slaying of three Chicago grade
school boys.
Sheriil Joseph Lohman announced
Edward Rohlfes? 47, had taken a
he detector test and could shed
no light on the triple slaying that
has baffled police since the boys'
nude, strangled and beaten bodies
were found Tuesday.
Ron If os and his deaf mute broth
er, Herman, 52, had been picked
up for questioning after a forest
ranger reported seeing a panel
truck bearing the name "Rohlfes"
Monday night in Robinson Woods.
The brothers said they had slept
in the truck in the woods Monday
night near the ditch where the
bodies were found dumped.
While Kdward was undergoing
the lie test, the truck was put to
a minute examination by sheriff's
officers. Lohmaji said his men
found a 3 x 5 foot quilt with stains
that might have been made by
blood, a 3-foot iron crowbar, a
claw hammer and a can opener
stuck with strands of what ap
peared to be hair.
, The contents of the truck were
'sent to the crime laboratory for
scientific insDeetion.
Lohman had his deputies and
forest rangers drag the Des
piaines River for a half a mile
on either side of the spot where
the bodies were found. He said
the killers may have tossed the
lads' clothing in the river,
Victims of the shocking .''rime
were Robert Peterson. 14: .John
schuessler, 13, and his brother,
Anton, Jr., 11. They disappeared
after telling their parents they
going downtown Sunday ati-
Crnoon to a movie.

The sheriff said his brother would
be detained without charge pend-
(ing a complete examination of the
truck contents.

Disarmament Commission.
He accused the commission of
attempting to delay a report -n,
disarmament debates of its big
nation subcommittee. Further de
lays would be harmful, he said.
'it has been alleged that dis
cussion of disarmament here would
interfere with or prevent discus
sion by Ihe Big Four ministers."
Sobolev said. "But disarmament
was a major topic of all the gen
eral policy statements in the As
sembly, Every member of th
United Nations has the right to
debate this subject."

thai President Eisenhower's "open

to disarmament,
Under that plan, the United
States and the Soviet Union would
exchange aerial reconnaissance
and defense blue prints to pre
vent surprise attack. ,
Sobolev told the commission
composed of the 11 Security Coun
cil members and Canada that
everybody agrees on the necessity
of measures to avert surprise at
tack.
That, together with closeness of
agreement on the necessity of re
ducing armed forces, and the ne

make it desirable to open the dis-

Henry Cabot Lodge Jr.. chief

Harold E. Stnssen, his deputy in
the subcommittee talks, is accom
panying Secretary of Slate Dullr.1
to Paris for preliminary Big Four

Sobolcv's statement unveiled
some of the mystery behind his
request last week for an urgent
meeting of the commission.
Sir Leslie Munro, New Zealand-
er who is also chairman of tha
Assembly Political Committee,
quickly protested the Soviet re
quest. He said the commission rould
not give the General Assembly an
intelligent report on the disarma
ment discussions until it had
studied Ihe verbatim reports from
Ihe 47 closed meetings of the sub
committee. The meetings began in
London last spring and resumed
here Aug. 20 on the instructions
of the Big Four summit meeting.
The reports made a pile of docu
ments a foot and a half high on
