partment and the foreign aid
agency told the United Press that
now "the American aid program
to Israel is being resumed.

j ! Hypnosis Fails
To Brine New
Clues in Case
Police After Identity
. Of Driver in SF
Hit and Run
SAN FRANCISCO First
attempts by a psychiatrist to
question witnesses under hypnosis
have failed to yield any new clues
to the brutal hit-run slaying of a
ban francisco man.
The doctor, who insisted he re
main unnamed as a condition for
doing the work, Friday told po
lice further efforts "might pro
duce befter results." ''
Lloyd V. Stephens, 62, was
struck down at a San Francisco :
intersection and dragged 1,200
feet by a car. The car's path was
traced in blood as the driver
sought to dislodge the body by
alternately speeding up and slam
ming on the brakes.
home fifty horrified persons
saw the grisly episode.
One witness, Bonifacio bilverio.
gave police a partial license num
ber. He was one of four persons
questioned under hypnosis by the
doctor, who sought to discover the
entire number -from Silverio's sub
conscious mind.
Cornelius Lynch, a city fireman.
who chased the car in vain, also
was questioned.
Police Lt. Ldward Moody said
the questioning revealed "no sig-;
nificant new information." j
Dr. Wilson Van Duesen, chief
psychologist at Mendocino State
Hospital, suggested the use of
hypnosis in a letter to Lt. Moody, j
He said he thought witnesses saw1
everything but focused their at
tention on the dying man.
Hut it Is a matter of atten
tion," he said. "They centered on
what was happening to the man.
They also registered other facts
of what was going on, but they
were probably rather vague. Hyp
nosis would aid in the complete
recall of what happened."
Dr. Wilson said that because
"the scene is so vivid and so im
portant" to witnesses the ques
tioning is likely to be successful.
Iran Not to Permit Any Foreign Bases
TEHRAN, Iran W The Iran
ian government has promised
Russia that Iran will not permit
the United States or any other
foreign country to establish mili
tary bases in Iran, though it will
continue to accept American mili
tary aid.
A Foreign Ministry spokesman
confirmed Saturday the assurance
was gien to a Soviet delegation
headed by Deputy Foreign Min
ister Vassily V. huzneisov.
Kuznetsov said Friday on his
return to Moscow that Iran had
promised not to take part "in any
movement which is aimed against
Soviet security." ' ,
The Foreign Ministry spokes
man said "Iran has assured the
Soviet delegation that no milhanj
or atomic base will be given lii
Irani to any foreign country
clnHine the United Slal
He added that neither RunYl
Ilniftwl Cli,.,.. 1
iiui u,c vinn-M uiaica nas asked
Iran for permission to set up such
a base, "but Iran undoubted,
will continue to receive militant
aid from the United Stain. " '
man said the foasic decision to re
sume aid had been made, and
that American and Israeli offi
cials are discussing details here
and at Tel Aviv.
Returu Authorized
The foreign aid spokesman said
American aid personnel" have
been authorized to return to Is
rael." He estimated that more
than six Americans already are i
back at their jobs on agriculture,
health, sanitation, education, com
munications and other aid projects.
Aid to Jordan and Lebanon was
cut off in October. There was no
ndication of resumption of aid to
those countries.
Officials said the amount of Is
raeli aid for this year has not
been finally decided. But the Unit
ed States before the October in
vasion had earmarked about 23
million dollars for aid to Israel
during the current fiscal year
ending June 30. Only $400,000 of
this had been allocated to Israeli
aid projects.

Shot Through
Church 'Pane'
Murders Girl
COVE, Ark. Wl Moments aft
er pretty Helen Griffith left a
choir and went to a pew in a
church here last night, six pistol
shots blasted the Holy Week serv
ice and -the 20-year-old girl fell
fatally wounded in the aisle.
The shots were fired through a
window of the Hilltop Holiness
Church in this west Arkansas
mountain town. Another member
of the congregation, a 61-year-old,
man. was wounded in the left leg
during the firing.
Flees in Truck
Several persons rushed to the
door in time to see a man leap
into a pickup truck and flee.
Little more than an hour later,
officers here were notified that
Haskell Sullivan, 25, a rejected
suitor of the dead girl, had killed
himself in front of his brother's
house at Nano Chito. Okla., 20
miles from Cove.
Sheriff's officers of McCurtain
County. Okla.. said Sullivan's body
was found in his pickup truck out
side the home of J. L. Sullivan.
He had been shot between the
eyes with a .22 pistol, apparently
the same weapon which killed
Miss Griffith, officers reported.
Sullivan left a note. It said:
"1 killed Helen and I'm going
with her."
OKicers said the blonde, blue
eyed girl was shot twice in the
face and twice in the back.
