Doctor Nervously Awaifs Trial In
Mercy Killing As Young Girl Tries
To Forget Ordeal Of Similar Case
Manchester, N. H., Feb. 17
(U.R) A 41-year-old doctor wait
ed nervously today in a two
story frame country home for
the beginning of his "mercy"
murder trial.
In another two-story frame
house in Stamford, Conn., a
honey-haired girl, half the doc
tor's age. tries to forget her
"mercy killing" trial.
Carol Ann Paight. the girl
who killed her cancer-tortured
father and was acquitted by a
iury of middle-aged parents,
;new what Dr. Hermann Nelson
Sander was going through.
"I certainly think everybody
is praying for him," Carol told
the United Press by telephone.
Bean Resting
"I know about his case, but I
haven't read too much about it
I'm trying not to read the pa
pers," she said. "I've been rest
ing." Carol said she didn't know
enough about the case of Dr.
Sander even to wish him good
luck. But the slim, tall college
senior, and the soft-spoken ath
letic general practitioner have a
common bond. They were paired
strangely in trials that have
brought the issue of euthana
sia "mercy death" out of the
abstract phrases of the pamph
let, the text book, the legislative
hall, and the pulpit and into the
quick arena of the courtroom.
Both were the center of world
attention. Both have been prais
ed, denounced; defended, at
tacked. Both have a good repu
tation among the home folks.
Both were charged by their
states with taking human life in
violation of the laws of God and
man.
On the lawn of the white
house in Stamford there is a
neatly lettered sign: "Carl

Held in Custody
Carol did not see her home
from the time she shot her father
until she was acquitted nearly
five months later, because mur
der is not a bailable offense in
her state. Dr. Sander, charged
with first degree murder, has
been free in $25,000 bail, an ac
tion rare in capital cases in his
state.
There was a report that when
the trial begins in superior court
at 10 a.m. Monday, the state will
ask that the defendant's bail be
discontinued and that he be re
arrested and kept in custody for
the duration of the trial. That
would be possible, although un
der the law the bail could be
continued until there is a ver
dict. Asked about the report, At
torney General William L. Phin
ney replied "Why should we?"
A member of the attorney gener
al's staff said he knew of no
plan for such action, but added
that "anything is .a possibility."

Gen. Clay Defends
Plans To Battle
Blockade By Reds
New York (U.R) Gen. Lu
cius D. Clay, then U. S. military
governor, proposed in 1948 that
the United States send an armed
convoy across the Soviet zone of
Germany to Berlin to break the
Soviet blockade of the city.
The U.S. government rejected
the proposal, according to Clay,
because of the risk that it might
provoke an armed conflict with
Russia.
Clay Confirms Rumor
Clay confirms his oft-rumored
blockade-breaking proposal for
the first time in "Decision in
Germany," his own story of his
fours years in the Reich, pub
lished by Doubleday.
He said he sent the proposal
to Washington on July 10, 1948,
less than three weeks after the
Soviets had clamped a complete
land - water blockade on Berlin
on the pretext of "technical dif
ficulties." By then, Clay said, he was
convinced that the Soviet gov
ernment did not want war, but
believed that the western allies
would yield much rather than
risk testing the Russian position
Suggestions Overruled
Said Clay:
"I reported this conviction to
our government, suggesting that
we advise the Soviet representa
tives in Germany that under
our rights to be in Berlin we
proposed on a specific date to
move in an armed convoy which
would be equipped with the en
gineering material to overcome
the technical difficulties which
the Soviet representatives ap
peared unable to solve.
"I made it clear that I under
stood fully the risk and its impli
cations ana mat tnis was a neci
I sion which could be made only
by the government.
No Convoy Passes
"No armed convoy could cross
the border without the possibil
ity of trouble. In my view, the
chances of such a convoy being
met by force with subsequent
developments of hostilities were
small. I was confident that it
would get through to Berlin and
that tne highway blockade
would be ended.
"W hen our government
turned down my suggestion, I
understood its desire to avoid
this risk of armed conflict until
the issue had been placed before
the United Nations. I shall el
ways believe that the convoy
would have reached Berlin."
