Testimony until now has come from friends of the 30-year-old osteopath-surgeon and a young police officer, Bay Village pa trolman Fred Drenkhan. Surprises Planned ) Assistant county prosecutor John J. Mahon admitted the state's case rested heavily on testimony from the profession al investigators. "We hope to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Dr. Sheppard did it," he said. "These witnesses will be our "big artillery.' We have some surprises for the defense." . Sheppard has said his preg nant wife, Marilyn, 31, was killed by a pre-dawn intruder last July 4. He said her screams for help awoke him as he lay on a living room couch. He was at tacked by the intruder as he reached the head of the stairs to her bedroom, he said, and later knocked unconscious again when he grappled with the "bushy-haired" man on the Lake' Erie beach behind their subur ban home. The state contends Sheppard committed the murder after he argued with his wife over at tentions to other women. Testimony Outlined The first six witnesses have testified that: ........ There was no evidence of forcible entry into the Sheppard house. Dr. Sam" discussed divorc ing his wife earlier this year. The beach behind the. home where Sheppard says , he wrestled - with the intruder, showed no footprints.

Hopes To Go "But sometime or other I hope to go there," he said. At his press conference Nehru also said the Chinese Commu nists were more concerned with the Nationalist-held islands just off the mainland than they were with Formosa itself. '. Nehru said ' the Communists believed the presence of For mosan troops on the islands con stituted a major threat to the mainland. Dangerous Menace "They pointed out to me how dangerous a menace it was for them, how they bombard and carry out aerial flights and throw bombs sometimes and how all their coastal shipping is severely interfered with, not only theirs but others. "In fact, they gave me a state ment giving the names of ships and dates. It was a long state ment and T could see that 90 per cent of the ships mentioned there were British ships." .

CiO Aufo Workers Agree on Demands For Annual Wages Detroit (U.R) The tlO United Auto Workers were set tled Saturday on demanding" a guaranteed annual wage as tneir No. 1 bargaining issue next year when current five-year contracts with the automobile industry run out.

Those pacts start running out late next spring. Delegates to the national con f erence approved the entire slate of recommendations drafted by President Walter P. Reuther and members of the UAW's interna tional executive board. Other demands which will be put to Ford, General Motors, Chrysler and other auto makers next year include raises of at least 10.3 cents an hour, higher pensions, hospital benefits to be paid entirely by the companies, changes in holiday and week end pay scales and inclusion of "cost- of-living" bonuses in effect at the time of the contract signing in the permanent wage scale. Cost Estimates ' It was estimated the total cost of the UAW package would range upward from 40 cents an hour although union officials themselves placed no hourly price tag on it. Negotiations with General Motors and Ford will start soon. The General Motors contract ex pires May 29 and Ford's contract runs out June 1. Chrysler's con tract continues until Aug. 31.

V Rantz pointed out that treat ment of these infections with penicillin and other potent an tibiotics has proved highly ef fective and probably is partially responsible for the steady de crease in rheumatic fever pa tients during the past 20 years.
