Prosecution Agrees
To Drop Charges on
Shooting by Pastor
; Blairsville, Ga. (U.R) The
prosecution agreed Saturday to
drop murder charges against a
'preacher who shot to death his
, hunting companion, preached the
man's funeral, then waited a
week before confessing to the
killing.
Atty. Jack Tarpley told Urft
ted Press the dead man's brother
who swore out a murder war
rant against the Rev. Carl Brew
er, was withdraing it "after con
sideration and investigation be
cause he believes the killing was
accidental and could not be
helped."
Preached at Funeral
V; Brewer, 46, was arrested Fri
day on the strength of the war
rant a few hours after he con
fessed through Tarpley that he
accidentally killed Alvin Towe,
40, Nov. S while shooting at a
-squirrel.-Brewer preached the,
farmer's funeral last 'Monday
with the assistance of Guy Brad
ley. - Tarpley, Brewer's lawyer, said
Hershel Twet who swore out
the warrant, spent some time
' with Brewer in his jail cell and
came out convinced the shoot
ing was accidental. "They were
very friendly," Tarpley said.
A coroner's hearing in the
death of Towe, the father of
eight children, was tentatively
set for 10 a.m. Saturday but the
attorney said early Saturday that
it "looks now like the hearing
; will be called off.

uel H. Sheppard could have
murdered his wife.
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.
Sheppard, who claimed he
suffered head injuries in the
scuffle, told a friend earlier this
year that head injuries could be
easily feigned "because there is
no way to determine if they're
real."

Reds Invite Nehru
To Visit Moscow;
Hopes To Make Trip
New Delhi (U.R) Prime
Minister Jawaharlal Nehru said
Saturday he had received an of
ficial invitation to visit Moscow
but had been unable to accept it
immediately.
He told a press conference he
received the invitation before
his recent visit to the Chinese
Communist capital of Peiping
and was forced to reply that he
was unable to set a date because
of that visit and his occupation
with Parliament.
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.
More than 1,000 delegates at
the UAW's national economic
and collective bargaining conner-
ence voted Friday to seek a guar
antee of 52 weeks of work a
year, or else comparable pay for
idle weeks, for all workers with
two years' seniority.
Long Term Pacts
At the same time, the delegates
agreed that long-term contracts
should be discontinued in favor
of one and two-year contracts,
Most of the 1,000,000 auto work
ers have been covered by five
year contracts in recent years.
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.
Baltimore Police
Question Suspect
In Girl's Murder
Baltimore, Md. (U.R) Po
lice Saturday questioned a 27
year-old electrician identified as
"Lefty" in the murder of Caro
lyn Wasilewski, 14-year-old high
school student whose partly
clothed body was found sprawl
ed on a railroad track Tuesday.
Police said the electrician was
a friend of the much-dated, jazz
loving girl but indicated his
questioning may be only rou
tine. No Promising Leads
"No leads in the case look
promising," Detective C a p t
George Mintiens said.
. Funeral services for the slain
girl were held Friday at St. Pet
ers Catholic church with girl
friends serving as pallbearers.
Police previously questioned
and released a 27-year-old man
identified as "The Eye," and a
23-year-old Washington . truck
driver in the case, plus a number
of "drapes," young men who
have duck-tail hair cuts and
wear loose blouses and tight
trousers. Carolyn's parents, who
described their daughter . as
problem child who "was asking
for it," believe she was killed
by a "drape."
Man Found Hanged
Police said they still had not
ruled out the possibility that
Ralph Garrett, 45, who was
found hanged to death from a
railroad car near where Caro
lyn's body was discovered, may
have been implicated. The Bal
timore city medical examiner
has ruled his death a "presumed
suicide."

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.
He said this decrease, coupled
with treatment by regular in
jections of antibiotics to guard
against a recurrence of thedis
ease in past victims, indicates
rheumatic fever may virtually
disappear in the next 20 years.
