Adenauer Expects
To Visit Moscow
Around September
Bonn. U. Chancellor
Xonrad Adenauer expects to go
to Moscow in September provid
ing the Russians clear up a
few points first, according to
Bonn government sources.
The Bonn government be
lieves the Russians are gen
uinely anxious to get Adenauer
to Moscow and feel and the next
move is up to them, the sources
said.
Propose Talks
In a note to the Soviets on
Thursday, the chancellor agreed
to discuss setting up normal re
lations with Moscow. He did not
mention the Soviet invitation
to him personally to visit Mos
cow. Instead, he proposed "infor
mal" talks between the West
German and Russian ambassa
dors in Paris to "clarify" a
number of questions before
hand. Officials here said it now is
up to the Russians to accept or
reject the idea for such pre
liminary talks.
The West German government
took the line that any sign of
servility in Adenauer's reply
would have been fatal and that
his starchy, non-committal re
ply was the only possible one.
Issues Not Listed
Andenauer's reply did not
spell out the issues he wanted
"clarified" before he commits
himself. It was known, how
ever, he wants the Soviets to
agree:
1. To announce release of
thousands of German war pris
oners and civilian internees
from Soviet slave labor camps
during his Moscow stay.
2. Not to insist on West Ger
man recognition of the Soviet
sponsored East German Com
munist regime. -.
3. Not to insist on recogni
tion of the Oder-Niesse line as
Germany's eastern frontier.

Dr. Sam Sheppard Claimed Changed
an as Conviction Appeal Awaited
Editor's Note: One year has passed
since the strange and brutal murder
or Dr. Samuel H. Sheppard's young
wife. Marilyn, at the couple's com
fortable lakeside home at Bay Vil
lage, O. During that year Dr.Sbep
pard has been arrested, tried, and
convicted. His family, his career and
his way of life have disintegrated.
The story of the events of that year
are told in the following dispatch by
Richard Fales of the Cleveland bureau
of United Press who has covered the
case since its beginning.
By RICHARD FALES '
United Press Correspondent
Cleveland, O. (U.R) It was
the evening before July 4. A
midwestern family gathered in
the living room of their comfor
table lakeside home. They had
planned an outing for the com
ing holiday. " ' '
. This night the young couple
entertained visitors . . . neigh
bors from a few doors away.
Upstairs their young son slept.
There was a bounteous meal,
casual conversation, mention of
future plans ... a baby due in
a few months. Then the visitors
left.
Within a few hours the lives
of the family were shattered.
The date was July 3, 1954. The
couple was Dr. and Mrs. Samuel
H. Sheppard.
The wife, Mrs. Marilyn Shep
pard, was beaten to death in
her bedroom. The case became
one of the most notorious in the
history of crime. 1
Many events followed: Dr.
Shepard, a promising young
brain surgeon, was arrested. He
was tried and convicted of sec
ond degree murder.
The son, Sam Jr.,' (Chip) was
separated from his father and
sent to live with an uncle.
Mother and Father Die
Sheppard's mother, Mrs. Ethel
Sheppard, committed suicide
shortly after her son's convic
tion. She left a note saying she
"couldn't go on."
The young surgeon's father,
Dr.' Richard A. Sheppard, died.
He had "lost the will to live."
Today, a year later, Sheppard
is a prisoner at Cuyahoga county
jail still hoping for freedom on
an appeal that is part of a $100,
000 legal fight to prove him in
nocent. "It was a hard year for Dr.
Sam," said William J. Corrigan,
his chief legal counsel.
But the attorney remained optimistic.
"I believe the killer will someV
day be caught. Dr. Sam has faith
in his eventual vindication," he
said..
Friends of the handsome, 31-
year-old surgeon-osteopath say
he has changed little physically
since his arrest. But his once
carefree attitude and easy man
ner have left him.
Hes much quieter, a
friend said. "He is very devout
now. He reads religious pham
phlets and the Bible." '
His pastor, the Rev. Alfred C,
Kreke, is primarily responsible
for Dr. Sam's renewed religious
interest.
New Outlook on Life
"I hope I have helped him,1
he said. "At one time he was sub
ject, to periods of great despond
ency. I think he has overcome
the feeling by his readings, and
by a new outlook on life."
His only regular visitors are
his two brothers, their wives,
the Rev. Kreke and another min
ister, the Rev. Robert Drews,
and Corrigan, his attorney.
Sheppard will remain in jail
here until he is acquitted or un
til his appeals have been denied

three weeks whether he wins an
