The slim University of California graduate is being re leased early because of time off for good behavior. Partner Left Behind She leaves behind her in Al derson a partner in treason, Mil dred Gillars, who, under the name of Axis Sally beamed broadcasts to Americans from Berlin urging them to surrender. American-born Tokyo Rose once received a tongue in cheek citation from the U. S. Navy for "greatly contributing to the morale" of American fighting men in the Pacific Theater. She could have received the death penalty in her San Francisco trial for her disc-jockey prop aganda program that was liber ally laced with sex and sedi tion. Platinum-haired Axis Sally re ceived a 10-to-30 year sentence for her wartime broadcasts to troops in the European Thea ter. She began serving her sen tence in March, 1949, and will not be eligible for release un til 1959. .

(U.R) A bridegroom who disappeared from his honeymoon suite in a San Francisco hotel was found half conscious in the middle of a mountain highway last night, an apparent victim of amnesia. The bridegroom, Ronald Even son, 27, a senior at the Colorado School of Mines, was brought to Placerville sanitarium to await the arrival of his wife. Attend ants said he did not know who he was or how he got to Placer ville. Highway Patrol Sgt. Bernard Ball said an unidentified truck driver almost hit Evensen as he lay in the middle of U. S. 50, a transcontinental highway that crosses the rugged Sierra Ne vada Mountains. The truck driver reported the incident to , patrolmen, who picked Evenson up and identi fied him from papers in his wal let. Evensen's car, rented from a San Francisco agency, was found parked by the side of the road, headed towards Sacra mento. Dr. L. E. Shortes examined Evenson at the sanitarium and found no marks of violence. His off-hand opinion was that Even son suffered from amnesia.
