Bern, Switzerland (U.R) Four young Romanian anti-Communists who seized and held Red Romania's legation here for more than a day and a half, go on trial Monday in an action unique in Swiss history. The 10 counts against them range from charges of "premed itated manslaughter" to "politi cal intelligence." Oliviu Beldeanu, Stan Codres cu, Jan Chirila and Dumitru Ochiu were the center of world attention in February, 1955, when they seized the Bern lega tion as a protest against the "Communist reign of terror," in Romania. Their trial would be a rela tively perfunctory matter if it were not for the fact that Aurel Setu, a legation chauffeur, was fatally shot by the young "in vaders."

' Walter D. Jensen, Medford supervisor, estimates that 4,150 cars will move out of Medford during the year. Of the estimat ed total,, he says 4,000 will con tain pears; 60 onions; 50 potatoes and 40 peaches. This estimate comes within 200 cars of tripling 1954-55, which was considered poor pear year.

Some 49 witnesses, including a number of prominent Roma nian refugees now living in the United States, Britain or France, are scheduled to testify at the trial in Bern's town hall. It is expected to last 10 days. No trial in Swiss history ever attracted such wide attention. The defense has arranged to have the German-language pro ceedings translated into French for the benefit of foreign corres pondents, but was unable to fi nance translation into English. The maximum sentence possi ble against the four defendants is life imprisonment In Switz erland, the death penalty is un known. Beldeanu, Codrescu, Chirila and Ochiu left Romania one by one after World War II to es cape Red terror in their home land. They met through mutual friends in Konstanz, Germany, where they planned their "com mando raid." They purchased pistols and a submachine gun and concealed them in the car. Chauffeur Slain The four men hoped to slip unnoticed into the legation dur ing the early hours of Feb. 15, but they were discovered by Setu. Codescu touched the trig ger of the submachine gun and the chauffeur went down with six bullets in his body. The masked raiders roused the other occupants of the legation, including Charge d'Affaires Emeric Stoffel, and forced them out of the building at pistol point. They forced Setu's widow to remain, and the charge that they bound her bands provides one of the counts in the indictment against them. They ransacked and burned Communist files in the legation. Ochiu was caught in an attempt to flee the building with a bundle of diplomatic papers, giv ing rise to a charge of "political intelligence" against the raiders. Dr. Robert E.
