The scientists technically were not prisoners. But there was no arguing with the Red Army "re cruiters" and no quitting the job.

About 100, led by V2 chief Dr. Werner von Braun, made their way from the Peenemuende Rocket Station in East Germany to the allied lines at the end of the war. Many were flown to the U.

Ma loney, now on trial for conspir acy, during three months of 1955. James Q. (Slim) Jenkins, who identified himself as a mechanic for Elkins' Service Machine Company, testified that he de livered the money in half a doz en trips to Maloney's apartment. Jenkins said the meetings in the King Tower apartments here included Maloney, Elkins, and Joseph P. McLaughlin, Seattle cardroom operator. McLaughlin and ex-District Attorney Wil liam M. Langley are accused of being conspirators with Maloney in a plan to foster gambling in Portland and to make money from the operations. Jenkins testified that "at the time, I was making collections from after hours clubs." He said he delivered the money to Ma loney at the direction of Elkins in July, August and September of 1955.

SP 2-5904 ur. Helmut Groettrup. nead of the German scientists deport ed to Russia, said in a radio in terview Thursday night that the Russians used German World War II technical knowledge only for background and have since gone their own way "As far as I know, the German scientists in the U. S. have built their work on the traditions from Peenemuende," Groettrup said. "My coworkers and I broke with this tradition. The Soviets have gone further along this path now." Groettrup said the Soviet sat ellite is proof that Russian sci entists can build a rocket capable of reaching any part of the earth. He said when the Germans re- turned home in the early 1950s, the Soviet research was not yet close to this point.

The 24-year-old Dexter, N.M., farmhand is expected to be de ported to face charges in the kidnap-rape-slaying of little San dra Jo Lucero at Roswell, N.M., after quizzing here on a 1955 child molesting case. '"I had been smoking the weed all day," Franco told reporters in an arrogant tone. "I was laugh ing when I stabbed her with the screwdriver." "I hope they kill me," he sneered. Seldom did a shadow of re morse cross his face as he ad mitted taking the girl from her home about midnight last Satur day, raping and killing her and then leaving her body wrapped in a car seat cover in a dumping grounds. Grim Speculation The husky killer's arrival Thursday climaxed a day of spe culation as to whether he would reach the border alive. Citizens both in Juarez and across the border in El Paso speculated the ancient custom of "ley fuga" would take care of Franco. Ley fuga is a border practice more often talked of than heard of in which a prisoner is officially "shot to death while trying to escape." However, Juarez Police Chief Teodoro Rives and a detective delivered Franco unmarked after an all-day drive from near Tor reon, Mexico, where he was ar rested at an uncle's farm. Inspector General Domingo Holguin, head of all Juarez po lice agencies, said Mrs. Elvira G. de Mentiola, Franco's half sister who lives in Juarez, told police of the uncle.
