The scientists technically were
not prisoners. But there was no

work and permitted to take their

by V2 chief Dr. Werner von

East Germany to the allied lines

Elkins Aide Says
Portland OP) An employee
of Portland racketeer James B. ,
Elkins testified Thursday that
a S4000 share of after-hours club
receipts went to Thomas E. 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.

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.

Little Girl's Killer
Describes Driving
Screwdriver in Body
Juarez, Mexico IPi Side
burned, cynical Joe Franco sat
in the dingy Juarez jail Friday
and said he laughed when he
drove a screwdriver through the
heart of his 5-year-old rape vic
tim. 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.

An FBI trap laid around the

Roswell to El Paso fell apart
after a news leak last Sunday.
The girl's nude body was found
Monday.
Franco said Thursday night he
had not carried the girl out of
her house but said she volun

awoke her. She knew Franco as

the home of her parents, Mr. and
