Birlhs GIBSON To Mr. and Mrs. Boyd, 701 South Chestnut st., Medford, Jan. 16, 1958, a boy, 71i pounds, at Rogue Valley hospitaL American Airman Faces Trial in Greek Court , Athens, Greece If) A 22-year-o 1 d American airman goes on trial here Jan., 20 on manslaughter charges the first U.S. serviceman to be tried by a Greek court and a storm center in the touchy question of national sover eignty. Airman 3C Marion Musilli, of B e n w o o d, W. Va., is charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of Gen. Staphanos Saraphis, wartime leftist underground leader and a member of Par liament. 1 Saraphis political connec tions have put Mussili square ly in the center of political strife and provided a field day for leftist agitation against the U.S.-Greek "status of forces" agreement. 'Extraterritorial Rights' The agreement has been at tacked here as a form of "ex traterritorial rights" for America. The auto accident which took the Greek political lead er's life and injured his English-born wife, the former Marion Pasco took place last May 30. Musilli was driving an Air Force car on a highway near the Athens airfield when the accident occurred. The car struck Saraphis and his wife when they were crossing the road en route to the seaside. The death of Saraphis im mediately aroused a storm in the Greek press. There were even whispers that the death was no accident that it was carefully planned to get left ist Saraphis out of the way. But even for the majority of Greeks who put no stock in such rumors, the problem was a troubling one. At that time the Greek government had not yet ratified its "sta tus of forces" agreement with the U.S. But ratification of the agreement spelling out the status of American troops here was rushed through Par liament after the accident. Dangerous Bars Seen by Douglas Washington (IP) Justice William O. Douglas thinks some of his Supreme Court colleagues are raising danger ous bars against sex litera ture and otherwise restricting freedom of expression. The theme of his new book published today "The Right of. the People" is that Amer ica's Democratic ideal is be ing eroded. He lays part of the blame on the court itself. The Volume comprises lec tures Douglas delivered last spring at Franklin and Mar shal College in Lancaster, Pa., updated to include comment on certain decisions at the end of the last court term. One of his major com plaints is with a decision which set up a standard to determine obscenity. It up held the validity of the fed eral obscenity law which makes it a crime to send ob scene material through the mail. Burglars Get $60 In Portland 'Job' Portland (IP) Burglars stole $60 in cash, a roll of stamps and 83 blank company checks from the Ross Island Sand-Gravel company early today but failed in an attempt to open the safe, police report ed.
