M MA-ft TRIBUNE, MedferJ. Ohmi, Th.riday, Jya 19, 19S8 Sailor Arrested For Death of 'Beat Generation' Girl San Francisco (UPI) "I started to caress her. She didn't resist at first and . thought it was going to be ; easy." And so Frank Harris, a 32 year-old seaman began telling ; police in his Oft voice how in a daze of heroin and whis- key he strangled a drunken playgirl from the North ' Beach "beat generation." Connie Sublette was only 20 when she met death early : Wednesday. But she had pack ! ed a life-time of sex- and alco hol into a very few years. Her ! former lover died only last . Sunday in a fall from a buil- ' ding during a party. She came here from Port- land, Ore., and became known in such beatster hangouts as : the co-existence Bagel shop and The Place. Her associates included crab crackers, mes senger boys, would-be poets anyone who happened along for kicks. Wore Brassiere, Medal They found her body early Wednesday in a shabby alley near Golden Gate Park, far removed from her bohemian haunts. The only clothing on it was a black ferassiere. A St ChristopHfer m&Ial dangled on a chain around her neck. The rest of her clothes - among them a modish black and white checked sack dress were neatly draped oft a fence. The slayer left a clue to his identity. He had dropped a receipt for a new suit of clothes during his tussle with her. Later in the3 day, police found Harris aboard the mili tary transport Gffey a few hours before it was due To sail for Japan, o "I just sat in my bunk and Asthmatics!

At YoOr Drttgge waited for them to come and get me," he said. Started io Yell The slaying itself was al most casual. Miss Sublette had been trying to enter the apartment of her former common-law husband, Albert Sublette,. 27, a messenger boy and would-be poet. He was not home. She began yelling at the landlord. Harris, who had just taken a "fix" of heroin and a pint of whiskey, happened by. He had never seen Connie before. He led her into the alley, re moved most of her clothes and tried to make love to her. She started screaming. "She was very drunk and slumped over," he said. "Then she began yelling for some one. I took out my handker chief and put it over her mouth ... I put it around her neck and applied pressure . . . she went limp." Specialists Study Radiation Cases Oak Ridge, Tenn. (UPI) Eight atomic plant workers in the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies hospital will be examined by radiation specialists ' from Boston and New York State brought here to study. the cases- Eight of the men were hos pitalized immediately after the accident Monday. - Three others were taken to the plant dispensary and later transfer red to the hospital.

V Ex-Wife of Russian Execution Victim Tells of Life Together Editor's note: This is the story or a grieved ana troubled woman- Mrs. Maria Maleter, former wife of Hungarian Major Gen. Pal Maleter, executed by the Communists this week with former Premier Imre Nagy, for their roles as leaders of the resistance in the Hungarian uprising of 1956 against Soviet oppression. Mrs. Maleter, 34, now lives with her three children in New York, where she hopes to make a living as a photographer of children. By MARIA MELETER As Told to Claire Cox United Press International New York (UPI) What makes a hero and a martyr? What turns a man with fierce love of country into a Com munist? The answers are Pal Male ter's secret, a secret he carried to his grave. Even I, who was his wife for nine years and am the mother of his three chil dren, can only guess the reasons. For Pal. I can see no good coming out of his death. It was a terrible tragedy for a born leader to be executed at the age of 41. But all i is not hopeless for Hungary. I have always had hope for Hungary, and I,have hope now. Knowing ray coun try, I think that it will be im possible for the Communists to oppress the Hungarian peo ple forever. But what made Pal the man he was? What made him, after being a prisoner of war in Russia, suddenly turn to Com munism, join the party, ac tively serve it as a leader and then sign his own death warrant by turning against the Reds? I can only speculate. Would I have learned, the answer on Christmas Day, 1955? That was a year after I Last.-, a Btally Pretty Cotton Bra, only and bold perfect shape, even after m $2.50, that does wonders for you' months of Machine Washings I A - cotton -PKrnrNK You've never worn a bra like this so well made and so durable that perfect fit and built-in shape last and last, even after months of machine washings.' .

He wanted to tell me something other than "Merry Christmas" on that day. But I was in no condition to talk to him. I was too upset over the death of my mother to discuss anything with Pal at that time. He never called me again. We never met or exchanged letters after that. Now he is dead, and I will never know what was on his mind that day. It is something I shall always regret. , Could See Both Sides My own theory, and one that is shared by his family and close friends, is that Pal was an unwitting victim of his upbringing. His father was a professor of philosophy who believed in seeing both sides of every question. He taught Pal to argue so skillfully on either side of an issue that he could see the merits of almost any view. Could it have been this training that made it possible for Pal to be swept into the Communist maelstrom and to his eventual death? During the war, Pal was violently anti-Nazi. He was one of the Hungarians taken prisoner by the Russians and sent to a camp in Russia. Something may have happen ed to him there. Perhaps they indoctrinated him in Commun ist ideas. I never knew. That was before I met him, and he never said. In" 1946, our son, Paul, now 12, was born. We were very happy, living in an apartment in Budapest, taking walks in the country, spending most of our spare time together. Then, shortly after Paul was born, Pal joined the Communist Party. He never told me why and I was never able to find out. Divorce Shook Him I divorced Pal in 1954. It was more for the children's sake than anything else. I could not bear for them to hear the arguments over Com munism. The divorce was a shock to Pal, possibly so much of one that it shook some of his faith in Communism. I think his dis illusionment may have start ed then. Not only was he shut off from his friends, but his children as well. Then another thing hap pened. He was put in charge of a labor camp to which anti Communist students were sent. He became friendly with some of the students, and it is possible they opened his eyes fully to the evils of Commun ism. - It was not difficult for him to step to the head of the anti Communist forces in the No vember uprising in 1956. The children, Paul, Mary, now 10, and Judith, now 8, know that their father died a hero. I have told them only the best parts.

Jaycees Ready Presidential Vote Los Angeles (UPI) Four candidates go before conven tioning delegates of the Junior Chamber of Commerce today in a race for national presi dent. They are Clarence L. Bla sier, .34, North Canton, Ohio; Bob 'Cox, 31, Chapel Hill, N.C.; Wallace R. Heatwole, 34, Waynesboro, Va., and Rich ard J. Lynch, 3L Kansas City, Mo.

In business sessions Wednes day, the delegates voted to support a program of fluori dation of drinking water, the U. S. reciprocal trade agree ments, traffic safety programs, foreign student programs and work to combat juvenile delinquency. Unemployment Compensation Claims Decline Salem (UPI) New claims for unemployment insurance dropped 36 per cent under the April total during May, the State Unemployment Compensation commission re ported today. But the claims are still 21 per cent higher than a year ago. The commission said unem ployment benefits totaling $40,049,658 had been paid out since July 1, 1957. It was the first time in the history of the commission that bene fits for an 11-month period had exceeded $40 million. A total of $26 million was paid in the last five months. Benefits Used Up At the end of May a total of 22,426 claimants had used up all their benefits. Last year at this time, 11,340 persons had run out of benefits. The State Employment service filled 33,630 jobs 'in May more than in May of last year. The rise was explained chiefly by an early straw berry harvest in the Willam ette valley. Non-farm placements pre sented a different picture, however, with 500 fewer than the 5,054 of May, 1957. The employment service's active file decreased nearly 10,000 during May, but the 39,913 job seekers were still a much larger group than in May of 1957 when they num bered 28,755.

(UPI) Movie actress Suzy Parker is being treated at St. Vincent's hospital for broken -arms she received in a car-train wreck which killed her father, it was disclosed Wednesday.
