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

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."

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

divorced him because Com
munism had made Our life to
gether intolerable. 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.

Presidential Vote
Los Angeles (UPI) Four
candidates go before conven

Chamber of Commerce today
in a race for national presi
dent. They are Clarence L. Bla

Bob 'Cox, 31, Chapel Hill,
N.C.; Wallace R. Heatwole, 34,
Waynesboro, Va., and Rich
ard J. Lynch, 3L Kansas City,

Thousands of delegates to
Los Angeles' first 1 national
Jaycee convention were sched
uled to vote on the four and
choose 10 national vice presi
dents from 14 candidates.
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.
Suzy Parker Gels
Hospital Treatment
Jacksonville, Fla. (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.
Her attorneys continued to
check into the accident, in
specting the railroad crossing
near St. Augustine where it
happened. New York attorney
Paul O'Dwyer called the spot
a "veritable death trap."
Miss Parker was reported
in "good" condition and
should be released , in about
nine ' days, according to au
thorities. Doctors said the
"outlook for total recovery
is good."
The auburn-haired iilm star
was transferred to the hos
pital from St. Augustine early
this week so that she could be
under the care of a bone
specialist.
