Mystery Veils

called, at 1 a. m. to the family
residence, . this afternoon ad
vanced theory of - robbery.
Mrs. Bessonette was moved at
3 a. m. to Hillside hospital in
Klamath Falls suffering from
a compound fracture of the
right arm and multiple lacera
tions, v .
The woman's husband,- Earl
Bessonette, independent drag
line operator, told Chief Rhodes
he returned home about mid
night and found his wife on
her bed clad only In a red
blouse. Her fur coat, soaked
with water and the lining cov
ered with blood, was found on
the living room floor. The
woman's slacks were torn at the
knees and Chief Rhodes said
they appeared as If Mrs. Bes
sonette had been dragged a con
siderable distance.
Mystery surrounded the cause
of the woman's injuries and
Chief Rhodes said that she
would not advance any infor

Bessonette was thought to have
had around $300 in a billfold
when she was seen at the

Dies By Rope
! LONDON. Jan. 3 ' Iff) Wil
liam - Joyce,.- notorious "Lord
Haw Haw" of the, German air
waves, died a traitors death this
morning on the gallows of
Wandsworth prison.
-The - 40-year-old - American-
born Joyce, who sold his voice
to Adolf Hitler as a radio pro
pagandist . at the outset of the
war, was executed shortly after
9 a. m. (4 a. m EST) on high
treason charges of which he was
convicted by a British court last
Sept. 19.
He died on the same scaffold
where John Amery, 33-year-old
son of a former British cabinet
member, was hanged on Dec. 19
on treason charges growing out
of similar radio activities. .
Only a small group of prison
officials saw Joyce ' plunge
through the trap. Under English
law no spectators may witness
an execution.
Execution of the death sen
tence was announced in two
typewritten sheets which were
posted outside the prison gates
shortly after the hanging. ,
. Prison officials said , Joyce
walked to the gallows from his
death cell, his arms pinioned be
hind him with the broad -black
strap used in countless execu
tions. The trap was sprung by
I. Pierrepolnt, nephew of Albert
Plerrepoint, . famed hangman
who executed Amery.
Joyce's death under leaden
skies in the stone-walled prison
courtyard ended a fantastic ca
reer which led him from fascist
street fights in England to an
infamous place as Hitler s num
ber one English language broad
caster. -
. Nazi Propaganda Minister Jo
seph Goebbels paid Joyce $60
a week for his radio work,
which consisted of four daily
broadcasts.

' CHUNGKING, Jan. 3 (tP) Chinese communists accepted to
day Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's offer to call in Gen. George
C. Marshall as a mediator in China's civil strife.
Communist authorities here announced that they agreed la
general with Chiang's plan to halt hostilities, but they were lay.
ing down specific conditions.
The formal communist reply from Yenan, the party's north
China headquarters, was handed to government delegates at
formal peace meeting. r t : .
(Yenan dispatches a few ; hours earlier said the communists
had replied formally to the government's New Year's peace
plan, welcoming Gen. George C. Marshall as mediator and prom
ising to "discuss favorably every suggestion").
The meeting was the third formal union between the two
delegations since December 27. Gen. Chou En-lai, leader of the
communist delegation, attended after conferring a half-hour with
General Marshall. He also had conferred with the U. S. envoy
on New Year's Day, shortly after the national government'!
counter proposal for a truce had been announced. .
Reports of fighting meanwhile thickened.
A Chinese national government dispatch countered Chinese
communist reports of virtually
unopposed Kuomintang - troop
movements in northern China
with the assertion that commu
nist forces were advancing at
several points.
The national statement said
the communists were within
five miles of Tangshan, coal
mining center on the Peiping
Mukden railroad , 60 miles
northeast of Tientsin and were
repulsed in an attempt to seize
the Tangshan airfield.
. Another government dispatch
said Chiang Kai-shek's troops
are moving toward Changwu in
the Manchurian province . of
Liaoning, 60 miles northwest of
Mukden, and are making ar
rangements to take over garri
son duties there from the Rus
sians.' .
. Reds To Resist -?
It added that General Tu Li
ming, commander of national
forces in Manchuria, Intended
to Inspect his troops, positions
in the province of Jehol where
the communists were avowedly
ready to resist any advance on
the capital city of Chengteh. t
A communist dispatch here
said Chinese red forces had

west of the Shantung seaport of

Stark Says
Jap Attack
Mot 'Invited'
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3 (ff) .
Adm. Harold R. Stark said to
day that so far as' he knew,
there was no advance informa
tion in Washington that the Jap
anese would attack Pearl Har
bor Dec. 7, 1941. '
The 1941 chief of naval oper
ations ' made the statement in
concurring with an assertion by
Senator Lucas (D-H1.) at a joint
congressional hearing that re
ports of such advance knowl
edge were "utterly without
foundation in fact." .
Stark testified before the
senate-house committee . inves
tigating the Pearl Harbor disas
ter that:
1. He knew of no one in any
official position who knew in
advance the precise hour or place
Of attack. ; -.; ,'.,.:....
Wanted Peace
" 2. He knew- of no man or
group of men who maneuvered
the 1841 Japanese . situation to
invite attack. "On the contrary
we were trying to maintain
peace,"uhe said.-, - ; -;.-S,
He knew of no one who,
as.. Lucas put it, "trapped or
lied' -the-Japanese into attack
"so as to make it easier for con
gress to give a declaration of
war." - .- - , . -. .
"Then," said Lucas after em
phasizing Stark's 'close connec
tions with President Roosevelt
and' cabinet members, "all ru
mors and speculation and news
paper articles about men high
in the government knew the
precise time and place of attack
are utterly without foundation,
in -fact?" ; .
"That is my opinion," said th
white-haired admiral. .
Stark also said it never oc-'
curred to him, to telephone Adm.
Husband E. Khnmel, Pacific I
fleet commander, - about fresh
information indicating that war
was imminent before the Jap
anese attacked Dec. , 1941. (Sea
