Dr. Harry Leon, In a report yes terday, said the 20-year-old mail order heir died violently of alcohol and drug poisons, and that some one else probably injected the drugs into bis veins. Thome died "by undue means, Dr. Leon said in his report to Coroner - Walter E. McCarron. "This definitely was not natural death," he said. The possibility of foul play is under' consideration by McCarron. ''There is definitely something wrong in this case," McCarron said. "It appears from the phy - sician's report that a second party, expert with the needle, may have administered drugs into the veins of Trjorae before be died." Thome's body was found In his one-room apartment June 19. The coroner's office has started a search for all persons who ma7 have seen him between 1 a.m. and S a.m. Dr. , Leon said the position of fresh needle marks on the youth's arm indicated another person made them shortly before his death. Asked directly, "Was Thome murdered?" Dr. ' Leon replied, "That is up to the coroner's Jury to determine." - A coroner's Jury, at five emotion packed hearings since the youth's death, have heard several witness es, including his mother, Mrs. Mar lon Tnome. The Inquest Is to be resumed Wednesday. Mrs. Thome's attorneys nave said they Intend to present "surprising evidence." ' Nine dsys before his death, Thome rewrote his win to remove his mother as chief beneficiary and to leave three quarters of his es tate to his sweetheart, Maureen Ragen, 18, and her mother Aleen. Miss Ragen says she and Thome were to have been married in De cember, after Thome's 21st birth day, but Mrs. Thome denies this. Probate Judge Charles O. Seidel of Kane County was summoned to Chicago to preside over today's hearing on a proof of Thome's heirship in a petition filed by the Ra gens' lawyer. The bearing will concern only the youth's right to the fortune left by his father Gor don C. Thome, who died in 1938. municipal cotiar Leater Arnold, drunk, 25 or lilt daye.

Vcmdeebertj Judge Holman Hears First Cases On Klamath Bench Judge Ralph llolnian of Oregon City went on uie bench in circuit court here Friday mornuig and was immediately bombarded with a series of motions, objections and demurrers by counsel for defen dants he is to try. The Clackamas County Jurist's Urst action was to assume Juris diction In Uie case of Tobe C. Car tor, twice Indicated for contribu ting to the delinquency of a minor. It had been reported that the state supreme court held that Cir cuit Judge Dm id R. Vandenberg should try this case because Dis trict Attorney Prank Alderson bad filed his motion for a change of Judge too late for It to be valid. Defense Attorney U. S. Balenllne, who argued agaiiut Judge Holman trying the case. He told the court that he had filed a demurrer to the first Indictment and Judge Vanden berg had sent It back to the grand Jury. He also said that the purpose of Alderson's motion for a change of Judges was to deny his client the constitutional right of a speedy trial. He also pointed out that be fore Alderson asked for a Judge change. Carter was in court ready to plead to the charge against him and ask for a speedy trial. In ruling against Balenllne. Judge Holman took the position that when Judge Vandenberg sus tained the defense demurrer and sent the case back to the grand Jury, the transaction as far as Judge Vandenberg was concerned was completed and that the second indictment was a new and different action. Judge Holman also said that he The 1 i) - r:z ty had a general Assignment from the state supreme court to try cases in Klamath County and therefore had the authority to deal with any Judicial matters that were brought before the court. When Judge Holman asked Car ter If he was randy to plead to Ihe charge of contributing to the de linquency of a minor, on advice of Balenllne, he stood mute and refused to plead. The court then entered a plea of not guilty for him. The Judge said the case would be tried sometime in August. Objections to Judge Holman pre siding In the case of Andrew J. Bushman, indicted for a aex crime, also was overruled by the court. Defense Attorney Joe O'Neill said he had never been officially no tified that a change of Judge had been ordered In Ihe case. At the noon recess. Judge Hol man was listening to arguments on a demurrer filed by Attorney Oecrge Proctor In the case of Robert Wayne Kirk charged with burglary.

Ferguson, a member of Ihe Ben ate Foreign Relations Committee, said In a statement he fell com pelled lo comment on Democratic coinplalnla concerning Republican criticism of ihe Asian policies of former President Truinnn and his secretary of stale. Dean Aolieaou. Ferguson's comment came In the wake of a Senate speech yesterday 111 which Ben. Mansfield iD-Mmill gave Ihls as a summary of current OOP foreign policy: "Hpeak loudly and carry a leather duster." ACCUSATION Mansfield accused Uie adminis tration of seeking to run foreign affalra on a "diplomacy of bluster and retreat," but Hen. Cooper (R Kyi challenged him to ahow "Just what the failure Is" In Ihe gov ernment's Asian diplomatic moves, or lo say what a Democratic ad ministration would have handled differently, Mansfield relerred lo Becrrlary of state Dulles' unsuccessful mis sions to London and Paris to line up support for an anti-Communist alliance In Southeast Asia, and he declared: "We can do nothing or worae than nothing If we cling to the Illusion that . , . Uth-hour flights lo foreign capitals are a substi tute for carefully cultivated, care fully maintained cooperation with friendly nations: that strong words, even massive ones, equate with a strong policy. that they take Ihe place of genuine strength and conviction." DKFFNDr.R Cooper, a former delegate to Ihe Untied Nations, said the adminis tration could have moved to Inter vene In Indochina, but that the Democrats were against that, or It could have abandoned Indochina lo Communist conquest and has' not done so. The third possibility, he said, was to "try to build up sources of atrength to try lo prevent future aggression." That Is what the ad ministration has done, Cooper added. Sen. Knowland of California, the OOP Senate leader, told Mansfield foreign police Is a mailer on which public . figures "constantly rise above narrow partisanship." and he added: "I hope a will not be come a partisan Issue." Mansfield replied that the Dem ocrats do not "like to be kicked around or knifed In the back." He said the Democrats had tried lu cooperate but had been faced with "bickering and back biting." BirARTlHAN fOLlCY Ferguson, taking a dilferent view of Ihe same picture, said Use con tention of "certain Democratic storm breaks a line, he is on instant call. , His job is often dangerous, but don't call him a hero.

We must not make any mlstakea. "Therefore, It becomes a mailer of utmost Inipoi'isnua to look back cnrefiilly, and discover vhirs Untied States lorelgu policy went wrong In Uie past, "In Ihls we are not questioning the motives of our predecessor ad ministration's foreign relations, but the methods and, of course.
