TIIBIFT STOKE was apped in a linen tablecloth and white underclothing, her heart was found near the front door of her apartment, and a sev ered foot wrapped in a blanket was found nearby. Police revealed Monday that in vestigators and a psychiatrist have been studying a fragmen tary diary kept by the victim In I1 and l'.i2. The journal was found hidden among her personal effects in a bureau' drawer. . Uist. Atty. William Raggio said the entries were providing a "relatively new insight into her personality", and opened up "areas for a possible motive." Raggio said investigators are rounding up every man whose name was mentioned in Sonja s diary and that two of them al ready have been cleared by lie detector tests. Several of the men already have admitted to police they were intimate with the vic tim. . The district attorney said inves tigators also turned up informa tion that the baby sitter for the victim's son had called Miss Mc Caskic's apartment late Friday afternoon. A man answered the phone and said Sonja was not at home. The sitter, Mrs. Marvin Nielsen of nearby Sparks, said she hung up the phone and dialed the same number again. She was told by the man that she had the wrong number. Police theorize that the man may have been the killer but ad mit they still have no positive clues of his identity even though more than 60 persons have been questioned since the crime was discovered.

This is the ship that as to be England's pride with - its four Rolls Royce engines and a speed of S20 miles per hour. Then two 0! the early models crashed and by fishing the wreckage of one out of the sea and reconstructing it, they determined that the square windows in the cabin had blown out from the pressure at high altitudes causing the plane to disintegrate. Now they have small round windows and every thing is ok.' This we were told by a most interesting four stripe captain of BEA who was flying back to Athens from leave in London. He las to. meet four Polish fliers ihom he was instructing in the use of four BEA Viscounts which his company had just sold to Po land, for cash he assured us. He mentioned that Capitol Airlines of the U.S. still owed for some they bought, having gone broke. Thanks to him as he sat oppo- site us, we were told where we ere in our flight across Europe We came across the channel into France over Dieppe, flying on over' Paris which was over-! cast. It cleared a bit as c crossed tlie Alps near Geneva They were truly magnificent: miIcss rugged peaks with a hcav ier snow cover than we have ever seen in the Canadian Rockies We flew right over Wont Blanc which I often saw from the ground uhen I was stationed in France on the way to the front in the Old Man s War. Off to the left 0: us we caught a glimpse of the Matterhorn. lt was overcast over Milan and we continued on down Italy toward the boot. About 3:30 in the afternoon we broke out of Ihe overcast on the Adriatic. An hour later we came down over the mountains and there be low us was Athens, a lovely white city from the air, spread out over the Athenian plain that slopes down to the Aegean at Piraeus. High in the center of the city stands tlie Acropolis with the Parthenon, tlie world's most ma jestic monument. An English scholar once said that Greece gave us SALAD: sci ence, architecture, literature. art, democracy. To no other country do we owe as much. We shall not attempt to describe the famous Museum of Athens with its treasures of bronze and mar ble sculpture, nor the temples of the Acropolis for they are well known to most of our school chil- dren. One thing we have had im pressed upon us by the very in telligent guides with whom we went sightseeing was Greek his tory. Almost continually over the centuries Greece has been volved in wa'r. It was invaded by the Barbarians, the Persians, the Phoenicians, the Romans, the Turks and the Germans. In be tween times the Greek states fought with each other and re cently Greece had a civil waiM when with . our assistance they threw- out the Communists The Golden Age of Pericles, when most of the famous temples and public buildings were con structed and the great art and iterature was produced, only- lasted about 50 years. During this period Socrates and De mosthenes lived. Plato wrote and the famous Greek plays were pro duced. After Alexander the Great put together a United Greece horn the several states, and con quered the known world, Greece almost disappeared from history. For 400 years prior to the Greek Revolution, tlie Turks oc cupied Greece and destroyed many of the works of the Golden Age. During the Renaissance in Europe, Greece was almost dead. After winning their freedom from the Turks, Greece was later in volved in both world wars, hav ing been occupied by Germany for three years in the last war. Only in the last few years since the Civil War has the country been lallnwed to live in pea a en" joy some prosperity. Basically. Greece is a poor country, agriculturally and in Inatural resources having only bauxite and np -clieap power. It ilives largely by trade and must Hurrfi su allow its pride and do business with former enemies such as Germany and Raly. as well s the U.S. and Great Bri tain. The tourist business is just beginning to become important. The other dav we took a most interesting drive along the sea coast to Sunion. A fine highway followi along the seashore which is quite rugged with rocky cliffs, little bays and some fine sandy beaches, lt is a barren rocky land much like Southern Califor nia but with even less vegetation. There are only occasional very small P001, looking cultivated fields covered with stones, where they try to grow a little grain and some vegetables. From time to time we saw Greek shepherds dressed in thcir'black cloaks herd ing small bunches of white, brown and black long - Jiaired sheep. Up the draws were wat tled sheep pens and tiny herders' houses of stone. Community Qakndak TUESDAY ' SCULPTURE CLASS, 7:30 to 9 45 p.m., Art Gallery annex. Maple Park.
