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.

By NELSON REED
April 2. 1963
Abvut noon of April Fool's Day
ue look off from London for Ath
ens on one of BKA's Jet .Comets.
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.
