Jury Selection Moves
Slowly In Death Trial
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (LPI)
Is the female of the species
more deadly than the male?
Take a case o( murder. Pre
sume yourself to be the defen
dant. You're innocent. That's
what you keep telling yourself
the defendant is clothed by
the law with the presumption
of innocence.
Then you watch the jury se
lection. If your name is Tilmer Eu
gene Thompson, you sit in a
courtroom to which your case
has been moved in a change of
venue. The slaying of Mrs. Car
ol Thompson, 34, the defendant's
wife, took place in St. Paul
March 6. But it was moved out
of there when the defense won
its contention that the publicity
there might lend to bias pros
pective jurors.
Young Man
Confesses
To Murder
MIDLAND. Tex. (LTD - A
muscular young man sat som
berly in his jail cell today fac
ing murder charges in the
bludgeon-slaying of the socialite
wife of a Texas millionaire oilman-sportsman.
Police said James Lee Mar
lon. 22. a Negro, confessed he
dragged Mrs. Fred Turner Jr.
screaming from a balcony into
her bedroom and beat her to
death with his fists and pistols
she had w ielded.
Marion, a shortordcr cook,
said Mrs. Turner, fifi, surprised
him while he was burglarizing
her $500,000 home. He quoted
her as saying. "I'm going to
kill you." and said he attacked
her after she fired a .38 auto
matic pistol wildly.
"I was looking for money."
Marion said. The 5-foot-4, 158
pound man said he had been
drinking heavily. Two officers
said he waved a pistol at them
menacingly when he fled the
victim's home.
Turner, whose horse Tomy
Lee won the 1959 Kentucky Der
by, learned of the slaying when
he returned home from a trip
to his Las Vegas. N. M., ranch.
The couple's daughter, Mrs.
Clarence Scharbauer Jr., was
knocked unconscious by the at
tacker when he fled the man
sion. Marion was arrested Tues
day cowering in the attic of a
nearby garage.
Surgeon Discusses 'Absurd' Form
Of Cancer Likely Carried By Insect
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI)-Dr.
Denis Burkitt, an outspoken
Irishman who is now the top
surgeon in Uganda, came to
town today to talk about a "bi
zarre, totally absurd" form of
cancer which he believes Is
carried by mosquitos.
The best thing about It, he
said, is that it can often be
cured.
Burkitt discussed the disease
which others call "Burkitt's
Tumor," and which he calls
"an absurd lymphoma" in a
press briefing at the 40th annual
clinical congress of the Ameri
can College of Surgeons.
. The congress has drawn near
y 12.000 fellows of the college,
including more than 7.500 sur
geons, to a week-long series of
lectures, discussions and exhi
bits that amount to a post-graduate
course in surgery.
Burkitt, who went to Uganda
in 1MB with the British Colonial
Service and is now chief gov
ernment surgeon for the newly
independent nation, said the tu
mor named for him is the most
overwhelmingly common form
of cancer found in children in
tropical Africa.
Prevalent In Africa
It Is almost nonexistent in the
Western World, he said, but in
certain areas of Central Africa
it's found in children of every
race and every circumstance.
Burkitt said he has been able
to gather certain data about the
disease despite rather severe
limitations on the research re
sources available "I worked
three and a half yean on a $75
grant."
He spent seven years, he said
documenting the geographical
distribution of the disease, and
this and other factors convinced
him that it was caused by a
virus and probably was carried
by mosquitos.
Factors of elevation and dis
tance from the equator combine
he said, to indicate that the dis
ease cannot occur where the
minimum temperature ever
drops below so degrees. This i
the minimum, he said, below
which most mosquitos (ail to
propagate and it also provides
the heavy rainfall and vegeta
tion ;iecessary for them.
"There is no doubt at all." he
said, "that this is an environ
mental cancer."
So the trial was moved to the
twin city of Minneapolis to a
courthouse about 10 miles from
the one in which it would have
been held in St. Paul. But
people in Minneapolis had been
reading about the case, too.
Question 45 Persons
In two days of jury picking,
45 persons were questioned.
Twenty-five of them were ex
cused because they indicated
they had formed an opinion In
the case.
Thompson. 35. a Minnesota
farm boy who worked his way
through law school, graduated
second in his class, had a ris
ing law career well in hand as
a highly respected criminal at
torney. He was an elder in a
St. Paul Presbyterian Church.
His wife, mother of four, and
a church worker and choir sing
er, was killed by bludgeon and
knife in as brutal a fashion as
can he imagined. The state con
tends Thompson masterminded
a plot which involved his form
er college mate Nortnan J.
Mastrian as middle-man and a
hard - drinking salesman, Dick
V. C. Anderson, as the execu
tioner. Anderson Confessed
Anderson has confessed he
did it and has said it was mur-der-for-hire.
He is reported to
have confessed he botched the
job, to have said the plan was
to rap Carol on the back of the
head and knock her out, then
dump her nude body in a bath
tub to make it seem she fell
in the bathroom and drowned.
At the time of her death there
was Sl.Ofil.ono in life and acci
dental death insurance in force
on Mrs. Thompson, with her
husband as beneficiary.
Mediators
Try Again
PITTSBURGH IUPP Fed
eral mediators, who helped set
tle Westinghouse Electric Cor
poration's contract dispute with
the International Electrical
Workers Union UUE, have
moved into company talks with
the International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers MBEVV).
Joseph Piconke of Washington
and Arthur Wellman of Pitts
burgh joined the IBEW-West-inghouse
talks Tuesday in hopes
of negotiating a settlement be
fore the union's contract ex
pires midnight, Oct. 31.
The firm, which meets today
with the IBEW, also is conduct,
ing negotiations with the Unit
ed Electrical Workers (UE).
It is not found on the islands
of Zanzibar and Penba 30 miles
off the African coast. This
means, Burkitt said, "that the
cause cannot cross 30 miles of
sea."
The most bizarre and "ab
surd" aspect of the cancer, he
said, is the manner in which it
may settle almost anywhere in
the body jaw, genitals, thyroid
and so on except the spleen,
which ordinarily should be a
prime target.

France Urges
PARIS (UPI) - French For
eign Minister Maurice Couve
de Murville called today for a
sweeping reorganisation of the
Atlantic Alliance.
He asserted that the present
North Atlantic Treaty Organ
ization (NATO) is out-of-date.
But he said a major reorgan
ization will not be possible un
til other European members
pull their full weight. .
Couve de Murville delivered
a broad foreign policy review
to the National Assembly as (t
debated the foreign ministry's
19S4 budget.
"France," he said, "has de
cided to play her own role in
defense." That, he said, is why
she has decided to pull the
bulk of her land, sea and air
forces out of NATO.
"The day when the other Eu
ropean members of the alliance
show the same will, reor
ganization of the Atlantic Alli
ance on a durable basis will
be possible," he asserted.
BARUCH GETS HONOR
ATLANTA, Ga. (UPD Ber
nard M. Baruch, a leading
American financier since the
turn of the century, was named
by the editors of Dixie Business
magazine as their "Great Amer.
ican" for 1963.
Hubert F. Lee, editor of the
magazine since 1928, also said
Rep. Carl Vinson, D-Ga., was
chosen for next year's honor.
Lee said Vinson will have
served a half century In the
U. S. Congress as of next year.

age is five to seven.
Burkitt treats the cancer with
the chemicals ncthotrexate and
cytoxin.
"I know of no cancer which
Is so responsive to treatment,"
he said. "I've treated about AO
patients, and although it's diffi
cult to follow up because most
of them disappear back into the
bush, I know at least 20 are
still alive four months to three
years after treatment. Fifteen
died that I know of."

these other main points:
France favors total nuclear

Hurled
At Warren
NEW YORK (UPI) - Chief
Justice Earl Warren Tuesday
night was bombarded by leaf
lets and placards hurled at him
by demonstrators demanding
his impeachment.
The demonstration took place
as Warren and his wife were
leaving the New York Bar As
sociation Building where earlier
in the evening he was made an
honorary member of the organ
ization at a testimonial dinner.
The pickets, who said they
were members of "the move
ment to impeach Earl Warren,"
also booed Gov. Nelson Rocke
feller, who attended the dinner
but left the building separately
from the Warrens.
Neither Warren nor Rockefel
ler was hurt, and police moved
in quickly to keep the pickets
from the men.
Walter Zaleski, who said he
was the leader of the organiza
tion which is based in Summit,
N.J., told newsmen the Supreme
Court's decisions "have helped
to erode our freedoms." He said
the group was not connected
with the John Birch Society.
The approximately 75 pickets
were waiting for Warren when
he arrived at the building with
his wife and daughter, Mrs.
John Daly.

Space Adviser Believes Russians
Attempting To Slow U.S. Moon Shot
WASHINGTON (UPD - A
leading space adviser to Presi

Nikita S. Khrushchev's recent
space statement was an attempt
to slow down the U.S. lunar
project, rather than a Soviet
withdrawal from the space
race.
Dr. Edward C. Welsh said
Tuesday that the Russians have
a "strong space program and
are concentrating on it. There
is nothing in this (Khrushchev's
remarks) to indicate otherwise
and no reason to believe they
are slackening."
Welsh is executive secretary
of the National Aeronautics and
Space Council which advises
President Kennedy on U.S.
space programs. In an inter
view with United Press Inter
