France and U.S. Agree
On Stepped-Up Campaign
Against Reds in Indochina
WASHINGTON, (#> — T o p
French officials concluded the
main business of their visit to
Washington Saturday with a
White House conference at which
Secretary of State Dulles said
things went “all right.”
It was reported the consultants
had agreed generally on a stepped
up campaign against the Com
munists in Indochina.
At the same time informants
said a dispute over disposition of
the Saar area was left for future
solution, along with details of the
plan for Indochina.
Before the White House meet
ing it was reported a French plan
for victory in Indochina in two
years had excellent prospects of
support. But a sharp clash ap
pears to have developed between:
1. American hopes for speedy
French ratification of a European
army treaty which would permit
the arming of West Germany.
2. French insistence that, be
fore that action is taken, France
and Germany must reach an un
derstanding over the future of the
industrially-rich Saar area.
This may prove to be critical.
Dulles, who has argued against
such French demands, has told
European leaders he must have
positive signs of progress toward
a European army to get congres
sional approval of foreign aid
funds.

gave a party and put on a little
play for the Brownies of Mrs.

we completed the requirements

There are eleven requirements

Some of us have completed
other requirements.
We plan to go on a hike as
son as the weather warms up.
This will complete the Out-of

London Police Intensify Search
For Polite, Soft-Spoken Clerk,
Believed to be Sex-Mad Strangler
LONDON, (#) — Burned human
bones, believed to be the remains
of a fifth victim of London’s sex
mad strangler, were unearthed
Saturday in the garden of the
dingy flat that already had yield
ed the moldy bodies of four
strangled women.
The find sent a new wave of
horror through the dead -end
street in London’s seedy Notting
Hill district. Two families of Ja
maicans living in the apartment
building declared they were mov
ing out because they could “no
longer endure” living there.
At about the same time detec
tives discovered that widely
sought John Christie, 55-year-old
trucking clerk who had lived in
the flat 18 years, spent last, week
no more than three miles from the
murder scene.
He had registered in a lodging
house under his own name and,
left his briefcase behind. But his
bed had not been slept in since
Monday morning—or just before
the bodies of three young women
were discovered on Tuesday be
hind the walled-in pantry in his
former flat.
Digging and exploring night and
day since then, detectives found
a fourth body under the floor
Navy Atomic Expert, Scheduled
For Retirement, To Be Kept
On Active Duty of Another Year
WASHINGTON, UP) — Atomic
expert Hyman G. Rickover will
be able to wear his Navy captain’s
uniform at least for another year,
and perhaps add an admiral’s gold
braid to it.
The Navy announced Friday
Rickover, scheduled for retire
ment because two selection boards
passed him over for promotion to
rear admiral, will be kept on
active duty for another year.
The case had caused a congres
sional furor.

boards of the flat and then con
centrated around a small rockery
at the rear of “murder house.”
There, Saturday they unearthed
a large, bottomless garbage can.
Bones were found in the can. The
bones were sent to a pathologist
to determine how long they had
been buried and the age of the
victim. It appeared someone had
tried to destroy them by fire be
fore burying them.
Yet other victims may be dis
covered. Two girls who lived near
the Notting Hill horror house are
missing.
Police raced against^ time in
their efforts to catch the killer.
They warned he may be a moon
struck sex sadist, and that he may
strike again Monday, the time of
the next full moon.
Every policeman was given a
picture of Christie, a polite, soft
spoken, hat-tipping clerk whose
4'5-year-old wife was among the
victims.
It has turned out that Christie
was a part-time auxiliary police
man, so every regular cop who
ever worked with him has been
put on the search.
