Disappearance of
Judge and Wife
Baffles Authorities
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. UP)—
Authorities leaned toward a kid
nap-murder theory today in the
mysterious disappearance of Cir
cuit Judge C. E. Chillingworth,
prominent Florida jurist, and his
wife.
“J hope this is only a kidnap
ping,” said Sheriff John F. Kirk.
“We are still at a loss as to what
happened and as to what motive
they might have had.
The 58-year-old jurist and his
wife, Marjorie, 57, were last seen
by friends in Palm Beach Tues
day night and were reported miss- j
ing from their oceanside summer!
home at nearby Manalapan Wed
nesday morning.
Slender clues baffled the state,
county and city police investiga
tors trying to solve the disappear
ance of the widely known and
highly respected couple.
There were footprints in the wet
sand, what appeared to be blood
stains on a* beach walk and a
smashed spotlight outside the con
crete and frame beach house, in
dicating violence.
“We are working on the theory
that they were attacked and car
ried away either by boat or by
car,” said John R. Hiatt, Palm
Beach County investigator.
Torpedo Blast
Sinks British Sub,
Trapping 13 Men
PORTLAND, England, UR—A
practice torpedo exploded and
ripped open the Royal Navy sub
marine Sidon yesterday, sending
the ship to the bottom of Portland
harbor with 13 men trapped in its
shattered hull.
Seven hours after the tremen
dous explosion the Admiralty said
all hope had been abandoned for
the three officers and 10 enlisted
men. /
The blast tore apart the for
ward end of the sub while it was
rftoored alongside the depot ves
sel Maidstone. It occurred shortly
before the Sidon was to leave the
harbor on Torpedo firing exer
cises.
An Admiralty spokesman said
the explosion occurred in a tor
pedo propellant in the forward
torpedo compartment.
The Sidon rested on the surface
for about a half hour after the
explosion, then nosedived under
36 feet of water.
Seven other crewmen escaped
with only slight injuries, the Ad
miralty said.
The explosion rocked this south
coast naval base and sent columns
of dense yellow smoke billowing
skyward.
Rome Awarded
Olympic Games
For Summer of ’60
PARIS, —The International
Olympic Committee awarded the
1960 summer games to Rome yes
terday. ,
The voting, most important in
the world of sports, was taken as
the climax of the week-long IOC
meetings in the Cercle Interallie,
an international house in the heart
of Paris.
Losing cities were Lausanne,
Switzerland; Budapest, Brussels,
Detroit, Tokyo, and Mexico City.
The 1956 games will be in Aus
tralia. In accordance with an un
written Olympic rule that summer
games must be in Europe at least
two thirds of the time, the return
to Europe was almost a foregone
conclusion.
Rome is believed unofficially to
have won on the third ballot.
An unofficial tabulation gave
Rome 15 on the first ballot, Lau
sanne 14, Budapest 18, Mexico
City 6, Detroit 6, and Tokyo 4.
Tokyo, with the fewest votes,
was dropped out, according to an
unofficial report, after this first
round of voting. On the second
ballot Rome was believed to have
received 27—two short of an ab
solute majority of the 57 mem
bers present. Lausanne was be
lieved to have received 20 votes.
The meeting last lVfe hours.
British Seamen’s Strike
Forces Cancellation of
Queen Mary Sailing
SOUTHAMPTON. England, (M
—Britain’s wildcat strike of sea
men has forced the 81,000-ton
liner Queen Mary to cancel her
New York sailing.
The walkout previously had tied
up the 32,100-ton Mauretania and
five other transatlantic liners.
The strikers failed last week to
hold up the Queen Elizabeth, flag
ship of the line.
Since the walkout began, about
1,000 persons who had been
booked aboard tied up liners have
received passage aboard chartered
airlines in addition to regular
flights.
The dock stoppage, involving
some 30,000 men, grew out of a
jurisdictional squabble between
two unions. It has crippled the
ports of London, Liverpool, Hull,
Manchester, Garston and Roches
ter.
Chinese Students
Returned to Reds
HONG KONG, (®—Thirty-two
Chinese from the United States
were taken under police escort
yesterday to the Red Chinese bor
der.
The group, mostly students, ar
rived here aboard the American
liner President Wilson.
There were no demonstrations
or incidents.
The students were among the 76
detained in the United States

had gained in studying in Amer
ica might be of assistance to the
Chinese Communists.
The State Department lifted the
restrictions April 2.
