Cease-Fire Declared in
Cambodia; Official End
Of War Wednesday
SAIGON, Indochina., UP—»An
official cease-fire was declared in
Cambodia Saturday, completing
four of the five stages to halt the
Indochina War.
The cessation of hostilities by
French Union troops and the
Cdmmunist-led Vietminh was or
dered into effect at 8 a.m. The
truce was little more than a for
mality, however, since there has
been no real military activity in
the kingdom of three million peo
ple for several weeks.
Cambodia was the fourth area
to gain uneasy peace under the
staggered timetable decided upon
at the Geneva Conference. Truces
already have become effective in
North Vietnam, Central Viet Nam
and Laos. The war will end offi
cially next Wednesday when a
cease-fire is ordered in southern
Viet Nam around Saigon.

Navy Officer Flies
Through Two Wars
Under False Name
SAN DIEGO, Salif., UPi—A dec
orated Navy officer was free by
court martial verdict here Satur
day of any official misconduct in
flying through two wars and put
ting in 14 years’ service under
another man’s name.
The mother of the man whose
name he used said she was glad.
Lt. Cmdr. Edwin Stanley Co
nant, veteran of Gen. Chennault’i
Flying Tigers in China, of NavJ
service in World War II and o
Korean combat, was acquitted at
the end of a one-day trial Friday.
He said he planned tor continue
his Navy service under the name
of Conant—borrowed from a for
mer college friend—but that his
two children probably would re
sume using the name of Perry.
They are living with their
grandfather, William R. Perry,
who testified his son was John
Francis Perry, born in 1912 in
San Francisco.
The son had used the identifi
cation of Edwin Stanley Conant,
born in 19i5 in San Diego County,
in entering the Navy as an air
cadet in 1940. He had been
dropped from an Air Force flying
school and needed new papers to
enter the Navy training.
Mrs. Stanley F. Conant said at
the family’s Lakeside home that
the two were very good friends
while attending San Diego State
College.
Perry borrowed her son’s name
and birth information, she said.
Both men are now interested in
law, a fact which led to the court
martial when the California State
Bar noted identical names and
other information on applications
for registration as students.
The court martial accepted le
gal opinion that there was nothing
wrong in using an assumed name
with no intent to defraud.
Lt. Cmdr. C. J. Collom, defend
ing the flier at the trial, said:
‘‘There is such a thing as fin
gerprints. We must assume that
the Navy knew of Mr. Conant’s
use of the name and winked at it.”
