Todd’s Widow
Returns To Set
To Finish Movie
HOLLYWOOD, UP) — Mike
Todd’s widow, Elizabeth Taylor,
has gone back to her movie work,
eight pounds thinner.
The actress reported Monday
on the set of “Cat on a hot tin
roof” for the first time since
March 22, when Todd and three
others died in a New Mexico
plane crash.
Miss Taylor found her dressing
room filled with flowers, sent by
Paul Newman, Burl Ives, Jack
Carson, Judith Anderson and
Madeleine Sherwood, her co-stars
in the picture. The studio crew
sent violets.
Shortly before Todd’s death
Miss Taylor said she planned to
retire after two more pictures.
Now it appears she will continue
her career.

New York Youth
Gang Convicted Of
2nd Degree Murder
NEW YORK, UP) — Four mem
bers of a youth gang were con
victed last night in the slaying of
Michael Farmer, 15-year-old po
lio-crippled son of a city fireman.
All escaped the electric chair.
The three other defendants were
acquitted.
An all-male jury returned its
verdict 24 hours after receiving
the case.
Hardest hit were Charles (Big
Man) Horton, an 18-year-old
Negro and Louis Alvarez, 17
year-old Puerto Rican.
Convicted of murder in the
second degree, they face a man
datory term of 20 years to life in
prison when they come up for
sentencing May 21.
Alvarez’ father, Louis, fainted
in court when he heard the ver
dict announced.
Found guilty of second degree
manslaughter, which is punish
able by up to 15 years in prison,
were Leroy (Magician) Birch, a
Negro who was the oldest de
fendant at 19, and Leoncio (Jello)
De Leon, 17, a native of the Do
minican Republic.
Acquitted were the three re
maining members of the Egyptian
Dragons on trial: John McCarthy,
an epileptic and the baby of the
group at 15, Richard Hills, 17,
who had claimed he was drafted
into the gang, and George Melen
dez, 16-year-old native of Puerto
Rico. Hills and McCarthy are
white.
Ironically, Hills offered on
March 3 to plead guilty to first
degree manslaughter. Judge Ir
win D. Davidson rejected his
plea.
Davidson praised the jurors for
sincere devotion. He directed
that they receive $6 a day for
their services, twice the usual
fee.

Hong Kong Seeks Relief
For Fishermen Fleeing
Red Chinese Control
HONG KONG, UP) — Crowded
Hong Kong is seeking relief aid
for more than 1,500 fishermen
who have fled here from Red
China’s south coast ‘in the past
three weeks to avoid being forced
into Communist cooperatives.
More refugees are arriving in
small boats each day, claiming
they were being drafted into co
operatives which take over their
boats and gear and confiscate
70 per cent of their catch.
The Hong Kong government
has been issuing the refugees per
mits to fish in local waters if
their boats met marine safety
and sanitary regulations. Hong
Kong already is jammed with
fishermen, however, and the local
fishing associations says relief is
badly needed.
Doolittle’s Family
Knows No Reason
For His Recent Suicide
AUSTIN, Tex., UP) — Maj.
James H. Doolittle Jr., whose
famous father led the nation’s
first strike on Japan’s mainland
in World War II, committed sui
cide, an investigation report says.
“I wrote on the death certifi
cate it was suicide,” said Justice
of the Peace J. H. Watson. “It
was not homicide or accidental.”
Doolittle, 38, was found dead
last Wednesday in his office at
Bergstrom Air Force Base near
here. He had been shot in the
right temple with a .38 caliber
revolver found on the floor by
his body.
Lt. Doolittle returned here
from a government mission in
Puerto Rico, but like others in
the Major’s family said he knew
no reason for his death.
