The investigation proper should be
made only in the event that the in
coming grand jury. which assumes
its duties next Monday. finds there

the fact that crime had been com
mitted, the report stated.
Referring to the alleged contract
between Stephenson and Updike, thc
grand jury said it believes that, with

Can Serve II Years More.
There has been no announcement
by Gen. Butter that he intends to ask
to be retired this Summer. If he
elects, he could remain in the service
until the compulsory retiring age of
81. which WOULD give him II years
more in the Marine Corps. And if the
President did not approve an applica-
ton for retirement at the end OF 80
years he would remain in the service
But 1t would not surprise some of
Gen. Buffers friends if he did ask to
be retired.

December turmoil. however. was no
tably free from anti-foreign feeling

slams. who were handled roughly after
having been bosom friends with the
Southern Chinese.
On arriving in China Gen. Butler
gave several interviews in which he
warned the Chinese that while Amer
lea was friendly, this sentiment would
not stand the strain of an outrageous
assault upon Americans. particularly
American women and children. The
narrow escape of Americans in Nan

The hill country of the Nueva

The rebel leader was believed to
have fled into the bushy and al

loss of five lives. Eight other United

No direct word has been received

was presumed. however, that de-

The five Marines were killed when

gun nest. The machine guns were
hidden by dense underbrush and
before the surprised American forces
could counter, the Sandinistas had

Only one of the eight men in
