 So far their search for Mrs Win nie Ruth Judd, minister's daugh- ter, telephone operator and pnysi- clans wife. accused of killing Mrs Agnes Ann Leroi and Miss Hedwig Samuelson, has been futile.
 They had hopes that an appeal broadcast by Burton J. McKinneIl. student brother of Mrs Judd. Iu which he advised her return and the preparation of an insanity de- fense, would prove effective.
 Otherwise, they feared the wo- man. who appeared at a baggage room with her brother to claim two trunks in which were found the bodies of the two Phoenix. clinic employees might kill herself.
 "They never will get her alive" the brother had predicted earlier in the day.

Perhaps the most spectacular was in

has had two and elected new PreSi-

half a dozen other European countries

reasons. They included Finland, Hun
gary which changed governments
twice; Austria, Bulgaria, which had
three cabinets, and Rumania, which
had two. The Jugoslavian dictatorship
was ended, but the government re-
mained in the same hands
The South American overturns were
accompanied in several cases by vio-

The course of the year and Peru three.
There were presidential elections in
