Rep. James A. Stanley, D., Conn.
to instruct the house confcrecs To

arms embargo In the neutrality
bill.
The neutrality bin already has

necied positive sentiment for
repeal. reversed Its stand
taken the night Of June 30
during the regular session.
when 10 adopted = modified

WIDOW SAVES
LIFE OF MID
AIR SLAYER!
Pletch Sent to "Pen"
For Rest of Life;
Swears He'll Never
Ask for a Parole

STATE PRISON. jefferson
City, Mo.-Ernest Pletch, %,
whose mania for flying drove
him to murder in mid-air,
started an earthbound exist
ence behind prison walls to-
day, his life spared by the
woman he widowed.
He had placed in court records
vow never to seek liberty. Thus
he had closed his world forever to
the skyways in which. in the brief
span of four months. he had etched
a bizarre career-Indianas flying
Lochinvar," stealer of planes, the
flying fool" kidnaper. murderer.
The surprise conclusion Of his
case occurred at Macon, Mo, yes
terday. At that moment he stood
before Judge Harry Libby. heard
a lawyer plead him guilty to the
first degree murder of Carl Bivens.
50, Brookfield flying instructor,
and heard this question asked:
'1n view of the fact that I
am about 10 mete out TO you
the lesser of two punishmeDts
for your crime. do you swear
that you will never seek
parole?"
81 do"
Carl Bivens' widow, Eta, mother
of two grown sons, had made IL
possible. She had asked the state
to spare his life, but put him
away where he won't ever get out
to do any more harm"
Mrs. Bivens told United Press
in Brookfield today that she was
motivated, in a measure, by her
sympathy for Pletch's elderly
parents.
In the murderer's final confess
sion, he said he wanted Bivens'
plane at any cost. When they took
off Friday, he was turning over
in his mind how he might get 1t,
and he had a pistol.
Bivens seemed to like him,
praised his flying skill and sug-
gested he ought TO become a COM
mercial pilot. Their conversation
carried them far from Brookfield.
over adjacent Macon county.
"For some reason, suddenly
decided to XIII him." Pletch said.
when he turned his head, 1 put
the pistol close up and fired. He
slumped over, throwing forward
the stick, and the plane plunged
down.
II shot him again In the back
Of the head. l pulled him out Of
the seat, and caught the stick just
in time to right the plane. I came
down right away and dumped
him out"
