Traitor Gels
New Reprieve
Supreme Court
to Review Cose

DETROIT, April Is - (P) -
Once more in solitary confine-
ment Max Stephan was waiting
anew today for the hangman-
or for the courts or the Presi-
dent to save him.
The convicted traitor, whom
the United States Supreme Court
granted stay of execution yes
terday few hours after he had
heard he was to die April q,
was back in the Federal Correc-
tional Institution at Milan after
his brief court interlude.
Arrangements for hanging
Stephan were left pending in
view of the Supreme Court de-
cision, which presumably per-
mits counsel Is days in which to
appeal for a rehcaring. Thus
Nicholas Salowich, Stephan's at
torney, has until April 80 to file
his petition.
On April 5, the Supreme
Court refused TO review the case,
and yesterday Federal Judge Ar
thur j. futile fixed April q as
the exacting date. Last summer
Judge Tutttc had sentenced Ste
phan to hang Nov. l3, last, but
appeals delayed execution.
If the Supreme Court again
turns Stephan down, his last
hope will lie in a request for
presidential clemency.
In recent weeks Stephan has
sought the consolidation of re-
ligion, Warden Cecil j. Shuttle
worth of Milan said. A few
weeks ago, the warden said, Ste
phan asked an interview with
the Rev. c. e. Ferguson, Institu-
ton chaplain Since then there
have been several such inter.
views, Shuttleworth said.

Fomous Athlete
Still Missing
BY PAUL CHANDLER

ANN ARBOR, MICH. April
15-(P)-A Nom and Dad and
campusful of shocked students
waited tensely today for a scrap
of news that would say Tom
Harmon is safe.
Lieut.. Thomas Dudley Har-
mon, one of the great football
players of all time, is missing in
the Latin-American area. The
war department informed his
parents of this-with no further
detail-in a brief telegram last
night.
Stricken first with grief, his
parents then swallowed the
news and insisted Immediately
that Tom was not dead, that "old
SO" had not scored its last
touchdown.
Harmon, an All-American at
Michigan in 1889 and 1910 and a
gridiron star since his high
school Freshman days. left the
Continental United States two
weeks ago in a bomber inscribed
with his familiar Jersey number
-98. "Old-98-Little Butch" he
called the plane.
From the Caribbean area he
wrote his parents on April 4. The
war department said he had
been missing since April 8.
We're praying said his
father, Louis A. Harmon, TON
is strong and knows how to take
care of himself"
Tom was the best-known foot
ball player in University of
Michigan history. He scored
