Judo Staying Trial
Resumes Tuesday
Pychiafrists Disagree
on War Vets Sanity

PONTIAC. Jan. 13-The first
degree murder trial of Ernest
Parsons, Detroit ex-soldier, re-
sumes Tuesday in Oakland County
circuit court.
Two psychiatrists. DR.. Lynn N.
Hershey of Detroit and DR.. ]. A.
Vatz OF Pontiac State Hospital,
have both said Parsons is too
dangerous to be allowed free in
society.
But from that point on they dis
agree. DR.. Hershey claims Par
sons is insane-a schizophreniac
and is therefore not accountable
for his actions.
DR.. Vatz says the killer is prob
ably sane, since he could recall his
actions on the night of Aug. z,
1914, when he confessed TO using
army-taught judo TO strangle his
estranged fiance. Louella Parfitt.
along 19-Mile road.
The statement Parsons made to
the prosecutor the same night was
allowed as evidence Saturday by
Circuit Judge Hartrick. Some de-
tails of the statement differ from
facts which Parsons related TO DR..
Hershey in private interview.
An autopsy report revealed that
tho pirl had been crirninally at
tackled shortly before her death.

Today the people Of Detroit and
the nation are being asked to give

death toll kept down.

raised in each community is sent
10 the national foundation. The
money Is used for grants 10 uni
versities for research into the
cause and prevention Of the dread

CLASHES RENEWED
ON ITALIAN FRONT
American Tanks, Make Un-
successful Effort To
Capture Salvaro

ROME, March 17-tR-Patrols
of the Allied Fifth and EighthAr-
mics engaged in sharp clashes
with German units all along the
rapidly-drying Italian front today
after forces of the U. S. First
Armored Division made an unsuc-
cessful effort to capture Salvaro,
a small town just east of the 3D.
logna-Pistonia highway.
The First Armored, which took
part in the break-out at Anzio and
the swift pursuit of the Germans
through Rome, gained temporary
control of a number of buildings in
Salvaro, which is only few hun
dred yards from the highway at
point well behind the stubborn
ly defended German positions at
Vergato. Heavy German mortar
and small arms fire from the
town and adjacent hill positions
forced the withdrawal later.
The main fight centered around
a thick-walled church, to which
the Germans chung stubbornly al
though the Americans at one time
held a portion of the building.
Today's mention of the First Ar
mored Division was the first Off
cial word in months of the famed
tank outfit, which has been i'm
modified by the weather and ter.
rain.
