PRAGUE, July Is R.-The de-
cision of Jaroslav Drobny and
Vladimir Cernik, Czechoslovakia' s
top tennis stars, to go into exile
caught the nation and their fam
lilies by surprise today.
A bitter disappointment to this
country's tennis fans and sports
editors, it also was certain to prove
embarrassing to the Communist
Party because Drobny had gained
high popularity recently by reach
ing the finals at Wimbledon.
Drobny's father. Julius Drobny
said he was taken aback at the
news of his sons decision. HI
said he believed Jaroslav probably
was influenced by attacks against
him several months ago-befor'
his Wimbledon showing-in th'
Communist-controlled press.
The elder Drobny termed thes'
attacks, which had criticized hi
son for alleged bourgeois habits
and LAX training" as nothing
short of disgraceful."

Insane Ohio Killer
Is RemorsefuI After
Leaving Tower Perch
By the Associated Press

LIMA. Ohio, July 15.-Raymond
Jutila. demented slayer, was tired
and sunburned today after his 20
hours atop the State hospital S
130-foot watertower.
He also was happy-and re-
morseful.
DOC, I'm awful sorry for all the
trouble I've caused you," he told
DR.. r. E. Bushong, hospital super
intendent.
The 35-year- -old insane killer
came down yesterday from his
perch on top of the watertower at
Lima State Hospital for the Crimi-
nal Insane. He was happy after
being assured that released con-
victs" would not harm his family
in Warren, Ohio.
The family had not been threat
ened, DR.. Bushong said; Jutila s
fear was just mental delusion.
The man had scampered up the
tower Wednesday morning and
said ne would not come down un-
til protection against "the released
convicts" was furnished his fam
lily.
To assure the protection, Z"
Jutila demanded that Police Chief
William johnson of Warren send
him q telegram. The message, he
insisted, had to be delivered by a
uniformed Western Union mes
senger.
When the telegram was deliv-
cred, Jutila kept his word. He
climbed down the ladder.
AS a reward, the insane killer
was to be permitted to visit with
his mother, Mrs. John Jutila, and
q sister, Mrs. Marie Dawson, both
Of Warren.
When the telegram arrived,
Byron Newland, a hospital super
visor who had gained Jutila's
trust. climbed UP the tower to the
first crossbeam with the message.
The slayer climbed down to meet
him.
They sat together on the beam,
reading the message. When Jutila
became convinced it was bonafide,
he quietly descended to the
ground.

Objective Study of Communism
Held Not Under Voticun's Ban

Catholics as to just which writ.

informant said bishops and dio.
cesar officers from time to time
will announce which literature
falls into the banned category.
Conscience Declared Test.
AS general rule, the informant
said, Catholics should refrain
from reading material their
conscience tells them is subject
to the church ban. In cases of
doubt. the parish priest should be
consulted.
Father Hannah said the church
sought to discourage people from
reading Communist propaganda
"but not the objective study of
communism"
For instance, literature written
to illustrate the true Communist
position would be encouraged" he
added. Further. books on Stain
and the Kremlin which present
the subjects collectively. without
bias" would be permitted reading
according to the churchman.
Father Hannah observed that
the ban on the reading Of the
Daily Worker would cut down on
its sale.
A Catholic confessing to know
ingly aiding Communists must
first renounce the sin, then apply
for dissolution from excommunica-
ton, he said. This requires event.

toward assignments to the Senate

gested that Senator Dulles be in
vited to sit in as a nonvoting
member of the Foreign Relations
Committee.
Senator Dulles was adviser to
four Secretaries of State and q
delegate to the United Nations
before he was appointed to the
Senate. Senator Lucas said he
thought the New Workers. expert
ence would be valuable to the
committee.
Morse Seeks Assignment.
There was talk among some Re-
publicans of possibly giving Sena-
tor Dulles a voting place on the
group while he is serving before a
special election in November to
fill the post vacated by the resig-
nation of Democratic Senator
Robert F. Wagner.
Senator Morse, Republican, OF
Oregon, who has tried and failed
before. made it clear, however
that If there is any Republican
opening on Foreign Relations he
wants it. He seemed likely to gel
the next vacancy there.
Senator Dulles himself made il
clear he wants no party fight over
his proposed assignment to For
eign Relations.
Senator Knowland, Republican
Of California, said he will leave
the Rules Committee to take a
place on the Appropriations Com
mittee which the Democrats have
agreed to enlarge by one member

The Democrats are moving Sen
ator Long. Democrat, of Louisiana
from the Rules Committee to the

will leave vacant two places on the

as civil rights legislation.

from Czech legation officials.
The security police officers said
they had instructions to protect
Drobny and Cernik against any
attempts by the Czech legation or
anybody else to interfere with
them"
Since the two players announced
their defiance of the Czech gov
eminent earlier today. the Czech
legation in Bern has been trying
repeatedly to telephone them here.
but Drebny left strict instructions
that no calls from the legation
were to be put through TO him.
Drobny and Cernik, who denied
that they were or ever had been
Communists, have represented
Czechoslovakia in Davis Cup COM
petition every year since the war.
They won the European zone
title in 1947 and 1948. losing to
Australia in the interzone finals
both times. This year, however,
they were beaten by France in the
European zone quarter finals.
After that defeat, the Commun-
ist-controlled press in Czecho-
siovakia launched a bitter attack
against Drobny, criticizing him
for what it called bourgeois
habits" and ''lax training"
The same press reversed itself
during the recent Wimbledon
championships, when Drobny ad-
vanced to the singles finals, where
he finally was beaten by Ted
Schroeder of the United States.
Permission Cancelled.
The two players had withdrawn
from the tournament yesterday
after the Czech government can
celed permission to play here be-
cause two Germans and a Span
lard were competing.
This morning they announced
they would play out the remainder
Of the tournament.
In q statement issued on behalf
of the two Czech players and in
their presence by Ernst Scherz,
head of the tournament organiz-
ing committee, the players said:
I'VE wish to state that we are
sportSmen completely devoted to
tennis and in no way connected
with politics. We, therefore, have
decided to respect Swiss hospital
ity and shall play to the end of
the Swiss championship tourna-

vent us from following our sport

Planning Association
Protests Parks Use
For U. ). Buildings

Protesting the use of park sites
for public buildings, the American
Planning and Civic Association at
its annual meeting yesterday en-
phasized the responsibility of the
Federal Government toward the
City of Washington in a series of
resolutions.
The association after two world
wars has "deplored" the continued
use of park lands in the National
Capital for temporary Government
buildings. Its resolution yesterday
did not mention Washington by
name, but declared park sites in
cities and counties should be pro
tected" from uses unrelated to
recognized park services.
Included in such uses are the con-
struction OF public and private
buildings on dedicated park lands,
the resolution pointed cut, for the
purpose OF "effecting fancied econo-
mics" Frequently the sacrifice OF
park values would be much greater
than the cost of suitable public
building sites, the resolution stated.
Just Shares of Expenses Urged.
The Federal Government should
recognize its responsibility toward
the Federal City, the association be-
lieved. by making available it's lust
share" of the expenses and main
tanning its essential supervision over
the legislation and administration
of the District of Columbia.
1t also indorsed recommendations
OF the Budget Bureau for reorgan-
izing and strengthening the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission.
In the future, a resolution said,
all public projects for structures and
highways in the District should be
submitted to the commission and
that It's recommendations should
stand unless overridden by the Dis
trlct Commissioners with a written
statement of the reasons.
The association generally reiter-
ated its support OF proper park
maintenance, low-rent housing, re-
development of blighted areas, re-
gional planning and other such pol
icies.
