Gen. Clay Releases
Mrs. Ybarbo, Serving
5 Years for Staying
Killer of SoIdier-Husbond
In Bedroom QuorreI Is
Ordered Beck to U. 5.
BY the Associoted Press

FRANKFURT, Germany. April
15.-Gen. Lucius D. Clay today
freed Mrs. Wilma Ybarbo. who
had been serving a five-year SEN
tence for killing her American
soldier husband.
The American military gover-
nor ordered the Maiden tMass.)
mother returned to the United
States by earliest possible trans
portation to be released"
II do not believe Mrs. Ybarbo
to be a vicious person and I am
sure that the remorse of conscience
will prove punishment enough in
the days ahead" Gen. Clay said
in a statement.
Therefore. I propose to exer-
else the power OF clemency which
vests in me as military governor
to commute the sentence and to
order Mrs. Ybarbo to be returned
to the United States by earliest
possible transportation, there to
be released.
Mrs. Ybarbo. %, has been de-
tanned at Bad Wildungen. Her
son Jimmie. s. left Germany in
January for the United States to
live with relatives in Massa-
chusetts.
Mrs. Ybarbo was sentenced to 20
years in prison late last year for
killing her husband. Sergt. John
Ybarbo Of Goliad, Tex. during a
bedroom quarrel. She was con-
victed under both German and
military government law by an
American military government
district court.
A military government court of
appeals threw out the conviction
under military government law
and reduced the sentence to five
years.
In rendering his decision Gen
Clay said:
There can be no justified ex-
cuse for taking the life of an
other except in self defense and
self defense Is not established
in this case.
Nevertheless. the.. ~. many
extenuating circumstances. The
unnatural environment, the drink
ing parties and a general loose
ness of their home life created
conditions under which normal
behavior could not be expected.
Moreover, it is difficult to
separate mother from child. I do
not believe Mrs. Ybarbo to be a
vicious person and I am sure that
the remorse of conscience will
prove punishment enough in the
days ahead"

PUG Will Study

.|nFayCrusade
Hearing Is Gronted
On Refusal of Service
For Use in GumbIinq

United States Attorney George
Morris Fay's antigambling cru
sade came under attack from an
other angle today when the Pub
lie Utilities Commission agreed tc
hear arguments against the Ches-
apeake g. Potomac Telephone Co. s
phone removal policy.
Mr.. Fay's requests to the tele-
phone company TO discontinue
service to 324 subscribers already
have been questioned before the
Maryland Public Utilities Com
mission and in District Court.
The latest attack is against the
telephone company's regulation
itself. The company-made rule
which goes into effect officially
Monday. permits the phone COM
pany to refuse service if any law
enforcement agency says the
phone is being used or will be
used to violate the law.
The PUG had refused earlier to
become involved in efforts to re-
strain Mr.. Fay and the telephone
company from disconnecting tele-
phones. but the commission ap-
parently felt that the attack or
the reasonableness of the regula
ton was within its jurisdiction.
This regulation of the telephone
company was involved in MIR. Fay's
anti-gambling campaign. Mr.. Fay
advised the company he had com
petent evidence" that telephones
were being used to aid and abet
gambling violations.
Court Grants Restrainer.
The first court test of Mr.. Fays
request resulted yesterday in Dis
trict Court Judge David A. Pine
deciding to grant a temporary in
junction against MIR. Fay and the
telephone company.
Judge Pine ruled he could find
no evidence to show the telephone
located in Maryland, was used to
violate District gambling laws.
Mr.. Fay agreed to hold up his
aisconnect request in approxi-
mately 100 other cases until the
first case was decided. Asked what
will happen in these cases now
Mr.. Fay said the agreement will
hold good until Judge Pine signs
the temporary injunction in the
first case. 1t was explained that,
due to the time required to draw
up the papers and the courts
Easter recess, the papers may not
be signed for a week or more.
Restaurant Man Acts.
Action by the PUG to prevent
the telephone company xegula-
ton from becoming official was
sought by John l.. Ingoldsby. at
torney for Harry Katz. restaurant
proprietor who lives in the 310O
block of Walbridge place NV
and faces loss of phone service at
Mr.. Fay's request.
Mr.. Ingoldsby asked the PUG
not to let this telephone regula-
ton go into effect:
THE service is furnished sub
ject to the condition that it will
not be used for unlawful purposes.
Service will not be furnished if any
law enforcement agency acting
within its jurisdiction advises that
such service is being used or will
be used in violation of the law or
if the telephone company receives

It is expected that the mins

another feature of the amended
law, a very controversial feature,

is being tested in the courts as to
it's constitutionality.
Here are some of the main fea-
lures:
The maximum period for which
unemployment benefits can be re-
ceived has been increased from
% to &c weeks.
The waiting period between the
time of application and the time
the benefits began to accrue has
been changed from two weeks to
one week.
The maximum weekly payment
has been upped to $25 from $21,
and the minimum from SIS to $40.
A recipient with n child un-
der Is will be allowed $3.50 a
week extra. With more than one
child the allowance will be SIS.
Here are two of the controver-
sial features of the adenmed law:
If a person is unemployed due to
a labor dispute he may not be
paid benefits for that period of
unemployment.
The changed law requires that
claimants sign an affidavit stat
ing that they do not belong to
"subversive organizations plotting
to overthrow the government by
force"
This latter provision is now be-
ing court tested. 1t is claimed that
persons discharged on vague, un-
specified charges can be cut off
from the benefits arbitrarily on
the whim of an administrator him
self fearful Of losing his job.
These are the main amend
ments to the Ohio unemployment
compensation law.
