Maryland
and
Virginia
- News in Brief
Showdown Due Friday
On Sothoron Plan

Sparks are flying in Prince
Georges County because of differ
ences over the Sothoron plan to
reorganize county government.
Organizations and individuals
alike are choosing sides for a
showdown Friday night at pub
lie hearing in Annapolis.
A bill introduced in the Cen
eral Assembly by State Senator
L. Harold Sothoron of University
Park, provides for the election of
a full-time commissioner to di-
rect Prince Georges affairs. He
would be paid $500. 1t also
provides for merit system and
a purchasing bureau, among other
changes.
Walter F. Mulligan, president
of the county Civic Federation,
last night denounced Mr.. Soth-
oron's proposal as a "subterfuge
designed to strengthen the DEM
ocratic organizations control over
the county" He said it is not
home rule. He will be among
those opposing the bill Friday.
Others opposed include the Ber-
wyn District Civic Association and
the League of Women Voters.
Supporters include the Hyatts-
Vile Citizens Association, the
Brentwood and Hyattsville Dis
trict Democratic Clubs. The
Prince Georges Chamber of Com
merce directors debated the issue
last night, then decided to take
no official stand.

Three Psyehiatrists
Testify Today in Trial
OF GI in Lily Murder
BY the Associased Press

Three pSychiatriSts were called
to testify today as to the sanity Of
a 20-year-old Air Force private
charged with Staying a girl known
as Lilly the Hungarian" in Paris
last May.
The private. Stanley Fred Edel-
baum of Brooklyn, is accused OF :
strangling Hungarian-born Eliza
beth Borik, %, in drab Mont
martre hotel room. He was on
leave at the time from his sta
ton at Wiesbaden, Germany.
Edelbaum's court-martial began
last month at Wiesbaden. 1t was
moved to the Boiling Air Force
Base at the request of the defense
to obtain the testimony of addi-
tional American alienistS.
Three Psychiatrists Testify.
The three psychiatrists who are
expected to testify for the defense
include:
DR.. Alexander sweel of Red
Bank, N. j., and DR.. Victor j.
Zielinski of Chicago. Now in
civilian life, they formerly were
in the aimed services in Europe
and observed Edelbaum after the
alleged strangling.
The third psychiatrist, DR.. Har-
ry August of Detroit, civilian con-
sultant to the United States Army
Surgeon General. observed the
private at Walter Reed Hospital.
Edelbaum was brought to Walter
Reed for a mental examination
after the girls death, before he
was returned to .s!e post stockade
at Wiesbaden pending court
martial.
Edelbaum had been a member
of an Air Force band. A barracks
mate described him at the start Of
the court martial in Wiesbaden as
a man who "practiced meaning
less exercises on his saxophone"
late at night.
Split Personality Claimed.
An Air Force officer here said
that two captains stationed at
Frankfurt, Germany-R. B. Null
lians and Herbert Hauk-told the
court at Wiesbaden that Edel-
baum has a split personality and
that he is unable to distinguish
between right and wrong.
Additional psychiatrists are ex-
pected to be presented by the
prosecution before the sanity
hearing is completed here.
The court-martial now plans q
later hearing in Paris. However.
if it should decide that Edelbaum
is insane, the court probably will
dispense with the Paris hearing.
The president of the board Is
Col. Theron Coulter Of New York.
Counsel for the defense is Capt.
Everett B. Smith of Austin. Tex.
The prosecutor is Capt. Francis
r, Coogan of Everett. Mass.

Democrats Begin Talk
OF Truman Third Term
After Luckey Visit

Truman in 80" was being
talked today as Democrats started
arriving for the Jefferson-J Jack
son dinner at the Armory Thurs
day night when the faithful will
pay $100 per plate to hear the
President speak-and at the same
time line the campaign chest.
The third term plug came from
George Luckey, wealthy Cali
fornia Democrat, who called at
the White House late yesterday
and afterward told reporters that
he had been talking to "the next
President of the United States. ="
Mr.. Luckey, who was a strong
Truman supporter in 1948. said he
told Mr.. Truman that he wanted
him to run again. and that the
President remarked graphically, IF
we had the same team again we
might do something" He said
the reference was to those who
backed Mr.. Truman before.
Asserting that "he's my boy!"
Mr.. Luckey said he saw no other
candidate than Mr.. Truman in
sight.
From time to time, the Presi-
dent has joked about the third
term question when it has come
up at news conferences.
That Mr.. Truman will set the
pitch for this years congressional
campaign in his Thursday speech
seems assured. He is expected to
speak about 80 minutes. which
will give him an opportunity for a
full-dress review of Democratic
accomplishments since 1948, as
well as aims for the future.
