tContlnued from First Page0
June as chief of the Associated
Press bureau there.
Shortly before his arrest he had
informed the United States EN-
bassy he was being shadowed.
At the time his arrest was an
nounced, Frank Starzel, general
of the Associated Press,
said the AP knew no basis for the
charges against him.
Mr.. Oats had been writing for
the Associated Press since 1897
except for four years when he
was in the United States Army
during World War II.
Clements Trial Seen Set.
The Czech announcement ot
April rs said the charges against
him included activities hostile to
the state. gathering and dissent
mating information considered Sc
cret by Czechoslovakia and
spreading malicious information
regarding the Czech state through
illegal news channels. The an
nouncement said he had misused
Czech citizens in his activities.
Western sources in Prague spec
ulated that his arrest was de-
signed to set the stage for the
trial of Vladimir Clements, for
mer Communist foreign minister
who is now in jail on charges OF
anti-Moscow Titoism.
The Prague report today said
it was believed the correspondent
may be given a public trial before
the state court in Prague.
Following Mr.. Oats arrest, the
United States Government on
June 4 banned travel to Czecho-
slovakia by private American
citizens.
4 Others DISAPPEARED.
The American Government took
similar action against Hungary
after the arrest of Robert A.
Vogeler on spy charges by that
country in November. 1949. Mr.
Vogeler who made a so-called con-
fession at a trial at which he was
sentenced to Is years in prison
repudiated the confession after
he was released last April. He said
he had been under severe mental
moral and physical pressure. After
his release the United States
rescinded its ban on travel to
Hungary.
Four other employees of the Asso-
ciated Press in Prague, all Czechs
disappeared in the month before
Mr.. Oats arrest. Presumably they
too. are being held as defendants
or witnesses.

Shooting In Embassy
Seen by Cuban Police
As Staying, Suicide
BY the Asseeiosed Press

HAVANA, June 19.-Cuban au-
thorities today ordered an autopsy
which they hope will shed some
light on the strange case Of a
United States Marine sergeant
and a Cuban night watchman
found dead in Offices of the Amer
lean Embassy yesterday.
Sergt. Robert J. Sheldon, %, of
Parishville, N. Y, an Embassy
guard. and the watchman, Angus
tin Fernandez. Ct, were found in
the Embassy's visa section early
yesterday. Each had been shot in
the head.
DR.. Jose Diaz Padron. chief Of
the the police crime laboratory.
said 'the scientific facts now
available all indicate" that the
Marine sergeant shot the watch
man, then killed himself"
But, he added, "Of motives, we
know nothing"
Pistol Beside Body.
Others familiar with the case
pointed out that Sheldon had been
found lying on narrow couch
with his pistol beside him. They
theorized that, If he had shot
himself. the kick of the gun would
have hurled it to the floor, or that
1t would have been found clenched
in sis hand.
DR.. Diaz Padron piid he based
his theory on ''lack of any evidence
that a third person was present,
or physical evidence at the scene" /"
and on a parffin test showing that
the sergeant recently had fired
the gun"
The police official added that
Sergt. Sheldon's pistol-a .45-cal-
iber automatic-had been fired
twice. that it was the only weapon
found in the Embassy, and that
two cartridge shells found near
the bodies were fired from the
gun.
He is studying the slugs which
killed the two men to determine
whether they were fired from
Sergt. Sheldon's pistol. Finger
prints on Sergt. Sheldon's gun
are being studied to see if any
other than his own appear.
No Signs of Robbery.
The United States Embassy re-
port on the incident did not dis
close how or why the two men
were shot. It said there were no
indications of any attempted rob-
berry,"
Friends of Sergt. Sheldon, who
played cards with him before he
came on guard duty just after
midnight Sunday, said he ap-
peared normal.
Sergt. Sheldon was a native of
Hopkinton, N. Y. His mother, Mrs.
Ruby Elizabeth Sheldon, lives in
Parishville, N. Y. A sister, Mrs.
Homer Kingsley, lives at Massena,
N. Y. Sergt. Sheldon served with
the Marines in China for two
years.

Jackson 10 Hear Plea
Thursday 10 Halt Top
Reds Imprisonment

Supreme Court Justice jackson
will hear plea Thursday to pre-
vent imprisonment of IL leaders
Of the American Communist Party
until the fall court decides whether
to reconsider it's June 4 decision
upholding their convictions.
In petition filed yesterday, the
ii men asked the court, now in
recess until October, to reconsider
it's ruling that they were properly
convicted of conspiracy to teach
and advocate overthrow of the
Government by force and violence.
"For the first time in the history
of this country" the petition
stated, "a political party is being
illegaliZed. The decision may well
be construed by law enforcement
authorities to impose a ban of
outlawry upon the Communist
Party"
The June 4 decision did not out
law the party. 1t upheld constitu-
tionality Of Smith Act sections on
which the party leaders were con-
victed in Federal Court in New
York. The ruling also spelled
prison terms ranging from three
to five years and $4,000 fines for
the men.
To Argue in Closed Session.
Attorneys for the II filed re-
quest yesterday for a stay of the
Supreme Courts mandate until
the court acts on the reeonsidera-
tion petition. The mandate Or
dinarily would be issued June 20
and the Communists would go
behind bars soon thereafter.
Justice Jackson will hear Gov
ernment and defense attorneys
argue the stay petition in a closed
session in his chambers Thurs
day. At the same time he will
consider further request to stay
jail sentences imposed by Federal
Judge Harold r. Medina on six
attorneys for contempt OF court
in their conduct as defense coun-
sci for the II defendants.
In a legislative development yes
terday affecting one aspect of the
problem of defining and discover
ing subversive activities the House
defeated a measure involving the
conflict of interest" laws.
That issue was at the root of
the recent resignation of members
of the Nimitz Commission on In
ternal Security and Individual
Rights. They resigned because
they could not be assured exemp-
ton from the law banning former
Federal employees from doing busi-
ness with the Government for two
years after leaving Government
service.
Would Exempt Attorney.
The bill defeated by the House,
164 to 100, would have exempted
Robert T. Murphy from that pro-
vision. Mr.. Murphy, a Washing
ton attorney. has been named to
conduct Senate investigation of
the 1850 election campaign of
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio.
A proposal to exempt the Nimitz
commission members had been
added to the bill but was removed
when sponsors found it would be
defeated. The Murphy exemp-
ton, however, Jared no better.
Representative Brown, Republi-
can. of Ohio, who managed SEN
ator Taft's campaign for the 1948
presidential nomination. declared
the matter was too important to
be decided under a rule that pre-
vented debate.

Modern MARRIAGE
Don't Neglect Husband While
Looking After Your Children
By Dr.. Poul Popenoe

If q woman neglects her chill
dren, she may be arrested. =
But suppose, instead of neglect
ing her children. she neglects hus-
band in order to avoid neglecting
her children? What's going to
happen to her then?
That seems to be the predica-
ment of Mrs. S.
II have three children to take
care Of" she said. "The oldest is
continually fussing because he
doesn't get enough attention"
How old is he?"
Hes %. I'm married to him.
The other children are l and 3
years old"
THAT does make it difficult" I
smiled. His interests naturally
would be a little different from
those of the younger children"
Not so much" she retorted.
"All three of them want to hang
on me. want to be fused over and
babied. After all. the kids are his
as well as mine. DR.. Popenoe. and
I claim he ought to look out for
himself while I look out for them" !"
That's the situation that exists
in many other homes. and it's a
dangerous one-dangerous for
every person involved. Mrs. 8. is
doing her little ones harm by
babying them too much. and she
also is running the risk Of seeing
them grow up without . father,
If she drives her husband out Of
the house.
OF course, some husbands are
really very babyish. Just as some
wives are, but In this instance Mr..
s. had plenty Of reason to COM
plain, as I found out during many
weeks of counseling with the pair.
His wife was not trying to be a
wife: she thought 1t was enough
to be a mother. He had to get
his own breakfast. so that she
could look out for the children.
Half the time he had to get his
own supper, so that she could take
care of the children. She wouldn't
go out with him in the evening.
She couldn't leave the children.
And so on.
I had to show Mrs. s. that the
husband. not the children, should
have first call on her time, to
considerable extent, for four rea-
sons:

He had priority!
