TAIPETI. Formosa, Dec. 21.--
Chinese Communist planes tried
to bomb the Tachen Islands to-
day but were driven of, the
Nationalist Defense Ministry
claimed.
The ministry said seven Red
planes flew over the Tachens at
8:35 this morning and dropped
more than 10 bombs which It
said missed their mark and
plunged into the sea. causing
no damage. It said Tachen anti
aircraft batteries and Nation

fed them as TUBS tTupoley

The ministry also said COM
naunist planes made Is sorties
in the Tachen area, some 200
miles north Of here, yesterday,
eight of them by MIG15s in adj
dition to TUBS and LAlls. These
sorties occurred early in the
morning and caused no damage
as the Red planes fled when

opened up,' the ministry said.
The stepped-up Communist
sorties prompted speculation

CLEVELAND, Dec. 81. - The
Sheppard murder trial jury
ended today's morning session
still deadlocked, but hope per-
sisted in the courtroom that this
will be the day Of the verdict.
The jurors started celebrating
today at 9.l0 am. fESTl and
recessed for lunch at 1920 pm.
At the noon recess the jury
had been in actual deliberations
for 36 hours and Al minutes,
with 2:l3 pm. today as the Tooth
hour since it received the case
last Friday.
Jurors Give No Sign.
Although the jurors gave no
sign again when they appeared
in the courtroom before being
excused for lunch. optimism
continued for a decision today
in the drawn-out trial. It was
based mainly on the fact that
in answer to Judge Edward
Blythin's question last night
they requested more time to
consider the complicated case.
They are nov in the fifth con-
secutiye day OF deliberations.
DR.. Samuel Fl. Sheppard, the
accused man. stands charged
with first-degree murder in the
bludgeoning death of his wife,
Marilyn. 81. last July 4. He told
the jury during the nine-week
trial that he was asleep when a
mysterious prowler attacked his
wife. He said the killer knocked
him unconscious when he ran
to the bedroom where the mur-
der took place.
Sheppard Appears Confident.
DR.. Sheppard, as usual. was
present today when the jury was
excused for lunch.
The air of confidence that be-
gan to show in his face Monday
night was even more pro-
nounced today. After Deputy
Sheriff James Kilroy unsnapped
the handouts. the osteopath
walked across the room with :
quick springy step. He smiled
slightly at members Of his fam
ily and then sat down beside
one of his three attorneys.
