Playboy Gets
Seventeen
Prison Term

Z LONDON R-Debonair Harold
Lough White, long a dashing figure
in the gilded high society of Lon
don's Mayfair dptrict, was SEN
fenced Monday to seven years
in prison as a safe-blower.
The 46-year-old playboy, who was
on first name terms with many
socialites, was exposed by police
witnesses as big time thief known
to admiring underworld associates
rs Peter the Potter"
Sentenced with Lough White was
his intelligence officer" Gordon
Simpson, IS, who drew a six-year
term. An insurance broker, Simp-
SON tipped the mastermind off to
the whereabouts Of heavily insured
valuableS.
Two other accomplices--'cat
burglar" George Chatham, AZ, and
cracksman Robert Melrose, 40
got 10 years apiece because they
had long criminal records.
All four were charged specifical-
" with blowing a Mayfair jewel,
er's safe last July and making off
with 100000 worth of gold leaf.
Chatham, an expert at stealthy
second story work, brought the
gang to grief. Detectives who ar
rested him on suspicion found frag-
ments of metal from the dyna-
mited strongbox embedded in his
pocket comb.
Lough White, the son of a doc.
tor, once owned a fashionable
night club in Mayfair. He lived on
a grand scale, with two private
airplanes, yacht, three automo-
biles, a town house and country
cottage.
His only previous brush with the
law came five years ago, when he
was sentenced to IL months for the
somewhat more respectable crime
of illegally exporting planes to
Israel.

Successor For

Named Thurs.

TOKYO R-- Brain trusters of a
strange conservative-Socialist coal
ition that drove Prime Minister
Shigeru Yoshida from office hud-
died today to bargain over his
successors
The coalition agreed to call a
vote for a new prime minister
tomorrow in the lower house. The
Diet approved extension of its spe-
cial session through tomorrow for
the balloting.
Ichiro Hat0yama, who fayors in
creased trade with Red China
within a framework of friendship
with the West, appears to have the
inside track.
But he may have to pay a stiff
price to get Socialist backing.
The Socialists are reported de-
manding that Hatoyama rule only
for month or two and then call
new elections which the Socialists
think will bring them big gains.
The threat of a comeback by
Yoshida's Liberal party probably
will help keep the Socialists in line
behind Hatoyama.
Yoshida turned over the reins
of the Liberal party TODAY to his
deputy Taketora Ogata. The Lib
erals probably viii nominate Ogata
for prime minister. They have 1856
votes. The Democrats have 12O
and the Socialists 133, for a coali-
ton total of 253.
Leading japanese newspapers
said today the 76-year-old Yoshida,
who led defeated Japan back into
the mily of nations, was
stabbed in the back by leaders
OF his own party.

Sheppard has been described at
his trial as an even-tempered hus-
family. Loomis also was called a
mild man who was devoted to. his
wife and two children.
Sheppard has admitted an ex-
tramarital romance with pretty
Susan Hayes, "a, a former tech

Loomis had romantic ties with the
attractive divorced daughter of a
former mayor of a town near De-
troit.
