oProbe Death
OF Louis Hicks

To End Mystery Case
Of PuroIyzed Veteran
By J. |. MichoeI
Stor Stoff CORRESPONDENT

LA PLATA, Md. July ia
Charles County grand jury today
was instructed to probe the mys-
terious death of Louis A. Hicks
by Circuit Judge j. Dudley
Digges, who said:
1T is very important that this
matter be solved if at all posi-
BILE and it narrows itself down
to you"
The paralyzed war veteran
was found dead March % in his
specially equipped car after it
crashed into his home six miles
west of here.
Authorities at first ruled the
death of the 34-year- war
veteran, paralyZed from the waist
down by Shellfire, as accidental,
but later called it homicide.
Relatives Sought Probe.
An investigation conducted
jointly by State police, Charles
County States Attorney Robert
t. Barbour and the local sheriff's
Office was started at the instiga-
ton of the victims relatives.
Judge DiggeS, in his brief
charge to the panel headed by
William c. Abel, an automobile
dealer of Marbury, said, after
the States attorney had indi-
Gated he would ask the Jurors
to first consider nine other
presentments:
I'm addition to these, the
States attorney wants to take
up with you another matter
which has been the subject Of
investigation. -.
This is very important
matter and one you should con-
slider thoroughly. The investiga-
ton has not been completed and
no conclusion has been reached.
I'VE feel that you should go
into the matter at this time and
have before you witnesses so
that they will be required to
make whatever statements or
answer whatever questions are
to be answered under OATH"
Presses for Conclusion.
Judge Digges' charge followed
an announcement by the States
Attorney that he would ask the
grand jury to probe the case in
an effort to bring it to conclu-
sion.
Mr.. Barbour said that he felt
that most of the more than 100
witnesses who have been quizzed
have been cooperative, but that
a few have apparently not told
all they know about the case.

They are as free of disease

gram on submarine and diving

Jewish Group Urges
End Of Arms Aid
To Arab States
,-6 THE EVENING STAR
Washington, d. G.
FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 3, 1854

The Jewish Community Coun-
Gil of Greater Washington has
asked the United States to re-
consider its Middle East policy,
to intervene in the Arab Israel
dispute and to suspend military
aid to Arab states.
The Council. which is made
up of representatives OF 109
Jewish organizations here. has
forwarded the following resolu-
ton to Government officials:
Whereas, the Arab states
have repeatedly rejected the
offer of peace rendered by the
State of Israel and. as reply
thereto, have intensified their
economic, political, and propa-
ganda war against Israel: and
Whereas, the Government Of
the United States has announced
its intention to send arms to the
Arab States: and
Whereas, many public state
ments and pronouncements by
authorized government leaders
of the Arab states indicate that
such unilateral supply of arms
to these states will not promote
the cause of peace or contribute
to defense against aggressive
communism, but is likely, on
the contrary, to delay peace,
stimulate Arab aggression
against Israel. provoke regional
conflict, and obstruct effective
plans for the regional defense
of the Middle East;
Therefore, the Jewish Com
munity Council of Greater
Washington respectfully urges
our Government to review it's
current policy in the Middle
East. and
Il. Bring to bear its prestige
and moral strength upon the
Arab states to agree to immedi-
ate and direct peace negotiations
with Israel, so that a permanent
peace may be brought about in
the Middle East;
