Six Requirements Listed.
The document then listed six
minimum conditions for nations
to live together in peace:
/. A conviction that nations

Gen. Hershey also declared

added.
The general also said it was
ridiculous to hold that the

that in the home, church and

Described In Testimony Today

CLEVELAND R - The wrist
watch Marilyn Sheppard wore the

The coroner, pointing to a pic

examination indicates the brace
let (of the watch) was in position
when the blood stains were wet. I"
"It remained in position until the
blood was dry" said the coroner.
Gerber's testimony was aimed
at knocking down DR.. Samuel H.

watch from her wrist, later drop
ping it while ransacking the house.
The blood-stained watch was
discovered on the floor near where
Sheppard sat stripped to the waist

was a foolish grant. {"
NAL would like to pull out of
Meacham Airport and operate
from Boca Chica.
Permission Asked
Several months ago, through
ATA, National asked for Navy per.

denied permission.
NAL, according to its advertise

would like to move to Boca Chica.
Monroe County and NAL are in

over landing fees at Meacham..
CAA approval of Meacham Air
port and the $l30,0OO grant viii
mean that the county can go ahead
with its half-million dollar improve

These plans call for an extended
and paved east-west runway, a mo-
dern terminal building, lights so
the field can be used at night, and
paved parking aprons and taxi
ways.
