Describes Death
The killer, from the Falkland

yesterday the death Of the Is.

jstudent from Ohio. His nara
.ttiye was the basis for a self
tdefense plea.
He said he didn't really COM
INIT car theft at the Gibsons
apartment, 8106 New Hamp-
shire avenue, Langley Park.
The trial transcript reports
this testimony:
II saw this car and got
into it and drove away because
there was no other way to get to
Washington -.
IT drove about a block down
the road and stopped for a stop
light and this,car pulled up be-
side me and this guy got out OF
the car and ! got out of the car
and started running because ]
didn't want any trouble with
whoever was in this car"

out that he jumped from the
car at University lane and New

II ran across this field and fell
down a couple times and got my
neck cut and started running
again. And somebody jumped
on my back I identified as this

mand, "Just what did he do?"
Kicked me and beat me and
everything. Knocked me around
and everything. Rolled me over

II am going to kin you for
fooling around with peoples
property. You should know bet
tier than that He kept it up
and I finally got up. I don't
know how l made it up. :"
Marcionette said Mr.. Gibson
was using a stick or club about
as long as a baseball bat. He
said Gibson hit him repeatedly
with it. Police testified Mar
Icionette had no visible cuts or
bruises when they picked him UP
shortly after the Staying. Police
who searched the field said they
found no club.
And then he got up again
and he came after me and
thought about this knife. 1t was

Il unwrapped it real quick
and I tore the paper off it. The

'Hi-Fi' Is Toking
Us by the Ears
BY JACK JONAS

To a fellow who remembers
leaping up to crank the old
Victrola when caruso began to
slow down in mid-aria, the
realization that "Hi-Ff" is
creeping in everywhere is
something Of q shock
The telephone company has
recognized the inroads by in
Guiding In its yellow Pages for
the first time this year a new
section-High Fidelity Sound
Equipment = covering about
eight pages.
And the annual Hi-F Show
starting Friday has gone ritzy.
1t has moved out Of the
cramped Railways Of Radio
Station WGMS, its site in past
years, to the broader spaces of
the plush Shoreham. The tone
of the show has become so
Hi-Fi that an admission
charge will be made.
They've tipped the qualifl-
cations for their queen, too
The Girl With the Golden
Ears" She'll need not only
golden ears this year, but
talent as well, maybe a golden
voice. 3
But as usual, when some
thing like Hi-Fi gets into fun
swing, problems are created.
A man we know, for example,
has called on a physicist
friend for help.
The man has a small home
in Maryland. The problem he
wants the physicist to solve is
how he can cram six square
feet of Hi-Fi equipment into
three square feet of space. The
physicist says he isn't prom

Andre Marty,
French Red

TOULOUSE. France, Nov. %
lP).-Andre Marty, 20, a mill
tant Communist who fought
with the International Brigade
in Spain but was later kicked
out of the party, died yesterday
in a hospital at Purpan near
here.
Although ousted from the
French Communist Party for
"deviationism" in 1852, Mr..
Marty considered himself a
Communist until the end. He
split with the party leadership
in France because he considered
it not militant enough.
Mr.. Martyrs career as Com
munist started when he was in
the French Navy and was con-
victed in 1919 of organizing a
mutiny. He got a 20-year sem
tence for that but was granted
amnesty by Parliament.
He was elected a Deputy to
the French Assembly in 1924,
and was still there when he
took of for Spain as an Or
ganizer of the International
Brigade in 1886.
Novelist Ernest Hemingway
made Mr.. Marty a figure in his
novel, For Whom the Bell
Tolls" Mr.. Hemingway said
Marty had a mania for shoot
ing "deviationists."
