Abbott to Die for
Understanding
OF School girl, Il

OAKLAND, Calf, R-Burton
Abbot was one of the prosecu-
TONS best witnesses at the trial
that convicted him of kidnapping
and murder, the jury foreman
said yesterday.
Abbott was condemned to death
in the gas chamber by the jury
that on Wednesday found that he
killed 14-year-old Stephanie Bry-
an. The April % crime, which no.
body witnessed, was called a sex
crime by the prosecution-"one
of the foulest and blacklist in Cal
ifornia's history"
ssWhat are you going to do with
a guy who lies right at you and
then laughingly admits it?" asked
the jury foreman.
Abbott's red-haired wife, Geor-
gia, beauty parlor operator,
heard the condemnation of her
husband, father of her 4-year-old
son, Chris, in grim-faced silence.
It was Georgia's discovery on
July Is of Stephanie's red purse
in the basement of the Abbott's
Alameda home and her call to
police that first pointed suspicion
at Abbott. Next day FBI agents
dug up Stephanie's brassiere and
books in the basement. Four days
later, dogs pointed the way to her
crude grave.
DR.. Paul Kirk, nationally known
criminologist, testified soil test
showed that clay nine inches deep
in the grave matched clay from
Abbott's boots. He said that two
strands of hair found in Abbott's
car matched Stephanie's head;
that Is fibers matched those of
two sweaters, petticoat and a
skirt.

Five Lost Sabres
Cost S2,OOO,OOO

TOKYO, R-Five us. Sabre
jets crashed in the Far East today
-four after they ran out of fuel
near Okinawa and one in Japan.
The pilots escaped unhurt.
The loss, running to about two
million dollars, was the costliest
single days toll of Sabres in the
Far East since the Korean War.
An Air Force spokesman said
four Sabres were returning to
Okinawa from a brief training
flight when they changed course
to skirt bad weather and ran out
of fuel.
One pilot parachuted to safety
in northern Okinawa. The other
three landed in the East China
Sea. One was picked up by a Jap
anese ferry and two by an Air
Force amphibian rescue plane.
In Itazuke, Japan the fifth pilot
escaped with minor scratches
when his Sabre bounced into a
field of radishes on takeoff and
started to burn.

Queen Elizabeth
To Visit Nigeria

LONDON, R-Queen Elizabeth
kissed her children goodby at
London Airport today and then
left by plane for threeWeek
tour of Nigeria, on the African
west coast.
Seven-year-old Prince Charles
and little Princess Anne went
aboard the four-engine plane with
other members of the Royal Fam
lily to say farewell to the Queen
and her husband, the Duke of
Edinburgh.
The plane was the same one
that brought the young Elizabeth
back from Africa in 1852, when,
at the outset of a world tour, she
learned her father had died and
she was Queen.
Nigeria once was the main
source of supply for the slave
trade and now is an industrial ma
ton on the brink of self-govern-
ment.
The timing of the Queens visit
is politically significant. 1t could
help promote the commonwealth
ideas among the Nigerians. And
it might give FLIP to British
trade, which, though still the
dominant factor in Nigeria's econ
omy, has been falling off while
German trade with Nigeria has
been advancing.

Guy Mollet and his ally, Pierre

shape up the French cabinet that
the Socialist leader will submit

next week.
Mollet, head of the French So

some 100 assembly seats in the
recent election.
Although far short of a major
ity in the 596-member Assembly,
they claimed the right to head up
a new government. Other parties
disputed them only briefly and
apparently are prepared to let
them try to form a cabinet.

Diplomats Puzzle
With Skepticism
Over Soviet Letter
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER

WASHINGTON, R-The heart
of Soviet Premier Bulganin's let
ter to President Eisenhower is
reported to be proposal for a
treaty of friendship between Rus
STA and the United States, coupled
with the suggestion that this
would promote world peace.
US. officials are studying this
latest Soviet move seriously but
skeptically in the feeling that it
is almost certainly a propaganda
maneuver.
Bulganin is understood to have
proposed a pact pledging the US.
and the Soviet Union to settle
their differences within the
framework of the United Nations
charter and to avoid interference
in each others internal affairs.
This latest Moscow initiative is
puzzling to diplomats. Just last
year Russia cancelled somewhat
similar treaties with Great Brit
ain and France in angry protest
over formation of the Western
European Union. The WEU is part
of the arrangement under which
West Germany is being rearmed
as a member both of WEU and
the North Atlantic Treaty Organ
ization (NATO).
Since the US. is a major partic-
ipant in this security setup as
NATO member, the same reasons
which led Russia to cancel pacts
with Britain and France would
seem to operate in the case of
this country.
