vorgnan's effort to regain her
American citizenship. an eff
fort she carried to the SUI

Wisconsin where her family
had been deeply rooted for
generations. In 1899 Rosette
Serge met Alessandro Sa-
vorgnan, who was then serv-
ing as vice consul in st.

 'FTo everyone he was the man in the green bathrobe - the man who did most to get the guests out of their rooms," said Charles M. Gilman of Gilman, Conn.
 The ex-footballer at the Uni versity of Kentucky, now 49, made repeated trips back into the hotel to warn other guests and help them out.
 He himself said he didn't do anything but wake people up" after hearing the screams of hotel maids as they jumped or fell from the top story of the five-floor Am bascciatori Hotel on Rome's famed Via Veneto.
 Although some of the guests managed to pack their bags before fleeing to the street, few slipped into the first thing they could grab. Kelly's wife, the former Carol Henon of Boston, donned a plaid bathing suit

"A Juvenile Delinquent By Any other Name

WASHINGTON, lR inn A kid holds up a store. All police know is his nickname: Bugle Head. How do. they pick Bugle Head up?
 Police in Washington solve the problem with file of more than 10000 nicknames.
 Expanded every day by arrest and investigation reports, the file matches nicknameS with the reg ular names of many of the city's young troublemakers. A nickname could be the clue that solves a case.
 Police said the old standbys were most popular: Sonny, Butch and Buddy. But Baby Brother, Country, Duck, Bubbles and Blue are moving up.
 Others on the list include Bub- ba, Frog, Fat Daddy, Bird Brain, Heavy, Dog, Greasy Squirrel, Thorn Head, Ape, Big Head, Bean Bucket, Carrot Nose and Chow Mein.

Herter Reports on Geneva Stalemate

WASHINGTON, LR - Secretary of State Herter today gave Presi- dent Eisenhower an hour-long re- port on the deadlocked Geneva foreign ministers talks, now re- cessed until July 13.
 After the conference, Herter confirmed he will go on nation wide television and radio Tuesday night at 8 pm. EST, to tell the American people about the thus far futile efforts to reach agree ment with the Soviet Union re- garding Berlin and other problems.
 A reporter asked about pros poets for an eventual summit con- ference of the Western heads of government with Soviet Premier Khrushchev.
 "That is something I just don't want to go into at the present time" Herter replied.
 Herter flew in Sunday from the 1rultleSS first round Of the foreign ministers meeting. He said then the Soviets had revealed that their real aim is to absorb free West Berlin and keep Germany divided until they can bring the whole country under Communist influence.
 U. s. authorities figured the best course for the West was to stand firm and see what the Soviet Union comes up with when the Geneva foreign ministers confer ence resumes July 13. That meet ing recessed Saturday after six weeks of deadlock.
 Washington's view was that Britain, France and the United States had hit rock bottom in the concessions they could offer the U.SS.R. on Berlin. But officials intended to return to Geneva still willing to bargain sincerely if the Reds, forsaking their uncompro- missing stand, will do so too

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, LR - All four white youths convicted of raping a Negro coed were handed life prison sentences today by Cir cult Judge w. May Walker.
 Life sentences were the max imum possible under the June IA verdict of guilty with a recom- mendation of mercy.
 The electric chair would have been automatic if the jury had not recommended mercy. No white man ever has gone to the chair in Florida or any other state for raping Negro.
 In pronouncing sentence the white-haired 54-year-old jurist told the four he had never imposed less than death sentence or life imprisonment on conviction of rape.
 The four youths paled as the sentence was pronounced but showed no other trace of emotion.

 Sims, an old political buddy, said he twill see Governor Long again this afternoon.

 It. Gov. Lether Frazar, mean while, still not clear whether he is acting Governor, indicated he expected a legal answer to that headache Tuesday, instead of to- day.

 l. Is Governor Long legally insane?

their movements and numbers
that exist in certain given areas.
Much of the first field work will
be done on the Whitefish range
near K~alispell. Jonkel received
his B. S. and M. S. degrees in
