Missing Judge Found
Dead in Lake Michigan

CHICAGO, April IS (AP).-
The finding of the body of
missing Federal Judge w. Lynn
Parkinson has climaxed one of
Chicago's most famous missing
persons cases. Still a mystery
is exactly how the 57-year-old
jurist met his death.
The discovery, however. ap-
parently resolved the knotty
legal problem of filling the
judges seat on the United
States Court of Appeals.
A passerby spotted the
judges decomposed body yes
terday floating face-down in
Lake Michigan near the north
edge of the Loop. This was
only several blocks from the
Drake Hotel, where the Judge
disappeared October 26, ap-.
parently sick and dazed.
Identified by Cousin
The body, identified by a
cousin. flngerprintS and iden-
tification cards, bore no ap-
parent marks of violence. An
autopsy report today said
everything was consistent with
drowning, a theory held by
many policemen since the
judges spectacles and UNI
nrella were found along a route
leading to the Oak street beach
last fall.
An extensive search by skim
divers then failed to turn up
clues. giving rise to speculation
the judge had met with foul
play, a theory still not entirely
ruled out.
His widow, Elsie Ruth, main
tanned until last night that
her husband was an amnesia
victim.
Judge Parkinson's son, Will
liam L. Parkinson, jr., who
owns a dress shop in West
Lafayette, Ind, said there last
night that his father was Ell
ther put in the lake or had
an accident and fell in"
He ruled out suicide, saying,
Dad wasn't the type to take
his own life"

family to have suffered from

to walk to his home a few
blocks away. He never arrived
at home.
In the next two hours, he
was seen having a few drinks
in cocktail lounges. Two men
saw him stumble down an un-
derpass near his Office, where
his glasses later were found.
A cab driver and doorman
helped him alight from a taxi
at the Drake. Between 6:l5
and and $50 pm. he was
seen lurching dazed down the
arcade of the Drake. Then
he vanished.
Because under Illinois law a
missing person my not bee de-
clared dead until seven years
elapSe, a problem arose over
Judge Parkinson's vacant seat.
Legislation was introduced in
Congress to create a new one.

dropped. President Eisenhower

 Both Adm. Post and Capt. Joe Spitler, project officer. explained the Pentagon's thinking on the present plan of defense and the reasons for conditions as they are.
 Would you liberate the world" " was the question posed the group by the Chamber. The answer was unanimously in the affirmative, but only after America was pro- tected from aggression.
 The Admiral and his party were guests at noon luncheon where Mayor Steffen Andersen presented Adm. Post and Capt.

Irish Troops Match Wits with African Witch Doctor

MANONO, The Congo, R - Irish JUN. troops matched wits with an African witch doctor to- day in an attempt to bring peace to this terrer- ridden mining cen ter.
 And the Irish appeared to be winning.
 Primitively armed Baluba tribes men roaming the streets agreed to let the Irish open a mile long stretch of road to the airport as an escape route for 73 frightened Belgian settlers huddled in tin mine company's guest house.
 The Belgians-13 women and 60 men - were trapped as hun dreds of tribesmen armed with old rifles, spears and bows and arrows sWarmed into the town Tuesday and attacked African police led by white officers.
 The Balubas, who in this area side with Congo Premier Lum- umba in his feud with Katanga Premier Tshombe, were inflamed by witch doctor who sold them magic formula he claimed made them immune to "white mems bullets"
 The outnumbered police re- treated to seek U. N. protection after bloody fighting in which 35 Balubas were slain. The only JUN. authority left in the town was a contingent of 140 men from the Irish 33rd Battalion and the JUN. blue helmet was the only badge of safety for a white man as bands of tribesmen prowled amid smouldering buildings.

Both Sides Accuse Other of Exploiting g Religious Issue

WASHINGTON, tR = The Re- publican and Democratic nation al chairmen called anew today for an end to the religious issue in the presidential campaign, even as they accused each others back CTS of trying to keep it alive.
 The new round of statements by Sen. Henry Jackson, the Dem ocratic chairman, and Sen. Thrus- ton Morton, the Republican lead CT, did little meanwhile to quiet the controversy concerning the Roman Catholic religion of John F. Kennedy, the Democratic pre- sidential nominee.
 Morton, noting a Jackson state ment that the mails are being flooded with anti-Catholic litera- ture, accused Jackson of trying to keep the discussion of religion alive in the belief it will benefit the Democrat candidate"
 Jackson, saying he knew of none from Republican party lead CTS, charged that the mailings were an effort to defeat Kennedy. Morton contended that Jackson made charges by innuendo that "he knows are wholly unfound- ed"
 In statement replying last night, Jackson called on Vice President Nixon "to publicy re- pudiate those who are carrying on campaign of religious bigotry or forever bear the consequences"

BEDFORD, Mass, R - Vapor trails which in the past have in dicated the presence of high fly ing US. Air Force jets, will be ended, the Air Research and De- velopment Command announced today.
 Air Force scientists said the break-through was reached after more than five years of research.

perimeter is a sort of no mans land. This is America, not West Berlin in Europe" That is the statement made by Judge Hubert Gilbert at the special meeting of the Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors with Adm. William s. Post, USN, of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Adm. Post and a group of about 20 officers visited Nome yesterday while on tour of AL aska military establishments.
 Judge Gilbert gave his opinion of the status of Arctic Alaska when he criticized the "heart- land" concept of defense which does not provide any defense of the coast. He asked "If under this concept of defense, would you consider pulling out of Pearl Harbor?"
 Judge Gilbert called attention to the fact that the nearest aerial defenses to Nome are at Anchor age, and when there is an incl dent in the northern part of our huge state, it takes about IT hours for help to arrive The defenses have become no defense and the psychological result is disturbing, He cited first the closing of Marks Air Force Base here because it was "too close to Russia and too dangerous for the troops" and compared it to the Soviet's 30 bases on the Siberian coast
 Pete Walsh called attention to the fact that when Ladd Air Force Base planes were with drawn to Anchorage, it was be- lieved these planes would be dis persed in smaller units through out the state-but instead they were concentrated at one base only-at Elmendorf.
 Walsh said, ''We are Ameri- cans, both white and Eskimo people of northern Alaska, and allies of the other 49 states. Let's make show of strength with Navy patrol planes based on the Arctic coast. This is America. We have good runWays, open the year around and good communi- cation facilities"
 Major L. Flanagan of the Army Advisor Group to the Alaska Ma tional Guard, explained the won derful work of the Scout units who are on "A hour surveillance and who report faithfully any thing unusual that they see or hear. These patrols know that it takes too long for any action to be taken after they report a sight ing in the air or in the water Flanagan said that defense unit of some kind based here would have good psychological effect on the people of Alaska and an adverse one on those on the Si- berian side who patrol our un- defended coast.
 Robert HarWood, of the Cham ber's Tourist Committee, said he felt that tourist travel to this area has suffered because we are too close to Siberia without any vis- ible defense. "Is it safe?" is the question asked by many tourist, HarWood said.
