Of us to shoot in our noun

when we were growing up,"
Mrs. Lucy Mitchell, of the $500
block of Fourteenth street
NV, told Chief District Court
Judge Matthew F. MCGUIRE.
Mrs. Mitchell, neatly dressed
in a blue suit and white gloves,
had been accused of shooting
another woman last October
with a .38-caliber revolver.
Police said the victim, Mrs.
Lettie Reddick, So, who lived
in another apartment at the
same address, had claimed
that Mrs. Mitchell, a widow,
had been giving Mrs. Reddick's
husband wine.
Mrs. Reddick, police said, was
shot in the neck, left arm and
lower abdomen.
Mrs. Mitchell pleaded guilty
to simple assault and carrying
a dangerous weapon. She told
Judge Mcclure today that the
story about her giving Mr.. Red
dick the wine was "a ne-the

in the bill as paintings,

other mediums. No money
may be used for art mainte-

recommendation for passage
by admitting that our public

Further, the committee said.

Then the judge asked Mrs.
Mitchell, who said she had been
a piano teacher here for many
years, where she had obtained
the heavy .38-caliber revolver.
Someone broke in on me
and a man lent me the
gun," she said. Then he died.
I didn't know what in the world
to do with it."
It was at this point that
Mrs. Mitchell told the judge
about her fathers lessons on
firearms.
"You didn't forget the les
sons, did you, when you started
shooting at 1872" Judge Nc
Guire said. "You had better
go back to playing the piano"
Mrs. Mitchell said she didn't
know if she could.

judge said. Forget your ex-
ploits as an Annie Oakley as

Attorney Joseph D. Di Leo
said Mrs. Mitchell hopes she
can live with relatives in
Georgia.
In giving her probation,
Judge MCGUIRE said he was
taking into account the fact
that Mrs. Reddick did not die,
that Mrs. Mitchell was 78 and
that she had never been in

Berlin Softening Seen
In Red Command Shift

BERLIN. April 19 (AP).-
Marshal Ivan S. Konev has
been replaced as Soviet COM
mander in Germany, Tass an
nounced in Moscow today.
The Soviet news agency said
Col. Gen. Ivan I. Yakubovski
succeeded Marshal Konev, who
returned to Moscow to resume
his duties in the Soviet Defense
Ministry.
Marshal Konev, a former
commander of the Communist
Warsaw pact forces, had been
the Soviet commander in East
Germany since August, 1861.
At that time, he succeeded
Gen. Yakubovski.
The removal of Marshal
Konev from command of So
Wet troops in East Germany
is regarded as a most signifi-
cant event by Western officials
here. The reappointment of
Gen. YakubovSki restores the
command situation prevailing
before the East Germans built
the wall across Berlin last
August. Gen. Yakubovski was
then the commander of the 20
to % Soviet divisions in East
Germany.
On August 10 it was an
nounced Marshal Konev had
come out of retirement TO
take over from Gen. Yakubov-
ski. Three days after his ap-
pointment, the East Germans
began putting up the wall to
stop the flight of refugees.
Word of Marshal Konev's de-
parture came as a surprise to
Western officials here. One di-
plomat said This is absolutely
unexpected" Another called 1t
"s very significant event" be-
cause it appeared to be the
clearest indication to date the
Soviets were taking the heat
off Berlin.
Marshal Konev has the repu-
tation Of being a tough and re.
solute commander. That was
assumed to be the reason fol
his return to duty when the
East was about to launch the
perilous operation Of sealing
off West Berlin. Under his

terested Government depart
ments.
Whether the Soviet Union
could accept a similar 80 per
cent cut without insisting on
Red Chinese participation in
the disarmament plan is some
thing for Moscow to decide,
officials here say.
There are several other rela-
lively novel concepts in the
American general-disarmament
treaty outline:
ZOnal Inspection
/. Inspectors no longer would
be required to be in place before
disarmament started. Opening
declarations on arms levels at
which disarmament would start
would be accepted on faith-a
radical departure for the United
States which is attempting to
meet Soviet complaints that
the West wants 100 per cent in
spection at the outset, but only
a small amount of arms re-
duction.
2. A new Zonal concept of
inspection, advanced by Har-
ward Prof. Louis B. Sohn, would
significantly narrow the area
of the Soviet Union which
would be inspected at the out
set. The principal military
powers would divide their
countries into a number of
zones. say 20, of relatively COM
parable military strength. Other
nations would then choose one
zone per year for detailed in
spection to verify the arms
levels declared by the home

fore the inquiry board tomor-

The Texas attorney general

Congress Urged
To Vote Plan for
Union Members
BY CECIL HOLLAND
Star Staff Writer

President Kennedy sent to
Congress today a proposal to
authorize Federal agencies to
withhold dues in Government
unions from the pay of civilian
employees.
Withholding Of dues would
require voluntary authorize
ton by the employe concerned
and he would be allowed to
withdraw his authorization at
reasonable intervals" President
said in a letter accompanying
q draft bill.
The White House released
copies of the letter which said
that the "check-off" Of dues
would be granted employe Or
ganizations Sufficiently repre-
sentative Of employees to be con-
suited on personnel matters"
The cost, the President
pointed out, would be borne by
the employe organizations.
Urged by Task Force
The Presidents proposal re-
suited directly from one Of the
recommendations Of his task
force on employe- management
relations in the Federal service.
The task force was made up Of
the heads of the Budget Bureau,
the Civil Service Commission,
the Departments of Defense,
Labor and Post Office, and the
Presidents special counsel.
"The draft bill," the President
said, "is an important step in
providing for employe-manage-
ment cooperation in the public
service. It will assist employe
organizations in representing
employees and will thus con-
tribute to more effective par
ticipation by employees in the
formulation and implementa-
ton Of personnel policies
affecting them.
"It win provide Federal en-
ployes with q convenient method
of dues payment which has long
been available to employees in
private industry and which is
widespread in State and mu-.
nicipal governments"
Asks Early Action
Mr.. Kennedy expressed hope
that Congress would act on the
bill promptly. The draft meas
ure did not list employe or
ganizations that would be given
the "checkoff" privilege.
A letter from Secretary Of
Labor Goldberg to the Presi-
dent, which the White House
also released, said the task
force will shortly submit other
proposals to carry out its rec
concentrations. These, it was
said, will include proposed
standards of conduct for
employe organizations and a
proposed code Of fair labor
practices.
It was pointed out that dues
withholding is provided in II
per cent of major collective
bargaining agreements.
Ten States have authorized
the practice and in SO States it
is permitted by law for State
and local governments.
The White House release also
said the practice has been in
effect for some time in the
Tennessee Valley Authority and
the Bonneville Power Admins
tration.

ate vicinity after the top men of

til nearly 5 am, pressing him
to bar the followers of deposed

Demands Listed
The military chiefs demanded
that Mr.. Guido:
/. Order federal intervention
in the II provinces still under
local control, replacing their
elected governors with federal
appointees approved by the
military.
2. Nullify the March Is, elec-
tions in which the Peronists

the National Chamber of Depu-
ties.
3. Again ban Peronists and
their allies, including the Com
munists, from political activity.
4. Scrap labor legislation the
military considers too favorable
to the PeroniSt unions.
After the meeting with Mr..
Guido, the service secretaries
met for three hours with their
top commanders. They were

ELISABETHVILLE, Katanga,
April l9 (AP) President Noise
Tshombe flew into Elisabeth
vile today after U. N. soldiers
with fixed bayonets deployed
against Congo government
troops who had prevented his
departure from Leopoldville
for "a hours.
I'VE must pay tribute to the
United Nations for all they
have done for my protection
and for the protection Of my
colleagues" the Katangan
president told a crowd of 5000
as he landed here in a U. N.
chartered plane.
The secessionist president
had been in Leopoldville for
more than a month for unity
talks with Congo Premier
Cyrille Adoula when he started
to return to his capital yes
terday.
Congo authorities ordered
fire trucks to block the runway
as his U. N. plane was taxing
for a takeoff and prevented
his departure.
Remain in Plane
Fuming at the delay, Mr..
TShombe and % other paSseng-
erS remained in the plane de-
spite the Steaming temperature,
while U. N. officials tried to
iron out the situation.
Robert Gardiner, U. N. opera
tions chief in the Congo, final
ly gave the order to U. N. Nj
gerian troops to clear the run
way and permit Mr.. Tshombe
to leave.
"A pledge given on behalf Of
104 nations cannot be brushed
lightly aside" said Mr.. Gardi-
ner.
The United Nations had
guaranteed Mr.. Tshombe's safe
ty and his freedom to return
to his capital if he would go
to Leopoldville to discuss condi-
tons for ending the secession Of
Katanga.
Eyewitnesses at the airport
said Nigerian troops with bay
onets ran to positions surround
ing the runway on Mr.. Gardi-
ner's order. and jeeps raced up
and down before Congolese Sel-
diers finally gave way.
Mr.. Gardiner said that, while
waiting 70 take off, Mr.. TShom-
be still talked of returning to
Leopoldville for further negoti-
ationS.
DenOunces Adoula
To the cheering crowd in
Elisabethville's main square,
however, Mr.. Tshombe spoke
bitterly of the Adoula govern
ment and praised the United
Nations.
"Adoula and I have not had
one real meeting yet" Mr..
Tshombe said. charging that
the central government acted
in bad faith and had no thought
of real negotiations. But he
said he would meet with his
cabinet in an effort to con-
trive a new approach to nego-
tiationS. .s
In leaving Leopoldville. Mr..
Tshombe said he was coming tc
Elisabethville merely for an
