The February wind blew chill
through the gully but the jap
anese farmer was grinning ,as
he pushed his cart along the
narrow path. Only the day
before. he had seen Americans
from the nearby naval base
q mp a load Of gravel near the
main road. What the Ameri-
cans discarded he could use.
Pushing his way through the
weeds beside the path, the
farmer stopped short. He was
staring down at the body of a
dead man. ss.
Within an hour, two special
agents from the office of Ma
val Intelligence had Join d
Japanese police at the scene
Special Agent Bill Anderson
knelt beside the body to read
the name on the identification
bracelet: Apprentice Seaman
Ted Maxwell. He noticed a
tattoo above the wrist: Nom
and Dad"
Sailor Hat Is Clue
Poor kid" he thought, gent
" lowering the hand to the
frozen ground.
Special Agent Leonard Brock
showed him q sailor hat he
had found a few feet away from
the body. The name Stenciled
in 1t was Frazier.
The agents searched further
Anderson, q broad-shouldered
Texan towering above the tall
weeds: Brock, his stocky part
ner, looking in vain for a
weapon. They found no further
clues, but they knew they could
discount robbery as a motive.
In Maxwell's wallet. they had
found a military pay certificate
worth a dollar; a 1,000-yen note
and an American dollar bill.
A Japanese doctor performed
the autopsy. Maxwell, said the
doctor, had been injured on
January 20 but didn't die until
January 24-11 days before his
body was found. The bruise

he put Willis on the scene an
q witness. u
Now Anderson was ready for
Willis, but as the agent con-
fessed later to Brock. he wasn't
ready for all the chubby sailor
admitted once he was con-
WINGED that Franklin had made
him a witness.
Like Franklin. he told Of a
man approaching them, Of
blows exchanged. He admitted
joining in the kicks after Max
well went down. He told of
going to Kobe and making the
rounds of the bars-and then
he added something new.
Franklin and / were having
drinks two nights later" he
said, when Franklin told me
the guy we had the fight with
was still alive. I said, What
do you think we ought to do?'
and he said, We have to finish
him off. How good are you at
swinging?"
Armed With Rifle
II said I was pretty damn
good. I told him I'd take care
of it after ! had a couple more
drinks. I went back to he
barracks and looked in the gear
locker for a short piece of pipe.
l stuck it in the front of my
trousers under my jumper and
went over the fence the same
as before. When ! got to the
man he was quivering like
he had a bad chill. Il. hit
him on the top of the head as
hard as I could with the piece
of pipe"
When Willis was taken away
to join Franklin in the brig,
Anderson studied the state
ment. One point still bothered
him. He didn't believe the
Maxwell boy in his loneliness
had picked a fight. Franklin
was brought back for his fourth
interview.
willis has given us the
whole story" Anderson told
him. WED like another state
mept from you so any differ
ences between the two of you
can be resolved. We know what
Willis did afterwards"
Franklin started out as he
had before, but Anderson
stopped him.
Nov you're not telling the
truth, Franklin" he said. You
know Maxwell didn't start that
fight. Give us the real story"
"All right" Franklin said,
this is the truth. After we
went over the fence, we saw a
man standing in the gully with
his back to US. / said, Damn,
they've posted a security guard
here. We're going to have to
knock him out found a
piece of wood and went UP be-
hind him and hit him in the
head. He staggered but he
didn't fall, so I hit him again
several times. Then he fell
over on his back. We both
kicked him. Then we dragged
him into the gully where he
wouldn't be seen from the road.
I picked up my stick and threw
it up on the bank on the way
to the Green House"
Anderson had it all now.
Maxwell had died simply be-
cause he had stopped to puz-
zle out which way to go on his
first trip through the dark
woods. -

There was no motive for him

bias, a continuing source of en-
barrassment to the federal gov
eminent, cannot be eliminated by
voluntary action the State De-
partment has decided.
Pedro A. Sanjuan assistant chief
of protocol, believes there is only
one cure for the situation that
creates a critical problem for nom
white diplomats an open ac-
cupancy law.
Sanjuan, emphasized that he has
no complaints about the efforts of
a volunteer committee of Wash
ington real estate men to find
housing for non-white diplomats.
This works as far as it goes"
Sanjuan said. But this isn't
enough. The city of Washington,
as the capital Of the United States,
cannot be a segregated city as far
as apartments"
His comments were made after
news reports that the Civil Rights
Commission will hold hearings
next month on housing discrimin-
alton in the Greater Washington
area. State Department officials
have been asked to testify.
There has been considerable
concern in the Administration over
rebuffs to Negro diplomats seek
ing apartments in the Northwest.
Eight months ago the State De-
partment asked local real estate
men to a conference. Spokesman
from the State Department and
the White House warned that
housing discrimination in the ma
tons capital is damaging to our
foreign relations.
At that time a survey showed
that only 8 of 211 better-class
apartment houses in the North
west would accept non-white dip
lomats.
The volunteer committee of real
estate men, Sanjuan said, has
done a good job of handling re-
quests and finding apartments on
a spot basis. But he feels this
does not go to the heart of the
problem.
A colored diplomat, Sanjuan
points out, is just like any other
apartment hunter. He wants to
see several places before making
a choice. If he goes out on his own,
he is likely to run into racial bar
riers.
Non-white diplomats buildings
showing apartment available"
signs.
This rebuff or insult is greater
than a refusal to serve a cup of
coffee on Route 49," Sanjuan said.
This is in the nations capital
and the diplomats associate it
with the Federal government"
The real estate men think they
have done we'll in housing African
and Asian diplomats.
Frank J. Luchs, chairman of
the volunteer committee, says that
1t has filled requests for some so
apartments and houses over the
last eight months.
I'VE have handled every rea-
sonable request" he declared. I'VE
haven't seen any crisis"
At the start of March, he noted,
there were only three requests
