Wayne W. Freeman's brother, Theron Freeman, was reinstated as a highway employee Friday only a few hours after his dismissal. The senator reported his brother's release Thursday and said it was politically motivated. Highway Commissioner James W. Martin, responding Friday, said the charge was "the opposite of the truth." He said Governor Chandler himself asked the reinstatement of Theron Freeman as soon as it was learned he was to be included in a general staff reduction.

An order directing the reinstatement went out Thursday, Martin said. Chandler called a news conference to support Martin's statement, saying: "Shorty (Theron) has earned the job on his own. The fact that Wayne Freeman is his brother has not been held against him."

Abe Hoffman, at whose home the relatives will "sit shiva," made this guess about the murder of his sister and brother-in-law: "I theorize that they didn't have much money in the store when someone tried to rob them. Whoever it was got violent when no money could be found."

Freeman said, "My reason for believing that pressure was about to be brought to bear with respect to my services as a legislator stems from recent statements by the Governor to the effect that I could not oppose him." Last November Chandler said Freeman could not be listed as unfriendly toward his Administration since Freeman's wife and brother worked for the State.

"I have never been against the Governor for the sake of opposing him," Freeman said Friday. Freeman, with a record of opposition against the Administration in the 1956 Legislature, had been listed as one senator who might be friendly in 1958.

3 4P-The United States Court of Military Appeals Friday set aside the rape conviction of Airman Second Class James L. Ballard, Paris, on grounds that rulings by the court martial law officer had the effect of aiding the prosecution. Judge George W. Latimer, who spoke for the court, said the law officer repeatedly told the complaining witness that she need not answer questions of defense counsel if her answers would incriminate her. The questions sought to impeach the character the witness identified only as a female member of the U.

S. Air Force. "To warn and reward could only have been to induce her to exercise the privilege (against self incrimination)," Latimore wrote. Says Witness Protected The net result of the law officer's method of operation, Latimer said, "was that the complaining witness was SO protected that she escaped having to answer questions touching on other sex offenses which had for their purpose showing of her alleged unchaste character. Latimer also said the law officer alerted three defense witnesses of thetr privilege against self-incrimination and commented: "It seems axiomatic that the law officer was more concerned about the of the witness than the rights privileges, of the accused." On the court-martial conviction, Ballard was given a badconduct discharge and a oneyear sentence.

The appeals court, in setting this aside, said the Air Force may order a rehearing for Ballard. Louisvillian, Gilliland, Gets Highway Post The Courier-Journal Frankfort Bureau Frankfort, Jan.
