Colorado attorney general dies DENVER (API-Colorado At- torney General Duke W. Dun- bar died early Friday in a Den- ver hospital where he was taken Thursday afternoon after suffering a stroke at his stale- house ofice. A hospital spokesman said the 78-year-old Dunbar appar- ently died from the stroke at 2:05 a-m.

Dr. John C. Mendenhall said Thursday night the outlook for Dunbar was "rather grim." The 22-year veteran attorney general had remained in a "semi-comiloso- slate" since he was admitted to the hospital during Ihe noon hour Thursday. The spokesman said the offi- cial cause of death was listed as a cerebral accident. The hospital spokesman said no au- topsy would be conducted.

Dunbar had been assistant at- torney general from 1941 to 1948 and was assistant city at- torney in Denver from 19-18 to 1950. He was elected state at- torney general in 1950. Dunbar had attended a meet- ing of. the Colorado legislature's Budget Committee Thursday and became ill at his' office shortly after the session. Seaman gets 5 year sentence NORFOLK, Va.

(AP) Sea- man Appren. Jeffrey Allison has been sentenced to five years at hard labor for igniting a $7.5 million fire that crippled the aircraft carrier Forrestal. The 19-year-old Oakland, Ca- sailor did not change ex- pression Thursday as military judge Capl. William E. Neely found him guilty of arson, sabo- tage, destruction of government property and haarding a sel.

He also was convicted of five charges of possession and distribution of the drugs LSD and mescaline. Tlie verdict is subject to auto- malic military appeal. Neely's verdict in the case made the Forrestal fire the most costly single act of sabo- tage in Navy history, according to Navy sources. Testimony during the eight- day court-martial indicated that Allison had a drug prob-. lem and could have suffered' from a drug 1 the night of July 10' when the car- rier was hit by fire in the Navy shipyard here.

Prosecutor LT Kenneth M. Greene, in seeking a sentence "in the neighborhood of 20 years," said the Forrestal fire and the trial of Allison had dra- matied "the worst fears of the Navy of mixing; drugs with shipboard life." Allison's father Dustin a burly, sandy-haired California highway patrolman stared out a 'window, and his mother wept behind dark glasses as Greene asked Itfeely to make the young sailor an example to others. Biela's comet was observed to split in two in 1946, and vanished completely in 1865.
