19 (P)-A three-judge Japanese court today convicted Pvt. William S. Girard of Ottawa, of killing a woman brass scavenger on a "childish whim" and Kawachi placed him under suspended sentence for William Girard three years. Either prosecution or defense may appeal within 14 days, but there were signs that both were satisfied. The soldier also was put on probation for an additional year during which he must keep out of trouble in Japan.

But the judge said if Girard returns to the United States -as he will if the sentence is not challenged--his conduct in America will not concern Japan.

Girard's hands trembled, but the tension left his face as he heard the English translation of the sentence. The suspension provides Girard, whom the court described as a simple soldier, immature his thinking, must show good behavior for four years as an aftermath of the case that strained American-' Japanese relations. He is also to pay part of the court costs of perhaps.

With the other Central Snow, U.S. Wind ASSOCIATED Storms Slashing winds and tornadoes, flash floods, lightning and heavy snowstorms struck at wide areas of the mid-continent and the south yesterday, killing at least 14 persons. At least 25 deaths were attributed to the three days of bad weather. Nebraska listed six persons killed in snowbound highways over the weekend, and tornadoes killed three in Alabama Sunday. Property damage ran into the millions from devastating floods in 'Kentucky and Missouri and tornadoes in Alabama and Mississippi yesterday.

Several hundred families were evacuated because of the flash floods in Kentucky and Missouri which followed six days of rain. National guardsmen were called out to aid the evacuation in Kentucky. State-by-State Survey Here is the state-by-state picture of the affected areas: ALABAMA Tornadoes whipped thru Birmingham and a number of rural communities. Twisters also hit Rosa, Susan Moore, Forkland, and Tuscaloosa. Alabama police reported three persons were killed, two others are believed dead and property damage is high.

Twisters struck the western and northern industrial areas of this southern steel center. Among the hardest hit was a 10 block area in Ensley. It was damaged heavily and looting was reported. Anna Ruth Freeland, 14, was drowned in a flooded stream 50 miles north of Birmingham when she slipped off a log. Gerlous Hyche, 49, a miner, was killed in the ruins of his home.

Home Blown into Creek Ralph Dodd was killed near Snead's Crossing, 50 miles northeast of Birmingham, when his home was blown into a flooded creek. His wife and a child, also in the home, are missing. Seven other persons were injured in that area and two others in Marshall county, further to the northeast.

U.S. NO BALLISTIC 1945 AND A THE A. EXPERTS DEMOCRATS ISSUE 1957 by The Chicago Tribune. CARRISHPASS THE HAT TO HELP HOFFA Downstate Teamsters Sold $1,040 Notes Fifty downstate officials of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters have been asked to contribute $1,040 each to a legal defense fund for James R. Hoffa, president elect of the scandal rocked union, it was learned day.

Irvin Breidenbach, president of the Springfield local, said that officials of the Teamsters Joint Council No. 65 were asked for contributions at their monthly meeting in Springfield Nov. 8. The downstate joint council includes 14 locals in Illinois outside the Chicago area. Faces Two Trials Hoffa was elected president of the union six weeks ago, but has been barred by federal court order from taking office.

No date has been set for his trial in Washington on charges of rigging the Teamsters' Miami convention to insure his election. In another case in New York, Hoffa is awaiting trial on charges of perjury and conspiracy to wiretap his Detroit union headquarters. At the Springfield meeting, said Breidenbach, the purpose of the Hoffa defense fund and the manner in which contributions to it should be handled were explained by Elvin Hughes, Rock Island teamster boss and president of the downstate council. Asks Promissory Notes Breidenbach said that Hughes asked for contributions thru promissory notes for $1,040 made payable to Harold J. Gibbons, St.

Louis teamster boss and vice president of the international union. The notes to Gibbons were payable at the rate of $44 a month for two years. Breidenbach said that Hughes placed a stack of the promissory notes on a table and invited the union officials to take one. 66 We all took the notes," he said. "Hughes didn't use any pressure."

Ed Gein, 51, mild mannered 22 miles west of here, who 18-Evidence mounted bachelor owner of today confessed tonight that a scrub farm dissecting body of a slain Planfield business woman, may be a cannibal. Whether he may also be a mass murderer, as suggested by 10 human skulls found in his dilapidated frame home, or a pillager of fresh graves, as he tearfully insisted in an interview with Waushara county officials, was an unanswered question. Technicians in the office of the state crime laboGein in custody yesterday. ratory, located at Madison, subjected the skulls to scientific tests tonight in hopes of finding evidence to show whether they are the remains of persons who died violent or natural deaths. Indications of cannibalism were summed up tonight by Earl Kileen, Waushara county district attorney.

Body Found Hanging by Heels He said that the decapitated body of Mrs. Bernice Worden, 58, widowed proprietor of a hardware store in Plainfield, was found hanging by the heels from a hook in Gein's woodshed with all vital organs removed. The body was cleaned and dressed like a freshly butchered animal," he said. "Gein has admitted that he in Third Law of Motion Puts Zip in Rockets (Third in a Series) Early experimenters with -driven rockets erroneously believed that the reason those crude missiles were driven upward was because they generated what was wind called a strong escaping from their nozzles. It took another 150 years before Sir Isaac Newton, of gravitational fame, discovered the real propulsion cause, which he set forth in what is named his "third law of motion." Written in Latin BY ROY GIBBONS That maxim, written in crisp Latin, states briefly that for every action in one direction, there must be an equal reaction in the opposite direction.

This is the principle which governs the flight of today's modern rockets, enabling the rockets to fire their "reaction" motors which already have sent two sputniks circling the earth. A similar launching is expected to have an American 46 moonlet in orbit before long. Explanations of how the "third law" operates are seen in the recoil of a cannon as it fires its shell miles ahead, or a rifle's "kick" against the shoulder of the marksman when the bullet leaves its muzzle. The same effect also is observed when a chair is toppled by a cat leaping from its back to reach milk upon the sideboard, or the backward thrust of a rowboat terview from Collinsville, Madison county, declined to discuss the matter. He said the promissory notes were none of the public's business, and that the money involved is not union funds.

Members of the Chicago joint council No. 25 said last night that there had been no move to extend the collection of the promissory notes into the Chicago area. Peter J. Hoban, president of local 753, Chicago Milk Wagon Drivers union, who opposed Hoffa at the Teamster convention election, said, 66 We haven't heard a thing about contributions to a Hoffa fund our council."

Thus it is with the new outer space rockets, which move ever faster upward in a direction opposite to the hot gases belching from their tails, completely independent of the air-lift necessary to sustain a bird or an airplane in flight. That is why rockets can leave our atmosphere and cruise in near outer space, requiring only enough thrust to push them forward or upward into a void where they function even better because there is no air to slow their flight. 18,000 Miles an Hour To keep aloft in a free "fall" around the earth, a satellite discharged from a rocket's third stage must be traveling at about 18,000 an hour at an altitude of about 300 miles. If it travels faster than that, it will fly off into outer space. But it can't get up that speed immediately upon leaving the ground.

A miss of even degrees from the earth's horizontal plane can fumble a rocket's successful flight. At 300 miles overhead, however, it will encounter practically no air resistance because, at that height, air molecules are more than 40 miles apart, compared with the one one-millionth of an inch which separates them at sea level. The Third Stage Spin motors mounted on the rocket's tail will impart pinwheel rotation to the satellite and also to the rocket's third stage just prior to the time the moonlet is ejected from its protective cone by gentle action of a spring released thru detonation of an explosive-filled holding bolt. Once on its orbit, the satellite is kept coursing by a combination of two other natural laws. These are gravity and cenI on page 12, col.

Kileen disclosed that the woman's heart was found in a dish on a table in a room adjoining the woodshed which Gein apparently used as his dining table. Denies He Has Eaten Human Flesh "I asked if he intended to eat the heart and he said he did not," Kileen said.

"I asked him if he intended to eat the flesh of the woman and he said no. He denied that he ever has eaten human flesh." Kileen said he has personally come to no conclusion on the question of cannibalism but he is impressed by the fact that Gein regarded 1 the torso as that of a deer and may have been acting under a delusion that he was dressing a deer. Gein poured out his story of the dissection this afternoon after a return to the district attorney's office here Scouts he sang a tribute to the queen that went: "Freedom belongs to you. You are the emblem of our flag, red, white and blue." The queen, looking down from the royal box, smiled at the tribute. Pals with Gracie During the rehearsals, John Edward and Gracie Fields became great pals.

"You're a mighty handsome youngster," she said to him. He said Miss Wields was all right, too. The British star asked him if he planned to come to Italy. He said that when he finished at the Quigley preparatory seminary in planned to study for the priesthood and would certainly come to Rome some time. 66 Good," said Miss Fields.

"When you do, you must come down to Capri to visit me." A hug sealed the bargain. John, whose parents live at 4916 W. 32d Cicero, will spend the next four days with a British Scout who will show him the sights. Wisconsin R.

In a series of often vague and sometimes evasive answers to questions from Kileen, Gein admitted that 1 he visited the Worden hardware store Saturday morning and made a purchase of half a gallon of automobile anti-freeze solution from Mrs. Worden. He insisted that he has no memory of killing her. Gein said he suffered a memory blackout after he paid Mrs.

Worden 99 cents for the anti-freeze. The next thing he remembers, he said, was dragging her body across the floor of the hardware store. He does not know if he struck her or shot her, but doubts that he shot her because he had no weapon with him. Waushara county officials said there was a hole on page 6, col..
