Pvt. Vito Sala faces a possible death sentence on the charge that he deserted the 339th Infantry Regiment of the U.

But the general courts martial will hear an almost incredible tale of an amnesia victim who fought heroically with the French Foreign Legion in Algeria and Indochina. The tale is supported by French credentials and the testimony Sala turned himself in to American authorities at La Rochelle last October. He said he had suffered from loss of memory and asked them to try to trace his past.

U. S.
