Dismiss Murder Raps Against 3 Accused of Killing LI Airman (Special to Newsday) Roswell, N.M.-Murder charges were dismissed over the week end against a man and his two sons accused of killing a Long Island airman. At a preliminary hearing Saturday, Justice of the Peace R. Perry Bean ruled that the shooting of Airman Daniel L. Jarrett, 22, of 66 Rock Hill East Hills, was "justifiable homicide." The motion to dismiss was made by defense counsel William O. Osburn and was unopposed by District Attorney Patrick Hanagan.

Jarrett was killed at 1:15 AM Saturday when he left his guard post at Walker's Air Force Base and went on a shooting spree. Hanagan said Jarrett went past the home of Ben Lucero, 55, and shot at a barking dog owned by Lucero. Jarrett continued toward an abandoned barracks building nearby and shot through some windows, returning by way of the Lucero homestead, Hanagan said. Hanagan said Jarrett saw Lucero and Lucero's sons, Clement, 26, and Anselmo, 23, and shouted: "Stop, I've got a gun." Lucero shouted back: "Hold it. We've got guns too." Jarrett fired a shot at the three men and was immediately cut down with two rifle slugs and two shotgun blasts, the district attorney said.

Hanagan said a blood test showed Jarrett was drunk at the time and that his canteen contained liquor. Hanagan said Jarrett had purchased a pint of liquor in Roswell about 8 PM Friday before reporting for guard duty. The dead airman's mother, Mrs. Ella Jarrett, said last night that her son had telephoned her two hours before he was shot and that "there was nothing wrong with him at that time." In addition to his mother, Jarrett is survived by his father, John, and an older brother, Gerald. A graduate of Flushing High School in Queens, Jarrett moved to East Hills about a year ago.

Funeral services will be held on Long Island. LI Motorboat at Owners Exempt From State Re Registration Law Albany The State Department of Public Works has emphasized that all of Long Island is exempt from state registration of motorboats. 'The fact was underscored as the department extended to next Sept. 1 the deadline for 1957 state registration of all power craft affected by the current law. Those are motor boats on all waters north of Hastings-on-Hudson (the 41st parallel).

Public Works department spokesman Edward C. Hudowalski said the 41st parallel ran north of Long Island except for a small part of the North Fork and that the law would not apply in Nassau and Suffolk. He said the state registration was extended from last Jan. 1 to next Sept. 1 because of a deluge of applications from boat owners upstate.

This avalanche of applications was caused by a 1956 revision of the law to include "all state waters" north of the 41st, with the exception of the Long Island and the state registration law, passed originally in 1946, formerly had taken in only waters north of the 41st that were "entirely in the state." That law had exempted waters connected to out-of-state waters. The amendment brought in more than 100.000 new applications and created a clerical problem. Hudalowski said Long Island and other areas south of the 41st were exempt because the Coast Guard was in a better position to regulate boats there. The law now requires motor boats, except outboards under 16 feet, to be registered with the Coast Guard in Long Island waters. State registration includes all powered boats.

Meanwhile, the House Merchant Marine Committee has recommended that the 16-foot outboard exemption be eliminated and that the nation's 3,000,000 unregistered outboards be registered with the Coast Guard every three years. Nominal fees would be charged. The committee rejected proposals that it recommend license for boat operators along the same lines as automobile driver licenses. It said such licensing could come in the future, but could be "indefinitely postponed" if the boat industry would act to educate new buyers to the "rules of the road." U.S. to Aid Captives, Dulles Says -Continued from Page 2 this country also needs strong allies.

This is the main argument for military aid. If the "forces and facilities" of allied nations were taken away from the common defense the American defense budget would have to be "expanded vastly," he said. 3. The Administration's policies governing promotion of international trade and economic assistance to foreign countries are vital to strengthen those countries against Communist pressures and to secure their belief in "the blessings of liberty." the help of the Congress, and with the support of the American people," Dulles declared, "our trade and economic development policies can serve mightly to demonstrate that the peace of free men is not the doomed peace of human stagnation but a peace of such vitality that it will endure." 4. 'The United States considers "that controls and reduction of arms are possible, desirable, and, in the last reckoning, indispensable." The atomic arms race "is costly, sterile and dangerous" and "we shall not cease our striving to bring it to a dependable end." 5.

History suggests that "a conflict as basic as that dividing the world of freedom and the world of international communism ultimately crupts in war" but the United States rejects the notion that war is inevitable and believes that it can be prevented. Dulles refrained from any direct detailed discussion of the long crisis in the Middle East revolving around Israeli-Arab hostility and the Suez Canal dispute. In general, he said this country is "striving to bring about conditions in the Middle East better than those provocative and dangerous conditions out of which the recent violence was born." This will take time, he said, because emotions run high in the area and also because "such situations are always worsened by Soviet intrigue." Dulles dealt with the conflict between the Communist bloc and the non-Communist nations at several points of his address. "The Soviet rulers understandably prefer," he said in duscussing the free world system of alliances, "that the free nations should be weak and divided, as when the men 111 the Kremlin stole, one by one, the independence of a dozen nations. "So, at each enlargment of the area of collective defense, the Soviet rulers pour out abuse against so-called 'militaristic And as the free nations move to strengthen their common defense, the Soviet rulers emit threats.

But we can, I think, be confident that such Soviet assaults will not disintegrate the free world. Collective measures are here to stay."

Hicksville's LIRR Platform Extension Project to Start Hicksville--Work starts today on a $12,500 platform extension that will eliminate a traffic problem here. The problem is caused by the Long Island Rail Road train stop that blocks two busy grade crossings, one at Broadway and the other at nearby Jerusalem Avenue. The building of a 470-foot extension to the present platform will allow trains to clear both crossings when they stop at Hicksville. LIRR officials estimate the completion date to be about May 6. Similar platform work has already been finished at Westbury, Bethpage, Copiague, Manhasset, Brentwood and Malverne.

All new platform extensions are hard-surfaced. Preliminary steps for the Hicksville extension already have been completed. These include the moving of a switch, the relocation of tracks in the freight yard and a change in freight and express handling operations. The need for an extension is another sign of the times, the LIRR said. Before Hicksville changed from a quiet village to a bustling community, the average train was able to stop with its last car clear of the crossings and still remain within the length of the platform.

But trains are longer 111 modern times. place of Long Island's most famous poet since 1951 when Newsday led a successful fund campaign to save the landmark from extinction. It was built in 1820. The transfer of the Whitman home from private control to state ownership was endorsed by the association because of the financial burden. The state bill authorizes an $18,000 annual appropriation for maintenance of the historic property.
