Parents Of Navy Gave N0 Sailor Say nation Freeport (HI.) Journal-Standard, Thursday. July a. 1975 Page 3 WAUKEfiAN, 111. (UPI) Joseph and Jean Stawnychy expected their son, Steve, home from the Navy last naval officers visited the Stawnychy home at White Bear Lake, Minn. They said Stawnychy's son was dead.

Steve Stawnycyhy, 18, was run over by a train. A Lake County coroner's jury rulfed the death a suicide. Friends of, the ybuth have charged he was depressed by the severe beatings he suffered at the hands of the and was driven to suicide by Stawnychy said Steve telephoned the family June 3 to say he was coming home the next day-even though his face "looked like a balloon" from a beating he suffered in the brig at Great Lakes Naval "Training Center. But Steve never arrived home. Stawnychy and his wife testified at a hearing conducted by Rep.

Robert McClory, R-m. Stawnychy said that aside from the visit from the two officers and a telegram about the death, the family had no further word on the circumstances of their son's death. McClory is looking into the Navy's handling of the case. A military judge's order barred McClory and all witnesses from discussing the alleged beating of Stawnychy. The ruling was issued to protect the rights of three Marines who have been charged with assault and battery against the young recruit.

Attorneys for the three Marines watched the hearing in silence Wednesday. Pat Pruitt of Waukegan, who was in the brig at the same time as Stawnychy, was the only other witness. Pruitt said Naval authorities never have questioned him on the Stawnychy beating. McClory said his purpose in holding the brief hearing was to show that the Navy may not be conducting a very thorough investigation of the Stawnychy case. He said he will ask the House Armed Services Committee to hold more thorough hearings on the Navy's handling of this case and others like it.

Stawnychy joined the NaVy May 3 and was assigned to Great Lakes. Naval spokesman Dale Klinkerman said Wednesday Stawnychy went AWOL May 12, was put in the brig for 10 hours, and was then hospitalized for eight days. Klinkerman said the youth was given an administrative discharge from the Navy, and was released from the hospital June 3.

GOP Officials Favpr Louisiana Superdome For '76 Convention NEW ORLEANS (UPI) Republican Party officials favor the Louisiana Superdome for their 1976 national convention, but demands of the television networks may be a major obstacle, according to Louisiana GOP leaders. Members of the party convention site selection committee toured the $163.5 million Superdome earlier this week and said they were awed by its huge size.

They said New Orleans and five other cities were being considered as possible convention sites. However, the networks' request for six weeks of free access to the stadium before the convention to install broadcasting equipment was not publicized until Wednesday. "The outcome, whether New Orleans gets the convention or not, appears to depend on solving the networks' problems," said Michael Starr day under the wheels of a train. The Stawnychys said Wednesday they can't believe their son committed suicide. "Steve was quite a religious boy," U.S.
