Break With Pope Truman Is Urged Mercy Slayer Is Under Bail For $25,000 Pleads Innocent To Murder Count; No Precedent MANCHESTER, N. IL, Jan. 5 (IP) A haggard country doctor was at liberty tonight under $25, 000 bail an unprecedented court procedure after pleading inno cent to a charge of first degree murder in an alleged "mercy" slaying of a dying cancer patient. New Hampshire legal author ities were unable to name any previous defendant in a capital case granted similar release. Only three minutes were re quired to arraign the accused physician, Dr. Hermann N. San der, 40. This included reading of an indictment charging he "fel oniously, wilfully and with malice aforethought did inject 10 cubic centimeters of air four times in close succession into the veins of Mrs. Abbie Borroto, 59, well knowing the said air injections to be sufficient to cause death." To this, Dr. Sander fairly shouted: "Not guilty." They were he only words he spoke loudly enough to be heard in the packed courtroom. Dr. Sander, little known be yond the circle of his general practice before the death of Mrs. Borroto Dec. 4, had become an international figure when called before the bar of justice. New Hampshire provides the hangman's noose or life imprison ment" for first degree murder, although the extreme penalty has not been exacted in many years. In far off Rome, L'Osservatore, the Vatican's newspaper, presum ably stating the Pope's opinion, cited the fifth commandment, "Thou shalt not kill" in con demning mercy slating, and added: "The fact is, that the doctor (by committing a mercy slaying) changes his mission to an in human one of giving death." But the prosecutor, Attorney General William L. Phinney, in approving the physician's liberty under bail, explained this "rather unusual" procedure was followed "because of Dr. Sander's high moral character and standing in the community." rsmWBij .- "HI l"" W.ii.ij"''Ju.iii. v .

Specifically, at midnight Green wich mean time. That's 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, or 2 a.m. Sunday Moscow time. De Courcy is the man who predicted last January that Rus sia would attempt an atomic ex plosion in 1949. He said in a statement to news men today the second explosion will be set off in blasting for an Asiatic irrigation project unless there's a technical hitch, in which case "the Russian general staff plans are to have the postponed experiment on Jan. 10." De Courcy is editor of the mommy intelligence uigest, a private information service.

Traveling Bowlers Back For Classes As D-D ay Arrives By Chuck Hauser D-Day arrived this morning for those Tar Heels who went Cotton Bowling with their team deep in the heart of Texas. ' .

Stressing the fact that "the ne cessity for walking on the grass is now over, except in the area around the 1 i b r a r y," Hobbs blamed both students and faculty members for "unconsiderate walking on the grass." He warned against the mental attitude in feeling that the "walk on the walks" injunction is for the other fellow, asserting that such an outlook will make the campus a "sorry spectacle" by the end of the quarter. Hobbs suggested the "walk on the walks" rule become a new year's resolution for all campus pedestrians. Help 'Over the Hump' vnore-than six years. Freezing weather brought new damage to California citrus and vegetable crops. Contiued cold was forecast. The sleet brought an icy end to springlike temperatures in the Southeastern and Atlantic sea board states. - " Ice-locked Memphis, Tenn., was in semi-paralysis. All schools were closed. Thousands of resi dents were without electric pow er. Street railway service was less than 50 per cent of normal. Some 2.500 telephones were out of service. Hundreds of ice-loaded trees crashed. Air traffic was halted. Freezing rain swept in on Mem phis Wednesday evening and fell throughout the night. Missouri counted two flood vic tims and Illinois had one. Several rivers still were rising in Illinois and Indiana as the aftermath of drenching rains. The Wabash, still rising, spilled over the levee at Attica, Ind., flooding lowlands and highways.

Archer, executive di rector of "Protestants and other Americans United for Separation of Church and State." The President's personal envoy to the Vatican, Myron Taylor, is due to return to the United States soon. This has given rise to un confirmed reports that Taylor is resigning. In this connection, Archerv told Mr. Truman in a telegram: "Myroy Taylor's expected res ignation will give you opportun ity to end Vatican miision which is an offense to non-Catholic Americans.

Veterans Are Allowed To Rebuy Leave Time Veterans will be allowed ta re-purchase leave time, accord ing to Colonel F. C. Shepard, Veteran's Advisor. This move by the Veteran's Administration may enable stud ents under the GI Bill who are drawing near the end of their periods of entitlement under the bill to acquire enough eligibility to get over the "half-way hump" of the quarter, and complete the quarter with full government aid. Veterans who have been in school for at least one year, and attended during the fall term, may re-purchase the involuntary leave of fifteen days which was granted them at the end of last school year.

J DEAN ACHESON WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 Senator Gillette (D-Iowa) said today that a House-pased bill repealing federal oleomargarine taxes attempts "a gold, bold, in excusable violation of states' rights." He led off arguments for dairy state senators supporting a sub stitute proposal. The substitute would wipe out federal taxes on the table spread but would ban yellow colored oleomargarine from interstate commerce. Gillette aimed his states-rights argument at Southern Senators who have used the same plea in fighting civil rights legislation. They are among the leading ad vocates of the repeal bill, partly because of the use of cottonseed oil on oleomargarine. Senators Fulbright (D-Ark) replied that backers of the House bill are trying to modify al ready existing legislation which "discriminates" against the pro duct, not to initiate federal legis lation regulating its sale. Prospects for speeding action on the repealer were brightened by agreement of Senate Demo crats not to offer or support amendments to pending legisla tion that are not "germane" that is, directly related to the subject of a pending bill. The atomic Scientists Associa tion of Britain also issued a dec laration today on Russia's atomic position. It said the Russians will have enough bombs in a year or two to fight an atomic war. There will be no immediate check on a new explosion unless the Russians choose to announce WASHINGTON., Jan. 5 () it, which is unlikely.

Many of the visitors to Dallas returned early yesterday or Wed nesday night, and a few even came in during the day Tuesday. But air lines were both crowded and expensive, thus the early arrivals were few. The round of parties in Dallas over the Cotton Bowl weekend seemed like a never-ending merry -go-round. Members of the official Uni versity party and North Caro lina press representatives went to their first official function last Thursday night, when Col. D. Harold Byrd threw a ranch party on his estate just outside of Dal las in honor of the Tar Heel team. The guests were fed strange dishes such as -antelope, moose, wild mountain sheep, venison, in addition to prime Texas beef, and,of all things, Virginia ham. A recreation building with bowling alleys and" a pool table was wide open for the- party, and a floor show complete with danc ing girls was thrown in a huge tent on the ground. Basketball Friday and Satur day nights, and big New Year's Eve parties started the weekend right," and it ended with a Sun day night buffet supper and party at the Brok Hollow Country Club outside of town. Dallas was turned over to the two opposing teams on Monday evening after the football game. At night clubs, everything was on the house for the gridders, and they took advantage of the situation. Pappy's Showland, noted for "the best undressed women in the world," seemed to get most of the business.

More people are walking around naked than ever before. Not in public, of course the law frowns on that but in flourishing "naturist" camps scattered throughout the country. Leaders of the open-air cult say happily they've never seen anything like it. Britain's few hundred timid pre-war nudists have grown into a lusty movement 50,000 strong. In 1938 there were 20 nudist clubs. Now there are 60. Many non-club "naturists" enjoy life in-the raw in the privacy of their own homes, and gardens. The British Sun Bathing Asso ciation (BSBA) biggest nudist group has just voted to incor porate nudity. It's forming a limited company of 200 share holders. ' Right now the clammy British winter has drivenxall except the hardies "naturists" into long underwear. But the BSBA hopes next summer -will be the best ever for the one out of every 1,000 Britons it says likes to frolic naked in the sun. The burning question: Will the sun cooperate? It did in 1949.. It was the sun niest summer for 16 years. Mrs. Sylvia Bassam, 34, pretty Canadian-born secretary of the BSBA, says the Association is campaigning for three things: 1.
