He and his wife, Margaret, 38, had been married 20 years and had four children, the oldest 19, the youngest 2. In recent months Kocher had become increasingly bitter toward her because of her sullenness. He said he decided she would .make up with him or die. He gave her her last chance January 10. She rejected his advances on a screened porch of their farm home, and he shot her with a rifle he had hidden under a couch. He at first told authorities she had killed herself, saying he found her body when he returned from a trip to Harrison, Ohio. Authorities became suspicious when an autopsy, performed at a Cincinnati hospital, showed that the bullet which entered her brain could not have been because of its path. Bruises also were found on her love-maki- ng & Marshall. Under the plan introduced in the senate by Senator Malone (Rep., Nev.) and five colleagues and in the house by Representative Jenkins (Rep., O.), other members of the new board would include the secretaries of war and navy and two persons named by President Truman. Conservatives seized upon the critical international situation to to sidetrack Lilienthal, former TVA chairman who has been accused of countenancing the presence of Communists in the power agency. In proposing establishment of the new board to govern all phases of domestic atomic production, Republicans, joined by southern Democrats, declared that the crisis indicated the need for close political and military control over nuclear energy for national security.

Hoover declared that the Reds in this country constitute a small but closely knit group seeking to overthrow our democracy and substitute an iron-cla-d dictatorship denying the principles of religious worship, political freedom and economic opportunity. He pointed out that only 25,000 Reds worked the Russian revolution in 1917 and there is a larger proportion of Communists at present in the U. S. Hoover called for relentless prosecution of the Reds found violating the laws of this country. Putting Expectant Mother Loses Her Guessing Game With Stork CLEVELAND. Twice in the last three months Angelo Gullo and his wife, Geraldine, have tried to rush the stork.

Mrs. Abney admitted on the witness stand that she had shot Sgt. Jean Richard Abney, 28, of Junction City, Kans., five times after he spurned her attempt to patch up their marriage at Fort George G.

While Abney was stationed on New Caledonia, it was testified, the army began deducting an allotment from his pay for the support of an illegitimate child on the South Pacific island. As congressional conservatives continued their fight against appointment of David E. Lilienthal as chairman of the national atomic energy commission, bills were introduced for the creation of a new board to be headed by Secretary of State pt self-inflict- ed 150-ac- Gems of Thought Andrei A. Gromyko, Russian delegate to the United Nations security council, celebrated the first anniversary of the U. N. with a veto the 10th the Reds have employed since the international organization came into being to block action against themselves or Soviet-sponsor- ed puppets. With the Polish delegate siding with him, per custom, Gromyko wielded the veto on a resolution that would have charged Albania, a Soviet satellite, with part guilt for the sinking of a British vessel by a mine in Corfu channel last fall. Effect of the charge would have increased Albanias liability for damages being sought by the British for the mishap. As it was, the U. S., France, China, Australia, Brazil, Colombia and Belgium, which voted for the resolution, watered down the original British charge that Albania was guilty of either laying the mine or conniving in planting it. Instead, they accused Albania of possessing knowledge of the presence of the mine and failure to clear the channel. REFUGEES: U. S. Aid Having already generously provid- ed relief and financial assistance to areas abroad, congress moved to help the 1,037,000 displaced persons and refugees in Europe by joining the United Nations International Refugee organization. Under the proposal first approved by the senate and then sent to the house, the U. S. would furnish 75 million dollars the first year, representing 45 per cent of the total operational costs. Before agreeing to passage of the measure, the senate insisted on insertion of an amendment which would protect U. S. control of its immigration policies. Senator Rever-com- b (Rep., W. Va.) asserted that the Roosevelt and Truman administrations have permitted the entrance of 750,000 aliens on temporary visas, and Senator Hawkes (Rep., N. J.) charged 2,000,000 aliens have entered the country illegally within the last few years. war-strick- en SHIPPING: U. S. Future The U. S. should develop a clear-cmaritime policy now to assure ut continued mastery of the American merchant marine, Pres. Harry of the AFL Seafarers International union, declared at its third biennial convention in Chicago. Declaring that the U. S. merchant marine has dwindled to 30 million tons from its wartime peak of 50 million, Lundeberg attributed the decline to transfers of American ships to Panamanian registry, sales to foreign governments and removal of vessels from service. If necessary, the union is prepared to boycott ships transferred' to Panamanian registry, for. operation under lower wage and working standards, he said. Lundeberg also assailed continued British and Russian use of American ships obtained under Built with U.

S. and Russia came to grips again in Moscow on the future pattern of the German government. Boiled down, the differences amounted to U. S. proposals for a system of strong state governments working through an adequate central authority and Russian recommendations for a strong central government with the states subordinate. The U. S. proposals advanced by Secretary of State Marshall are designed to give the German people a closer check on their government through the state level and diminish the possibility of a strong central authority like the Nazi regime assuming full, controlling power. In this respect, the U. S. plans embod-die- d American principles of states rights and state representation in congress through the senate.
