District Judge Ernest Belcher.
Temporary court room will be in
the American Legion Hall on the
Fort Worth highway.
Court will convene at 9 o’dbck.
The State called as a rebuttal
witness Dr. Lemoyne Snyder, for-
mer medical investigator for the
Michigan State Police, in an at-
tempt to refute the defense claim
thst socially prominent Margaret
(Gee Gee) Jackson died in a fall.
Snyder testified after the de-
fense had rested and the State had
recalled Bednasek, 24, University
of lowa psychology senior, to dem-
onstrate how he put his hands
around his sweetheart’s neck before
she died at their forbidden rendez-
vous last Dec. 11.
The defense claims Miss Jackson
staggered after Bednasek play-
fully demonstrated s judo hold on
her neck, and that she fractured a
bone and cartilage in. her throat
when she fell against a chair. The
defense also claims she made the
external puncture wound by clutch-
ing at her throat while gasping
for air.
“In the first place,” Snyder said,
“the structures of the neck the
larynx and the hyoid bone, are not
often injured by violence of that
kind."
Defense Attorney Clair Hamil-
ton wanted to know if muscular
contraction could not fracture the
hyoid bone, but Snyder said he
never heard of such a ease. He said
he did not repd a newspaper story
mentioned by Hamilton in which a
man factored his neck cartilage by
sneezing.

Ambassador In
Guatemala Asks
U. S. Protection
WASHINGTON, March 31 (UP)
—A reliable source said today that
Richard C. Patterson Jr., U. 5. am-
bassador in Guatemala, hast re-
ceived threats against his life and
wants a Marine guard to protect
his embassy-.
Patterson arrived here last night
aboard a commercial airliner. Of-
ficially, he returned for a physical
checkup and for consultations.
But informed sources reported
that the envoy actually was order-
ed home by the State Department
because his life and that of his
family was in danger. They attrib-
uted the alleged threats to “Com-
munist elements, some within
Guatemala’s government.”
These sources said Patterson will
ask for a 24-hour Marine watch
over the ■ embassy in Guatemala
City. Earlier this week, they said,
the embassy was placed under a
heavy guard, but this apparently
has been removed.
GENERAL STIFF
HEADED BV MAN
LIKE MARSHALL
NEWPORT, R. I„ March~81—
(UP)—Bernard M. Baruch said
today that the United States was
staggering “from crisis to crisis
with the initiative left to the en-
emy” and to win the cold war
must have “a general staff for
peace,” headed by a man “of the
stature of General George C. Mar-
shall.”
What‘is needed is a non-par-
tisan group which will stay on the
job until the cold war is won,”
Baruch said, “a group which would
sit in continuous deliberation on
the whole of the peacewaging, ser-,
ving as s central point of decision,
weighing all- the many commit-
ments upon us, guiding the beat*
disposition of our strained re-
sources, determining where in the
world we are to fight a mere hold-
ing action and where we can
achieve a decisive break-through—
and at what effort.”
The 79-year-old former presi-
dential advisor spoke before the
staff and students of the Naval
War College here.
Baruch said the United States
was today spreading itself “too
thin, unable to achieve decision
anywhere.”
The “serious defeat” suffered by
the United States in China, he
said, “has stirred a good deal of
public discussion of whether we
are losing the cold war% Certainly
there is sufficient reason to feel
that what has been done so far is
inadequate.”
Baruch said there were four ma-
jor essentials to the cold war
strategy he recommended:
Four Major Essentials
“1. A military establishment
which includes not only an immedi-
ately available striking force of
sufficient power to insure prompt
retaliation and deter aggression,
but one flexible enough to deal with
possible civil war abroad.
“2. A ready-to-go mobilization
plan which will insure the swiftest
mobilization of all resources—men,
money and materials—in case we
oy our allies are attacked.
• “3. An effective intelligence
gency to provide the information
ceded to pace ourselves in rela-
tion to the Soviets and the threat
of war.
"4. A general staff for peace to
re-evaluate the whole of the peace-
waging and to formulate a global
strategy which will achieve a de-
cision for peace.”
Baruch said the “cold war is
now dragging into its sixth year,
and despite the enormous resources
we have expended we still have not
faced up to what the total peace-
waging requires.”
The fault is, he said, that the
United States “staggers" from
crises to crises with the initiative
left to the “the enemy.”
