Death Ray claims rockets role in war mystery
A German physicist Dr Hans Ehrhardt faced eviction from Sarnen Switzerland after officials said his anti aircraft device was not approved for use. Ehrhardt claimed the beam could melt snow eight miles away and down planes. His secretary Miss Antje Kammeyer said trials occurred in May and the beam was unlimited in range. The Swiss government said Ehrhardt’s residence permit would not be renewed due to false identification and alleged foreign funding. Ehrhardt also suggested wartime involvement with V 2 rocket work.

Thornberry judgeship bid collapses affects civil rights plan
Washington The Kennedy administration faced a setback as the Thornberry nomination to a federal district judgeship was moved by Rep John Young and approved by the Senate panel. The move complicates the civil rights push and raises the possibility of Northern and Western Democrats opposing Young for the House Rules Committee vacancy. The White House had hoped to delay signing the commission, but faces pressure to act within a week. The situation could force Thornberry to resign his House seat if confirmed.
