Court Upheld Uniform Law On Out‑of‑State Witnesses In Trials
The Supreme Court upheld a uniform law allowing 42 states to compel witnesses to testify in criminal cases. Justice Frankfurter wrote the 7 2 decision. Justice Douglas dissented with Black concurring. The ruling involved a New York County DA seeking a Florida court order to compel a union official to testify before a New York grand jury amid a labor investigation. ONeill, president of a union, faced Florida rulings that the law violated the U S Constitution. In a separate ruling, the court held 7 2 that consecutive sentences may be imposed under federal narcotics law for illegal heroin purchase and knowing it was imported.

Who Is Miss X The Missing Girl Mystery Deepens
Coconino County Sheriff Cecil Richardson launched an intensive effort to identify the teenage girl whose skeleton and clothing were found last fall in the Coconino National Forest near the Grand Canyon. He began distributing 10 000 letters to law enforcement agencies across the West to locate a missing person matching Miss X. Based on best information, authorities believe she died in late summer or fall of 1957, with her body likely in place since before spring 1954. Her clothing, a teen style set of pedal pushers in brown plaid, plus the World Famous Graff label, was found near a side road three feet from the discovery site. The case remains unsolved as investigators seek any matching records.

Soviet union renews push for Berlin talks as crisis deepens
The Soviet Union reiterated a call for a summit on Berlin and Germany while signaling readiness for a foreign ministers conference if the West is not prepared for a heads of state meeting next month in Vienna or Geneva. Moscow proposed joint participation by the USSR, United States, Britain, France, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and both German states, with a six to three month deadline to finish work. The note warned Western use of force over West Berlin risks war and warned the Soviets could hand over occupation duties to East Germany on May 2 if no agreement is reached. The West fears East German control would isolate West Berlin. The Moscow radio summary stated a four-power restoration remains possible, though reiterating measures to defend occupation rights if needed.
