A Navy spokesman in Washington said he was given a general discharge for unsuitability Feb. 10, 1970. “A discharge of this type.” the spokesman said, involves “character and behavior disorders.”Chief Hayes said the family had “reacted like any family would in a similar situation.

His request came during the trial of a Boston yoyth op charges of possession of marijuana.Wyzanski has been feuding with the U.S. attorney’s office, saying the prosecutors should go after organized crime rather than building cases against marijuana offenders.In a statement as the court convened Thursday morning, Wyzanski said, “Responding ... to self-examination and the sensible attitude of my wife and children, I am wholly persuaded that I grieviously erred when I called upon the assistant U.S. attorneys for affidavits declaring that each had not used marijuana.“I showed less sensitivity to the problems of prosecutors than to the problems of defendants. I overlooked the implications of liberty inherent in'the Fifth Amendment.“I have concluded to disqualify myself from not merely that case hi'which*! called for affidavits but also all cases in this district involving drugs or marijuana which have been assigned to me.”President Nixon’s May 8 policy to bomb North Vietnam’s indus-v icuuuii uapduimy tu uany i vuiveu in uic uctibiuii-iuaiviiigon the land war in South Viet- process to resume the bomb-nam. 1 mg.”Tests Prove Sniper's Gun Used In Police Killings(Continu'd Prom Page !)stepped in front of police headquarters 10 days ago and wounded Patrolman Edwin C.

This is possible, but highly improbable.”— After Essex died, several policemen saw another person on the roof. “There were very, very many shots taken at this person while this person, or this ghost allegedly moved. . . .I can’t believe that the policemen . . . were all hallucinating.”— Policemen heard foul language and shouting and talking on the rooftop after Essex was killed.Giarrusso cited these reasons for believing Essex acted alone.— “There has been but one person found.”— “Our men insist the area was adequately sealed off.”However, under close questioning, Giarrusso conceded that “there was a time span prior to our receipt of the plans of the building that an un-obvious exit from the roof would have enabled other persons, if there were any, to leave the roof and go to another floor.”He said he didn’t know the length of the “time span,” but that it was at the very beginning of the siege. Under more questioning, Giarrusso identified the “unobvious exit” as the elevator shaft.Newsmen inside the hotel said police didn’t begin guarding the bottom of the elevator shafts until after sunrise Monday — or nearly 24 hours after the shooting started.Robert Bemish, 43, a broadcasting engineer hit by sniper fire, said Essex “was not the same man who shot me.”Police said Essex was wearing military fatigue pants with baggy pockets to carry shells.Bemish, a guest at the hotel, declared: “The man who shot me had on a light tan jacket and brown slacks.”Newsmen recalled a black policeman asking fellow officers during the siege whether they had seen a heavy-set black man walking with him through the hotel who had “just disappeared.”The man was described as wearing a short, light-colored coat. Shortly afterward, police j checked the credentials of all newsmen in the area — raising the possibility a second sniper mixed with police and others inside the hotel and walked out undetected.Tim Carew, 19, of Omaha. Neb., also guest at the hotel, reported encountering just one sniper during the siege, however. Carew said the sniper told a black maid employed at the hotel: “Sister, the revolution is here.”Meanwhile, Policeman Paul Persigo, one of three officers killed in the sniper fire, was buried Tuesdav after funeral services at St. Edward the Confessor Church. Mayor Moon Landrieu declared New Orleans to be in a “state of civic mourning ... to be extended through Sunday.”tuJiIaF i thth sa j M in fri cr ca br sti neJury Panel Will Report Por Duty Here January .TOThe recently drawn jury panel drawn for jury duty at theJanuary term of Sumner County District court will report onTuesday, Jan. 30 at 9 a.m., itwas announced at Law Day for the month of January held Tuesday in district court here.District Judges Doyle E. j White, Winfield, and Charles H. | Stewart, Kingman, who will pre-I side here now with the retire-I ment of Judge John A.
