Millionaire Kills Wife in Paso Robles Ranch Shooting
DeWayne Hillman, 48, a central California rancher from a wealthy family, is jailed in San Luis Obispo on a murder charge after shooting his wife Elizabeth, 45, during a quarrel that ended a stormy decade-long marriage. District Attorney Herbert Grindlell says Hillman confessed. The couple hosted lavish parties at their 4,700-acre Paso Robles ranch, a known hunting spot for San Francisco and Los Angeles friends. The hillside home also housed their two sons from a previous marriage, Dewayne and Billy, ages 17 and 19, who heard shots and alerted authorities.

Warns Against War link to McCarthy era figures
Russian general warned that the United States could trigger an atomic third world war. He claimed he had given false testimony at the trial of 13 convicted second string Communists and said words were put into his mouth by Ray Sonn, former AUSA and later McCarthy aide. Cohn declined to comment on the maneuver. Matusow said the matters were false or not entirely true and he testified to remedy harm. Federal Judge Dimack set a hearing for a new trial in the 13 defendants case. Federal Judge Thomason granted a new trial for labor leader Clinton Jencks convicted of perjury in a separate case.
