Absorbed text from AP reports Tito offering a peaceable approach to Italy and Greece, promising Western cooperation. He notes potential shift in Yugoslavia’s stance as the newly elected Greek government shows signals toward a middle road and reconciliation with Russia.
A former Texas convict was to be executed for the murder of Sally Barner on a Little Rock street after she refused him money. Robert Louis Smith, 43, faced the electric chair at sunrise with Arkansas and U.S. Supreme Court rulings upholding the verdict and sentence.
In Little Rock on April 27 a state judge ordered the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission to pay county bounties for seven disputed animal scalps, identified by Boone County hunters as wolf scalps. The commission secretary refused a $15 bounty per scalp under Act 183 of 1949. The ruling upheld Judge Hickenbottom’s certification, and the attorney for the commission said an appeal to the Arkansas Supreme Court would follow. The piece also notes a separate, unrelated anecdote about a Little Rock resident shooting a woman.
