Summation Ends Judge Begins Charge
The government completes its summation as Federal Judge Harold R. Medina begins his jury charge about two and a half hours, in a historic trial of 11 Communist defendants accused of conspiring to reorganize the party in 1945 and to overthrow the U S government. The jury, eight women and four men, may get the case today as U S Attorney John F. McGohey warns of a possible underground party if convicted and urges a guilty verdict to deter such crimes. The defense argues conviction would outlaw the party, while prosecutors stress the party’s iron discipline and Politburo control. Each defendant faces up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine if convicted.

Rockies Search Fails to Locate College Climbers
Two Colorado College students Bruce Gerling and David Devitt have been missing since Sunday after a hike in Rocky Mountain National Park. An intensive search of 12,300 foot Flat-Top Mountain by Army troops, national park rangers, and climbers failed to find them amid five foot snowdrifts. Gerling, 20, from Phoenix, and Devitt, 21, from Arvada, were first hikes with the A and M Mountain Club. Gerling’s father joined the search, and Devitt’s parents kept a vigil at Bear Lake as teams retraced trails twice. Conditions moderated but dangers from crevices remain, with possibility that someone fell unseen.
