Acheson Will Receive Italian Foreign Envoy
In Milwaukee Milton Babich, 19, remains jailed on a first degree murder charge after two bond denials. Prosecutors accuse him of killing Patricia Birmingham, 16, and hiding her body in the Milwaukee River to prevent her revealing sister Kathleen's pregnancy. Judge Sullivan cited a confession as basis to deny bail. The case includes the April 12 preliminary hearing and concerns fears he may harm himself if released. In Washington, Italy’s foreign minister Count Carlo Sforza meets Secretary Acheson to discuss joining Western democracies in opposing Soviet expansion and urges support for the North Atlantic Pact plus possible trusteeship talks over former African colonies at the UN session beginning April 5.
