Grammer Seeks Aid In Murder Case To Save Him
George Edward Grammer on death row for the August 1952 murder of his wife Dorothy May Grammer appealed for a cab driver who ferried him to the Pennsylvania Railroad station. He claimed the driver could prove he had to leave the area, undermining the state's contention of premeditation. No driver has appeared at hearings, and Gov McKeldin may grant clemency next week. In a separate report, Maryland’s fifth annual Land Week was outlined for August in Harford Baltimore Howard Montgomery and Carroll counties with water and soil conservation as themes.

Weather adds hazard for rescue parties on Mt McKinley
In Fairbanks Alaska May 28 weather worsened the climb for two rescue teams seeking injured climber George Argus two miles up Mt McKinley at 20200 feet. Argus fractured hip and other injuries after a fall that killed a companion days earlier. Crevasses and rough terrain limited progress to about 1000 feet in 24 hours. Another four-man party reached a higher altitude after being landed at a more favorable spot. Argus food stores are running low and rescue momentum faces wind and blowing snow.
