He added that the commission could hardly be established until the present fighting was stopped, and indicated that he would make . a new proposal to that end in his next conversation with foreign commissar Maxin Litvinov. ' “The Japanese proposals which I made previously to Commissar LIi tvinov are the only reasonable solution of the far eastern situation.” he commented. Shigemitsu indicated that Ja.pan still calls for mutual withdrawal ot troops from the present “front lines” on the border. He intimated that in his next talk with Litvin-' ‘ ov he would urge that such a with- ; drawal would involve only a small | amount of teritory and that, iven it i it were in dispute, this territory i could be bandoned by both sides . without making such difference.

CARROLL GIVES OWN TESTIMONY !Murder Defendant Denies Any Part In Double Murder South Paris, Me., Aug. 10 —(UP) —Francis M. Carroll, under crossexamination at his murder trial today, testified that he "thought.” Paul (Buddy) Dwyer must have had au accomplice in the slaying ot a country doctor. Young Dwyer, serving a life sen- ! tence tor the crime, accused Carroll | of being a “real slayer” ot Dr. James G. Littlefield. Pressed by prosecutor Ralph M. ingalls, Carroll sa'id: “I thought that he (Dwyer) didnot do it alone.” Carroll, a former deputy sheriff, scoutmaster and church worker, appeared calm and confident while he testified as his own first witness, most of the time under direct examination. He asnweered questions in rapidfire fashion. He stood in the witness box, resting his hands on the rail. He was neatly dressed in a brown suit and his hair was slicked back. In the spectators’ section sat his wife and 17-year-old daughter, j whose romance with Dwyer alleged-' iy indirectly motivated the murder. Both were sworn as defense witnesses after defense counsel Clyde R.Chapman completed his 25-minute opening. In neither direct nor cross examination was Carroll asked spe(ifically to account for his actions between 7:30 and 9 P. M. lost Oct. 13, when Dr. Littlefield was slain in Dwyer’s home, or after midnight on the morning ot Oct. 15, when | Mrs. Littlefield was slain. Highlights of Carroll's testimony j included: 1. Denial that before his arrest! he knew of letters written by Bar-, bara accusing him of violating her.; 2. Admission that a cigarette lighter found at the murder scene, was his. He said that he last saw the lighter some time before the slaying. 3. Denial that he threatened to shoot newsmen who sought to ques- j tion Barbara at Reading, Mass., \ Oct. 16, the day that Dwyer was I arrested in New Jersey. 4 Denial that he had planned a 1 rendezvous with Dwyer in Boston on Oct. 16. 5. Contention that Dwyer twice said “A dope ring made me pull this* stunt off on Dr. and Mrs. Littlefield.” 6. Admission that he "might have gone to Dwyers cell after Dwyer told his attorney the “real story” of the murder. Dwyer has testified that on this visit Carroll threatened to “put a bullet through me” unless he changed the story. o STUDENT TALKS — (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) the school, introduced the speaker and delivered a short address.
