■Greek Sentenced To Life In Polk Murder CBS Correspondent Murdered Last May Salonika, Greece, April 21— • (UP)—Gregory Staktopoulos, for- ’ mer Greek newspaper man, was sentenced to life imprisonment to- ' day for participation in the mur--1 der of George Polk, Columbia i Broadcasting System correspondent, last May. A 10-man jury found Staktopoulos guilty of complicity in the murder j of Polk, whose trussed and bulleti pierced body was found in Salonika bay. He had set out to interview Gen. Markos Vafiades, then leader of the Greek guerrillas. Staktopoulos’ mother, Anna, 68, was acquitted of complicity in the slaying. Two Communist underground leaders were sentenced in absentia J to death. The two, Adam Mouzenides and Evangelos Vasvanas, 1 never were captured. They were accused of the actual killing, and 1 were tried jointly with Staktopou- ) los and his mother. Staktopoulos, 39, was accused of being the “finger man” who led ) Polk to his death on a pretext of leading him toward Vafiades. I Mrs. Staktopoulos was charged I with complicity because she mail- ’ ed Polk's army identification card . to Greek police on her son’s instructions after the murder, authI orities said. DEAN ACHESON (Cont. From Page One) reported that defense secretary Ixjuis Johnson shares this view. Despite contrary indications from committee chairman Tom Connally, D., Tex., senate Republicans appeared to be taking it for granted ! that all the details would be made g I public very shortly.

Lewis subsequently gave Moody | a letter, of intention to recognize him as the bargaining agent for the southerners and Moody dropped the charges pending before the labor relations loard. President Truman's till to repeal the Taft-Hartley law would scrap the requirement that unions must bargain with employers, and Moody fears that if the repealer i becomes law, he would have no legal weapon to make Lewis bar gain with him this year.
