Linn Grove Native May Gain Freedom Albert* Musser May Gain Prison Release INDIANAPOLIS UP — The “granddaddy" of all the convicts at the Indiana' state prison may be out in time for Christmas. He’s almost 80—the oldest prisoner at the institution and the one who has served the longest time. He’s No. 1365, more than halfcentury removed from today’s No. 27300. The man, Albert Musser, a native of Linn Grove, Ind., .will be paroled before the holidays if he overcomes two obstacles. It appears he will. His freedom, if it comes, will result from the intervention of friends who want to give him a home. He has no relatives. Musser is a murderer. He was sentenced to \ life in Blackford county three days before Christmas, 1898. He went to prison in 1899, when he was 24. Except for 13 years on parole, his life has been behind prison walls. Records of his crime have been misplaced. Friends said he was convicted on circumstantial evidence. Musser said he was not even in the city where the slaying occurred. Musser was denied parole in August of this year because he had “no place to go.” Reading that in a newspaper, the sister of his former wife, who now is dead, offered to share her home. The sister, Mrs. Lillian M. Douthit of Shelbyville, Ind., said she and her husband “will be so glad to help him. We want to take him into our home.” .. 4 .; That offer, coupled with a favorable report from prison authorities, convinced the state board of correction > which recommended clemency last wqek. If Gov. George Craig approves, Musser’s sentence will be coommpted to time served, making him eligible for

Anthony Eden Says Far East Most Explosive Foreign Secretary Os Britain Opens Commons 4 Debate LONDON, (UP)—Britain’s foreign secretary Anthony Eden told the house oj commons today that the Far East is “the most dangerous of all spheres” with which the west has deal. Opening a foreign policy debate, Eden said "It is there (The Far East> that the accumulated tension between east and west. Communist and non-Communist, first struck a live spark. And it is still, in my judgment, the most dangerous of all spheres with which we have to deal.” Eden said the west could claim a "notable achievement” in confining the Korean War to Korea and added that it now is necessary to maintain the Korean armistice, settle the war prisoners issue and bring about a political conference which would bring peace to Korea. “Once we achieve a Korean settlement,” the foreign secretary said, “then we can move on to the relaxation of tension in the Far East.” , Eden said Britain believes the war prisoners should have a free choice whether they return home, and warned that they should not be kept in detention indefinitely. , He also restated Britain’s belief that prisoners should not be forced to attend interviews with Communist propagandists who are attempting to convince 1 them to return to their Red homelands. Eden said Britain and her allies are working very hard to bring about a Korean political conference. Turning to other Far Eastern issues, he said: “It is our policy to work for peaceful relations with China. “Just as we did not hesitate to take our part to resist Chinese aggression in Korea, so we should be the first to welcome a reversal of Chinese policy. And it surely must be to China’s innterest to keep open fines of contact with the world.” Edeu said there have-been some signs of relaxation of tensions between east and west, but. no Signs that the Soviet Union has modified its “fundamental hostility" toward, the west:' Amputee Is Joyful Over Birth Os Son 1 Quadruple Amputee Reported Speechless , WASHINGTON UP —Robert L.
