Sergeant Is Freed By Court-Martial Man Acquitted In Peeping Tom Death TAIPEI (UP)—A U.S. military court-martial today acquitted M.Sgt. Robert G. Reynolds, 42, of the peeping Tom slaying of a Chinese Nationalist officer. The decision, reached after one hour and 35 minutes of deliberations, was greeted by an enthusiastic outbreak of applause by Americans in the courtroom but appeared to have caused Chinese resentment. Reynolds, of Colora, Md., shot and killed Liu Chi-Jan outside his home the night of March .20 after he found him peeking through a bathroom window at his wife, Clara, 36, as she dried herself after taking a shower. Reynolds pleaded innocent to voluntary manslaughter charges and said he shot at Liu when he raced outdoors and Liu came at him with what he thought was a weapon. It was the first trial of an American serviceman for the shooting of a Chinese. It came during negotiations between American and Chinese officials for a status of forces agreement which would give Nationalist courts the right to try ‘‘off duty” cases of American military personnel. A general court-martial board of five colonels and three master sergeants ruled that the baldish, brown-haired Reynolds, a U.S. Army medical corpsman, was innocent of the charges.

Union Leaders Are Expected To Oust Beck Teamsters Leaders Reported Greasing Skids Under Beck WASHINGTON (UP)—Teamsters Union leaders today greased the skids under Teamster President Dave Beck. Teamster Secretary - Treasurer John F. English and several Teamster vice presidents prepared to call for a union Executive Board meeting that could topple Beck as boss of the nation’s biggest union. Sources said a majority of the board would ask Beck at the meeting to resign. The sources predicted Beck would be forced out if he refused. At the same time, a grass roots movement aimed at ousting Beck continued to spread throughout the nation. Big Locals Represented Teamster Joint Council 55 representing 10,000 workers In the Washington area called Wednesday night for Beck’s ouster “forthwith.” The demand was made in a telegram to the Executive Board. Teamster Local 807, largest in the New York metropolitan area, called for Beck’s ouster Wednesda. It represents 8,800 workers. Similar demands have come from Teamster locals in Chicago, San Francisco and other cities. The AFL-CIO Executive Council, which gave Beck another shove toward the door this week by firing him as a council member, planned today to reach a final decision on whether to oust three small international unions from the AFLCIO on corruption charges. The council laid down a strict code of financial principles Wednesday designed to protect union funds against raids like those charged up to Beck. Want Clean House The three unions facing possible suspension from the AFL-CIO are the Laundry Workers, the Distillery Workers and the Allied Industrial Workers. Their membership totals 170,000. The question before the council is whether any or all have cleaned house sufficiently to stay in the AFL-CIO. The three were involved in welfare fund abuses uncovered by a Senate committee in 1954-55. The Teamsters union also has been charged with corrupt leadership, but the AFL-CIO Wednesday postponed indefinitely further hearings on the charges. The action was viewed as a move to give the union more time to clean house under the guidance of English.
