for the lte4 thrill slaying of little ; Bobby Franks. Leopold, who has been in State- < ville Prison for 33 years, appealed i Tuesday to the Illinois Parole and i Pardon Board for commutation of his 85-year term. Gov. William G. Stratton is expected to rule on the | appeal "in about 30 days.” Among those supporting Leopold’s plea were poet Carl Sandburg, mystery author Erie Stanley Gardner, novelist Meyer Levin, several of Leopold’s former ; University of Chicago classmates. 1 1 No one appeared to oppose Leo-

pold's freedom bid. Leopold did not attend the clemency hearing, but in a written appeal he asked to be allowed to die outside of prison walls. “I earnestly beg you to show me the mercy I did not show," his petition read. “FeR into a Fit” “I beg you to permit me to spend my few remaining years in the free world and give me a chance to try to be useful and to justify my experience. I leave my fate in your hands and in the hands of God." A former classmate, Abel M. Brown, now a Chicago real estate man, told the board: "As a lonely kid, he (Leopold) fell into a pit as black as life can make it. He’s crying out now at the very end of his life for help, if you don’t help him, you’ll cut out his heart He'll rot and die in prison." Leopold and his partner in crime, Richard Loeb, murdered the 14-year-old Franks boy in a thrill killing that shocked the nation. .Leopold wa.s sentenced .to 99 years, but former Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson reduced the sentence to 85 years in recognition of Leopold’s service in malaria experiments. Loeb died in a prison fight in 1936. Poet Asks Mercy The parole board previously turned down three parole bids by Leopold and set 1965 as the next time he could apply for parole. However. Leopold said he feared “1 won’t live that long.” He has had two heart attacks and suffers from diabetes and a kidney infection. Sandburg and Gardner appealed on Leopold’s behalf in tetters to Stratton. Sandburg asked the governor for "an act of mercy and justice” which would be "the gong of a great moment to be never forgotten in the record and annals of Illinois and the U.S A." Gardner’s tetter said Leopold’s

,iExtradition Doubtful For Indicted Couple U.S. Is Unlikely To Request Extradition PARIS (UP)—A French government official said today that France would not extradite a former American Army officer and his wife accused of spying for Russia unless the United States can prove they were criminals- r The couple is Russian - biffn George Zlatovski, 47, a former U.S. Army intelligence officer, and his wife, Jane Foster, 45, who have lived in Paris since 1949. They were indicted earlier this week by a New York federal grand jury on charges of espionage for the Soviet Union. But it seemed more and more doubtful they ever would be sent back to New York to face trial. The U.S. government thus far has not made any formal request for extradition of the pair. Reliable sources here said the French government has politely but firmly turned down several unofficial requests for extradition, insisting a formal request is necessary. But there was some doubt whether Washington ever would make a formal request. This was because the United States virtually would have to try its case against the Zlatovskis in a French court, and it is highly reluctant to divulge its evidence abroad. I The biggest ■ the cans face in the chess game that has developed in the legal fight to send the Zlatovskis to trial is that espionage often is viewed as a political and not a criminal affair. France will not extradite anyone on political charges- This has been a longstanding French tradition, in effect since the revolution. It is frankly, but unhappily, recognized by the United States as a fact of life here. Beverage Board Meets Tuesday Paul Gibbens, of Anderson, appointed as the new district state representative of the state alcoholic beverage board, attended a meeting of the local board, held in the commissioner's room of the county court house Tuesday. Gibbens replaces Ora Raines. The three local board members of the organization include Boyd Rayer, John Blakey and Curtis HilL Happ's Place in Berne was granted a renewal of its beer and' wine license, and the Herman Colchin liquor store was granted a license renewal for package liquor and carry outs.
