For the five-day period ending Monday, up to 1% inches of rain was predicted, most of it Thursday. Temperatures were expected to average near normal —which -would mean no higher readings than 90 in the extreme southern portion. ? South Bend took hot-weather honors in Hoosierland Tuesday with a high of 93. It was 92 at Fort Wayne, 91 at Lafayette but the mercury got no higher than 82 at Evansville.

Alfred Svenson, the first U.S. officer to be court martialed for defecting to he Communists in Europe, today heard his tape - recorded voice sayv-he was a deserter ‘{prepared *to take the • consequences.” Svenson, 31, of Scranton, Pa., listened to a tape recording, made in East Berlin last year, as the Army sought to prove that he went to Communist territory of his own free will. Svenson testified Tuesday that he was forced to stay in the East by the Communists and had made the tapes under threats and the influence of drugs. Today, he heard the tape he made in an interview with United Press International correspondent Edward J. Shields and Associated Press correspondent John Koehler. I said: “Yes, I took an- oath. , .1 did desert. But many people in history have done thajto follow a be'tor course ... Hitler’s generals took an oath. That was no exteuse for them. They were hung at Nuremberg. “I’m prepared to take the consequences of my actions.” Shields testified Tuesday, af-_ ter portions of the tape were played, that he did not think Svenson was under “stress or duress” during the interview,; although three Germans were present. But Svenson said his statement to Shields was not made voluntarily. He said he was ordered to say things like “I hope someday to be able to say ‘I am a Communist.’ ” “The East Germans threatened me repeatedly .. . They gave me drugs,” he said. Svenson, who fled his native Lithuania after the Russians seized power here, has pleaded innocent to charges of desertion and of stealing the jeep he drove into East Germany. The former intelligence officer...was returned to the West by the Communists . in May “for being unworthy of Comip.unist asylum.”
