In Battle of Grenades

By United Press

TOKYO, Sunday, Feb. 10—A United Nations patrol wearing armored vests killed 25 Communists in a hand-grenade battle on the central front Saturday and not one of the Allied soldiers was injured in the area protected by the armor.’ It had been known that some Allied troops were wearing the new vests, but the fact was mentioned for the first time today in an officia 8th Army briefing. \ ; The United Nations patrol tangled with an undetermined number of Red troops southeast of Pyonggang. There was a brief exchange of

small arms fire. Then the two opposing forces closed to within’ hand-|United Nations.

~ & 4 Ballistics Tests Don’t sl Back Convict's Story of 1 ‘Lover's Lane’ Killing

; By EMERSON TORREY ; : ¢ Did the twisted thinking of an 18-year-old “hophead™ serving a 10-year sentence for armed robbery cause him to confess to the mysterious lover's lane slaying of an Indian apolis lumberjack? Or was the admission made by the Pendleton reformatory convict In an effort to gain a “breather” from solitary confinement where he had been the last - few days because of a fight «. with a cellmate? | State police and sheriff's deputies pondered these questions last night after “jungle bandit” James Earl Perry told them he shot Michael Mattes to death last June. But a ballistics test blew his confession full of holes.

Apparently Chased Thief

Mr, Mattes, 29, was killed in a cornfield northwest of Indianapolis last June 23 when he apparently chased a thief who. stole the purse of his blond, 17-year-old companion, Miss Nada Alexander, as they sat in his parked car. ¥ 2 J : Miss Alexander, 2011 W, New : hE York St., hitch-hiked a ride home JAMES EARL PERRY , after vainly waiting almost a Confession a hoax? pa
