AF. Officer Arrested In Korea Killing Premeditated Murder Charged In Death Of South Korean By FORREST EDWARDS TAEGU, Korea, Saturday wm — An Air Force officer was arrested today and accused of ordering two enlisted men to shoot a Korean st an Allied air base in South Korea last September. Col, Jerome L. Loewenberg, Witth Air Force judge advocate, said Lt. George C. Schreiber, 25, was arrested at an air base near Pusan and charged with premedi- tated murder and conspiracy to commit premeditated murder. Records in Loewenberg’s office showed that Schreiber had entered the service at Chicago but his home address was not immediately available. He was the third man arrested in the case. The other two, arrested in the United States and returned to Ko- Tea for future trial, are Robert W. Toth, 21, a discharged airman who was back in Korea five days after his arrest at a Pittsburgh steel Plant May 13, and Airman First Class Thomas L. Kinder, 21, ar- rested at a Wisconsin air base March. 10 and returned to Korea May 26, Toth and Kinder are charged with premeditated murder and con- spiracy to commit premeditated murder. Toth, in a is charged with assault with intent * to do great bodily harm. Loewenberg said Schreiber al- legedly ordered the shooting of Bang Soon Kil last Sept. 27 after Bang was apprehended by Kinder in a restricted area on an ait base neat Pusan, pistol whipped by Toth and taken to Schreiber. After the alleged order from Schreiber, Loewenberg said, Toth allegedly selected an empty revet- ment on the base for the shooting and Kinder allegedly did the actual shooting. Loewenberg said Schreiber was arrested at the air base before noon today, charged, and then re- stricted to the base. Schreiber was not!placed in.con- finement, the judge advocate suid. He also said that neither Toth nor Kinder are actually confined at present. Kinder has been given duties at and restricted to, an Air Force installation in Taegu. Toth is restricted to, an air base just outside Taegu. Since Toth is a civilian he has not been given Air Force duties, Loewenhberg said. A Fi Air Force spokesman said the Air Force will appoint de- fense counsel for Schreiber, De- fense counsel hag already been named for Toth and Kinder, Toth's attorney, Anthony R, McGrath, is en route here from Pittsburgh. Silent Screen Idol, Farnum, Dies Of Cancer HOLLYWOOD #—Death from cancer and uremia has taken William Farnum, 76, squarejawed stage and silent-screen idol re—- membered for one of the most famous fight scenes ever filmed. The silverhaired actor, who re- mained clear-eyed and witty des- pite a year of illness, succumbed Yesterday in a hospital. ‘At his bedside were his widow, Isabelle, and her sister, Mrs. Eu- gene Bayley of nearby Seal Beach. Farnum had undergone three operations for cancer of the blad- der, but his doctor said uremia was the immédiate cause of death. ‘The husky actor, born in Boston on July 4, 1876—the centennial of the Declaration of Independece, he was to point out—made his stage debut at 16 with a Shakes- Dearean group. He was a ranking matinee idol when he came to Hollywood in 1914 and appeared in a film version of a Rex Beach novel, “The Spoilers.” His first movie, despite many later successes, was destined to be his best-remembered. It featured his fearsome, knock-down brawl with actor Tom Santchi—still the stand- ard by which movie fights are In an Alaska store setting, it wound indoors and out before Far- num, the virtuous hero, finally; grounded his daversary. Farnum was bedded for several months “The Sign of the Cross." Among his sound pictures were “Du Bar: | ry" with Norma Talmadge and! “The Connecticut Yankee" with | Will Rogers. He had featured roles more re-/ cently in “Samson and Delilab,” “Lone Star” with Clark Gabi and “Jack and the Beanstalk” with | Abbot and Costello, The bones of the Indian chief, | Sitting Bull, have been moved from North Dakota to South Da- i .
