BOX 1246 CORAL GABLES, FLA, LONDON .(B--Devonair Harold Lough Rite eae a dashing figure in the. gilded high. society of Lon- don’s Mayfair dwtrict, was sen- tenced Monday, to seven years in prison as a safe-blower. The 46-year-old playboy, who was on first name terms with many socialites, avas .exposed by police witnesses as a big time thief known to admiring underworld associates as “Peter the Plotter.” Sentenced with Lough White was his “intelligence officer,” Gordon Simpson, 35, who drew a six-year term. An insurance broker, Simp- son tipped the mastermind off. to the whereabouts of heavily insured valuables. Two other accomplices—‘cat burglar” George Chatham, 42, and eracksman Robert Melrose, 40— got 10 years apiece because they had long criminal records. All four were charged specifical- ly with blowing a Mayfair jewel- er’s safe last July and making off with $100,000 worth of gold leaf. Chatham, an expert at stealthy second story work, brought the gang to grief. Detectives who ar- rested him on suspicion found frag- ments of metal from the dyna- mited strongbox embedded in his pocket comb. Lough White, the son of a doc- tor, once owned a fashionable night club in Mayfair, He lived on a grand scale, with two, private airplanes, a yacht, three automo- biles, a town house and a country cottage. His only previous brush with the law came five years ago, when he was sentenced to 12 months for the somewhat more respectable crime of illegally exporting planes to Israel.

Sheppard Trial Is Remindful Of Similar Detroit Murder DETROIT ® — The dramiatic murder trial of Dr. Sam Sheppard in Cleveland has stirred memories ot another murder trial in Detroit 27 years ago—and the parallels be- tween the two are little short of amazing. Detroit’s Loomis case begamron Feb. 22, 1927, when the ly of 34-year-old Grance ‘Loomis was found brutally beaten in her home in Detroit. Her husband Dr. Frank R. Loomis immediately was charged with murder. Like Sam Sheppard, Loomis was handsome and successful. And like the 31-year-old Marilyn Sheppard, Grance Loomis was attractive and popular. Both women were killed by savage blows to the head. Nei- ther murder weapon has been found. Sheppard has been described at his trial as an even-tempered hus- family. Loomis also was called a mild man who was devoted to, his wife and two children. Sheppard has admitted an ex- tramarital romance with pretty Susan Hayes, 24, a former tech- nician at his osteopathic hospital. Loomis had romantic ties with the attractive divorced daughter of a former mayor of a town near De- troit. : Police have been unable fo find a T-shirt worn by Sheppard just before his wife was killed. Police found Loomis wearing a white shirt, spotlessly clean, although the rest of his clothing was spat- tered with blood. Later, shirt but-| tons were found in the furnace} ashes. : | Chip Sheppard, 7, slept quietly | in a bedroom while his mother was killed nearby. Loomis’ 8-year- old daughter and 6-year-old son were sleeping upstairs when their | mother was slain. Sheppard said his wife was killed by a bushy-haired man who ransacked, the house. He said | his ‘bag. Loomis said $100 he had} given his wife was missing and suggested she had been robbed. Detectives from Cleveland have said that someone tried to make it appear that a burglar had ran- sacked drawers in the Sheppard home, In the Loomis home, the window was broken in the sun parlor and police said the glass fell outside, indicating it had been | strange conservative-Socialist coal- ja verdict. Successor For Yoshida To Be Named Thurs. TOKYO — Brain trusters of a ition that drove Prime Minister | Shigeru Yoshida from office hud- dled today to bargain over his successors The coalition agreed to call a vote for a new prime minister tomorrow in the lower house. The Diet approved extension of its spe- cial session through tomorrow for the balloting. Ichiro Hatoyama, who favors in- creased trade with Red China within a framework of friendship with the West, appears to have the | inside track. But he may have to pay a stiff price to get Socialist backing. The Socialists are reported de- manding that Matoyama rule only for a month or two and then call new elections which the Socialists think will bring them big gains. The threat of a comeback by| Yoshida’s Liberal party probably | will help keep the Socialists in line | behind Hatoyama. Yoshida turned over the reins | of the Liberal party todav to his deputy Taketora Ogata. The Lib- erals probably will nominate Ogata for prime minister. They have 186 votes. The Democrats have 120 and the Socialists 133, for a coali- | tion total of 253. - | Leading Japanese newspapers | said, today the 76-year-old Yoshida, who led defeated Japan back into} the family of nations, was “stabbed in the back’’ by leaders | ot his own party. over, while Sheppard still awaits | Judge John V. Brennan told the! Loomis jury: “If there is a reason- able doubt in your minds, you can- not convict this man.” Thirty-five minutes later the jury returned with a verdict of acquittal. One year later Loomis was dead. He committed suicide by inhaling broken from within, There the similarity ends, for the Loomis trial, of course, is illuminating gas.

When you give it the extra nudge that moves it beyond the full throttle posi- tion, something happens that never happened before in an automobile.
