FRENCH GENERAL QUITS,

Partoit made that choice in con
nection with the condemnation of
several convicted traitors, including
ex-Gen. Edmond Jouhand, No. 2
man in the European Secret Army
Organization. Jouhand and Partoit
attended St. Cyr Military Academy
together.
The French Defense Ministry
refused to confirm or deny the
Le Monde story.

FIND PIECE OF AURORA 7
IN SOUTH AFRICA
BARKLY EAST, South Africa
UFi — A piece of metal thought to
have fallen from the rocket which
boosted U.S. astronaut Malcolm
Scott Carpenter into space last
week has been discovered near this
cape province town, the South
African Press Assn, reported Mon
day.
The metal, which bears several
serial numbers and resembles the
top of a gasoline dnjm, is being
exhibited at a local garage. The
metal appears to have been sub
jected to intense heat which burn
ed holes through it.
Last February a three-pound
chunk of metal was discovered near
the town of Naauwpoort, 100 miles
from here, soon after astronaut
Glenn Jr.’s flight. Sent to Cape
Canaveral, it was identified as
having fallen from Glenn’s booster
rocket.
ISRAELI COURT REJECTS
EICHMANNS APPEAL
JERUSALEM MP) — The Israeli
Supreme Court rejected Adolf
Eichmann’s appeal yesterday and
left the former Gestapo officer only
the slender chance of executive
clemency to escape the gallows for
his part in the Nazi massacre of
millions of European Jews.
The 56-year-old former chief of
the Gestapo’s Jewish affairs sec
tion stared fixedly at the five
Supreme Court judges as associate
justice Simon Agranat began read
ing the judgment affirming “with
out hesitation or reserve” the death
sentence imposed on Eichmann last
December.
Eichmann’s defense counsel, Dr.
Robert Servatius, was expected to
submit an appeal for clemency to
Israeli President Izhak BenZvi
Justice Ministry officials said a
decision is not likely before mid
June.
A certificate rejecting clemency
would constitute an execution
order. Eichmann probably would
be hanged soon after, behind the
grim sandstone walls of Ramleh
prison, near Tel Aviv.
A 260-POUNDER . . .
LAMBERTVILLE, N.J. iJFs —
Methusaleh, a 260-pound python,
is now at his new home in a private
zoo here.
The snake, claimed by his own
ers to be the largest in captivity,
is 31 feet long and is estimated
to be about 100 years old.
Methusaleh’s owners, Mr. and
Mrs. Howard Wise Barry of nearby
Buckingham, Pa., had quartered
the python in a room of their home.
To move him, the Barrys en
ticed the snake in to a large canvas
sack and then four husky men
loaded the sack into a blanket
lined tub. Methusaleh was captured
nine years ago in Thailand. He
eats only once a month. That meal
consists of 30 to 35 defeathered
chickens. .■ ’AMNKnH
