II. S. Army Frees
British Mother
Serving Life
WASHINGTON (*—'The |\ S.
Army has ordered the release and
deportation of a British mother
serving a l.'.'e sentence for the
murder of three of her children
while stationed abroad with her
American soldier husband.
The woman is Mrs. Eunice Brill-
hart of Rochdale, England. Her
husband. Sergeant Robert Bi ill-
hart. is now serving with the
Army at Sandia Base in New Mex-
ico.
The Army announced today that
the remaining portion of her life
sentence, which she is serving at
the Federal Reformatory for> Wo-
men at Aldersonn, West Virginia,
will be remitted so that she can
he released <m July 22 and turned
over to the immigration service
for deportation to Britain.
The Army reviewed the rase
following a Supreme Court de-
cision on June I" which 'forbade
military courts from trying civil-
ians for capital crimes committed
abroad.
Some Pentagon lawyers voiced
doubt whether the Supreme Court
| ruling directly affected the Brill-
i hart case. But the Army, after in-
'luiries made by the British em-
bassy, reopened the court-martial
conviction and sentence.
The official announcement of
| Mrs. Brillhart's release today made
no reference to the court ruling,
saying only that the decision to
| remit the remainder iti her life
sentence "was reached after con-
sideration of all matters in exten-
uation and mitigation."
The Army said also that she will
be deported because she was per-
mitted to enter this country "only
for the purpose of serving her
sentence."
An Army court-martial found
Mrs. Brillhart guilty of the mur-
der of her three children "by drop-
ping them on their heads" over a
13-month period between Novem-
ber 1! 52 through December I
At that time the Brillharts were
living in Asmara. Eritrea, now a
part of Ethiopia.

Aga Khan Dies
At Age Of 79
GENEVA ' Jv~ The spiritual
le.ader of the Ismaili sect of the
Moslems, the Aga Khan, died to-
day in Geneva, Switzerland, He
was 71).
The Aga Khan had suffered a
sudden weakening of the heart din-
ing the night. At his bedside vhen
de.ath came were his wife, the Be-
gum, and his two sons, Aly Khan
and Sadruddin. Forty-six year-old
Aly is the heir apparent.
Sadruddin had planned to niairy
London model Nina Dyer on Mon-
day.
The Aga Khan had been in ill
health since suffering a heart at-
tack in 1952. The once portly lead-
er had gone down to 132 pounds.
This was half the weight when ho
wvis weighed by his subjects against
gold, platinum or diamonds on va-
rious anniversaries. The m >ney
value of the matter weighed went
to the A|fa Khan's charities.
The Agti Khan liked horse racing
high living and beautiful women
He once summed up his views this
way:
"Have fun. It's later than you
think."
But he was a devoted Moslem
and he was interested in affairs
of state. He once served as presi-
dent of the league of nations. His
4th wife and his two sons. Prince
Aly Khan and Prince Sadruddin
were at tb Aga's bedside when he
died. '
Aly Kahan has generally been
reuarded a the heir-apparent. But
the Aga reportedly had been dis-
turbed in reeent years by Aly's
playboy life, and some doubt had
been expressed as to whether Aly
or his younger brother would 'n-
herit the Aga's title.

For Government
WASHINGTON <.?>— The U. S.
Supreme Court has ruled American
(ii William Girard should be turn-
ed over to Japan for trial in the
death of a Japanese woman.
The ruling was on an appeal
by the government from a lower
court ruling. The lower court ruled
that Girard must not be surrend-
ered to Japanese Civil Authorities
to face manslaughter charges.
In its opinion, read by Chief Jus-
tice Warren, the court said there
is every reason to believe Glrard's
trial by the Japanese will be con-
ducted with the utmost fairness.
The decision was a major victory
for the administration, which has
argued failure to turn over Girard
to the Japanese would endanger
U. S. Security.
The administration argument
was that cancellation of agreements
under which Americans overseas
can be tiied by foreign courts
would mean U. S. forces would
have to return home.
The decision was, at the same
time, a setback for Congressional
forces who contend the U. S. Con-
stitution accompanies G I's over-
seas and servicemen must be grant-
ed its full protection.
Said the Supreme Court:
"United States troops are sta-
tioned in many countries as part of
our own National Defense and help
strengthen the free world struggle
against Communist Imperialism.
"The matter of jurisdiction in
cases of offenses against the laws
of host countries, whether by our
servicemen abioad or by service
men of other countries in the Unit-
ed States, is dealt with by mutual
agreements.
Girard, of Ottawa, Illinois, is
accused of the Japanese equivalent
of manslaughter in the death of
Mi. Naka Sakai January 30th on
a firing range used by both U. S.
and Japanese troops.
Tile high court said the issue
boiled down to the question of
whether the Constitution or legis-
lation subsequent to our treaty
with Japan prevented the govern-
ment from handing over Girard.
It added:
"We find no constitutional or
statutory harrier to the provision
as applied here."
The court said that in the ab-
sence of encroachment upon con-
stitutional limitations, the matter
was entirely one for the executive
and legislative branches.
