Death Sentence
KOUNTZK, Tex., July 2ft -<U.R*
Alex (Frog) Leviness was under
sentence of death today for his
I p.art in the Slaying last Sept. 28
'of Mrs. Eloise Twitched, at-
tractive Beaumont housewife.
The jury deliberated only ■
45 minutes last night before
| finding the 27-year-old defend- j
I ant guilty in the brutal slaying of j
Mrs. Twitched on a remote coun-
try road near here.'
Leviness took the verdict with-
out show of emotion, and asked
for a H^ll of the jurors.
Leviness did not testify in his
’ own behalf However, a confess-
ion which he made at the time
of his arrest was used as evi-
dince against him. It implicated
his. accomplice as the "trigger
man" in the slaving.
Mrs. Twitchell's mutilated
body was found beside a logging
trail near here last Oct. 4. a
week after she left her Beau-
mont home io'visit her mother
at Colrnesneil.
Her automobile containing her
j personal effects, had been found
j several days earlier near Hous-
ton.
A widespread search was con-
ciinducted ,for her murderers be-
fore Sheriff Buster Kern of Har-
[ i is County arrested Leviness
and Darius Golemoir, - 31, on
June 2k, nine months after the
| crime was committed.
Confessed Shooting
Both men confessed to the
shooting and beating of the
blonde, 32-year-old mother, who
had given them a ride in her
car.
They said they murdered her
i because they wanted to use her
automobile to stage a bank rob-
bery. however .the plot was
never carried out, as the two
I men split up and did not meet
j again until shortly before their
arrest!
Golemon, now held in the Har-
din county jail here, will, face
trial during the September term
of court.
According to Leviness' state-
ment. the two men used a pistol
which they bought in a Beau-
mont pawnshop to kill Mrs,
Twitched, Leviness said Gole-
mon sljot the young wife of a
merchant seaman twice us she
pleaded with him to put the gun
away, lake her car and leave
her alone. Then, he added, he
finished beating her to death
with the empty gun.

★ WASHINGTON COLUMN ★
Spectators Leave AEC Bout
As Third Round Bell Rings
BY PETER EDSON
NBA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON— (NEA)— End of Iowa GOP Sen. Bourke B. Hickenf
" looper’s great Atomic Energy Commission investigation is not yet
in sight. Conclusion of AEC Chairman David Lilienthal’S side of the
story marks only the end of round two.
Round three will be fought more or less in the dark. That will £e
when chairman Brien McMahon takes the Joint Congressional Atomic
Energy Committee into executive session, It will probe, off the record,
1 some 25 or 30 AEC loyalty investigation cases which the committee
previously refused to let Hickenlooper expose in open hearing. Ho®
long this phase of the investigation will take is anybody’s gu«s.
Interest in this whole business has fallen to an extreme low. Even
1 though the hearing room is air-conditioned and it's a good place tij
| go to get out of the heat, it doesn’t draw 50 people.
Some observers who have been following the hearings closely, how-
ever, are inclined to believe that Senator Hickenlooper won the first
round of his challenge fight, on points. They were not the original
points that Hickenlooper set out to make. But his blows opened -up
these somewhat vulnerable spots:
A new junior high school at Richland, Wash., cost $3,966,000 instejff
of the originally estimated $1,786,000.
Sixty-five new construction projects being built by General Electric
at Hanford, Wash,, cost $7,000,000 more than original estimates.
Contracts were made to buy natural gas as primary fuel for Oak
Ridge, Tenn., when plenty of coal was available.
Some 350 leaky-roofed houses were built at Los Alamos, N. Mex. “
'T’HESE and other mistakes. exposed in the hearings thus far rtta?
A show signs of some mismanagement. Whether they are evidence erf
what Senator Hickenlooper called ‘‘incredible mismanagement and
' maladministration” is something else again.
One effect of these disclosures has been that the Congress is slapping
a new rider on the 1949-50 AEC appropriation bill. It will require
Congressional approval on all future expenditures of over $500,000 and
all increases in such expenditures over authorized amounts. ,
AEC’s justification of over-spending is that it is in a new business .
in which new problems are constantly being encountered and that
much overtime had to be ordered to speed up the job. Also that the *
government, as sole owner of its “company towns,” has had to 2p 1
things which no private landlord could be forced to do by his tenants—
But even Senator Hickenlooper himself now says that these par* •
ticular matters of mismanagement and waste are not what he is drip*"*
ing at as his primary objective. He says that the most important thing.
about the atomic energy project is the safeguarding of secrecy.
UE makes three principal charges of laxity in security regulations:
’*"1 1. That nearly 4000 employes were given access to restricted
areas before they had been fully cleared by the FBI. (The AEC an-
swers by saying thisKvas a risk it had to take to speed up production.
2. That shipments of isotopes to foreign countries constitute a vio-
lation of the law. (The other interpretation of the law is that the ban
applies only to fissionable materials, not isotopes.)
3. The granting of AEC fellowships to young scientific students
without security clearance. (Only three breaches have been indicated
and only two identified—Dr. Isador S. Edelman of Brooklyn and Hans
Friestadt of North Carolina. AEC has announced that all 497 recip-
ients of fellowships are being required to take loyalty oaths. Since
then all but two of the 497 have taken the oaths.)
None of these charges would seem to be beyond correction. Charges
of the loss of fissionable material have been pretty well debunked.
Nevertheless, Senator Hickenlooper still holds that he has proved his
ease. But he admits it hasn’t created much furore.
The record of positive accomplishments of the Atomic Energy Com-
mission, the senator refuses to consider.

Baytown refinery a highlight of your trip. It is one of the great oil refineries in the
’world, processing about 200,000 barrels of crude oil daily into such diverse
products as gasoline and asphalt, motor oils and insecticides.
Tours of the refinery start at 2:00 p.m. every day. First, you find out
what you’re going to see; then you’re taken on a comfortable bus tour of the
plant with a guide to tell you what goes on. The children are welcome.
A visit to Baytown will give you a glimpse of the results of scientific’
research by the oil industry; for unless you see a modern refinery, you’d
never suspect that it can break up crude oil molecules and reconstruct them
into other molecules of wider service to you in your daily life . . .
\ visit to Baytown will show you how the petroleum industry supplies
many of the necessities of modern living, and how energetically
the industry works to supply them. For throughout the United States,
