During pre-trial arguments
Wednesday, Judge James C.
Hill said he “tended to agree”
with government requests to
limit questions about any
involvement of the Central
Intelligence Agency in the case.
“The CIA has been bandied
about in the newspapers by Mr.
Werßell’s father,” said Assist
ant U. S. Attorney Jerry
Froelich. “It’s obvious this
tactic is going to be taken in
the courtroom. I’m going to
question the factual basis of
this material. I think there
should be some facts to support
these claims.”
Attorney Ed Marger, repre
senting Werßell, said the case
represents “a definite govern
ment attempt to silence some
one who has done things with
the knowledge and approval of
the CIA.”

Hair Care
Hair that is washed daily
needs special attention to *
keep it from drying out and
splitting even though you
wash to get rid of oil and dirt.
Use a rinse after each wash- «
ing and give yourself a condi
tioning treatment once a
month using a thick cream
conditioner. This is impor- t
tant particularly in winter
when the air is dry and filled
with electricity.
