Heath On Trial In Old Bailey
London, Sept. 24.
Tall and handsome 29-year-old air pilot, with fair wavy hair, Neville George Clevely Heath stood stifly in the dock before the clite of the Bri- tish legal world here today and in a firm voice pleaded "not guilty" in one of the most sensa-, tional and gruesome murder cases of recent years.
His alleged crimes were two murders, so terrible that in the words of the prosecution, the jury might think, if the facts in one case were proved, that the person who committed the crime was "sexually perverted to be almost a monstrosity."
Heath, smartly dressed in grey, stood quietly in the dock of the famous No. 1 Dock of the Old Bailey, where amid the dark pancis,

The Soviet delegate, M. Andrei Gromyko, said in the Security Council of the United Nations here last night that United States troops in China had supported one of the two groups struggling for power, thus interfering in the internal affairs of China.
United States troops, he said, had remained in China although at the Moscow Foreign Minis- ters conference in December, 1945, Mr. James Byrnes, United States Secretary of State, had said that they would be withdrawn as soon as the disarmament of the Japanese was com- pleted.
