The red-haired youth went on trial on a first degree murder charge in the killing of Mrs. Virginia Selby, 62, a Hialeah, grandmother whose body was found March 4 in bushes near Jupiter, 80 miles north of Miami.

Whitney confessed that he shot Mrs. Selby with a long-barreled 22 caliber pistol when she hit him in the face with a hammer after he had commandeered her car in Miami. He admitted he also killed three men in Arizona, two in Florida and one in California. The hope of an insanity plea was gone for Whitney.

Many students in Seoul, who led the bloodsoaked demonstrations that brought down Rhee's graft-ridden, dictatorial regime, boycotted classes and met in assemblies which demanded their school heads resign because of close association with the Rhee regime.

In Pusan and Taegu, the populace politely applauded the student marches or "were indifferent, apparently because they had seen and participated in many demonstrations of late," a report to one Korean paper said. 750,000 W. Berlincrs March BERLIN, May 2 (UPI) Mora than 750,000 persons the biggest crowd the city had even seen massed in West Berlin yesterday to demand that the western Allies keep their troops there. The huge crowd, including many residents of Berlin's Soviet sector, roared cheers for Mayor Willy Brandt's declaration that "we reject a (Soviet-sponsored), 'free city' plan that frees us of our freedom." Across the line in Red Berlin, the Communists flouted four-power agreements with a parade of German soldiers, sailors and airmen staged to support the Soviet "free city" plan. The U.

British and French commandants of West Berlin denounced the Red parade as a "threat to public order." Four-power agreements forbid the stationing or parading of German troops in divided Berlin. The western Allies respect the ban, but it is regularly defied by the Communists.

This group was. followed by the aria from Verdi's "La Traviata," "Di Provenza" which was sung with smooth flowing tone. The final numbers were all by Peter Warlock. He used early English poetry for all of these songs and they have a robust, humorous quality that makes them effective concert fare. "Hey, Troly Loly" was performed with gusto, relating a dialog between a squire and a milkmaid who really could say, "No." The program abounded in difficult accompaniments played with genuine artistry by James Norden.

His accompaniment to the challenging "Erlkonig" was played with a skill not possessed by most young pianists. MICHIGAN Verwoerd LB. BAG MAJ. JOHN EISENHOWER and his wife, Barbara, will be hosts at a gala dinner dance at the White House Monday night for their friends. President and Mrs.
