Their first trial on charges of slaying his wife ended in a hung jury. Earlier Tuesday Miss Tregoff sent word that she had the hives and would not appear. Superior Judge Le Roy Dawson sent Dr. Marcus Crahan to her residence to examine her. Crahan said he found her pulse, temperature and blood pressure normal. He added that she refused to let him examine her chest and said she did not feel like dressing and coming to court.

McManus, Rockefeller's press representa- tive, said today it was untrue that the New York governor had made any decision to submit his name to_the convention. McManus said Rockefeller will appear at the convention only as chairman of the New York dele- gation and his future course will be determined then.

British officials waited eagerly today in the hope an answer to this monumental puzzler will be received when Nikita Khrush- chev replies to a personal letter from Prime Minister Macmillan. Macmillan revealed to 'the House of Commons Tuesday he had written the Russian leader about his concern over the ag- gressive trend in Soviet diplo- macy. "I simply do not understand what your purpose is today," he wrote Khrushchev. Macmillan's letter and his solid defence in the House of the United States over the Amer- ican RB-47 reconnaissance plane shot down over the Barents Sea July 1 won the critical applause of British newspapers from left to right. DISTURBING EVENTS Macmillan cited three disturb- ing developments in his letter ~--the Soviet breakup of the dis- armament conference, the RB-47 incident and Russian charges of "aggression" by the Western power in the troubled Congo. "If the present trend of events in the world continues," Macmil- lan said, "we may all of us one day, either by miscalculation or by mischance, find ourselves canght in a situation from which we cannot escape." British officials advance two possible theories for Khrush- chev's behavior: 1. Khrushchev may believe that U.S. policy is bound to be weak until after the November elections and Russia will follow a policy of maximum tension short of war until the end of the year. Then Khrustchev may re- vert to his earlier professed de- sire for peaceful coexistence. 2 Khrushchev may be influ- enced by some undisclosed events in the Communist world and has thrown over the policy of peaceful coexistence.

MOMENTOUS MESSAGE The independent London Times says that "the danger is that in the next few months something may be said or done" by Khru- shchev or someone else that is irritrievable, "The atmosphere cannot stand many more electric charges without peril." The Daily Mail (Conservative) calls the letter '"'one of the most momentous messages of our time." Macmillan's letter has put "fairly and publicly" on Khru- shchev's shoulders "the responsi- bility for increasing international tensions since the breakdown of | the summit conference," says the Daily Telegraph (Conserva- tive), The pro - Labor Daily Herald describes the letter as "an ap- peal for sanity in a world of 8 c al d ol 0 Pp; bi general's announced the appointment of a second assistant deputy minister. palme named Yves Leduc, 51, of Verdun, minister for the Montreal district.
