liuesl IE5 Charged . Wiih Murder

QUEBEC. June 7 -(OP) - J. Albert Guay. whose execution was postponed to Jan. 12 by Superior Court order today. may tell in court the whole story of the time.- bomib plot that sent crashing into a sault Au Ooohon mountain top, killing 23 persons aboard. including his wife.

Guay. the 32-year-old Jeweller who was convicted of murder for time-bombing the airliner Sept. 9 last. was today automatically made available to the court which will hear the case of a. 51-year-old crippled watchmaker charged to- day with murder in the affair.

Hon. Antoine Rivard. Quebec Solicitor-General. arinoiinced that the Chief Justice Albert Sevigny, of Quebec Superior Court granted the stay of execution. Guy was to be hanged June 23.

May Be Crown Witness

Mr.. Rivard declined to say whether the Crown would bring Guay as the chief Crown witness against Genereux Ruest, the watchmaker. who last March told a jury how he manufactured the time-bomb for Guay.

Ruest claimed at the time that he did not know Guay wanted the bomb to blow up a plane.

"The stay of execution was ask- ed in the interest oi Justice." Mr. Rivard said and the crowns re- quest for a stay of execution was also listed in the court record as "in the interest of justice."

Thus Guay becomes automatical- ly available to the court for Rzuestls preliminary hearing fixed for next Wednesday and for aasizes jury which will hear his trial if he is committed to stand trial on the murder charge.

other Arrests wan

Further arrests in the case were considered possible but Mr. Riv- ard. who prepared both Guay's and Ruest's case for the Quebec Attorney - General's Department. said:

"There will be no further arrests for the moment."

Ruest. who was referred to by police in the early stages of the case last fall as "the mystery man" in the boxnb-plot, was arraigned

Field Marshal Wavell Is Given Herois Funeral

LONDON, June 7-(Routers) - Britain today -gave a hero's furi- eral to Field Marshal Earl Wavsil, her great soldier and A statesman. under in sun that seemed as hot as any which baked his Western Desert troops in the Second World ar.

Great crowds lined the banks of the Thames to see the oak coffin. borne in a launch in the first rlvor funeral since taco when Nelson of Trafalgar was buried.

Lord Wavell's body was brought from the age-old Tower of London where it had lain in state among the ghosts of history. Preceded by the Tower's traditional guardians. the Beef-Eaters. in their scarlet and gold uniforms. the coffin was placed on the after hatch of the launch.

At Westminster Pier. under the shadow of Parliament's stately lowers, the crowds were thicker. Guardsmen and a detachment of the Black Watch. the famous Scots regiment of which Wavell was col- onel-in-chief. were waiting with bayonets fixed. sweat running down their faces.

The launch bumped against the pier. The waiting soldiers clicked to attention, presented arms.

The coffin was placed on the

gun-carriage. On top were the sol- dier'a white-plumed helmet and sword.-

The Pllles of the Black Watch walled into a lament,

Behind the gun carriage came great names. Field Marshal V12- count Montgomery. another Wt,-st. ern Desert hero; Vice-Admiral Earl MOIIMPINOPI. the last of Indl.i'a Vlceroys who succeeded Lord W.-I-. vell in that post: Field Marshal Lord Wilson, representing ill- King; Sir Claude Auehinieck. who took over from Wavell in the dc- Mfll Admiral of the Fleet Viscount Cllllillnlhami and a host of others.

In the cool of Westminster Ab- bey. la vast company waited to pay homage to the man whose West- ern Desert victories were the only gleam in a dark world after France had fallen and Britain and her Dominion; stood alone.

Prime Minister Attics, Anthony Eden. Lord Halifax and other statesmen were among distinguish- ed figures from the Common- wealth and representatives of other countries.

The coffin was taken through the Abbey on its last journey to Winchester College. where Lord Wavell was buried among his un- ceators in the college cloisiers.

Anthony Eden Sues Forhvorce

LONDON. June 7 - (AP) -- Anthony Eden. former Conserva- tive foreign secretary, is suing his wife for divorce-risking a politi- cal future which might have led to the Prime Minister's office in the event of a Conservative vic-

ry.

Still a handsome. though grey- ing 53 and one of the world's best- dressed. men, Eden is deputy lead- er of the Conservative Party and long has ranked as heir to the mantle of the 70-year-old Winston Churchill.

The divorce action was disclosed today in the court docket. The case will be heard tomorrow by Justice Sir Francis Hodson. i

Mrs. Eden is not defending the action. and in accordance with British legal practice the grounds were not ciied.

Grounds for divorce in Britain are cruelty. desartlon or adultery. It is considered likely that Eden has charged desertion.

The Edens have lived apart al- most conlinuously since the war ended. Mrs. Eden. is pretty brun- cite. has spent most of her time in the United States and Bermuda.

For a while night-club gossips linked her name with one of her frequent dancing partners, John Lodcr. British actor and former husband of movie actress Hedy Lamarr. g

Eden has consist tly dc lined comment on reports in the past that his marriage had gone on the

rocks. lie could not be reached
