Polk Reports to AVC on Trial of Brother's Killers

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

William R. Polk '51 will report on the trial of the convicted murderers of his brother, George, at a meeting of the American Veterans Committee at 7:30 p.m. tonight in the Shephard Room of Phillips Brooks House.

Sponsored by the Newsman's Commission to Investigate the Murder of George Polk, Polk left the United States April 5 for Salonika, Greece, the scene of the CBS correspondent's murder and the subsequent trial.

Polk Was Dissatisfied

Upon his return to this country June 12, Polk made it known that he was dissatisfied with the trial he had watched. The confessions of the defendants. Evangelos Vasvanos, Gregory Staktopoulas, and Anna Staktopoulas, were not legitimately obtained, Polk said. Nor, in Polk's opinion, did the accused received an honest defense.
