Vienna: Henry Offers Hospitality In Austria By JACK ELY Nebraskan Reporter When in Vienna, drop in and see me!-' This is the invitation of Heinz Schriner Henry, a native of Vien na, Austria, who is working for his Ph.D. in chemistry. He would like to show his appreciation to everyone who has -shown him hospi lauty an the United States, includ ing Nebraska. "I have traveled in all but seven states in the United States, and everywhere I've been I've always been treated in such a way that I have felt like a welcome guest rather than a tourist," he said. "For this reason, I would like to help anyone who comes to Aus tria by showing them the 'real spots of the country, not the tourist guide areas; a c 1 p find them a place to stay or, if necessary, help them out of any trouble they may get into," Henry- said. "I would like to impress the fact that Austria is no longer occu pied. Many people still think you have to go through a lot of red tape in order to get into the coun try and therefore don't bother to come," he said. Henry said he would like to talk to anyone who is interested in go ing to Austria because "it's al ways easier to talk to a familiar face in a foreign country. You feel confident and more at ease." He will be in Vienna from July 20 to Sept. 20. "I only hope that nobody thinks this is a money gimmick of some kind, all I want to do is repay my hospitality," Henry said. He lives at Selleck Quad and his phone number is 2-8853 Ext. 1107.

Officials from the Air Force, General Electric Co. and the Boeing Airplane Co. have begun an investigation into the accident. Grandsinger Given Stay Lloyd Grandsinger was granted a stay of execution by Justice Clark of the U. S. Supreme Court. Grandsinger, who was sentenced to die in the electric chair May 18 for the slaying of a State Highway Patrol man said his stay of execution was, "definitely a step in the right direction." A Cherry County District Court convicted Grandsinger in July, 1954, of first degree murder. He contends that misconduct by the prosecutor and judge at his trial was prejudicial and he claims he was denied the right to adequate counsel.. He also protested the use of what he called "illegal" confessions. " " . A group of citizens that have organized a Grandsinger Defense Committee, have hired Eugene O'Sullivan as his defense attorney. O'Sullivan is a prominent Omaha lawyer. The group was also instru mental in getting the stay for Grandsinger.
