CARLA THOMAS, 25, daughter of a Memphis disk jockey, was recently voted the favorite singer of U.S. servicemen in Viet Nam, an honor won last year by the Supremes.

Her voice is slightly husky, although at times she hones it to a piercing cry that cuts straight through the rocking under rhythms...

After the war, Rehse settled in West Germany with his wife and daughter, and in 1956 managed to win a judgeship in the Schleswig-Holstein state court-only to lose it eleven months later when his past caught up with him. By 1962, as pressure began building for action against the untouched Nazi jurists, Schleswig-Holstein authorities opened an investigation of Rehse. Finally, last February, they arrested him. Rehse, who pleaded not guilty on grounds that he did not make the laws, plans to appeal his sentence. For Rehse, that is a rare privilege-his own People's Court...
