 Defense Asks Recess
 Defense counsel asked for a re- cess to give Fall a "chance 10 sc- cure Vindication." Government coun- sel asked for mistrial as soon as the doctors reported
 Justice IIitz said from the bench that so far the case had been trial, not by jury, but "a trial by ordeal.' Later. he explained. the ordeal not only included the dcfen- dant, but also the jurors who had been locked mp since being sworn in.

MAYOR ASKS DISPLAY
 OF FLAG TOMORROW
Urges Public to Honor Memory of Americas
 DiscOverer

Display of the American flag to- morrow in honor of Christopher Columbus is urged in q Columbus Day proclamation issued from the office of Mayor Paoncssa today. It reads as follows:
 Tomorrow, October 12. marks the anniversary of the date on which Christopher Columbus discovered the New World-Amcrica
 An this anniversary the entire world recalls the story of the intre- pid man who sailed out onto the expansive ocean. eager to find the new land in the west, braving every danger and facing the possibility of death in his light craft, for the full tillmcnt of an objective on which he had set his mind and heart.
 "The story of Christopher Colum- bus is known to almost every man. woman and child in the civilized world. It should be an inspiration. In our public and private affairs, We are continually brought face to face with trying conditions. Very often We are inclined, as was the crew of the Columbus expedition. to turn back and give mp. but with the spirit that carried Columbus to the realization of his hopes and his dreams. let us carry on to the big ger and better things of life.
 T am hopeful that the obsorv- ance of Columbus Day will be city wide tomorrow. It is my desire to see Old Glory flown from every house in the city, and decking every street, avenue and business house in the center Thus will those who are prone to be forgetful be reminded of our great debt to Christopher Columbus.
