DAGE ONE news in The Times
4 Saturday included a story and
a picture of an automobile, which
the owner charged had been
struck and damaged by a hit-run
police tow-in truck No. 9. The
owners story was supported by a
passenger in his auto and by sew
eral witnesses.
Early today, The Times received
reports that police hit-run tow
in car No. 9 was cruising through
the downtown section Sunday
night, displaying no tail light.
The tail light, if any, it was
charged, was obScured by the
dangling crane chain.
This morning at 11:05, police
hit-run tow-in truck No. 8, COM
manded by policeman Roy Losch,
arrived in front of The Times
building.
OPPOSITE The Times, behind
" fire station No. Is, is a one
way alley. Deep in the alley were
parked two machines. They APP
peared to constitute a distinct fire
hazard.
Heading into the alley, between
the pavement and the curbing,
stood another machine. 1t clearly
was parked illegally in public
property.
In front of The Times is a space
marked off for the automobile of
Miss Virginia Edwards, Times
staff photographer. Another ma
chine had been parked there and
Miss Edwards had been forced to
double-park her car.
The crew of police hit-run tow
in truck No. 9 failed to "see" the
cars parked in the alley, or the
machine standing in plain view
between the pavement and the
curbing. They had eyes only for
the automobile of Miss Edwards.
Times men hurriedly called po-
lice headquarters and asked re-
porters there to learn if the tow
in truck would return for the
other law violatorS in The Times
block.
Policeman Losch spoke:
Hell, I'm not gonna talk to any
of you newspaper men, after all
those lies about the hit-run bust
ness"

The jury is expected TO re-
ceive the picnic murder case
either late Tuesday or early
Wednesday, following argu-
ments by the defense at
torneys-W. H. Parr ST., who
opened for the defense this
afternoon; his son and
Charles Tindall-and Roy Ad-
ney, special prosecutor.
Urges "Sword of Truth" Use
cit is up to the jury to take its
bearings now" Scifres said. 1.-THE
state realized it was prosecuting the
guilty and can bring all its EVIL
dence before the jury candidly.
"'It is the duty of the jury to dig
I'D the swift sword of truth and cut
away the debris. Just decide this
case impartially and without fear.
1.-THE camouflage of the defense
has been painted in some OF the
most beautiful colors, the object OF
which is the hiding of truth"
He attacked the defense inaima-
ton that Horace N. Jackson, Han
cock county farmer, might be guilty
of placing strychnine capsules in
the sandwiches, which caused the
death of the girl and her sister, Vir-
ginia, at the fatal picnic.
Hits Jackson Accusation
"The accusations against jackson
we're some of those beautiful col
ors," he added.
When ScifreS said there was no
affection between Mrs. Simmons
and her husband, John w. Sim
mons, the latter Redeemed and Mrs.
Simmons shifted nervously in her
chair.
There is a dead wall between
them" Scifres declared. There is
no affection. John Simmons is not
fighting for his wife, but for the
Simmons family name"
when Tindall told you the de-
Tense would show some one else
might have committed this crime,
he didn't say who, when or how"
ScifreS said. "At the opening he
reminded me of Clarence Darrow

at the close of his statement of
Mark Antony, telling you if you

HOOVER GAINS
GROUND IN HIS
NAVY BATTLE
Chairman Britten of House
Committee Hints Budget
Fight Will End.
ADAMS ENTERS FRAY
Secretary Hits at Charge
That Sea Force Cost Is
Burden on u. S.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Chair-
man Britten of the house naval
committee said today, after con-
ferring with navy department
heads, that he thought the navy
now believed the budget cuts in
sisted on by President Hoover could
be effected without inpairing the
efficiency of the naval forces"
Britten talked with Secretary of
Navy Adams and Admiral William
V. Pratt, chief of naval operations,
just before he made this statement.
He also said 1t was very doubt
full" now whether he would insist
on a congressional investigation of
the administrators naval economy
efforts, which he previously fav-
ored.
This development was taken to
indicate that Mr.. Hoover is winning
his fight to pull down expenses of
the navy in face of opposition
within the service, which became so
strong that the President charged
an attempt was being made to set
up a backfire against him, causing
him to threaten to carry the fight
to the country.
League Committee to Meet
The Navy Leagues executive
committee will meet here Thursday
it was announced, to decide it's
course. One of the committee,
Henry Breckenridge, former assist
ant secretary of war, already has
publicly disassociated himself from
that portion of the leagues state
ment which reflects personally on
Mr.. Hoover.
Adams today issued a statement
declaring that the American navy
costs per capita about half what
the British navy costs and that the
United States spends on it's navy,
in proportion to national income,
far less than any other power.
Though he seldom issues press
statements, this one was put out
Cor Monday newspapers under his
own signature. His action was con-
strued in some quarters as a chal-
lenge to the administration, in view
of persistent rumors in Washington
that he was in conflict with PreSi-
dent Hoover over the administration
economy campaign against the navy
and might resign.
Pressure on Gardiner
His action gained significance be-
cause it came just as President
Hoover was about to announce ap-
pointment of special committee to
investigate assertions by William
Howard Gardiner, president of the
Navy League, that the President
displays "absymal ignorance" of
naval policy and is debating its
external subordination to those of
foreign naval powers"
Mr.. Hoover publicly demanded an
apology from Gardiner for his Gun
truths"
Adams apparently framed his own
statement as an appeal to the
country, for it closed with this
cryptic sentence: For the Amer
lean standard of living, we have
comparatively Inexpensive naval
establishment, and it gives me
pleasure to bring this fact to the at
tention of the American people, SO
they may not be misled by con-
fusing statistics haphazardly inter
preted."

be in New York or vicinity today
laying plans for court contest

the bulk of the estate to William l..

If you chose your summer salads
with discrimination and build your
menu around the salad, you will
find that you are serving healthful
and appetiZing meals and also SIM
plifying your cooking. Salad nat
urally takes a leading part in sum-
mer menus, and a nodded one, jell-
led or frozen, Is an especially happy
choice since it can be prepared ear
ly in the day and tucked in the ice
box until wanted. The comfortable
assurance that part of meal Is
ready for serving is worth much TO
a busy housewife.
If you have made plain jellied
salad in a ring mold for individual
molds, YOU can easily turn it into
company fare by adding suitable
ingredients. For instance the ad-
dition of shrimps to mixture OF
raw vegetables in aspic results In
a party salad. Individual molds OF
cherry aspic gain distinction II

As Good As They Look

der of cold roast lamb makes an
other attractive and hearty salad
Potato salad in cucumber aspic with
a garnish of slices of baked ham and
radish roses is inviting to look al
and delicious to eat.
Salads of this sort are so decora,
tive that they are ideal to serve az
buffet meals, and with assorted sand
witches, a beverage and dessert, they
make a most acceptable summer
luncheon or supper.
