and handed its report to Judge
jefferson B. Browne, which con-
tanned true bill charging Arthur
Baker with first degree murder,
in connection with Rangers death.

morrow and in all probability his
trial will begin the following
day. Upon request of the de-
fensc attorneys, Bakers head was
examined and an X-ray photo

may be set up.

DRASTIC REDUCTION AGREED UPON IN SRA PERSONNEL
Hollywood Actor
Braves AHigators

It's a good thing for John Boles
that alligators hibernate.
Struggling through Shiny swamp
in oooze to his armpits, Boles, max
ing a scene for "A Message To Gar
cia," was confronted with danger
on all sides-alligators to the right,
left and front.
They've been asleep for two
months" he assured the actor
when cold weather comes, they
hibernate and their circulation
stops. They won't eat bite now
for four months.
"Oh, yes, we can revive them by
heating the water to 70 or rs de-
grees. They'll be pretty hungry, too,
after a two-month fast. If they
don't show enough action in this
shot, we'll warm up the swamp. If
they become too frisky, we'll drop in
a few cakes of ice."
