 "No," Tunney said.
 The magistrate then discharged the two girls.

 "So was l." said her husband, Chester, also an olympic athlete.
 Tunney said he had signed the affidavits because of 8 letter he had written to "a friend of mine" while he was working at Camp Happy.
 T don't want to embarrass these girls" Magistrate Dogole said.
 Neither do l." said William A. Gray, attorney for Mrs. Phillips and Miss OConnor. But this is a pre- liminary hearing and we don't know exactly whether these charges are true unless this man tells exactly what he saw"
 T don't want to describe 1t here," Tunney said.
 "These ladies' futures are ct stake," Magistrate Dogole said.
 T don't want to talk any more," Tunney insisted.
 "Then I'll discharge the defend- arts," Magistrate Dogole said. stormy Hearing It was a stormy hearing before the mayor. William A. Gray, attor- ney for Miss O'Connor, challenged Wilson's right to sit as Q magistrate and the two men almost came to blows.
 After Mayor wilson had refused to heed Gray's protest, Detective Warren Murpthy was called to the witness stand and began reading @ confession that Miss O'Connor al- legedly made after she was arrested in the Glenn killing. Nancy's body was found Labor day in 0 mud puddle on a lonely road.
 While Detective Murphy was reading the document, Gray leaped out of his chair and charged that Detective Capt. John Murphy was coaching the witness by nodding his head. T don't believe Captain Murphy is directing the witness," Mayor Wilson said.
 Epithets Start
 "Well, you've got to expect tricks like that before @ judge like you" Gray yelled.
 You're the one who's being tricky" wilson answered. That's just part of your method"
 T didn't expect any fair play" Gray said, before judge --." "Sit down." the mayor shouted. I'm capable of conducting this case. I don't want your interfer- ence."
 "You dirty rat" Gray shouted, and again the mayor interrupted:
 "Well, I haven't been divorced"
 Sometime" Gray said angrily, I'm going to meet up with you and do something to you"

 Struggle for Control
 The United Press today declared that the meeting tonight will mark a struggle for control of the Demo- cratic party in the state. A U. P, dispatch states:
 An insurrection on the part of the old guard faction headed by Mayor Thomas J. Spellacy, Hart- ford, Judge Paul Connery, Norwalk, and Deputy State Comptroller John w Dove, Danielson, against the New Guard leadership of U. s, Senator Francis T. Maloney and State Chairman J. Francis Smith, caused the smoldering bitterness to break Into the open.
 The principal charge of the re. volters against the leadership was dictatorship" It was claimed Ma. loney and Smith were seeking to dominate the party without re- gard to the feelings and interests of the frank and flle."

A union official reported that one worker was carrying Q gun. Police halted the automobile In which the worker was said to be riding, but Q search re. vealed nothing.
 Not A Critical Day
 Delmond darst, international vice president of the union, had expected about 400 pickets at the plant this morning. Asked If union officials feared violence, he replied:
 Tt is not e critical day as far as St, LouiS strikers are concerned, and 1t won't be unless the company forces our hand" :.
 Circuit Judge Robert J. Kirkwood refused Saturday to issue 0 restrain Ing order prohibiting mass picketing and continued until Dec. 3 the Ford company's suit for an Injunction. Replying to an assertion by Q cof1l- pany attorney that there will be bloodshed unless e restraining order is issued ct once," the judge said:
 1T don't think there IS any reason for alarm. Lawyers come in here with beads of precipitation on their brows seeking Q restraining order to prevent picketing, but can't get excited over things like that"

That plan was abandoned by Ford after one sit.down strike and an attempt to start another, and was re.o opened only after city authorities pledged adequate police protection.

 Cold weather and snow forged the union to curtail it's picket lines here during the weekend. Earlier, union officials charged that the company had transported 70 lot of Negro thugs from Detroit to break the strike" and company spokesniefl rec piled that "the only outsiders were brought in by the union to swell the picket lines"

A showing of oil in a full mem

south of Cut Bank oil field. Loca-
tion Is northwest corner Section IL

Cut Bank sand was found at a
round 2915 and the oil show came
in the lower Cut Bank at 2934-29 A,
sand continuing to 1915, giving a
total of so feet of sand. A little wa
ter was found in the Upper Cut
Bank which will necessitate under
roaming the 8 y inch casing down
to the bottom of the hole.
The well will be drilled on down
to the Madison lime where produc-
ton is expected as a result of the
showing of oil in the Gypsy well,
five miles southwest, on the same
structural trend. The two wells are
on about the same structural ele-
walton.
The Model Oils well found the
yellow at 1876 and a second yell
low at 29OS. Geologist E. Byers EN-
