$4,000 Bonds

Los ANGELES, Oct. 20
U.N.SD.-Martin Snyder, for
mer husband Of Ruth Etting,
today was under a county
grand jury indictment on
charges of shooting and criti-
cally wOunding Miss Etting'S
present husband, Myrl S.
Alderman. He was held In
lieu of $4,000 bail.
Snyder's indictment came
after Miss Etting appeared
before the grand jury yeSter-
day and told of the shooting
in her Hollywood home last
Saturday.
While the blonde singer
was teStifying, Mrs. Alma
Alderman, former wife of the
young composer, suggested q
reconciliation for the sake Of
their baby daughter.

BAIL|FFS GONE;
COURT RECESSES

The radio broadcast of the pro-
ceedings in Traffic Court was
abruptly terminated today.
Instead of the usual 15-minute
broadcast, there was only 10.
The reason-well, Judge Hobart
Newman banged with his gavel,
ordered a recess and declared:
Il will not run this court
without bailiffs."
1t seems that Bailiff J. G..
Schmidt was taking a prisoner
to the cell block, Bailiff John
SWitzer was taking convicted de-
PENDANTS to the pay off window,
and Bailiff Wiley Hill is on vaca-
tion.
So the broadcast ended with
"The Funeral March of a Mar
ionette."
And court was in recess until
a bailiff returned.

MEDICAL EXAMS

According to Major Daniel j..
Donovan, District auditor, the pro
gram can be put into operation
with mo more money than we
have on hand" despite earlier
statements that the survey would
require deficiency appropriation
from Congress.
A stumbling block was thrown
in the path of the proposal, how
ever, when it was learned that
while organized physicians are
willing to extend reasonable CO
operation" to District authorities,
free examinations of 1,500 persons
might go beyond the point Of rea-

report q fire in the 1000 block Of

Much to his disappointment he
found the boys at No. 4 sitting
around their checker game think
ing nothing about fire. A few
questions revealed that the ad-
dress he had given was in No. SIS
territory and that company was
speeding toward the alleged fire.
Approximately 80 minutes later
the young recruit, who Joined No.

on q charge Of turning in q false
