IMPORTANT COURT RULING IS MADE BY
 JUDGE HELLENTHAL
Says Man Had Right 10 Re- sist Officer when PIaC-
 ed Under Arrest
Anchorage Daily Times

AfAllIllOl dSC 1CdlAy 1llAACoi l A stiff reprimand for law en- ! forcement officers was handed down from the district court today when Judge Simon Hellenthal threw criminal charges against Thomas | 5. Brown out of court by instruct l ing jury to return a verdict of not guilty
 l Brown was tried on a charge of resisting deputy marshal when placed under arrest in the Federal jail last July T.
 Judge Hellenthal, at the conclu- sion of the evidence, told the jury that person when placed under arrest has the right to be taken before the commissioner court.
 "The officer has his rights and 50 have the citizens" Judge Hel- lenthal said. "One of the rights of citizen is to be taken before the commissioner and not thrown in jail immediately after arrest" Testimony in the Brown case showed that he was arrested after passing a package of pills to a prisoner. The scuffle came when Brown resisted attempts of officers to search him before placing him in the bull pen with other prison CTS, the court was told.
 We all have our duties" Judge Hellenthal told the jury. "The sta- ute under which this action is brought is a severe one. It is to protect an officer while in the per formance of his duty.
 But there is not scintilla of evidence that this man was given the right to appear before the commissioner before being thrown in jail. A man has every right to resist when an officer arrests him and starts to throw him in jail i'm mediately."
 The instruction asking verdict Of not guilty came as a surprise to those involved in the case and the spectators. Witnesses had pre- sented conflicting stories. Brown was the only witness for the de- fense
 Deputy Marshal Grover Triber told of the scuffle in the jail kit chen during which he took jack knife from Brown. He said the | scuffle lasted 15 minutes.
 Brown testified that his right side was paralyzed, his right arm in sling and he was in no con- dition to resist. He claimed Triber struck him in the face before plac- li ing him under arrest.

1000 SEARCHERS
IN FINAL HUNT
FOR LOST CHILD
Officials Fear Girl, a,
Is Dead in Woods

BRADFORD, Pa, May IL
d.N.SJ.-An army Of more than
1000 men gathered today for a
final search of the dense woods
south of here for missing four
year-old Marjory West, who disap-
peared there Sunday while picking
violetS.
The call for the searchers for
a final "elbow-to-elbow" hike
through the densely underbrushed
woods was issued last night by
Mayor Hugh j. Ryan. The men
gathered this morning along the
harrisburg Road, where Marjory
disappeared.
CLUES FADE
I'VE want men who are physi-
cally fit to hike through the
heavy brush for 10 miles," the
mayor said. I'VE want them to
bring their own lunches and be
prepared to follow orders"
Meanwhile, as all clues to the
child's whereabouts faded, the
American Legion Post 108 here
posted a 5000 reward for informa-
ton leading to Marjory's discov-
cry, dead or alive.
The searchers were directed to
proceed for 10 miles down the
Chapel Fork Valley, already the
scene of a thorough search by
hundreds Of men, CCC boys, Ma
tional Guardsmen and other vol
unteer searchers. BloodhoundS
have also been used but to no
avail.
LEFT BY SISTER
Search for the girl has been car
ried on since Sunday when she
disappeared while her older sister
left her for few minutes. Their
mother was sitting in a car in the
woods nearby while their father
fished in a stream a short dis
lance from the road.
A theory the girl may have been
seen in Thomas, w. Va, with a
man who stopped overnight at the
hotel was discarded by Chief Of
Police Edward Edmonds, he re-
ported. He said he believed the
man was satisfactorily identified

Two more of these $3.50, 900

force, took off q few moments
later and came winging upward

pressed into service by Gen. Frank

with the approaching enemy.
One naval force was spotted late
yesterday by an American de-
stroyer 500 miles off Boston, creep

A few minutes later the destroyer
radioed it was under fire of an
enemy cruiser. That was the de-
stroyer's last message before it
was sunk"

coalition is known to have left

The fleet of nation B is convoy

nation C is conveying, in addition
to planes on the aircraft carriers,
a large number of knocked-down
Grated bombers for use against in
dustrial areas of the East if land
base can be seized.
The flying fortresSeS are being
used on this dangerous reconnois-
sance mission because of their ire
mendous range. Their assignment
is to locate both fleets and radio
their positions back to CHG.
ATTACK TO FOLLOW
Then Squadrons of other bomb
ers, heavily laden with 1,000-pound
bombs may speed out and attempt
to sink them before they can in
wade United States waters.
In the next eight or ten hours
we expect to fly nearly a thousand
miles out to sea, ranging up and
down the coast from Maine to the
Carolinas. a1
Meanwhile, the theoretical war
got under way in grim earnest.
Two airports were raided by
enemy "black" bomberS at dawn
in the New England area. Another
squadron of black" transports
flew over Booth Bay Harbor,
Maine, and dropped an armed
force of between 400 and 500 men
