 Is was only z matter os minutes after the order was Issued that the troops were on the move. The Strat. Wgy ha been prepared over the weekend, and the flash from the White House sent the soldiers roli- aSlg towar the Inglewood plant in the Los Angeles suburbs.
 1000 Ready tO Enter
 X White House announcement said that ct the time the order was signed, approximately 1000 workers with lunch pails were ready to en. tetr the plant an resume work, but were blng prevente by approxi- ssiately an equal number Of pickets of the striking Cfo United Automo- bile Workers.
 At that time, it was disclosed by Early, no more than 10 or a dozen workers actually had entered the plant through the CIO picket line despite police efforts too provide protection for them.
 Signed Order at iO:45
 An oral statement by Early dis. cloging the order follows:
 "At i0:40 the President in his study signed the executive order au- thorising the secretary of war i'm. snediateiy to take possession of and operate the plant of North Amer. 2can, Inc, at Los Angeles, now closed as a result of c strike.
 "The order was prepared in coi- Liberation with the War Depart. rnont, the Justice Department. the defense agencies. and the ofilce of prodouction Management. He also took the step unanimously approved by the cabinet when he laid 1t be. fore it at It's last meeting.
 "Ssfore he signed the order, the prea!Ncnt with Col. Patterson, Jack son ard Hillman had talked to the plant by telephone to the army of. 4icer then on duty. This officer tLieut. Col. Branshaw) told the President that there were about l.. 900 men with dinner pals ready to enter the plant and resume work. They were being prevented by about 1000 other men on picket lines. The officer said that in his opinion the army should move in because, in his opinion, the situation was beyond control of tho Los Angeles police.
 "When the order was given, the colonel was specifically directed by Patterson, acting in accordance with the Presidents instructions, to tell the military they should give the men protection at work, leaving work and at their homes.
 "Sidney Hiilman and the others agreed that the Issuance of the or- der was necessary if the plant was to open and to operate because the workers willing to return to work seemed tiniid and hesitant to do 50 unless given army protection"
 Second Time Tried
 The use of federal troops to open up a struck plant marked the secs 0nd time in 10 years that they have been used to cope with | domestic disorder. The last occasion was the Gispersa lof the World War bonus army in this city, ordered by former President Herbert Hoover in 1881.
 Federal troops also were called out Co halt disorders in the famous Pullman strike in Illinois near the end Of the last century.

 The defense contended that the Newman had come into town about two years ago and was unfamiliar with the law. He stated the viola. ton was not as to the quality Of the eggs but the size. This was cited in the report of Specialist Williams to have been done continually in dlS- regard of the law and was not due to the unfamiliarity which the de- fenBe claimed.

 The defense said that warm weather plays havoc with the eggs in the store.
 The prosecution stated that In the following the logic of Atty. oraicerstein to its relentless con. clusion, the state finds the accused guilty as charged as a second of- fender after the repeated warnings issued to the management of the store,

OBLIVIOUS OF WORRY

After airplanes had been searching

combing the woods near her home,
21-months old Charlotte L. Prime, of
Cecil County, was found by a minis

Prime, had left her daughter in the
front yard of her farm home near
Port Deposit, while she went to the
rear of the house where workmen
were making repairs.
When she returned Is minutes later
the child had disappeared. After a

and had missed the search party.
She seemed frightened when found
by the Rev. Kenneth E. Walters, of
Port Deposit, but otherwise unframed
by her afternoons walk.
