verdict of acquittal, Giesler
called eight witnesses in rapid
succession. Later, he told re-
porterS las you can see, we're
getting along pretty fast"
PUNGENT TESTIMONY
Most pungent defense testi-
mony so far came from Hans
Ruesch, 30-year-old New York
writer.
He said Miss Berry came TO
his apartment about two o'clock
on the morning of Dec. 81, 1912
and remained until 8 a. m.
On her arrival, Ruesch assert
ed, Miss Berry was not sober, T"
her clothing was disordered and
dirty, there was blood about her
face, her knees were abraded
and her stockings torn.
u. S. Attorney Charles H.
Carr, on cross examination,
sought TO have Ruesch admit
this might have been about Dec.
10, 1912, instead of the later
date. The witness held to his
earlier statement, however, and
Carr did not establish what sig
nificance he attached TO the
Dec. l3 date.
Giesler produced testimony
by a Tulsa, Aka, lawyer that
three checks, aggre 6 t i n &
S45280 had been paid by his
firm TO Miss Berry's account in
November, 1912, after her New
York visit in October of that
year which resulted in the
charges against Chaplin.
The lawyer, Claude H. Rosen-
stein, identified the checks, one
for $3.50, made payable to the
Santa Fee Railway; another for
S249, to the Beverly Hills hotel,
and a third, for $ll0, to the
Mayo Hotel in Tulsa. Five other
checks which Giesler sought to
introduce were barred as having
no bearing on the case.
Questioned by Giesler, Ros-
enstein said he was not acting
for Chaplin in making the pay
ments, adding 'he had no in
terest in it whatever"
j. Paul Getty, Tulsa oil man,
was another defense witness.
He testified he had met Miss
Berry, and early in l94l had
seen her frequently here. Gies-
Ter asked him if he had seen her
in Mexico City in March, 1941,
but a government objection was
sustained.
Other witnesses included sew
eral employees of Chaplin's stu.
dio who testified to various bus
mess details when Joan was en-
ployed there.
Frequently Chaplin's interest
in the trial seemed to wane.
Once during a recess he appear
ed sound asleep at the counsel
table. He aroused with a start
when several cameramen, shoot
ing closeups, set off flash bulbs
almost in his face. Chaplin only
grinned.

town and limited the use of our
tanks, while slowing the ad-
vance of troops climbing the
hills under fire."
Stimson followed up his blunt
acknowledgment that the Ger
mans stopped the Allies at Cas-
sino with this statement:
That would be a severe set
back only if we did not profit
from our lessons. We have
learned a great many things
since the war and we have put
our learning into practise. There
is no reason to believe that our
ability to profit from expert
ence has ended now"
The secretary also reminded
the reporters that mo one made
this a test of Allied power or
suggested that in these opera.
tons we are concentrating our
main strength"
He recalled that at the start
of the Casino attack he had
said very real military objec-
tives have already been achiev-
ed in the Italian campaign and
the results will progressively
aid us in the days ahead"
Reviewing the air campaign
out of England during the last
week, ~Stimson said that "as in
many recent battle drives over
Germany, the lutwaffe was q
reluctant dragon" He added,
however, that the luftwaffe mo
doubt remains a potent force,
noting that when British bomb
ers attacked Berlin Friday night
German fighters were in the
air in great numbers.
In the Southwest Pacific our
ground forces, planes and war
ships during the week added
to the mounting total of Japa-
nese losses, Stimson said. He
reported that during the pas;
week four sizeable ships have
been destroyed and two damag-
ed and IA smaller craft sunk. In
addition Sc enemy barges were
destroyed or damaged.
The advance of japanese col
umns from Burma across the
Indian border, the secretary
commented, naturally necessi-
tates effective condensation.
The enemy units in the present
operations are relatively strong
and, if they are successful they
could do damage to Allied sup
ply lines"

as to whether the City Charter
should be revised.
If the vote is favorable, the
public will be asked at later
election, either the July Pri-
mary or in November, to name
nine Charter Commissioners at
large in the city. This group
would then work in conjunction
with attorneys and municipal
experts in drawig up complete
charter, which would then be
submitted to the electorate for
adoption or rejection.
The present 1914 charter,
which took more than a years
study to draw up, was rejected
when first submitted to the vot-
ers, and not officially approved
until 1918.
Various civic groups, the
League of Women Voters, the
Metropolitan Club and other or
CARNATIONS interested primarily
in the Civil Service merit sys-
tenn are expected to swell the
vote on the Charter Revision
proposal Monday.
Many pages in the existing
charter are devoted to the city's
franchises with the old Rapid
Railway, the Gas Company and
other public utilities, and con-
cerned right-of-way privileges
and rates of fares and charges
to be set by the city - matters
which are now state-controlled,
lostly by the Public Service
Commission.
The old charter also conforms
to the Objectionable patronage
plan of appointment of subor-
dinate officials of the city. 1t
provides for a Commissioner for
each department, with the pow
er to hire and fire his assistant
superintendent and other S
working for his department.
(For years the city has ignored
this political authority, and no
employee has been dismissed for
close to a decade.)
