brought across the Connecti-
cut State line, Leary will be
served with a five-year-old
warrant and will be taken di-
rectly to the State Prison to
begin his 10 to Is year SEN

Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn,
ST., of Hartford, special pros
ecutor in the famous conspir-
acy trial, told The Democrat
today that Leary will not be
tried as a fugitive.
No Further Court Action
The noted prosecutor said that
no further appearance by Leary in
court will be ordered.
"All that is necessary to be done
has already been DONE" Acorn said.
"Leary will be served with a war;

or Radio Listeners
BY Bryson Rosh

Last Sunday this column con-
tanned an item about a new weather
feature on the WMAL news at 7 am.
There were several responses, one of
which remarked that the writer laid
out his clothes the night before and
did a fireman act the following
morning. He arose at z and by 7:45
had dressed, prepared and eaten
breakfast and walked two blocks to
the bus stop. With that schedule
there was no time to change the
clothes that were laid out the night
before. Hence why isn't there an
evening forecast so that plans could
be made in advance. This is to re-
port that after a close check of all
the Washington stations it has been
learned that the news broaGcasts at
II o'clock each night carry the FORE
cast for the next "A hours. Or is
that too late?
The CHS people swear that this
really happened. At a recent re-
hearsal of the Timer Sanctum"
broadcast a sequence in the drama
called for the use of wire recorder
that helped to trap the murderer.
The dress rehearsal of the show was
going along well until the part was
reached that called for the use of
the wire recorder The sound man
produced loud buzzings and crack
ing noises that sent the productL5n
man into shrieks of protest. Wire
recorders are soundless,' he howled.
If a wire recorder is soundless
how the heck do you expect me to
make a sound" was the answer Of
the technician.
The producer squelched the argu-
ment with, "A goou sound man could
make soundless sound"
