SANTA ANA, Calf, May IT.
Baked in an attempt to iisqualify
Special Prosecutor Eugene D. VIII

Louise Overell, IS, and George Col
lum. q, college sweethearts accused
of numbering her parents, proceeded
slowly today in questioning prospec-
tive jurors.
Lawyers for the young couple
argued yainly before Superior Judge
Kenneth C. Morrison that the at
torney generals Office exerted politi-
cal pressure in supplanting Orange
County District Attorney James Da-
Wis with Mr.. Williams, VINO was q
prosecutor in the japanese war
crimes cases.
The defense has challenged two
jurors for cause because they testi-
fed they had formed opinions as
to how Mr.. and Mrs. Walter E.
Overell, wealthy Flintridge resi-
dents, came to their deaths aboard
their dynamite-blasted yacht in
Newport Harbor the night of
March Is.
Five Questioned Carefully.
Over and over, Louise's lawyers,
Otto Jacobs and z. B. West, asked
talesmen if they would be able to
disregard strong circun1stantial evil
dence pointing to guilt and return
verdict of acquittal unless con-
vinced beyond reasonable doubt
that Miss Overell killed her parents.
The five persons questioned ad-
mitted they had read newspaper
stories about the explosion and sink
ing of the Oyerell yacht and the
many developments in the case.
Some said they had discussed 1t
with neighbors or relatives, but were
convinced they could render fair
and impartial verdict.
The prospective jurors were asked

Both Listen Intently.
Throughout the opening day of
the trial, Gollum and his sweetheart.
sole heir to her fathers estimated
S600,00 estate, listened with un-
swerving interest to attorneys argu-
ments and questioning of prospec-
tive jurors. When court was ad-
journed they shook hands with their
counsel and were led back to jail,
the husky, 22o-pound Gollum in
handouts.
Lawyers estimate 1t may take two
weeks to select jury and from eight
to nine weeks to complete the case.

In Aqencies and Factories

Factory owners and city officials
would have a chance to operate their
own selective service system under
plan which the War Department
has launched to enlist the services
of 300, 1000 men and women in affili-
ated units of the Organized Reserve
Corps, it was learned today.
The plan, broached yesterday at
a meeting OF industrial, labor and
educational representatives with War
Department officials, calls for the
organization Of $500 specialized re-
serve units within Government
agencies, hospitals, municipal de-
partments and industrial plants
throughout the country.
1t. Gen. C. P. Hall, director of
organization and training, War De-
partment general staff, explained
that the drive for these units is in
tended to provide service troops
ready to 60 to work as units in an
emergency.
Time Saving Stressed.
He termed the intended organiza-
ton a time saver" explaining that
the War Department in an emer-
gency could get enough combat
troops through the Organized Re-
serve and National Guard but is
short on service troops.
The organization will follow
these lines, he explained:
Factory owners, city and govern
ment heads will be asked individual
ly to sponsor volunteer units with
in their organization.
Setting up the units will be the
responsibility of the individual plants
or Government departments. In
selecting the men and women for
the units, however, the owner should
take into consideration what the
plant needs to keep operating in
wartime and which men would con-
tribute the most by serving in units
which might be called to war.
Gen. Hall pointed out that he
couldn't guarantee that possible fu-

ture draft boards would follow the
choices made by the factories, but
at least 1t would give the factories
Ia chance to work out wartime
setup that would not disrupt their
operations.
Training will vary with the units
Members of hospital units, for in
stance, would need little training
other than learning how to make
out Army medical reports and TAX
ing care of themselves under COM
bat conditions.
On the other hand, Criminal
Investigation Department set up as
a reserve unit within a police de-
partment might require consider
able training.
Gen. Hall said the special units
will be drawn from laundry, bakery,
police, post Office, hospital, chem
ical, electronics, signal, road build
ing, trucking, refrigerating and
other organizations.
Training Is Stressed.
Gen. Eisenhower, Army Chief of
Staff, who addressed the closed
meeting yesterday. emphasized that
the Nation needs trained manpower
ready to expand the existing mill
tary structure in case of an emer-
gency.
1t was explained that while the
country has the skills required for
service troops, there might not be
time to sort out these skills through
selective service and train the men
and women as units.
Gen. Hall said the campaign tor
100000 men and women will start
Immediately The size of this spe-
cial organization may be enlarged,
depending on the reception the
plan gets.
War Department officials believe
some of the units, such as those in
hospitals, railroad battalions and air
service units, could be set up within
the next few weeks, while others
may take from four months to a
year.

Delay in Congress
BY The Assoeioted Press

- Congress showed little DISPOSE

'pver President Truman's plea for
military cooperation with other
American nations.
: The idea in both Senate and
House seemed to be that Mr. Tru-
mans bid for a law to make possible
standardized military organizations,
training methods and equipment
throughout this hemisphere can
wait while.
: But leaders on both sides said 1t
will be considered in due time.
Meanwhile, two other major for
eign policy bills-to permit Ameri-
can membership in the Interna-
tional Refugee Organization and to
continue the State Departments
information program, waited in the
House for the Rules Committee to
grant priorities for floor debate.
The information service bill -
pegged to selling American aims to
the world by means of Voice OF
America radio broadcasts and other
activities-is first in line. The Rules
Committee will take another look at
1t tomorrow 1t may come before
the House next week.
The Foreign Affairs Committee
approved only yesterday the meas
ure to shift to a United Nations
agency the problem of caring for
refugees and displaced persons in
Germany and Austria.

Friend in Studio Row
by the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 8.-Radio COM
mentator Fulton Lewis, jr., said he
was hit on the jaw after radio
broadcast last night by friend OF
Elliott Roosevelt after Mr.. Lewis,
Mr.. Roosevelt and the latter's wife,

We Aqree

Weeks ago, when Sidney Luckman
and his committee came out with their
meatless, eggless, chickenleSs days to save
food for starving Europe, the JOURNAL
in an editorial advocated a return to ra-
tioning and price control Ii was our be-
lief that the inflationary spiral would con
tnue as a result of cutting into the avail
able food supplies of the nation.
We are happy indeed that CIO has
taken the same position and for the same
reasons advanced here. On the other
hand, ii must be obvious that regardless
what CIO advocates in the way of log
ical approach to the food and initiation
problems that Congress is bound to take
an entirely different view of the matter
and come up with an answer that adds
chaos TO confusion.
Senator Taft who heads the Repub-
lican policy committee in Congress has in
dicated that he is not satisfied with the
Presidents proposals made when he called
the special session of Congress for No
vember IT. We can sit back with COM
plete confidence in Mr.. Taffs ability to
make EurOpes misery and our own stu-
alton political football. After all, hasn't
the Ohio Republican reactionary given
the presidency the nod?
This is not the first time that a Re-
publican Congress rode herd over an
economic and international situation
which headed the nation into deep depres-
sion and laid the groundwork for the tenn
pOrary success of Hitler and his war ma
chine. Nothing can stop the Republicans
now if they have their minds made up to
aid history to repeat itself. They have the
votes, the type of mentality and stupidity
required to bring about another debacle.
