MOTION FOR new
TRIAL is FILED
IN FARMER CASE
Defense Attorney Meyer Cites
Eight Charges of Errors
In Latest Action

Sentencing of Richard Farmer,
29-year-old Port Clinton resident
who was convicted of first degree
murder in the death of Helen No
BILE, was postponed Wednesday
afternoon when Common Pleas
Judge Tom D. Stahl took under
advisement" motion by defense
counsel Leslie Meyer for a new
trial.
In moving for a new trial, AT.
torney Meyer cited eight charges
of error and insisted in his argu-
ments before the court that evi-
dence during the trial did not
support finding Farmer guilty of
any crime.
Prosecutor Myron A. Rosentre-
ter argued that the defense's
charges of error were without
foundation whatsoever.
The evidence, Mr.. Rosentreter
stated, showed all the elements
of the crime. He maintained that
the court gave the defendant every
consideration to which he was en-
titled and added that "if there
was any prejudice, it was against
the state"
Attorney Meyer, who was ap-
pointed defense counsel at Farm
er's request, in his arguments sup
porting a motion for a new trial
charged that the fact that the de-
fendant was manacled throughout
the trial was highly prejudicial;
that the court erred in restricting
examination of jurors; that ques-
tions as to prospective jurors
views on capital punishment were
not properly asked and gave the
jury an improper idea of the case;
that there was error in the open
ing statement of the prosecutor to
the jury; that the prosecutor pre-
JUDGED the defendant in object
ing TO introduction of statement
made by the defendant; that the
court was in error when he failed
to instruct the jury that verdict
of manslaughter could be return
ed, and that although given later,
it was obvious to the jury that the
court did not give consideration
to manslaughter.
The defense counsel contended
that it was obvious the case was
decided by the jury before it was
brought into court and that the
presumption of innocence to which
the defense was entitled was not
given by the jury.
Mr.. Meyer insisted that on the
basis of evidence presented, Far
mer was not properly convicted
and should be granted a new trial
Prosecutor Rosentreter, in re-
viewing the eight charges of er.
ror one at time, declared that
the denfense was throwing the
book" at the court without any
justification whatsoever.
Mr.. RoSentreter reiterated that
the evidence brought out during
the course of the trial certainly
supports the verdict" and he
maintained that the defense mo-
ton should be over-ruled.
A decision by Judge Stahl or
the denfense motion for new trial
is not anticipated for several days.
In event Farmers conviction by
the jury of first degree murder
with recommendation of mercy is
upheld, sentencing of life impris-
onment is mandatory.

LOCAL RESIDENTS MAROONED BY
SNOWST0RM DURING BLIZZARD

Dropping 40 degrees in few
hours, winter arrived with ven
geance Friday morning when the
thermometer tumbled to two de-
grees above zero, an all-time low
for November "a in this area. The
former low was IA degrees, regis
tered on November "a, 1884.
Snow, driven by near-hurricane
strength winds, made driving haz-
ardous Saturday. Numerous min.
or accidents were reported, but
motorists soon learned to drive
slowly as roads were as slippery
as wet glass.
Many local residents who had
spent the holiday weekend with
relatives in other states, were
stranded when their autos were
caught in snow jammed highways.
Those brave souls who drove to
Columbus for the Michigan-Ohio
State game had hectic experiences,
and some were not able to return
home until Monday.
Motorists Stranded
Mr.. and Mrs. Del Newman and
son were stranded near Cham
paign, Illinois, when their car was
caught in a snow bank Sunday
along with 400 other vehicles.
They had spent the holiday with
relatives in Milwaukee and were
taken to a hotel until the road
could be opened.
Mr.. and Mrs. Floyd White and
Herbert White spent the holiday
with relatives in Vanceburg, Ken
lucky, and were stranded south of
the Ohio River. They did not re-
turn here until early this week.
Newlyweds Mr.. and Mrs. Rich
ard Van HooSe, enroute home
after their honeymoon trip, were
snowbound in Lima.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gaylord Engler and
Mr.. and Mrs. Gordon Cooper drove
to Columbus Friday night, and cid
not attempt to start home until
Sunday. BY using main roads,
they returned here at 4 p. m. Sun
day. They stayed Friday and Sat
urday nights at the Neil House
and remained at the football game
only until half time.
DR.. and Mrs. Derrill Hablitzel
and Mr.. and Mrs. DeForrest Max
we'll drove to Columbus Friday
evening, and were not able to re-
turn until Monday.
Mr.. and Mrs. c. E. MundWiller,
Sand Road, had their lucky star
with them. They drove to Colum-
bus Saturday morning, saw the
game, and returned safely the
same evening.
Joe Morgan, Richard Whisner
and Tom Belford reached Port
Clinton at six a. m. Sunday after
a narrowing trip. They were
caught in a snowbank near Della
ware, during which it took six
hours to travel three miles.
Mr.. and Mrs. Billy Cotner drove
to Washington Court House on
Thanksgiving Day and we're ma
rooned when three feet of snow
closed roads in that area.
Church Service Held
Church services were held as
usual Sunday morning in st. John
Lutheran Church and despite the
difficult transportation problems,
an excellent crowd was on hand
Four local people and their
guests spent Saturday night in a
Bucyrus hotel after their cars
were caught in deep snow south of
that city. In this group were Mr..
and Mrs. Edgar hammers, Mr.. and
Mrs. Richard Bredbeck, Mrs. Effie
Kelly, Onstead, Michigan, and Mrs.
Hattie Smith, Pontiac, Mich.
One of the cars was able to
reach Bucyrus, while the other

next 81 years or in 1877, the Sephardim may
equal the Ashkenazim.
While the Ashkenazi immigrants are mainly
elderly people, the Oriental Jews are young,
with many children. Out of the $4,000 Yemenite
Jews who arrived recently, go per cent are chill
dren under 18 years of age and nearly rs per
cent under 80 years Of course it is expected
that these men will immensely multiply in the
future. This problem applies also to the
North African Jews.
To see how the future generation will look,
has to visit typical kibbutz of the North
African Jews There, to parents with dark hair
and olive complexion are born blond or ginger
babies. In short, these children are no different
in character or physical outlook than typical
sabras. Living in mixed Israel villages, the Or
iental immigrants quickly absorb the local habits
character and culture Their children in youth
movements behave as other Israelis do.
1t seems that the picture of the typical sabra
will not disappear from Israel.

Stuttgart, (JTA) - Judge A.

moved from the bench after re-
marking that he does not "care
whether someone is Gauleiter or
unsuccessfully gassed a rabbi" is
still employed by the public pros
ecutor's office, although he is not
permitted to appear in court. The

British Will Try
To Halt German
Anti-SemitiSm

London, (JTA) - The British
Government 'will not hesitate to
intervene" should the German au-
thorities fail to deal with increas-
ing anti-Semitism, Lord Hender-
son, parliamentary Undersecre-
tary of the British Foreign Office,
declared. He spoke before 1000
prominent persons marking the
conclusion of the conference of
leaders of Jewish organizations
from the British Commonwealth
at which various problems con-,
cerning Jewish life in Britain and.
in the Dominions were discussed.
Lord Henderson added, how:
ever, that he believes "a true and
lasting solution of anti-Semitism
in Germany can come only from
the Germans themselves realizing
that racial hatred can have no
place in a civilized state" The
emergence of Israel, he continued,
has in no way impaired the loyalr
ties of British and Commonwealth
JeWeries to their countries of
adoption.
Israel" Lord Henderson de-
clared, "has chosen the democrat
ic way of life and many of its
institutions are derived from Brit
ish and Commonwealth sources.
Many leading statesmen were
either born within the Common
wealth or lived there for many
years" He expressed the hope
that the Israel Government will
succeed in overcoming the tre-
mendous difficulties of integral
ing elements of widely-differing
backgrounds in culture, education
and language.

Ashkenasi Je,os In Israel Becoming A Minority

Tel Aviv-Within the next few years, the pres
ent Ashkenazi Jews in Israel will no more boast
of being the major group in the country. Only
in the event that Jews from North and South
America in large numbers settle here will they
equal the Sephardim in numbers.
The 100000 Ashl1enazim of Israel (from Eu-
rope) are roughly 70 per cent and other Orientals
number only 80 per cent For the time being,
the influx to Israel comes mainly from the East
and all signs indicate that in the near future
this type of immigration will continue to grow.
Let us imagine for a moment that immigra-
ton to Israel were to stop tomorrow. To con-
slider that the average Ashkenazi family has
three children we come to a conclusion that
within the next Is years, in one generation,
the present 100000 Ashkenazin will increase to
over 1,O00 000 At the same time, the present 3OO-
900 Sephardim with an average of five children
per family will grow to about 100000. While
the birth rate among the Ashkenazim steadily
decreases, at the same time thanks to sanitary
conditions, the death rate of the Sephardim de-
creaseS too. In such static circumstances, in the
