Final Arguments Due
Today in Christoffe|
Perjury Retria|

Closing arguments in the second
perjury trial of Harold r. Chris
toffel were being heard today in
District Court.
The summations by Prosecutors
John S. Pratt and Frank Patton
and Defense Counsel o. John
Rogge were expected to take all
day. Judge F. Dickinson Let's
has allotted 2l2 hours to each
side.
Opening for the Government
Mr.. Patton said Christoffel was
"a Communist Party man and he
was liar when he said he wasn't -
The proceedings will be re-
cessed over the holiday tomorrow.
Judge Let's plans to give final in
structions Thursday morning and
hand the case to the jury around
noon.
Trial in Fourth Week.
The trial in which the former
president of Local 248 (UAW-
CIOJ at Allis- Chalmers Milwau-
kee plant is accused of lying to
the House Labor Committee about
his alleged Communist connec-
tions is now in it's fourth week.
Christoffel was convicted OF
similar charges in 1948, but the
Supreme Court reversed that
verdict. The Government failed
to show that a committee quorum
was present, the high court ruled
The procession of defense wit
nesses ended yesterday, with At
torney Rogge still futilely demand
ing that the House send to court
certain records, which, he says
might show whether a quorum was
present during the entire Chris
toffel hearing on March /, 1947.
Judge Rests Defense.
With the presentation of his
last witness. Mr.. Rogge announced
he could go no further without
the records. When he also de-
clared that he refused to rest the
defense formally, Judge Let's in
effect rested it for him. He
ordered both sides to submit their
requests for final instructions to
the jury.
Mr.. Rogge repeatedly has at
tackled the prosecution claim that
at least 13 Labor Committee mem
bers, simple majority, heard the
entire Christoffel proceedings at
the Capitol.
Indications are that he has
settled on that attack as his
clients best defense. Christofel
was sentenced to serve from two
to six years in his first trial.

War On Memorial
Day

NEW YORK (ANP)- Two
teen-aged gangs, bent on carrying
out a threat to "setle differences
did just that here Memorial Day
by staging a running "zip-gun"
war through the crowded streets
and in Prospect park. When the
melee was over, two gang men,
bers had sustained bullet wounds
and more than a score had been
arrested.
The fighting broke out under
the very nose of more than 100
police assigned specially to prevent
such outbreaks. That the battle
was to be held on Memorial Day
was a fact that had been we'll
publicized in advance.
AT least two .35 calibre revol-
vers were used, but the chief
weapons were "zip-guns", a home
made weapon fashioned from
lengths of pipe and made to shoot
small calibre bullets through strik-
ing them on the cap by a strong
spring or heavy rubber band.
The first battle began in a
Brooklyn street less than a mile
away from the park while crowds
were returning from a parade
shortly before noon. Involved in
this skirmish were the Nits and
the Greene Avenue Stompers. A
patrolman halted the battle and
caught one of the gang members.
Later that afternoon, the two
gangs renewed their battle in

s. z" brunette beauty who became
runner-up to the new Queen-Yo-

seTOday's beauty can't let grass

prepared for the future whether
her lot falls to q glamOr career, a

Too many girls bank everything

nor who prepared herself carefully
for her Atlantic City debut. Even
after she had won the Miss South
Dakota" title, and though she had
majored in Dramatics and Speech
at the University of South Dakota,
where she is a junior, she took spe-
eial courses at the BarbizOn School
of Modelling in New York before
entraihing to the glamOr parade.
At the modelling school she
learned among other charm Sc
crets how to walk without bOunc-

That's The Trouble
With Women

MONTREAL - Too hard . too
sensitive they boiler uncle when
the chips are dOWn-~toO eager
beaverish.
Those are the reactions of men in
business to women in business &C
cording to Betty Stryan of Mon
treal.
Miss Stryan a publicist here,
questioned several business men
about business women and here's
what she came up with.
They're too hard and tough,
says a textile engineer. IF a wO-
man desires any kind Of position
other than secretarial or stenOgra-
phic, she meets with a very polite
but decided resistance from men.
To combat that, women develop a
hardness which may make them
successful in business, but certain
ly unattractive as women"
They are too sensitive" in the
opinion of an advertising manager
you can always call a man in and
bawl him out about a job not well
done. But a woman! You criticize
her and you have a grudge against
her"
when the chips are down, the
woman invariably hollers uncle and
asks a man to pitch in and help,
according to a professional photo
grapher.
''ToO eager beaverish," is the
judgement passed on many bus
mess women by a public relations
officer. eff they are hired as secre
taries, they want to be something
else-~something bigger and better
They're never satisfied to do the
job for which they were hired"

look, and give the appearance of
intelligence and vitality. In the old
days q girl could be beautiful and
have few other qualifications to
impress the judges. But not to-
day."
The fair-skinned beauty, who
weighs 1913 pounds, has a S6-inch
bust, 25-inch waist and S5-inch
hips, found that her dramatic les
sons weren't a waste of time-all
is fnalists in the contest also
were judged on the basis Of special
talents.
Miss O'COnnOr, who loves to
swim, ride horseback and play pi-
ano, decided even before she look
ed the beauty pageant judges in
the eye that her glamOr career
would be short even if she won
the contest. You see, she's en-
gagged to boy back home and mar
riage is her main object.
Is the resOurceful Miss O'COn-
nor prepared for that? Sure
enough! Says she:
81 think I'm a pretty good cool
and / adore whipping up culinary
surprises. While Il would be fur
to have a fling at a gIamOr career
perhaps in Hollywood, 1 think the
kitchen can manage to keep mC

Family Help Starts
Most Farm Owners

AMES, Ia. = P) - A survey
made by Iowa State College in a
typical central Iowa county show
ed that in Iowa farmers are born,
not made. More than half of those
Queried reported they relied on the
members Of their family to provide
them with their first farm.
On the other hand only six per-
cent of those Surveyed started farm
ing purely by investing their saw
ings. Robert A. Rohwer, sociology
professor, observed:
when people argue that it's
possible to start farming on a hired
mans savings, they may be right
But our results show that very few
have done it,"
At the same time, he said, it does
not mean that because a young
farmer got his place through fam.
lily help that he was given his start
Some were gifts, the survey show
ed, but most of the family hell
was in the form of loans, some a
very low interest, use of and anC
equipment under very favorable
conditions, and scale of land ant
equipment often at low prices.
