in concerts through the provinces

'Oh! We have no social en-

wife of the great British con-
Iductor, Sir Thomas Beecham, in
"a conversation at tea time yes
lterday. And we never do any,
thing after a concert because he
gives so much of himself in his
conducting" That is the reason
there are no luncheons, teas and
dinners planned in their honor
Their only lunch engagement is
with the National Symphony Or
chestra Association Friday when
Sir Thomas will be the speaker.
Sir Thomas and Lady Beecham
were staying until today at the

Symphony Orchestra concert
which Sir Thomas will conduct
and return tomorrow when they
will go on to the Raleigh for the

Lady Beecham is small and
dainty with hazel eyes and light
brown hair. She brushes her hair
loff her forehead and yesterday
curls rolled up at the back over
the edge of her close fitting black
hat. The day had been a trying

Lady Beecham has done very
little piano work of her own for
the past year in order to keep up
with Sir Thomas whose activities

pounds and went down into the

has gained little, she said,

Her nylon mesh slippers were
black, but they had both heels

the slipper was lace. Her stock

beautifully matched pearls. She
wore the simple narrow gold we'd

her left hand and no other rings.
Her fingers are long and tapering,
but they too are a little too thin
Proises Husbond
In speaking of her own playing
she said she loved to hear her
husband play the piano almost
more than any one else. But OF
course only at home, never pro-
fessional. He makes the piano
sound like the whole orchestra. ;
She plans to do some "grama-
phone recordings" with Si1
Thomas before very long. But
there never seems to be time for
it," This she loves to do. She even
loves to sit and watch and listen
to Sir Thomas conducting an or

"its tedious work not like here in
America. for there the only limit
to the time put in seems to be
physical endurance"

Contempt Charge
By the Associated Press

Mrs. Mary Jane Keeney. who
refused to tell Senate security in
vestigators whether any one In the
State Department helped her get.
Ia job with the United Nations.
must stand trial for contempt Of
Congress.
Judge Edward M. Curran so
ruled today in the q. S. District
Court of the District of Colum-
bia. He denied series of mo-
|tions by Mrs. Keeney's attorneys
attacking the indictment against
her.
Mrs. Keeney's attorneys con-
tended she acted In good faith
because she thought rule Of the
III. N. prevented her from answer
ing any questions concerning her
employment.
Furthermore. they argued, Mrs.
Keeney purged herself by answer
ling the question in q sworn state
lment subsequent to her appear
Iance before the Senate Internal
Security subcommittee.
In that statement, Mrs. Keeney
said no one, In or out Of the State
Department, advised her or sug-
gested to her that she make an
application for U. N. employment.
Her trial is scheduled for jan
uary 26.
Mrs. Keeney appeared before
the subcommittee February 18.
She was asked whether she had
ever been a member of the Com
munist Party and declined to an
swer that question on the
grounds of possible elf-incrimina-
ton.
Mrs. Kennedy, no longer with
the u. NJ, Is a former Government
worker. She worked for the
Board Of Economic Warfare dur
ing the war as an economic ana
lyst. She lives in New York now.
Both Mrs. Keeney and her hus-
band. Philip O. Keeney, appeared
as witnesses before the House
Un-American Committee In 1949.
The committee said its investiga-
tions exposed the associations
of the Keeneys with persons
previously identified with Commu-
mist espionage rings in the United

Air Battles in Korea
Flare Again, Fighting
On Ground S|ackens
BY tn. Assoeiei.d Pres.

SEOUL, Nov. 6.-American
Sabre jets and Communist. MIG
15s clashed today in four air
battles deep in Northwest Korea
The 5th Air Force said It's airmen
shot down one Red jet and dam
aged four.
In addition, seven more damage
claims were pending checks Of
gun camera fllm.
The jet battles were the first
since Sunday.
The flare-up Of air fighting came
as ground battles along the 155-
mile front tapered of to patrol
SkirmiSheS.
Fourteen Sabres tangled with ~
Red warplaneS in two morning
battles just south of the Yalu
River. One MIG was reported
destroyed and seven damaged, but
three of the damage claims were
withheld for confirmation.
In pair of afternoon battles.
28 Sabres clashed with more than
q score of MICS. -Four MICS were
reported damaged, one positively.
The hard fighting for the frozen
hills north of Kumhwa slackened
of today after "a days of almost
continuous battle. Battered as
sault forces retired to rest and
regroup.
For the moment, at least, neither
side showed any will to renew the
bloody central front struggle.
South Korean troops held grimly
to Sniper Ridge after throwing
back a predawn assault by $50
Chinese Reds. The attack, rela-
lively light for that sector, was
the only Communist offensive
move in "a hours.
The Reds held the crest of
nearby Triangle Hill without OPP
position. Allied leaders ordered
the South Koreans to halt their
suicide charges up the slope and
called instead for intensive artil-
lery barrages.
Fighting for the shell-scarred
slopes has been costly in men and
materials. The Reds have lost
more than 10000 killed and
wounded. U. N. losses have not
been announced, but they are Sc
we're.
(The Defense Department in
Washington said United States
battle casualties had reached
124,569. That is an increase
of 1,174 over last week. The
latest figure includes 179 dead,
LOIS wounded and 20 misSing.)
The rest of the Korean battle
front reflected the uneasy calm
Of the central front.
B-26 Invader bombers hit Red
supply lines behind the front dur
ing the night.

Evidence
ontinued From First Page.)

cases" in which the Government
had previously thought unappeal-
able.
Mr.. Howard was one of the at
torneys representing the Govern
ment in the arguments before the
appellate court.
The courts ruling came in the
case of Anthony A. Cefaratti,
charged with sale and possession
Of narcotics.
Cefaratti's car had been
searched by officers without a
search warrant and material be-
leved to be dope was found.
The defendant moved to sup
press the evidence on the ground
that the search and seizure were
illegal without a warrant and the
lower court granted the motion.
Decision Appealed.
The Government appealed the
lower courts decision. Today the
appellate court held the search
and seizure were legal and that
the evidence should not have been
suppressed. '%The Fourth Amend
ment," the court said, has been
construed as recognizing a
necessary difference between a
search of store, dwelling house
or other structure in respect of
which a proper official warrant
readily may be obtained. and a
search Of q ship, motor boat,
wagon or automobile . where it
is not practicable to secure q war
rant because the vehicle can be
quickly moved -"
In holding that the motion was
appealable, the court pointed out
that the lower courts decision
would have necessarily led to the
acquittal on charges of selling and
concealing dope if the Govern
ment had gone to trial.
ut would then have been too
late for review and possible re-
versal of the order of suppress
sion, since the rule against double
jeopardy would have prevented
the appellee tCefaratti) from be-
ing tried again. !"
Explains Finality.
Under the law only final rulings
are appealable. OF this the ap-
pellate court said:
THE purpose Of the rule OF
flnality is to prevent interrupted
trials and piecemeal appeals. The
present appeal will not result in
anything of that sort :" In
a dissenting opinion, Chief Judge
Harold Stephens wrote:
II think the court ought not
widen the ambit for appeals by
the Government in criminal cases
unless there is specific statutory
authority for so doing. In my
view there is no specific statutory
authority for an appeal by the
Government from an order of the
District Court granting a motion
to suppress evidence.
II think the appeal cannot be
taken =. because the motion Il
suppress was made and the order
denying it was entered, after re.
turn of Indictment. The proceed.
ing initiated by the motion wa.
therefore not an independent pro-
ceeding but one apart Of the Grim.
inal proceeding itself: and the or.
der was therefore not final ="
The majority opinion was writ.
