Jury
Hears Wrangle
Over Injuries

CLEVELAND @-The defense
and an expert state witness wran-
gled bitterly today ovnr +'-n 'c- !.
of the injuries DR.. Samuel H. Shep-
pard received on the u, =.
wife's murder.
DR.. Richard Hexter, q physician
who examined Sheppard, was the
witness.
Sheppard claims he was struck
down and twice was knocked un-
conscious by 4 ''buShy haired,
marauder, who he says was the
actual murderer.
Hexter examined the osteopash
on the afternoon of July 4, only
few hours after the Staying OF
Sheppard's pregnant wife Mari
lyn, 81.
A heated argument began when
Hexter testified about the signif-
icance of the absence of abdominal
reflexes.
He found such absence on the
right side of Sheppard's abdomen,
he said.
But in and of itself, such an
absence Of reflex doesn't mean a
thing" Hexter said.
Defense Atty. william j. Corri-
gan, in cross examination, pounced
fiercely on this statement.
He commended a blow on the back
of the neck could have injured the
central nervous system, and he
tried to force Hexter to agree that
the absence of the abdominal re-
flex showed this injury.
Hexter replied that IL per cent
of normal men do not have normal
abdominal reflexes. lie cited his
sources and statistics for this. This
was the basis for his statement
that the absence of the reflex ''in
and Of itself, doesn't mean q
thing"
COrrigan, his voice rising, said:
Il am going to ask this court
and this jury to perform an expert
ment. / am going to ask them to
hit themselves in the back of the
neck at the base of the brain to
judge the tremendous force of the
blow"
Prosecution attorneys objected
and Judge Edward Blythin said
that kind of experiment could not
take place in his courtroom.
DR.. Hexter, in direct testimony,
said the defendant had injuries
on his mouth, face, forehead and
ribs. But as to the possibility. of a
spinal INJURY, he said II just could
not make a diagnosis of a spinal
cord injury"

NEW YORK - JOSEPHINE
BAKER DUE BACK DECEM-
Der: JOSEPHINE BAKER
who visited the U. S. so quiet
ly in September, will be back
this way again in December.
And it will be another very
quiet trip, for it concerns her
legal battle with columnist
WALTER WINCHELL. A
very important source has it
that Winchel is trying to
settle the affair out of court.
He has before him the pre-
cedent of his fellow colum-
mist Westbrook Pegler, who
lost a libel suit to Quentin
Reynolds to the tune of a
quarter of a million SIS. e.
For these trips to America,
Josephine's attorney ordered
no talking or even press con-
ferences for fear she might
be missinterpreted. She hard
ly budged from Mr.. Hayes
lavish east side apartment and
only for tlie court hearings.
on the last day OF her
visit, she took in several
Broadway spots watching
EARTHA KIT, DUKE Ell
LINGTON and LIONEL HAMP-
TON at work. Josephine
continues to be a very big
star in Europe. Her handsome
chateau is home to every i'm
portant parsonage in her
adopted country, France, from
the President on down. None
of her mishaps in America
have dulled her popularity in
Europe. Gracious as ever, she's
hoping it won't be long before
her battle with Winchell is
over and she can return to
work in America. FRED

VETERAN NEWS

The old saying, Never put
off until tomorrow what you
should do today" is sound
advice for veterans who plan
to use their educational ben
efits under the Korean CT
Bill.
Manager William ]. Blake
of the Veterans Administra-
TONS Regional Office pointed
out that there is much for
the prospective Gil student to
do before he enters college or
other school under the aus
pieces of public Law $50 - the
Korean CT Bill.
First, he must decide on his
educational or professional
goal. If he's not sure what
this is, he may take advantage
of Veterans Administrations
counSeIlng a service which will
give him valuable information
on the field of education or
training from which he may
expect to benefit most. He
need only apply at his Vet
Grams Administration region
al office for this counselling
service.
Once the type of education
or training has been deter
mined, the veteran must ap-
ply for training benefits,
Here are two points to re-
member
l, He should be sure to
correctly indicate his final
training objective.
2. He must state on the
application the school he
wants to attend and the
exact course he plans to
take. He must be sure the
school of his choice will &C
cept him for enrolment and
that it has been approved
for CT training by the
State approving agency.
Finally, Blake emphasized,
it's part of the law that a
veteran may change his ed
vocational objective only once.
Therefore, it's important to be
sure he's headed in the right
direction the first time.
Consideration to these de-
tails and early application for
CT training benefits may pre-
vent delays in Veterans Ad-
ministration approval of the
veterans training and also
possible delays in his educa-
tional allowance checks after
he has started school.

Hints
YOUR FINGERS

Naturally, but strangely
enough, some people forget to
wash their hands. While it
seems simple, obvious and
very necessary, yet dirty hands
are often in evidence. Now,
after washing the hands, one
must take especial care of
the nails as they catch and
hold dirt particles under them
presenting the appearance of
what is commonly called
mourning" Heaven forbid
that you know the chagrin of
having such nails and to be
wise and follow handwriting
with nail attention. File them
into shape and clease them
perfectly; follow this by poll
iShing. Use natural, pink or
red, according to taste. Now,
you are ready to go forth and
face an admiring world.
