CLEVELAND, Oct. 29.-De-
fense lawyers attempted today
to get a three-day delay in the
Sheppard murder trial. They
said they want the time to look
over a new group of alternate
juror prospects.
Then Judge Edward Blythin
recessed the trial at 11:05 (EST)
to look up the Ohio law to see
whether DR.. Samuel H. Shep-
pard's lawyers are entitled to
this privilege.
The original supply of rs juror
prospects was exhausted today
as the last two were excused,
and 10 members of a new panel
of Is prospects for two alter
nate jurors showed up.
But examination by the State
and defense Of these people was
held up by white haired William
]. Corrigan's insistence that he
must be permitted three days
to go over the names of the
prospects to see who they are.
Mr.. Corrigan is Sheppard's chief
lawyer.
Will Rule Today.
The trial, now in its 10th day,
was to resume later this after
noon. The judge then will rule
on Mr.. Corrigan's request.
From the rs, attorneys hope
to pick two alternates to clear
the way for a jury trip through

Boxing Commission
Sinking Revenues Pui
3 on Per Diem Pay

Revenues Of the District Box
ing Commission have sunk so
low that the three paid en-
ployes Of the board win be placed
on o per diem pay basis.
The District Commissioners
took this step on the basis Of a
report from the Department Of
Occupations and Professions that
showed the boxing commission
is having a deficit for the sixth
straight year.
SIS for Work Day.
The city heads decided to take
the commissions secretary out
of grade status in which she was
receiving $500 a year and to
pay her $25 per working day. The
honorariums Of the two paid
commission members will be re-
duced from the present $3,476
each to a $25-per-day payment
for days actually employed in
their official capacity. These
two members. moreover, may
make no more than $500 each
per year on this per diem pay
basis.
Col. Harvey l.. Miller and DR..
Joseph S. Trigg are the two paid
commissioners. Metropolitan Po-
lice Inspector John j. Agnew is
the third member.
The small number of boxing
events in Washington in recent
years has caused the chronic de-
fciency in funds, the Commits
sioners were told. In fiscal 1858,
the commission received only $3,-
471 in fees from boxing shows,
while its operating expense to-
tailed $23.231.
New Deficit Shapes Up.
In the year ended last June
80, the deficit was a little less,
with receipts of $500 and dis
pursements of $4,000. This year
appears to be headed for another
deficit, with only three boxing
shows having been held since
last June, producing receipts of
$2.442 to meet expenses.
Robert F. Cogswell, director
Of the occupation-professio
agency, said another deficit
year for the boxing commission
may lead to congressional criiti-
cism of the department and the
Board of District Commissioners.

manent authority to operate over
these routes.

Kentucky Governor Loses Wrestling Match With Alligator at State Fair

LOUISVILLE, Ky, R - A downright disrespectful alligator taught Gov. Lawrence Wetherby a lesson:
 It's easier to Wrestle with pol itics than reptiles.
 The governor was attending the Kentucky State Fair yesterday when he was invited to go one round with the 20-year- old, 8-foot 175-pound critter, a feature of the water show.
 After noting that the reptiles mouth was tied, Wetherby grab bed it under the chin and twist ed. The alligator did a somer- sault, landed on its belly and began flashing out with its long tail. Forsaking dignity, the gov ernr jumped.
 And he leaped again when the critter let fly with a second swing.
 That ended the performance for the governor, who decided he'd rather drive an ostrich. He did that last year at the fair.

American Scientist Speculates On Type Of Weapon Exploded

WASHINGTON, R-Dr. Ralph Lapp, an atomic scientist, specu- lated today that Russia may have exploded an atomic warhead de signed for use in airplane cannon, ,antiaircraft guns or field artillery pieces.
 Lapp, though not now con- nected with the government at omic program, worked on the Manhattan project which pro duced the first American A-bomb.
 He told a reporter that still an- other possible interpretation of Russia's announcement last night that it had conducted a new atomic test is this:
 Soviet weapon experts may have been studying the effects on buildings and other structures ''to see what structures would be needed as defense against any hydrogen bomb attack"
 But Lapp said he considered 1t more likely that the Soviets were trying out "a series of warheads for air-to-air use or ground-to- missiles to be used in shooting down strategic bombers."
