Charge Of Assault On
Baby Sitter Dismissed
Chief of Police Calvin Balrd
reported today that the case of
tne state or uregon vs. wuuam
Flock, charged with assault with
Intent to commit rape, has been
dismissed by order of the dis
trict attorney.
The reason for dismissal, Balrd
said, was that the parents of the
12-year-old baby sitter involved
in the case refused to permit
her to testify or have any part
in the case.
The parents, according to
Balrd, signed affidavits at the
request of the district attorney,
stating their refusal to permit
the girl to appear in court. With
out the girl as the principal pro
secuting witness, the state had
no case, said Baird.
Flock was arrested by city po
lice, who were summoned by
neighbors after hearing the girl's
screams.

'Against World'
JERUSALEM, (IF) Israel's

to Internationalize Jerusalem has
aligned the young Hebrew state
"against the whole world," Is
raeli Premier David Ben-Gurion
says.
The premier moved his mini-
strv to the Jewish-occiioled sec-
tion of Jerusalem. It was the last
of seven government departments
to betransferred from Tel Aviv
in a tactic in which Ben-Gurion
so far has avoided outright proc
lamation of the Holy City as Is-
raelrs political capital.
Only the ministers of foreign
affars and defense remained In
Tel Aviv, to avoid any issue if
some foreign ambassadqrs should
refuse to move to Jerusalem.
Accepting the freedom of the
citv from Jerusalem's mayor Dan
iel Auster, Ben-Gurjon said his
nation had "entered upon the
greatest political struggle in the
history ot our people.
Mt has only just begun," he de
clared. "Who knows how it will
end, how great the price we may
have to pay? Uur only weapon
Is historic justice. It is the same
justice on wnitn we nave re
lied throughout the years."
