Irving Goodman Portland at torney for the defense, asked each juror: "Would you give credence to to the testimony of the two accus ed that they were outside the state of Washington when this crime was committed?" Later Goodman said the de fense would attempt to show that the brothers were in Oregon at the time. It was reported earlier that the brothers left home the fatal weekend, announcing they would visit their father in Silver ton, Ore. i Police reported, however, that they found a beer bottle bearing Utah's fingerprint at the spot where the girl was abducted. Selection of the jury dragged, and observers doubted that taking of! testimony would start before Wednesday. f. INVESTIGATE NIEMOELLER ; BERLIN, June 12-(P)-Two re cent speeches by the Rev.

June 12 -V The senate voted today to con tinue federal rent controls through 1950 and to give communities . au thority to extend them for another six months beyond that. The bill now goes to the house. Democratic Leader McCormack of Massachusetts said there debate will start tomorrow. House sentiment is generally regarded as closely divided, and a hard fight is certain. House Speaker Rayburn of Texas, how ever, said in advance of the senate action he had assured President Truman the house would approve the measure. The present law is due to expire June 30. f The senate vote on passage was 36 to 28, only 64 senators out of 96 voting. Five democrats voted against it, and six republicans voted for it. The senate bill would retain the present law for six months, or until the end of 1950. In addition, communities which wanted to re tain controls for another six months could do so by referendum action of local governing, bodies. The result of the vote on pas sage was foreshadowed by the senate's 44 to 25 refusal, a few hours earlier, to send the bill back to the banking committee. TORNADO LV DAKOTAS FARGO, N.
