Barker was asked by his attor ney whether there had been any change in the attitude of 9-year-old Timothy and Gregory toward him since he left the couple's home last July 17. "They have' been quite silent to ward me." Barker replied, "but they did tell me that a man who had called at the house to see their mother had been .Introduced to them as 'Mr. Magic' Children Reply "And when I asked who this man might be, they said: 'his name is Howard Hughes, and he said he was going to take ua for an air plane ride, but mother said we should not tell you his name. The Hughes referred to was not further identified in Barker's testi mony. However, Miss Hayward said on the stand afterward that Hughes, KKO studio production chief, had called to take her out Earlier Miss Hayward wept aft er testifying that Barker once beat her and tossed her into a 'swim ming pool. . . The swimming pool incident, she said, took place the night of last July 16-17.

Clad la' Bathrobe At the time she was clad only in a.terry cloth bathrobe, the actress said, explaining: "I sleep in the raw." The robe became so heavy with water that she discarded it, and when she managed to get out of the pool he marched her to her room in the nude, Miss Hayward testified. It was at this point in her testimony that she broke down. Brain Wash Blamed for Confession WASHINGTON tfl Col. Frank H. Schwable said in a statement introduced at Marine Corps Court of Inquiry Thursday that he signed a fake germ warfare confession after a Red brain washing had reduced him to feeling like an ani mal in the aoo.

Goforth. general chairman of the fund campaign, and whether all these services will continue depends on the outcome of the campaign slated to get under way Monday. . A prelude to the fund drive will be a panel discussion by Red Cross leaders at 3 p.m. to day over Station KGAE when questions submitted by listeners concerning the Red Cross will be answered, Goforth said. Nursing Instruction ' Services of the local chapter include instruction in home nursing, water safety and first aid, the general chairman said. Eighteen instructors are now available for home nursing in struction which is receiving em phasis in the Civilian : Defense program, Goforth pointed out, and many of these instructors were trained - during the past year. Lack of Instructors Lack of Instructors in first aid last year limited that phase of the Red Cross program but during the year 60 instructors were trained, 24 classes conduct ed and 377 certificates Issued, he said. The increased number of instructors will make pos sible more classes this year. Go- forth said, if the campaign goal of $49,000 is achieved. The water safety program, the annual learn-to-swim classes held each summer with volunteer workers, trained 10 instructors during 1953 and 308 students re ceived swimming certificates, he revealed. This number includes advanced students as well as basic swimming students. Study Set on Forest Access Road Building . WASHINGTON tfl Rep. Ells worth (R Ore) said Thursday Budget Director Dodge has agreed to put technical aides to work studying his bill to finance forest access road construction. He made the statement after conference in which he said Dodge "appeared to like the general idea" of the legislation. , The bill would set op a five-year 125 million dollar' construction pro gram which would permit the har vest of the maximum allowable annual cut from the nation's for. ests. ' The allowable cut is 6,600,000,000 board feet Present annual har vests are less than S billion. In creased revenues from the higher cut Ellsworth said, would return some 30 million dollars each year to the federal treasury. Concedes Need The congressman said that while Dodge conceded the need for in creased forest access road con struction he objected to provisions of the bill to finance the program by treasury loans to the Forest Service. Such loans, not to exceed 25 mil lion dollars annually, would be made upon certification that the roads are needed and that sale of timber, to be . made accessible by them would be sufficient to re pay -the construction cost Agrees t Amendment Ellsworth said Dodge indicated he felt such a mandatory financ ing provision could not be sup ported in view of efforts to keep within the nation's debt ceiling. To meet this objection, Ells worth said he agreed to amend thebQl to require . congressional approval of the appropriation. The smallest bones of the hu man body are those three in number located in the middle ear. .

Completely Convincing EJizað Winship played the exhausting role of Electra with complete conviction. The daugh ter of slain Agamemnon, obsessed by revenge for his death, Electra vents hate for her mother, Cly- temnstra, scorn of her sister Chrysothemis and finally love for her brother Orestes through al most two hours of violence and passion. Her. performance of the role is' certainly of professional calibre. Carl Ritchey as the brother, Clarine Woolery as the sister, Sheila Ryan Laue as the mother and Bruce Fountain as the old Guardian are excellent In their difficult though less prolonged appearances on the stage. Cly- temnestra especially, must return her daughter's hate with equal Woodroffe's San Shop, Eatery, Sold to Couple Woodroffe's San Shop, the big drive-In restaurant on Portland Road, was sold to Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Kregal, Portland.

The Kregals' son, who has been working for a Port land restaurant is expected to come into the business here af ter his military service. Parties to the j deal did not disclose how much money changed hands, because of the extensive personal and real prop erty which figured in the trans action. Both parties were rep resented by N. G.
