Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore., Page 4 Fri., Dec. 21, 1151 Actors Agent Gels Subpena ' Lang to Appear At Wanger Trial HOLLYWOOD (U.B Actors Agent Jennings Lang was expect ed to go home Friday or Saturday from a hospital where he was treated for a bullet wound al legedly inflicted by Walter Wanger in a fight over the pro ducer's wife, Joan Bennett. District Attorney S. Ernest Roll lubpenaed the agent Thursday to appear at Wanger's superior court arraignment next Wednesday on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to commit murder. Here Formality The subpena was issued after chief Los Angeies County jail physician Dr. Marcus Graham re. ported that Lang was improving rapidly and was expected to leave Midway Hospital Friday or Satur day. Roll said the subpena was merely a formality to place Lang under legal jurisdiction, and the agent probably would not be forc ed to attend the arraignment. "I want to establish without question the jurisdiction of this office in the case," Roll said. Admits Shooting Lang at first appeared reluctant to tell the story of the shooting, but his attorney, Jake Ehrlich, later told the district attorney the agent would cooperate "fully' with authorities. Lang was shot in the groin in a parking lot across the street from the Beverly Hills police station as he stood talking with Miss Ben nett. Wanger allegedly admitted the shooting to police and said he believed the agent was "threaten ing my home." Oxford Scholars Beaten By Convicts in Debate NORFOLK, Mass.

However, the English students bore no ill will toward their conquerors, two convicts who could be identified only as Bill, 35, and Murdo, 29. "It's one of the nicest things that has happened to us in the United States and we shall always treasude it," Rees Mogg said as he thanked the audience of some COO prisoners for their friendly welcome arid applause. The Englishmen had no reason to feel ashamed of their defeat since it was the 35th victory for the prison colony's debating team in 49 collegiate engagements.
