NO. 169. ! V arp SIf Wrigley Field, Chicago, Oct. 8 (U.PJ The Chicago Cubs, taking advantage of an error by Hank Greenberg, evened the world series at three games apiece when they defeated the Detroit Tigers, 8 to 7 in 12 in nings. The tally which sent the rich est series of all time into a sev enth same to be played here Wednesday was scored by little Billy Schuster, a pinch runner when Greenberg let Stan Hack's single go through him. Earlier, Greenberg was the Detroit hero because he hit a home run which sent the game into extra innings. Secory Scoots Home Schuster, running for pinch hitter Frank Secory, who had singled, already had stopped at second But ' when Big Hank failed to come up with the ball, Little Billy tore for home as a dejected Dizzy Trout stomped off the pitcher's mound to the Detroit dugout. There wasn't even a play at the plate and Hack, too, could have scored on the error had another run been necessary. It was a wild ball game with first one team and then the other playing like bush leaguers, lettin.-; in runs and playing like a bunch of sandlotters. Tigers Tie Score For a time it seemed that the Cubs, behind the y.eteran Claude Passeau, were gong to have an easy time of it, for they knocked the Detroit starter, Virgil Trucks, out of the box in a fifth inning rally that netted four runs and gave them a 4 to 1 lead. They increased it to 6 to 1 and then 7 to 3 before Pas seau, suffering from an injured finger, ran out of gas and the Tigers came from behind to tie with four runs in the eighth. By that time there had been a steady parade of pitchers to the mound and finally it was Hank Borowy who won the de cision over Trout.

A state wide hunt is under way for her missing husband, Dr. John H. Mansfeldt. Doctor Takes Own Life Rather Than Face Shame of Wife's Jealous Act San Francisco, Oct. 8 (U.R) The bodies of Dr. John H. Mans feldt, 47, and Mrs. Vada Martin, the young nurse whom his wife killed in trying to force an ad mission of stolen love, awaited burial today. He committed sui cide, rather than face the shame of his wife's action. Mrs. Annie Irene Mansfeldt, 45, paced the floor of her room in the psychopathic .ward of the San Francisco hospital, where she was taken from the city jail. Her red hair was disheveled and her eyes were rimmed from weeping. "I killed him," she cried. "I killed my husband." Mrs. Mansfeldt was charged with murder for the fatal shoot ing last Thursday of the 36-year-old nurse who denied with her TO FACE TRIAL London, Oct. 8 (U.R) Rudolf Hess, former deputy fuehrer of the nazi party who flew to Brit ain on a fantastic mission in 1941, left by plane for Germany today to stand trial as a war criminal. Hess, unkempt and thin, left Madcley air field near Abergav ennv, Wales, for Frankfurt at 8:50 a. m. He was escorted by an army guard. His departure was one of a swift series of events clearing the way for the mass trials of axis war criminals at Nuernberg. Allied officials were conferring at Berlin on plans for the trials, and the first formal indictments were expected to be returned Tuesday or Wednesday. Sir Hartley Shawcross, chief British prosecutor of war crim inals, said at a press conference yesterday that Hess would be in dicted in Germany within a few days. Other ranking nazis named in the first indictment also will be served with notice of their in dictment and given opportunity and facilities to choose counsel, Shawcross said. Francis Biddle, United States member of the war crimes com mission and Judge John Parker, his alternate, arrived at South ampton yesterday aboard the Queen Mary. They flew imme diately to Berlin, where the tri bunal meets tomorrow. 1 23. Passeau 5 in 6 23, Wyse 3 in 2 '3, Benton 1 in 13. Prim 1 in 23, Trout 4 in 4 2, Borowy 3 in 4. Double plays: Mayo-Weib.

Mrs. Mansfeldt had seen her in the doctor's automobile early one morning as the nurse waited to go on a case with him. Mansfeldt's body was found early Sunday in the front scat of his automobile beside a lonely cliff at Pedro Point in San Mateo county. He had not been seen since he dashed from a hospital Thursday after his wife told him what she had done. Police had searched for Mans feldt since Friday night when his wife said she feared he would take his life. The San Mateo county coro ner's office said Mansfeldt had apparently taken a poison which lulled him to sleep and allowed him to die painlessly.

YAMASHITA E OF Trial Adjourned to Oct. 29 After Brief Arraignment of Accused Jap Commander Manila, Oct. 8 (U.R) Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita, last Jap anese commander in the Philip pines, pleaded innocent before an American military tribunal today to charges of responsibility for the rape of Manila and other brutal atrocities. The trial was adjourned until Oct. 29 at 8 a. m after Yama shita's brief arraignment. Despite vigorous protests by the prosecution, the five-general court granted Yamashila's plea to have two former members of his staff, Lt. Gen. Akira Muto and a Major General Utsuno miya, aid in his defense. Yamashila's counsel said both Japanese generals had informa tion and records unavailable to Yamashita but vitally needed in his defense. The prosecutor, MaJ. Robert M. Kerr of Portland, Ore., told the court that both the gen erals were awaiting trials as war criminals themselves. Tiger Docile The Yamashita who docilely uttered his plea in the military court was a far cry from the gen .eral who boasted last October that he would dictate Philippines peace terms to Gen. Douglas MacArthur and who won the nickname "Tiger of Malaya" for his conquest of Singapore. He wore a sort of hanging ex pression as he was led into the court room in the former ball room of the American high com missioner's palace. He scraped and bowed as photographers or dered him around for different poses. With him was his personal in terpreter, Masakatsu Hammomo to, who was graduated from Har vard in 1927. Community Chest Crew Appreciates Easy Collection Community Chest headquar ters workers today wished that all their collections came in with as little effort as that of H. R. Firstbrook, Medford contractor and builder, and his crew. Bright and early Monday morning Mr. Firstbrook call ed at the Chest office in the Chamber building with a check which covered the do nation of himself and all 15 members of his crew, explain ing that "the boys" instructed him to bring it in early and adding that they were all proud of their 100 per cent contribution so early in the drive. speakership, losing after a hot campaign, but won the race at the opening of the 1943 session. It ir pointed out that McAl lister's candidacy would be given weight by the fact that Southern Oregon is unrepresent ed now among state officers. Snell is from Eastern Oregon end Treasurer Scott and Farrell are both from Multnomah coun ty which leaves the well popu lated Southern Oregon district out of the picture. The dopesters are snmmine up his case by con cluding that if he is planning to re-entr the political picture af ter his return from overseas the pr'mane next spring would be a propitious time, regardles" of the "ifs" prevailing at that time. Mrs McAllister and their two children have remained in Med ford during the war. and Mrs. McA'lister is on the staff of Medford junior high school as a nusic teacher. YANKEES LOCATE LOOT GATHERED Armed Guards Posted Over Navy Ministry Baron Shidehara Forms Cabinet Tokyo, Oct. 8 (U.R) Armed guards of the First Cavalry di vision tonight surrounded the Japanese navy ministry after United States officials said evi dence had been discovered lead ing to the belief that hoards of loot from Japan's lost empire might be stored in official gov ernment buildings. A terse announcement said merely U. S. officials had learn ed that "precious metal." pre sumably stolen in Japan's years of military conquest, was in the navy ministry building. May Find More It was reliably reported that more troops may be placed short ly at other Japanese buildings to guard similar hoards. While the amount of treasure involved was not immediately disclosed, it was assumed Gen. Douglas MacArthur's command had discovered evidence of the storage places in records of Jap anese financial institutions order-1 cd seized more than a week ago. Meanwhile, premier designate Baron K i j u ro Shidehara com pleted his "stop gap" cabinet of liberals whose average age is 61. Members will take office tomor row and will serve until next year's elections. Divide on Selections Selection of the cabinet met with mixed reaction from the Japanese. Many political ob servers took the point of view of the newspaper Asahi which pointed out that the 73-year-old Shidehara and his appointees "belong to the category of old timers." However, It was stressed in other quarters that the cabinet lineup was considerably more liberal than the outgoing cabinet of Prince Higashi-Kuni and was the "best possible when restric tions against including govern ment leaders of the past 10 years were considered." T BY FOREST FIRE Nehalem, Ore., Oct. 8 (U.R) Easterly winds whipped up a smoldering blaze in the Neah kahnie mountain state forest to day, carrying the blaze over sev eral hundred acres to threaten highway U. S. 101. Raging in one of Oregon's scenic spots, the flames were speedily stripping the area of all previous scenic beauty.

Laval's trial, the most fantas tic in French history, reopened an hour and a-half behind sched ule after Judge Pierre Mongl beaux and Minister of Justice Henri Teingen tried in vain to induce the former Vichy premier to change his mind and come to court. With Laval defiantly absent and only a few prosecution wit nesses on hand, it appeared that the trial would end by mid-week. Mongibeaux ordered ihe trial to proceed despite a storm of protest against the court proce dure which had seen judge aid Jury taunting Laval and making it clear that they were bent on condemning him. Today's first witness was Gen. Paul Doyen, former head of the French armistice delegation and now military governor of Lyon. Doyen, testifying in a har:,h, parade-ground voice, said that the Germans demanded the an nexation of Alsace-Lorraine nnd made other territorial demands through the armistice commis sion on which he served. "Germany's intention was lo dismember France," he said. "To all Frenchmen who could use their hands, the line of duty was clear to continue the strug gle. Any man who supported a policy of collaboration was a traitor. That was the kind of a man Laval was." Portland, Ore..
