Plural Marriages Of Utah Mormons
Are Upheld By Defending Attorney
Washington, Nov. Sfli.B
The supreme court today was
told by an attorney defending
nine Utah citizens that if plural
marriage is held to be prostitu
tion and debauchery, it will cast
aspersion on the "blood of half
the people of Utah
Holding up a Mormon Bible
for the justices to see, the attor
ney Claude T. Barnes, declar
ed: "By no strength of the imag
ination can you apply the white
slave act to the actions of these
peoole."
Barnes argued on behalf of
eight men and one woman who
are members of a Mormon fun
damentalist cult which believes
in plural or "celestial marriage."
The group was convicted in
the U. S. district court for Utah
under the Mann act and the
Lindberg kidnaping law. The
supreme court agreed to review
the convictions after they were
upheld by the 10th circuit court
of anneals.
Harold Judson. acting U. S.
solicitor general, asserted that
the plural marriage situation
had become a "national scanaai
with which Utah was unable to
cooe.
He Insisted that only about
two per cent of the Mormon
faith had engaged in the prac
tice of plural marriage and that
the fundamentalist cult was the
only branch which believed in
more than one marriage at a
time.

Ever hear of a
Bui.t-.n-SmEle?
When It's a smiling and a
gracious day soft and sunny
and color-filled it's easy to
feel on top of the world. But
when frowning skies glower at
a gray world, it's no trick at all
to feel down in the dumps.
Yes, sir everyone reflects
the world around him. Every
one likes smiling skies . . . smil
ing people. ..smiling surround
ings. That's why we have pro
duced at our El Segundo Refin
ery a machine shop that is more
than a mechanical marvel. It's a
workshop with a built-in-smile.
And practically, forsooth, in
technicolor!
Color dynamics is the ex
perts' term for the way we've
used soft and pleasing shades.
They're just as pretty as any
thing you see through rose
colored glasses and much
more varied. Everywhere are
colors that rest the eye and
soothe the spirit thereby pro
moting cheerfulness . . . health
. . vigor . . . joy-of-living. They
take the irk out of work.
And color accents are used
to promote safety. Mobile units
are decked in bright colors that
catch the eye. It's the modern
development of color in a safety
role first assigned it when red
came to mean "Stop-Danger!"
and green first said" Go Ahead."
The bullt-ln-smlle of color
dynamics is partly the outcome
of wartime lessons in camou
flage turned inside out. In
seeking to fool the eye, re
searchers learned many ways to
please it. So some things about
this progressive step are very
new. Not new, however, is the
desire it expresses our desire
always to show progress on be
half of our people. That goes
suay back.

Swiss Starts Out
For. Global Jaunt
In Small Sailboat
London U.P.) After a long
struggle with the authorities to
get the necessary permits to
leave England, Hans De Meiss
Teufenn, a 34-year-old Swiss, has
started out alone in his 23-foot
sailboat, "Speranza," on a voy
age which he hopes will take
him around the world.
However, Teufenn was allow
ed to take only $40 out of the
country, and to supplement this
he will write articles and photo
graph scenes during the voyoge.
He plans to go, without petrol,
from Southampton to Lisbon on
a wide tack out into the Atlan
tic, then to Casablanca and the
Canary islands and from there
to the West Indies. He expects
the last part to be the real test.
From the West Indies, Teufenn
would like to go to New York,
then try the hazardous trip
around the Horn. During the
voyage the "Specranza" will fly
the Swiss flag.
His yacht has sleeping accom
modations for three, but Teufenn
prefers to sail alone. A "Ber
muda Rig" keeps his boat on
the course while he sleeps.

New-Car Drivers
Cause of Hike In
California Wrecks
Sacramento, Cal. (U.R) It isn't
the worn-out jalopy that is
causing a postwar increase in
California traffic accidents, but
the driver of the late model car
who is "lulled into a feeling of
security," state motor vehicle
officials believe.
The Department of Motor
Vehicles says that replacement
of cars worn out by wartime
driving apparently will not cut
down accidents because statis
tics show that the majority of
cars Involved In accidents are
late models.
"It appears," the department
said, "that the drivers of defec
tive cars drive carefully, and
therefore slowly to compensate
for whatever defects are pres
ent. It is the driver of the new
car, stimulated by the smooth
ness and ease of operation, and
lulled into a feeling of security
by the excellence of its condi
tion, who is most likely to over
reach himself and precipitate an
accident.
"The rule still holds that the
defects which cause accidents
are in the drivers rather than
in the cars." '
