IN COLLAPSE AS TRIAL DAY ENDS San Francisco, Nov. 29 U.R) Prosecution attorneys prepared to conclude their case today in the murder trial of Mrs. Annie Irene Mansfeldt, 48, who was carried unconscious from the courtroom late yesterday after collapsing in public for the fifth time since she fatally shot Mrs Vada Martin eight weeks ago. Mrs. Mansfeldt, who lias lost 80 pounds since the shooting, fell from her chair as Assistant District Attorney Norman Elk' ington read a half-incoherent statement she made to police shortly after killing the woman jhe feared was a rival for her late husband's affections. Slumps To Floor Elkington had reached a point in her statement, the last of what police said were four sep arate confessions to the shoot ing, in which Mrs. Mansfeldt told of visiting Dr. Milton Len non, a psychiatrist, and begging that "he do something to help me" when high-strung Mrs. Fans feldt slumped to the floor, her face discolored. Chief Defense Attorney Vin cent Hallinan announced Mrs. Mansfeldt would later' "tell her own story in her own way if she has to be carried to and from the witness stand a thousand times." Earlier Lennon testified as a VVapcRub Mansfeldt, a regular patient, had told him on Sept. 28 six days before the shooting that she "felt as if she Were going to shoot somebody." "She appeared in very great distress," he said. Lennon said Mrs. Mansfeldt had told him of worrying over me health of her husband, Dr. John H. Mansfeldt, who took his own life shortly after the shoot ing, and of finding Mrs. Martin it. his car. Three days later, Lennon said, she returned "and seemed quite calm and collected and said she was not going to shoot anyone." The psychiatrist said he had known Mrs. Mansfeldt aj a gift ed well-read "psychoneurotic" young woman prior to her mar riage 25 years ago. He said she had been hos pitalized for "nervousness" but "at that time she was not psy chotic." Earlier Chief Warrant Officer Wilbur L. Martin, husband of the slain woman, wept openly as he said he would be "very disappointed" if Mrs. Mansfeldt is cleared of the "murder of his wife. Superior Judge Edward Murphy sustained a defense ob jection against use of the word "murder" and did not allow in troduction of a photograph of Mrs. Martin's body into evidence lest it "inflame the Jury. Martin and Hallinan clashed repeatedly during Martin's cross examination. Gordon Will Hunt In Southern Oregon Eugene, Ore.

US T EFFORT TO REVISE Washington, Nov. 29 (U.R) President Truman announced to day that this government has taken steps to revise the Pots dam declaration with a view to remedying difficulties in the four-power control of Germany. At the same time Mr. Truman said in answer to news confer ence questions that if the United Nations Organization operates like it should, there would De no need in the future for meetings of the Big Three or any otner type of special, top-level, Inter national conferences. The president said that it was these special conferences that ruined the League of Nations. He said he opposed them for that reason, preferring instead to see UNO do its job. Overhaul Urged , A basic overhaul of U. S. poli cies in Germany was recom mended yesterday by Bron Price, former censorship director who recently concluded an in vestigative mission in Germany for the president. Price in his report' complained about the system under which one of the four powers on the control commission by a single dissenting vote could veto epila tions of the council. He blamed France for obstruction of the operation of Germany as an eco nomic unit. This veto situation, the pres ident said, is one of the things being discussed by this govern ment in its efforts to have at least some portions of the Pots dam declaration changed.

(U.R) Boat swain's Mate 2-C Robert Bruce Cruzen of Laramie learned the real meaning of "monkey bus! ness" when the ship on which he served picked up 300 of the creatures in India to be brought to the States for experimental purposes. Fourteen of the monkeys died during the long trip. Each time it was necessary to open the cage and take out the body. That was what the others had been looking for, and they all escaped. All the animals were rounded up by a weary crew after con siderable time. Meanwhile, the monks"- had been tearing things up in general on the ship.

Y. -JU.B Ex tensive use of the "lie detector' in business and industry is pre dicted. Dr. T. Kenneth Berrien, Col gate university psychologist and long-time consultant on the poly graph, foresees a prominent role for the machine in the mn'ual protection of both emplojers and employees as well as in crime detection. Dr. Berrien points out that surveys have revealed as many as 75 per cent of the employees- of some hotels, stores, banks and filling stations pilfer sizable amounts of cash or merchandise Lloyds of London already have endorsed the polygraph and are offering 10 per cent bond pre mium reductions to employers who have their workers tested at regular intervals, he says. Asserting that but for public and police misunderstanding the "lie detector" would already be in wider use, Dr. Berrien says "to much has been expected of the polygraph in the hands of unskilled operators." "I think it safe to say, how ever," he adds, "that it will be used extensively not only in crime dectection but also for the mutual protection of employee and employer as techniques are perfected and operators trained."

Cold Weather Care For Animals Told By Humane Society Information regarding the proper feeding and care of ani mals during the present cold weather were issued today by the Southern Oregon Humane society. "All animals need additional feed during especially cold weather and state laws specifi cally state that all animals must be properly sheltered and they must not be tethered without shelter during cold weather," the society points out. "Stock owners know that since stock is especially valuable at this time, there is absolutely no ex cuse for not giving all stock the best of care. "Native birds are also apt to suffer during weather like the present and the society urges residents of the county to put out scraps, crumbs and chick feed for them. "Oregon law also prohibits the abandonment of animals," the report concludes. ! There are many veterans of World War II who lost an arm or a leg in battle.
