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.

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.

Ca?go Of Monkeys
Causes Bad Time
Laramie, Wyo. (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.

LIE DETECTOR TO
HAVE EXTENSIVE
USE FOR FUTURE
Hamilton, N. 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. These veter
ans will need to learn new
trades that your Victory Bond
purchases will help make possible.
