(U.R) A doctor who examined
Mrs. Abbie C. Borroto before Dr.
Hermann N. Sander injected air
into her veins could detect no
heart action with his stethoscope,
it was testified today.
The prosecution's sixth wit
ness, Mis Elizabeth Rose, 24,

Borroto's life.
Dr. Sander in the death certi
ficate had said his patient died

cember 4. But on her record he
noted that he had injected 40
cubic centimeters of air, and

Miss Rose, reading from her
"bedside notes." said that at 11
a.m. she was "unable to get a
pulse" from Mrs. Borroto. She

Miss Rose wrote the patient was
given an alcohol rub. She told

She said when she could not
get a pulse, she asked the aide
to try and the aide said she also
found no pulse.
"I started to leave the room."
Miss Rose testified. "I encoun
tered Dr. Snay. 1 asked him to
come in and check the patient
for me."
"Did he take her pulse?" asked
Phinney.
"Yes. He said he couldn't get
any." said Miss Rose.
"Did he ask for a stethoscope "
"Yes."
Phinney asked what Dr. Snay
' said he heard after he had used
the stethoscope,
i "He said he heard nothing,''
replied Miss Rose.

CONTRACT
S
Less than an hour later, the
trial was recessed abruptly un
til 1:45 p.m. (EST), at the gov
ernment's request. The reason
given was that the government
wanted to call as its first wit
ness UMW Secretary-Treasurer
John Owens, who, at the mo
ment, was resuming contract ne
gotiations with coal industry rep
resentatives. The union went to trial before
Federal Judge Richmond B.
Keech on civil and criminal con
tempt of court charges growing
out of the refusal of 372,000
striking soft coal miners to obey
two back-to-work orders issued
by Keech under the Taft-Hartley
law.
President Truman discussed
the coal situation at a weekly
meeting with his congressional
leaders. Senate Democratic Lead
er Scott W. Lucas of Illinois said
the question of government seiz
ure of the mines did not come up
at the White House conference.
The nation's economic crisis
deepened hourly. With more
than 150.000 industrial work
ers already idled, U. S. Steel
corporation announced that the
coal shortage will force a sharp
cut this week in operations at
its Pittsburgh district mills. Oth
er steel mills and automobile
plants already were closed or
their production curtailed. Some
schools were closed. Railroads
reduced coal-burning passenger
train service. And many states
and cities already had taken
emergency conservation meas
ures. The union's contempt trial
opened with Keech denying the
UMW's motion for dismissal of
the contempt charges. UMW
Counsel Welly K. Hopkins then
entered not guilty pleas for the
union.
In moving for dismissal of the
contempt charges, Hopkins cited
the arguments made in the un
ion's formal answer to the
charges last Friday. The union
argued then that the miners
individually are staying away
from work and that the union
is not responsible for their re
fusal to obey the court order.

TRIBUNE
GONT
Detention Home
Need Cited By
Juvenile Officer
The -county's need for a juve
nile (detention home became
more apparent today when city
police took into custody a nine-
year-old child accused of burg
lary and arson, according to
County Juvenile Officer John
Richard, who is handling the
case. Richard said the boy had
to be placed in the county jail,
under special care, for several
hours last night because no oth
er facility was available. State
law specifically forbids deten
tion of children under 14 in
jails, but the juvenile court had
no other recourse.
'Direct Cause'
Richard pointed out this morn
ing that the lack of a detention
home for delinquent or depend
ent children is a direct cause of
the boy's difficulty. The child of
a broken and neglectful home,
the boy was first taken into cus
tody by Richard last week when
he was reported as a runaway.
The juvenile officer said he
should have been placed in a
home at that time until his case
was disposed of by the court but
no facility was available.
He was returned to his home
where further neglect led to fur
ther trouble, Richard said. The
boy is apparently not a criminal
type nor a chronic delinquent
but a child without a home life
or adequate family ties.
Another Case Cited
In addition to the need for a
home for delinquents, there Is
also an urgent need for a facility
for dependent children, Richard
said, and in this regard he cited
the recent case of three flagrant-
ly neglected children, all ifndor
11 years of age, who were tak
en, from their home when they
were found to require immedi
ate medical care. The oldest girl
was suffering from acute appen
dicitis when the case first came
to the attention of the Juvenile
authorities. An emergency oper
ation was performed. Another
child In the family was on the
verge of pneumonia when he ap
peared in juvenile court and the
third child was suffering from
the effects of malnutrition and
lack of care.
Bed care in an adequate home
was obviously railed for but was
not available for several days.
and Richard said their home had
I been
without lights, water or
because the father had
heat
grown delinquent In utility
payments.
Jail Not Answer
Out of necessity these cases,
and "dozens like them." Richard
said, are referred to the welfare
commission, although that office
has no nroper jurisdiction over
them. Some families have
thrown onen their homes for
some children that have become
wards of the court, but the need
has not been allayed, he said. A
home for temporary detention Is
required In Instances where chil
dren are taken from their par
ents until the court can dispose
of their cases permanently, and

Members of the board of di

record as opposing a county fair
here this year, at the monthly
meeting of the group last week
end. It was pointed out that the de

to current expenses of operating
a fair, a very substantial amount
of money would be required to
put the present physical plant
at the fairgrounds into condi

Long Friendship
The friendship between Rath
borne and Bridges dated back to
the days of the San Francisco
waterfront strike of 1934, which
saw Bridges rise to power as
president of the CIO Internation
al Longshoremen's and ' Ware
housemen's union. But Bridges
testified last week during his 10-
day marathon stint on the stand
that he and Rathborne had a fall
ing out.
Bridges called Rathborne a
drunkard, an embezzler, a union-
buster even though Rathborne
once was head of the Bridges de
fense committee.
Rathborne testified before the
grand jury which indicted
Bridges and two other ILWU
officers on charges of perjury
and conspiracy. The other two
defendants are J. R. Robertson
and Hanry Schmidt.
Rathborne figured In a sensa
tional aside to the main trial
when two women were arrested
and charged with trying to in
fluence his testimony by threat
ening to tell his wife he had been
intimate with them.
Mrs. Jean Simmons Murray,
33, and Mrs. Betty Teixeira, 29,
of Sunnyvale, Cal., were In
dicted by a federal grand jury
December 29 and are awaiting
trial on the charge of trying to
influence Rathborne. Rathborne
reportedly told his wife about
Ihe threats and then went to
federal authorities.
Rathborne's appearance on the
witness stand was expected to
prolong the lengthy trial at least
another week or 10 days. The
defense, all along has promised
an all-out cross-examination of
Rathborne If he testified.
