DOCTOR CONFRONTED The long-awaited
dramatic climax of the Sheppard murder trial
in Cleveland came when Dr. Sam was con
fronted in -'court by hi paramour Susan :
Hayes. She testified to having had intimate
relations with him on several occasions. This
on-the-spot sketch by NEA artist Ed Kudlaty.
shows the tense courtroom scene. Susan, on
the stand, never looked at her onetime lover.
But "Sam (second -from left) stared at her
grimly, made' frequent notes. Defense attor
neys" are on left side of table. Prosecutor an.d
staff are at right.'

From Commons Censure Motion
London (U.R) Prime Min
ister Winston Churchill appeared
safe from censure today on his
"Germans versus Russians
speech, but one , of. London's
biggest newspapers - demanded
to know if he would "stay in
power until he drops down
dead." - -
Churchill confessed in the
House of Commons Wednesday
that his memory may have
failed him last week when he
caid in a speech lie had ordered
captured guns, "be stacked for
use by the defeated Germans
against the: Russians in -1945

New Follies theater following
a gunfight with, four police of

"We don't like this kind of

Compromise

Members of the Jackson coun
ty court are. expected to sign an
order tomorrow setting a date
Grandview water district, .north
east of the Medford 'city limits,
A compromise , on the .bound
aries of the proposed district
was reached at a hearing in the

duced against Churchill in Com
mons. The Xaborites seemed con
tent not to press their advantage
after hearing the Prime Minis
ter's remarkable expression of
"regrets." -'
But the London Daily Mirror
which has a circulation of 4,-
500,000, followed up Churchill's
apology with one of the fiercest
attacks by any British news
paper in years against a prime
minister.
"Sir Winston Churchill has'
turned rejoicing over his 80th
birthday to alarm and dismay
about his. failing powers," the
Mirror, said. "What a tragedy
that this man whose noble career
was spent in the service of his
country should be reduced to
such farcial performance in the
House of Commons."
"How can our affairs be left
any longer in the hands of a
man whose memory fails him on
vital lsues? " the Mirror asked. ;
Newspaper Attacked
,: The Mirror spoke of Conserva
tive newspapers which defended
him. and asked, "Are they now
going' to tell us yet again that
Churchill .should stay in power
until he'drops down dead?
The middle of the road Times,
the, Laborite Daily. Herald and
the Communist Daily Worker
also attacked Churchill but did
not mention his age. . .
.The Conservative Daily Tele
graph defended him and. said
that former prime minister Cle
ment Attlee used Japanese
troops the same year in Indo
nesia to fight local rebe.1 bands
which were mainly Communist
controlled. : ' r x '

Joseph McCarthy. , '
Iff" a-speech-on- the Senate
floor, the -Republican senator,
who lost his seat, in. the. recent
election, said that a censure vote
would trample upon 'individual
liberty, freedom and spedch."
Cordon, who did not" vote,
yesterday on the first censure
roll call,' said "We are" more
sinners than saints in this body."
r riuaei aaia i a txisi
"Our individual frailties and
derelictions may vary, but they
exist. And they ill fit us, I sub
mit, to . don judicial robes and
adopt today standards upon
which ,, to censure yesterday's
actions."
The Oregon lawmaker didn't
mention McCarthy by name, nor
did he refer to the action of the
six-man Senate committee which
recommended that the. Wiscon
sin senator be rebuked. '
. "Individual r liberty, freedom
of speech the freedom to speak
words which we - hate, if you
please grow daily less in this
harried, confused and chaotic
world," Cordon said. "In this
matter I shall act to further the
cause of liberty;, not to restrict
it. I shall be generous rather
than'chance being unjust; I shall
vote against censure."
No Material Effect Seen - ,
- Cordon, whose term expires
Jan. 3, said "I doubt that my
contribution will be of any ma
terial effect" and he warned that
there could be no control over
the 'effect, of what the Senate
does now on actions taken- in
future years.

St. Louis (U.R) Frank G.

lenge to the congressional trans
fer of jurisdiction over-the Ore

Judge Holtzoff, said he would
hear arguments sometime today
on a formal petition to "deter
mine whether- there is a consti
tutional question warranting a
special court session to view the
case. ' ' . ' '
The county contends the
transfer, from the Bureau of
Land Management to the Agri
culture Department, of the 472,
000 acres of Oregon timberland
involved is unconstitutional. The
county said the transfer violates
Oregon's sovereign rights as a
state and deprives it of land
without due process. 4

had "mentioned" but not formal
ly requested that a three-judge
court hear the question of con
stiutionality. . . . , - v
McKevitt ! said that if Holt
zoff, after today's hearing,
should hold there is insufficient
constitutional question to war
rant a special court, it would
amount to dismissal of the coun

The county would be expect
ed to appeal such a ruling.

Death Aim
Cleveland (U.R) Dr. Samuel
H. Sheppard's defense got its
case underway in his wife-slay-ing
trial today with the claim
that the real killer was bent on
disfiguring not murdering
pretty Marilyn-Sheppard.
It was a theory based on med
ical evidence, of which William
J. Corrigan, chief defense strate
lst, is a master. He will contend
the state cannot produce a reason
why the husband would de
liberately try to' disfigure the
face of his wife of nine years. -
Corrigan said Mrs. Sheppard
was killed by blood that flooded
her lungs not by'a bludgeoning
on the head and face. ,
