from a high wire and save her
life.
"I saw her foot miss a ring,"
Alvin Schwartz said Saturday
in describing the hair-tingling
incident in the winter circus life
here. "My first and only thought
was to get under her and block
her falL"

lass from Southport, England,

"It was one of those slip-ups,
you know . . . my first dangerous
one," she said with a pronounced
British accent.
Schwartz, a 26-year-old acro
batic clown, said he was stand
ing nearby looking up.
"I quickly threw my back and
shoulders forward to break her
fall," he said. "Her hips and
legs smashed into my back. The
blow of her body knocked me
unconscious for a minute or two.
She glanced off my back and
hit the floor." ;
Both were taken to a hospital.
He suffered two broken ribs but
the dimpled brunette suffered
only bruises. She was released
after spending the night in the
hospital under observation
"Al almost caught me," the
blue-eyed aerialist said in a tone
of thanksgiving.
Similar Accident
Schwartz, only three inches
shorter than the five-foot-two
ballet performer, said he had
never seen any such fall broken
before but he recalled that a
clown suffered a broken back
only two years ago in a similar
accident. He said the girl falling
was not Injured.
Schwartz, who said he was on
the Milton Berle television show
in New York before joining the
circus in 1949, admitted he and
Miss Rimmer were "quite good
friends
"We have gone out -a lot on
dates since we met in 1951," he
said. "But there's really nothing
serious.
They plan to leave with part
of the circus next Tuesday as
scheduled for a four-week stand
in Havana, Cuba.

Carnival Wrestler
Admits Slaying of
'Too Pious' Woman
Everett, Wash. U.R) A
part-time carnival wrestler and
dishwasher Friday told police he
strangled-a comely young Sun
day school teacher because she
was "too pious."
Earl C. Runyon, 35, said he
killed Mrs. Violet Mae Williams,
26, a divorcee, shortly after she
had kissed her children, a six-year-old
boy and seven-year-old
girl, and sent them off to Bible
school. ... ' -
He said the woman, whom he
had been courting, 'refused to
join him in a . scheme to steal
welfare checks from the mails.
"Too Pious"
"She was too pious," he told
police and a score of newsmen.
He said he choked her to death
while she prayed for mercy.
She tried to talk me out of the
idea of stealing the checks," he
said.
Runyon said he also planned
to kill the woman's mother, Mrs.
Betty Orr, and Mrs. Williams'
former husband, Harland Wil
liams. But he got to drinking
and "just never got around" to
the other two killings.
Surrender Accident
His surrender " to Detective
Capt. Jack Johnson was some
thing of 'an accident, Runyon
said. He thought he was wanted
for a parole violation and blurt
ed out the story of the slaying
while talking to Johnson. Last
Saturday he said the motive was
jealousy.
Runyon, a former convict who
had served time in Washington's
and Oregon's state penitentiar
ies, and in. the Washington state
reformatory, said he boxed and
wrestled in carnivals between
prison terms .
Northwest's Wheat
Quality Said Low
Spokane (U.R) - Northwest
wheat farmers are raising too
much wheat that is not of good
quality - because it yields more
bushels per acre than does better
quality wheat, a state farm
leader said Friday.
Archie M. Camp, chairman of
the , state agricultural stabiliza
tion and conservation committee,
said raising poor quality wheat
was one of the factors account
ing for a decline in foreign de
mand for U. S. wheat.
He also suggested a lower
support price , on wheat might
force some marginal land out
of production. That, he added,
would "give " farmers a better
price without such extensive
use of subsidies. '

State's Circuit
Judges Draw Up
Rules for Court
Portland (U.R) Oregon Cir
cuit Judges drew up 20 "stand
ards of conduct" for the state's
judges and lawyers at the close
of their annual, meeting here
Saturday.
Despite some opposition from
jurists one of whom thought the
Standards were "rules for a
bunch of school kids," the
judges voted them in. . '.
Setting a new precedent, the
Judges association decided that
robes should be worn "in the
circuit court to add dignity. They
said they will also demand that
lawyers and court officers wear
suit coats.
Impressive Ceremony ,
Swearing in witnesses shall be
an impressive ceremony, they
said. They decided not to call
upon a witness to repeat the
oath while being sworn in. Use
of the Bible was also ruled out
because the judges felt that some
witnesses might not be christians
or might be athiests.
Opening of the court shall be
strictly formal, with at least the
rapping of the gavel by the bail
iff when the judge enters the
courtroom, the association de
cided. Another Innovation will be
the display of the United States
and Oregon state' flags close to
the judge's bench.
Lawyers Must Stand
Examining the cpnduct of law
yers, the judges voted' they
should rise and remain standing
when addressing the court of the
jury. They shall not lean on
the judge's bench or be confiden
tial with him. Lawyers from now
on must remain at the. counsel
table when examining witnesses.
Guest speaker at the conclu
sion of the association's meeting
was Chief Justice Earl C. Latour
ette of the State Supreme court.
He told judges that the new
system of using pro-tem judges
has helped clean up a backlog of
cases and has cost the state $40,
000. .
Judge Howard K. Zimmer
man of Astoria was elected new
president of the association.
The three first U.S. patent
examiners were listed on the
records as Thomas Jefferson,
Henry Knox," and Edmond Ran
dolph the records show.
of the North Pacific Grain Grow
ers association, said a new law
governing export sales may re
sult in more sales of northwest
wheat to the Orient. He made
his statements Friday to the agri
culture bureau of the Chamber
of Commerce.
Sea Our Assortment of
Lundeberg Bolts
Meeting Following
Refusal of Demands
San Francisco (U.R) Harry
Lundeberg, head of the West
Coast sailors, bolted a meeting
Friday after officials of the Pa
cific Maritime Association re
fused to accept his demands for
ending the 44-day-old dispute
over unloading the freighter Pa
cificus at San Pedro.
Lundeberg demanded that
PMA demonstrate its "good
faith" by agreeing to all the sail
ors to work any hatch except
No. 3 the next time the Paci
ficus pulls into San Pedro Har
bor. -
PMA called the demand unac
ceptable, pointing out that it
would mean the sailors, instead
of the ship operators, would be
running the Pacificus.'
"The show is on," Lundeberg
answered, and stalked out of the
meeting.
PMA interpreted this as notice
the tieup of unloading operations
would continue aboard the Pac
ificus, which arrived in San
Pedro Harbor Oct. 28 and still
has her cargo in her holds.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for
the International Longshore
men's and Warehousemen's
Union here said a longshore crew
would be on hand when the Paci
ficus came out of drydock. Her
release from drydock, originally
scheduled for yesterday, was de
ferred until Monday.
Objected to Unloading
The dispute began when long
shoremen objected to the sailors'
unloading the No. 4 hold, which
the ILWU claimed was theirs un
der the "status quo", in San
Pedro. v
Longshoremen have unloaded
all Pacificus holds in San Pedro
Harbor except No. 3 since 1950.
However, ship operators assigned
No. 4 to the sailors Oct. 28 since
No. 3 contained cargo that was
not to be unloaded.
The longshbremen objected
and refused to work. When they
were reassigned No. 3, the sail
ors then refused to work and
ordered the ship's firemen -to
shut off the steam.
