o TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, October 20, 1955 Defense Hammers At Testimony in Axilrod Death Case Minneapolis U.R) The de fense hammered away today at the testimony of a detective cap tain who testified that Dr. A. Arnold Axilrod admitted that he "must have" strangled one of his pretty young patients. Capt. Eugene Bernath was re called to the stand following a day of cross - examination in which he defended himself against charges that he bungled an investigation for clues into the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Mary Moonen, 21. Accused of Strangling Axilrod, a 50-year-old dentist, is accused of strangling Mrs. Moonen April 22 after she had threatened to "tell the world" he made her pregnant. Mrs. Moonen, whose husband was serving with the Army in Korea at the time, was found sprawled in an alley in the fash ionable Lake of the Isles district early April 23. Bernath said Wednesday that he asked Axilrod "if the pathol ogist in this case would say Mary Moonen was strangled to death, what would you say?" No On Else There He quoted the dentist as an swering, "If the pathologist says she was strangled, it must have been me. There was no one else there." Bernath said Axilrod, married and the father of two children, denied he was the father of Mrs Moonen's unborn child and add ed that "I never had intercourse with her up until last night." Defense attorney Sidney Goff fired one sharp question after another at Bernath in an effort to show that he overlooked pos sible evidence that might have deed Axilrod. He criticized Kim particularly for not check ing under each fingernail for scrapings and for not examining her purse.

Interna tional Association of Machinists (AFL) said today Interior Secre tary Douglas McKay refused to recommend arbitration to settle a strike at an automobile agency in Salem, Ore., in which McKay holds stocks.

Back Stairs: Many Want Ike's Business By WARREN DUFFEE United Press Correspondent Denver U.R) Backstairs at the temporary White House: The White House's delay, in announcing a firm decision on where President Eisenhower will spend his convalescent period has started anew wave of guess ing and spurred the faint hopes of half a hundred chambers of commerce here and there. The temporary White House has received a steady stream of feelers and offers, suggesting that Mr. Eisenhower spend the necessary weeks of recuperation after he leaves the hospital at this or that self-styled paradise. The President's farm at Gettys burg, Pa., remains the best bet, but it still is not a certainty. Both the President and Mrs. Eisenhower like the farm, and the first lady has given consid erable thought to going there after the hospitalization period ends here. But the doctors may have the final say-so. If they feel that' a warmer climate is important enough, some other spot may be selected. The decision is especially im portant to such news media as the wire services, radio net works, etc. For them it involves planning and preparation, men, money and equipment. Officers Investigate Six-Year-Old Death Walla Walla (U.R) Sheriff's officers today continued an in vestigation into the death six years ago of Donald McDonald, 18, after discounting theories the youth was gored to death by an elk while hunting. McDonald's body was found by deer hunters in a Blue Moun tain gorge last week. The boy disappeared while elk hunting in December, 1949, and the skeleton of an elk was found with his remains. However, sheriffs deputies to day said a medical examination showed the animal had not been dead as long as the McDonald youth. They said McDonald prob ably died in a fall, or was shot by another hunter.

Newspaper readers who close ly follow the President's daily menus on his 1600 calorie-a-day diet were quick to note that, his customary skimmilk or butter milk was missing from his sup per the other night. But his dieticians had a ready explanation. ' The President was permitted a "small piece of chocolate cake with his meal. It was a low-calorie cake, but the milk had to go to keep his total intake in side the 1600-calorie boundary. CIRCUIT COURT Philena May Ray vs. John Ray, di vorce complaint.

However, reporters covering the temporary White House see increasing signs that a lot of wheels are turning in connection with when and how the Presi det will annouce his decision and who, if anyone, he will en dorse if he steps out of the pic ture. One unheralded visitor yester day was Paul G. Hoffman, head of Studebaker-Packard Corp. and one of the earliest and staunchest backers of Mr. Eisen hower for the presidency. He did not see the President but conferred at length with tight- lipped Sherman Adams, the chief executive's top assistant, at the temporary White House at Lowry Air Force Base. Also in town at the same time was Dr. Milton Eisenhower, the President's youngest brother and one of his most trusted ad visors. The Pennsylvania ' State University president has been suggested in some quarters as a possible presidential candidate himself. ' The White House said flatly that Dr. Eisenhower's visits with the President were purely "fam ily." But he and Hoffman are close friends. They had a session to gether yesterday. . And Milton Eisenhower had another closed door pow-wow with Adams af ter a mid-day visit with the President at Fitzsimmons Army Hospital.
