SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday,. February 3, 1938 Judge Rules Mother Unfit To Care For 3-Year-0ld Susan San Jose, Calif. (U.R) Super ior Judge .M. G. Del Mutolo Fri day ruled Mrs. Marjorie Smith, acquitted of the charge of killing her husband last year in Port land, Ore., was unfit to care for her three - year - old daughter Susan. Del Mutolo, who issued a scathing denunciation of Mrs. Smith's character and morals, awarded custody of the child to her aunt, Mrs. Ellen Hightower, of Los Gatos, Calif. Mrs. Smith was acquitted of conspiring to murder her hus band, Kermit, who was killed by a dynamite booby trap placed In his automobile. Guardianship Battle The child has been in the care of Mrs. Hightower since Susan's father was murdered. . Recently the child became the center of a bitter guardianship battle be tween the two women. . The, judge handed down his . ruling after a week-long trial which ended Tuesday. In his opinion, ' Del. Mutolo said Mrs, Smith's character was such that she could offer the child noth ing but "insecurity, poor and in frequent schooling, bad compan ionship and immoral influences." Speaking of the "pattern" of the 34-year-old woman's life, the judge said it "has been restless ness, -visionary adventures, in stability, immaturity and immor ality. She has been a failure-as a wife in three attempts and has not shown the proper obligations and duties as a mother to her children." Del Mutolo rejected the argu ment of Mrs. Smith's .attorney, Bruce Spaulding, who claimed the Santa Clara county court had no jurisdiction in the case and that it was properly a matter of interest in the Oregon courts. "When Mrs. Smith filed an an swer here to Mrs. Hightower's petition for guardianship "she submitted herself to the jurisdic tion of this court," ; the judge ruled. He said evidence presented during the trial proved Mrs. Hightower was a "person of un questioned integrity with good training and education." He said Mrs. Hightower has agreed to waive any share from the child's father's estate. Two Saved After Navy Plane Crash Fort Lauderdale,. Fla. (U.R) Two Navy airmen were killed and two others "miraculously saved" Saturday in the crash of . a Navy training plane a mile off the coast of Fort Lauderdale Beach. One man was dead when res cue workers from a Navy de stroyer in the area pulled him out of the wave-tossed water. Another died after the destroyer and an ambulance took him to a hospital in Port Everglades. The four men parachuted from the transport just before it crashed irlto the sea in a spray of flames. . Navy destroyers picked up the men about an hour after the burning plane flipped into the sea. ' Major James Priddy, the in formation services officer at Mi ami Masters Field, said a prelim inary report from the skipper of one of the three destroyers in the area said the plane nose dived with its right front engine in flames.

Travel Ban Aimed Ai Cutting Supply Of Tourist Dollar Washington flJ.P.) The State department's new ' ban - on Am erican travel to Hungary- is aimed chiefly -at cutting off Hungary's supply of U.S. tourist dollars. . . . ' - : Informed sources said .Satur day Hungary, like , most other foreign nations' is anxious 'to encourage American tourist trade to increase her source of American currency. They said she has been getting an increasing flow" of American visitors since last October when the United States removed ' all restrictions on travel to 'Hun gary." " -" ' k -: The State department ordered the ban reimposed Friday. It said in a sharp note to Hungary that relations between the two na tions have become strained as a result of Hungarian policies. Three Steps The United States said it had decided to take three steps: 1. Reimpose the old ban on American, travel , to Hungary which was lifted only last Oct. 31. 2. Clamp "additional restric tions on the travel? of Hungarian diplomats stationed in the Un: ited States. Hungarians are now restricted to an area 40 miles from Washington unless they give 24 hours' notice of plans to travel elsewhere. - 3. Abandon consideration .of possible talks with Hungary on U. S.-Hungarian problems. The U. S. note complained bitterly of "harassment" of Hun garian employees of the Ameri can legation in Budapest and "abridgement of freedom of the press." Officials Confirm Twinings Assertion On Atomic Weapons Washington (U.R) Atomic authorities Saturday confirmed Gen.' Nathan F. Twining's asser tion that accidental explosion of atomic weapons is almost im possible. ' ' The Air Chief of Staff said Americans needn't be alarmed by the thought of a skyfull of big bombers laden with nuclear weapons. He said the danger to U. S. civilians . from accidental atomic explosions1 in the ajr or on the ground is : "essentially nonexistent.", Slide Rule Theories . Atomic sourcses said Twining wasn't just talking "by the slide rule." Theoretical considerations convinced atomic weaponeers long ago that accidental ex plosion of A-bombs either as the result of enemy action or of accidents in handling was high ly unlikely. .' .1 . Nitroglycerin, TNT, and dyna mite non-atomic explosives all are skittish. A bump under the wrong circumstances can set them off. But that isn't the case with nuclear weapons. Making atomic weapons ex plode is a complicated engineer ing art. You could drop the Em pire State Building on an A bomb without detonating it. Un less "subcritical" amounts of nuclear explosives are brought together in just the right way to create a "critical assembly," they won't do anything but lie there. " External force, such as an enemy bombing raid, wi-ld be far more likelyto scatter the vital components of a t om i c weapons than they would be to assemble them explosively. The same would be true if a U.S. warplane lugging A-bombs, should crash on U.S. soil. Wanted Real Proof But that is slide rule stuff, and the Atomic Energy Com mission wanted . real proof. So last fall and . this winter the AEC staged some tests in Ne vada to see if -it-could make nuclear weapons go off without intentional activation of their built-in triggers. It' is understood the testers tried to explode atomic devices "accidentally" by means of high explosive charges - and, on the last attempt, by means of a low order nuclear detonation. About 75 per cent of army en listed men have attended high school. New York (U.R) For food budget thrift: fry and crumble V6 pound of bacon.'

' The interior ministry declar ed the WFTU in - Austria "dis solved" because its "operation endangered the security of the Austrian state." At the same time, the interior ministry warned Austria want ed to preserve its strict neutral ity and would not tolerate its air space being used for "air fights of foreign planes (or) propaganda balloons which are sent to other countries across our territory." This statement apparently re ferred to the crash of two Soviet built MIG-15 jet fighters oh Aus trian territory last month and to the balloons filled with leaf lets which Radio Free - Europe launches to the east bloc coun tries. . " Government officials said the action probably would force the Red labor octopus, which claims more than 70 million members in 79' nations, behind the Iron Curtain; . : . There :"are. an estimated 500, 000 r..iles of submarine cables in the world. . - .-.J... ALL-BRAN AND MILK-NATURE'S GREAT FOOD COMBINATION For relief from constipation due to insufficient balk Important food essentials for fitness Is the laxative drug habit becoming an increasingly annoying and unpleasant problem with you, as it has with so many adults? Then here is a simple fact that may come as welcome news to you: Millions of grown men and women like yourself have found the answer to their constipation problem without resorting to harsh purgatives that drain the system without the use of habit-forming drugs. They have simply changed to an appetizing and nourishing breakfast serving of Kellogg's All-Bran with milk. - . , ; How is it that Kellogg's All-Bran can succeed in so many cases where drugs and chemicals fail? For this one reason. Such prepa rations, intended only for relief of temporary stoppage, contain no bulk. Yet, lack of bulk is one of the commonest causes of constipa tion. So, because All-Bran provides all the good food bulk you need daily, it brings gentle, lasting relief from irregularity. You may be interested to. know, too, that All-Bran is one of the most nutritious breakfast foods you can eat. W. K. Kellogg, who originated All-Bran over 40 years ago, made certain of this. Mr. Kellogg discovered that the outer layers of the whole wheat grain were not only a fine natural laxative food but rich in nutritive value as well. He found, too, a special way of mill ing the whole grain so as not to lose any of its natural laxative effectiveness or nutrition. That is why Kellogg's All-Bran supplies you with important vitamins, minerals and high-quality protein the kind of nourishment you need to keep fit. Little wonder that Kellogg's All-Bran, the original, has grown to be the most widely accepted arid used of all bran cereals. Why don't you try the safe, gentle, natural laxative cereal that has helped literally millions? Kellogg's All-Bran. Eat a half cup of Kellogg's All-Bran every morning for just 10 days. If it doesn't bring you.safefying gentle relief from constipation, you get double your money back. That's a promise from Kellogg's of Battle Creek, Mich.
