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.
He said the men must have
parachuted from approximately
400 feet.

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.

Austria Throws Out
Red Operated Union
.Vianna, Austria (U.R) The
Austrian government flexed its
nine-months-old muscles, of free
dom Saturday and threw the
Communist-run World Federa
tion of Trade Unions headquar
ters out of the country. '
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

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.
