o Wednesday, August 14. 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE - ... 'A v ,'& f t ' j 'is r- ;" I J - APPEARING IN COURT, principals in probe of assassination of Sanford Lerner, Chicago department store owner, deny complicity. Attorney Joseph R. Roth (left), 49, says he had nothing to do with killing. Behind him in dark glasses are Donald Dubey (taller) and Sheldon Polakoff, who claimed they were hired to do killing but refused at last minute. Attorney William P. Gerber, representing Roth, and Detective Charles Fitzgerald, who developed evidence linking Roth and Mrs. Leraer, are at right (International Soundphotc) Witness Tells of Confidential Rejecting Call Girl's Life Story Hollywood 0P Publisher Robert Harrison rejected the life tory of a Hollywood call girl because "he wanted juicier stor ies for Confidential magazine, a witness testified today in the criminal libel trial of the magazine. EAST Depot - 14S N . Front - SP J-1853 The disclosure came from a former roommate of admitted prostitute Ronnie Quillan as an other lurid chapter in the lives of film stars unfolded before a jury. Told of Conversations Carmen Jacques, an attractive brunette wearing dark glasses, testified she was a pre-medical student when she roomed with Miss Quillan, and told of con versations she had with Harri son, publisher of Confidential and Whisper magazine. It was Miss Quillan who Tues day provided another bombshell in the trial when she testified she had an "affair" with Cuban band leader Desi Arnaz, a story promptly denied by Arnaz. Miss Jacques said she twice met Harrison at the Quillan apartment when she was living with Miss Quillan between Feb ruary and December of 1954. NOW... at m.rXiPtrA , Ml..,.,..,.,,...,.! A New and Much Discussed Children's Book by a Medford Writer, PATRICIA FARRELL - and her collaborator, Carolyn Kauffman "If You Live with Little Children" A different kind of book about bringing up children with the emphasis on fun, designed to help parents teach children to entertain themselves and make life with small children the fun it should be. $295 "Mr. Harrison , asked Ronnie to get stories for Confidential," Miss Jacques said under ques tioning by the prosecution, which is seeking to establish that Harrison used prostitutes as "lures" to trap stars and obtain spicy stories. Ronnie said she wanted to write her life story for Mr. Har rison but Harrison wanted juic ier stories," she said. During another visit, she said, Harrison and Miss Quillan "dis cussed a movie star that he had some sort of lead on an ac tress." Arnaz was quick to label Miss Quillan's testimony as "a lot of baloney." Case of Jitters "From the pictures I've seen of her, I don't think I could have done anything like that,". Arnaz said. Movie stars got a good case of the jitters with the prosecution's denial it would dismiss charges against Confidential magazine if the defense made good its prom ise to turn movieland's top he roes and heroines into villans on the witness stand. Nude Body Found In Irrigation Canal Toppenish, Wash. (IP) A nude bodv identified as that of Mavis McKay, Pendleton, Ore., was found in an irrigation canal near here Tuesday and the pos sibility of foul play was being investigated. Dr. Ralph Shirey, Yakima county coroner, said an autopsy disclosed the woman died of a broken neck. Her clothing was not found. She was believed to be 30 to 35 years old. ORDNANCE MAN DIES Washington (IB Brig. Gen. Urban Niblo, U.S. Army (Ret.), 59, who held several high ordnance posts before his re tirement in 1955, died Tuesday. San Francisco Bay Replica at Work on Research Problems Sausalito, Calif. (IP) One of the most ingenious models in existence, constructed at a cost in excess of $300,000 by U.S. Army Engineers after years of research today is at work on problems which may well af fect millions of persons and in vestments of billions of dollars. So exact is this replica of San Francisco Bay, considered one of the great natural phenomena of the maritime- world, "that it is described as something the bay itself might have spawned. The model occupies Vi acres within an Army district ware house, formerly a unit of Marin Shipyards, at Sausalito, in the Redwood Empire a few miles north of the Golden Gate bridge. The model is now being in spected by engineers from many fields, as well as hundreds of tourists. Here they may observe an exact, simulated reproduc tion of current velocities and tidal drifts at any point in the bay. By studying the activated model, engineers will be able to establish a pattern for the move ment of mud and silt in the bay and contiguous waters. It. now costs the federal government alone $2,000,000 annually to keep bay region shipping chan nels open. Two Suggestions The model, in addition to pro viding a key to navigational problems, also will be utilized in coping with the continuing intrusion of salt tidewater to the fertile delta region at the confluence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers. Col. John A. Graf, district engineer, U.S. Army, said that engineers, after verification cf the model, will be in a better position to consider the feasi bility of projected salt water barriers. Two such barriers have been suggested, one by Cornelius Bie mond, a noted Netherlands en gineer, and the second by John Reber. The former proposed the construction of a barrier across the Sacramento river in the del ta area, with aqueducts to trans port fresh water where needed. The Reber plans call for earth barriers across the north and south portions of San Francisco Bay. Engineers point out that con struction of barriers might well pose other knotty problems such as the effect they would have on tidal prisms. The controlled flow and ebb of tides in the model at Sausalito may hold the answer. FOR SUMMER SOLDIERS Washington Crossing, N. J. CIP) The searing northeastern drought left its mark on a famed historical spot today. The place where George Washington and his army crossed the Delaware river in boats in 1776 was at wading level from one bank to the other.
