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.

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.
