Van Vactor had said that Kirk had said nothing of a pistol In direct testimony, but the record was read showing that In answer to one question he had said he saw what he thought was a gun in the hand of John just before he shot. Argument There was some argument be tween O'Neill and Van Vactor over the appearance of Gladys Kirk as a state rebuttal witness. O'Neill said he had not called Mrs. Kirk as a defense witness because there was nothing she eould add to the Jury's know ledge of the important elements of the case. Van Vactor replied that if the defense had "thought it would do them any good, they would have had Mrs. Kirk here if she had had both legs broken.' The young Indian woman came into court on crutches, dragging in a cast a leg that was CONSULATES OF FOR NEW YEA ITALY CLOSED (Continued From Page One) the movements of consular of ficials.

BATTLEFIELDS BULGARIAN L CLEARED SEATTLE HEADY FOR BLACKOUT FRIDAY NIGHT SEATTLE, March 6 (F) High officers of the army, navy and air corps will converge here to morrow night for what is be lieved to be the first blackout of a major American city since New York doused many of its lights for a 1918 submarine scare. From Vancouver, B. C, where war is a national reality, will come a delegation to witness the 15-minute preparedness test. Top-ranked representatives of the nation's military will be Maj. Gen. Kenyon A. Joyce of Fort Lewis, with six officers of the ninth army corps staff: Mai Gen. John F. Curry, commander of the northwest air district, and Rear Admiral C. S. Freeman, commandant of the 13th naval district Army and navy airplanes will circle the city to make a photo graphic record of the blackout's effectiveness. On the streets of this city of close to 400,000, even a cigarette in the dark will be a violation of regulations. Cars must be parked with lights out and only emergency traffic will be allowed. An army of 10,000 or more volunteers has been recruited to enforce the blackout. Mayor John E. Carroll, In appealing fbV public cooperation, said there would be no prosecutions for houses where lights showed but there would be for any motoring violations. While wardens patrol by land, boats will do the same by bay and lakes. The maze of arrange ment details include guardians for every fire alarm box in the city to safeguard against false alarm pranksters. Traffic lights which are inde pendent of the master switches will be doused individually. Heavy paper bags will be slip ped over some. Experts have volunteered to handle electric display signs that work by complicated time clocks. Hundreds of similar problems have been hurdled by the committee which has been planning the event for weeks. A warning will be sounded at 10:30 throughout the city and over all radio stations.

Tho Dardanelles are as important to Russia as to I urkey." The Dardanelles, linking the Black sea to the Mediterranean, provide a Russian outlet to the western world. Government quartern In Buch arest acknowledged that Ruman ia hud received a coinmunica nun jrom Aioscow a message wnicn nigh diplomatic sources declared was h virtual ultima tum to Rumania to cede naval bases on tho Ulnck sea to Rus sia. If true, two snarnly divergent explanations arose: 1. Since Rumania is German dominated, it may have been a thinly-veiled warning to Ger many to beware of jeopardizing Russia's Black sea interests. 2. Or, cession of Rumanian Black sea bases may have been Russia's "price" for giving Ger many the green light in the oc cupation of Bulgaria. At the time nazi troops set off for Bulgaria, Rumania mobil ized a million reservists and dispatched them to the Russian border to replace German units withdrawn. One theory expressed then was that, in her role as "protec tor" of Rumania, Germany would have been embarrassed by the presence of German troops on the soviet frontier if Russia made further demands on Rumania.
