' Byrnes said his power to Issue

authority previously granted
him.
"Was the order a mandate to
Mr. Byrnes?" a reporter in
quired. No, the president said, It was a

Mr. Roosevelt said he got this

that Ensign James be permitted
to remain In the courtroom,
Other witnesses had been ex
cluded. Lomax Informed Circuit
Judge L. G. Lewelling that he
might call James as a witness,
and he was ordered to leave.
Preceding James on the stand,
Charles T. Poole, Lane county
coroner, testified that he re
moved the body from the train
at Eugene.
A few minutes earlier in his
opening statement to the jury,
Leroy Lomax, counsel for the ne
gro, said:
The state has accused Folkes
of cutting Mrs. James' throat as
she lay in her berth because she
resisted him. Her death oc
curred shortly after 4 a. m.,
January 23, as the Southern Pa
cific s West Coast Limited roar
ed through the Willamette val
ley. Explains Actions
Lomax said Folkes retired
shortly after the train left Port
land, and awakened about 4
a. m. He admitted that the negro
went through car D and past
Mrs. James' berth, as charged
by the state, but insisted he went
to a smoking room. '
He returned to the diner gal
ley, Lomax continued, and baked
several pans of muffins, cooked
two kinds of cereal, and served
breakfast to two trainmen.
The attorney said H. M.
Hughes, porter in car D, was in
the smoking compartment. At
about 4:38 a. m., he heard a man
cry out:
"My God! Stop this train a
woman has been murdered."
Sses Marina
Hughes then related, Lomax
said, that he dashed into the
aisle of the car "in a split sec
ond." He said he saw a form
standing in the aisle, over a form
on the floor of the car. He
turned on the celling lights and
saw the standing form was a
marine, partially dressed. He
had blood on his left hand,
Hughes related. A marine, Pvt.
Harold Wilson, occupant of up
per 13, told police that he was
the first to reach Mrs. James
after she tumbled from her bed.
At the time, Lomax continued.
Folkes was at work in the galley.
Later, he said, Wilson came
through the train, and wiped the
blood from his hand on a towel
in the second car from the death
car.
List Denied
Lomax told the jury the rail
road company had denied him
the list of passengers in the car,
and that he had been permitted
to Interview only five possible
witnesses.
'I don't know for sure," he
said, "but I think Folkes' only
witness will be myself."
Doors to the courtroom were
closed to spectators at 9:30 a. m.,
leaving more than a hundred
milling In the corridors. Today
for the first time, school children
were barred. The 180 seats in
the courtroom were filled, how
ever. Always read the classified ads.

L. Alexander, allied deputy
commander in chief.
(A transoccan dispatch broad
cast by the Berlin radio and re
corded by the Associated Press
said "The great superiority of
the enemy in men and material
is showing Its effect." Elaborat
ing upon a nazi high command
communique which said axis
troops had frustrated allied en
circlement attempts in bitter
fighting, the dispatch reported
that "The detaching movement
toward the north ... to all ap
pearances Is being continued.'
Americans Push On
(A British radio broadcast re
corded by CBS said American
forces thrusting along the road
from Maknassy to the coast (by
way of Mezzouna) "are now re
ported to be little more- than
20 miles from General Sir Ber
nard Montgomery's spearhead").
Military quarters announced
that allied observers saw axis
troops heading out of Mahares
yesterday. Both Mahares and
Mezzouna are way stations on
the Gaisa-Sfax railway. Mahares
lies 50 miles northeast of Gabes.
While American and British
aerial squadrons maintained as
saults upon retiring axis col
umns, it was announced that
130 enemy vehicles had been
destroyed and 200 damaged in
the past two days.
Rommel Short
Pressed hard by the eighth
army, Rommel was growing
short of motor transports to ex
tricate his rear guards.
In the Medjaz-El-Bab sector
of northern Tunisia the British
maintained the offensive launch
ed Wednesday on a 12-mile
front. Long-range guns knocked
out two enemy tanks there.
Military quarters said one
enemy tank concentration in
that area was observed yester
day under violent attack by
German dive-bombers which ob
viously had mistaken their tar
get.
Other Actions .
In the central sector enemy
transports moving north to Zag-
houan, lo miles east of the nazi
base at Pont du Fahs, were at
tacked by RAF Spitfires and
four vehicles were wrecked.
American - piloted Spitfires
damaged one Messerschmitt dur
ing a battle of aerial patrols.
A small force of British naval
motor craft engaged a strongly
escorted enemy convoy by night
off the port of Bizerte, sank one
supply ship and scored two tor
pedo hits on another, it was
announced.
Enemy destroyers and E-boats
opened fire after the close-range
attack, but the raiders suffered
only superficial damage and one
minor casualty.
MERRILL Word of the pass
ing of Mrs. Emma Kidwell,
Klamath county pioneer, was re
ceived here Friday morning
from Eugene by Mrs. Kidwell's
granddaughter, Mrs. Roy Beas
ley. Mrs. Kidwell, past 80 years of
age at the time of her passing,
was an early day resident of the
Merrill district, and left this sec
tion some 25 years ago. She was
the mother of J. B. Kidwell of
Jenny Creek, the grandmother
of Joe Kidwell, also of that place.
Seven grandchildren and several
great-grandchildren survive. Fu

hopes increasing numbers of

had been delayed because of the
Bankhaad bill.
That measure, rocontly vetoed
by the president and then re
turned by the senate to its agri
culture committee, would have
prevented conclusion of govern
ment benefits in computing par
ity prices of farmers products, an
action that would have raised
feed prices.
Meanwhile, Brown said he ex
pected about April 20 a report
from his committee studying
OPA personnel and that he
would not upon "tho fads" un
covered by Hint investigation.
He made that 'statement after
Pntman declared that the com
mittee had found that "three or
four'' persons In OPA wore re
sponsible for "all the trouble"
with moat packers "and our
hope is that those who won't ac

LK MEN FIRE
FIRST GUN IN
Tl
WASHINGTON, April 9 (P)
Organized milk producers fired
the first gun for the opposition
today In the coming congression
al battle over extending tho re
ciprocal trade agreement act for
three years from June 12.
Without waiting for the house
ways and means committee to
start hearings Monday on the
Doughton extension resolution
with Secretary Hull as the Initial
witness, Charles W. Holman, sec
retary of the National Coopera
tive Milk Producers' federation,
released a statement declaring it
would be unwise to grant new
life to this "totalitarian piece of
legislation" without limitations.
Holman said his organization
would join a number of farm and
labor groups in opposition exten
sion unless:
1. The, trade pacts are subject
to senate ratification the same as
treaties, by a two-thirds vote.
2. The benefits of the agree
ments are confined to the na
tions with which the United
States negotiates them instead
of, as at present, automatically
conferring such benefits on all
other nations not discriminating
against American trade.
3. The right of citizens to have
actions reviewed by tho federal
courts is restored, and
4 There is a "fundamental re
form" In the procedure of hold
ing hearings on proposed agree
ments. Holman, said a study by his
organization two years ago show
ed that the agreements would
"force American farmers to pay
the cost of developing the ex
ports, of our American indus
trialists." He added that while !
their broad effect could not be
measured now because of the
war, it "will be plenty" once the
transport facilities of other na
tions are released from war du
ties. NEW TODAY!
