Ter m JURY VERDICT BRIEFDEBATE Second Degree Murder Decision Comes in Hour and Half ' A verdict of second degree murder was returned by the jury t a quarter to 11 p. m. Saturday in the William Titus murder case after one hour and 25 minutes of deliberation. The verdict puts Titus behind bars for the rest of his life, except in the event of a. parole, as a conviction of second degree murder calls for a mandatory life imprisonment sentence in Oregon. Though proceedings had last ed all day and well into the evening, ' several persons re mained in the courtroom until the Jury returned with the ver dict. Titus, who looked despond- ent with never a trace of a smile on his face throughout the entire 'trial, heard the jury's de cision with bowed head. Circuit Judge David' R. Van denberg ' instructed . .the . jury that they could return a verdict of murder in the first degree and calling for the death pen alty: murder in' the first degree but with recommendation for leniency and a life imprison ment sentence; second degree murder; manslaughter; or not guilty. .

He carried only an un loaded gun. to permit necessary shopping, trips to the doctor and so forth, and to keep the car in good con dition. "To leave a car in the garage for two months, save up the coupons and take a . 180-mile va. cation trip accomplishes neither of these purposes. In the east such use of a car incurs severe penalties, though in the west nothing has been done about it yet. "When a car with A, B or C sticker, however, is found parked beside a trout stream or at a summer resort, the presumption is strongly against the owner of the car, and his ration board is being notified." ' REACHED AFTER Churchill Returns Home m 5 Ik U & LyJ .Wo 5 With his can and cigar, British Prima Minister Winston Churchill stroda jauntily along toward 10 Downing street upon his return to England after conferences with President Roosevelt in Washington and a visit to North Africa. Photo radioed from Lcndon to New York. New Yank Air I n Britain a $ Moves Stir . -LONDON, June 7 IIP) The expanded -today by the arrival- airmen and equipment, and already-feverish invasion speculation was heightened by Prime Minister Churchill's continuing round of conferences believed to bear strategy meeting and his visit to North Africa.- For military reasons the strength of the U. S. air unit Just arrived at a British port was kept secret, but it: is known that bombers and their crews have streamed .across the Atlantic as the weather improved and that ground personnel, bombs and other equipment have been ar- riving regularly by boat. The lull in the aerial on slaught to soften Europe for land invasion continued into its ninth day. The last heavy raids were May 29, when U. S. fliers hammered Rennes and St. Na zaire and the RAF smashed at Wuppertal. Bad weather over the conti nent was given as the reason for the lay-off, although there was some speculation the heavy bombers had shifted to the Med iterranean area for concentr' d action on that potential 1. u sion front. The Daily Mail said the RAF had a new bombing policy giant raids aimed at ob literating alarge industrial cen ter in a single night. The RAF struck at channel shipping and French coastal dis tricts Sunday and nazi fighter bombers hit at a southeast coastal town, which the Ger man radio said was Eastbourne. The invasion guessing con tinued in London's press, with the Daily Herald declaring Gen. C. Marshall, U. S. army chief of staff, probably would head invasion forces in the Mediter ranean theatre while a British General might direct any inva sion against the northern Eu rope coast. The Daily Express said the North African conferences, at tended by Churchill, Gen. Mar shall and Gen. Sir Alan Brooke, "put the finishing touches to the United Nations' summer campaign" and that Lieut. Gen. Mark W. Clark's fifth U. S. ar my would play a large role. McNutt Says Some Boards Illegally Drafted Fathers WASHINGTON, June I War . Manpower Commissioner Paul V. McNutt said today that some draft boards had been vio lating the ban against induction of fathers, and he advised men of this status to appeal. Some boards, McNutt told a press conference, have "gone a little out of the way tbeyond the non-deferrable list" and have improperly inducted fathers not engaged in the approximately 70 activities listed as lacking any right to deferment for depen dency. McNutt said that in some cases where complaints had reached his office the boards taking fathers outside the non-deferrable list had been "put back in .'line." . , . .

Gen. Joseph W. Stil well's headquarters said today. They swept the Yangtze from Ichang to Shasi, damaged one large boat and raked a gunboat with strafing fire, among other things, the communique said. - Chinese Advance Chinese dispatches meanwhile said Chiang Kai-Shek's forces were battering- their way toward Hwajung, a Huna province town 100 miles southeast of the main Japanese base of Ichang. The capture of Hwajung, north of Tungting . lake which the Japa nese used as a springboard for their -abortive offensive down the Yangtze valley, would great ly relieve the threat to the great China rice bowl.
