TO JURY LUTE
111 AFTERNOON
(Continued from Pag One)
tloncd by his attorney, Earl
Bernurd, and cross-cxaminca oy
Prosecutor Rex Kimmell, the
defense rested its case. , He had
been on the witness stand ncar-
lv turn hnurfl.
Heuvel abruptly denied all
queries put to him touching on
points of the Huff girl's sensa
tional testimony vvcuiiKsnay. nc
said that at no time had he
committed any act of familiar
ity or impropriety toward either
Bernice Huff or Virginia Gib
son, the missing witness who
was alica witn me nun gir
In November of last year.
Danlet Promise -
At no time, he testified, had
he advised them to be thinking
of what they could do to get
out of spending 30 days in jail
for vagrancy, or had he asked
; them if they would be willing
to comply with his wishes if
they would be freed.
. The Huff girl had previously
testified that Heuvel had told
Virginia and her they would be
free to go home if they would
do anything he asked, and both
agreed. She stated she went
through an immoral experience
with the defendant behind
locked doors in his city hall of
fice and was freed the next
morning.
Heuvel denied ever making
any such promise to either of
the girls and termed his inter
view with them as routine. A
request to Police Judge Harold
Franey to order undiseased vag
rant girls out of town was also
routine, the ex-peace officer
said.
Girls' Records Mentioned
He remembered Bernice Huff
vaguely, he testified, but could
not place Virginia Gibson in his
mind. He could not recall
whether he personally conveyed
the information to Judge
Francy that the girls were un
diseased, by medical examina
tion, but undesirable as visitors
to Klamath Falls, with a re
quest that they be told to
leave town. '
, Heuvel also claimed that his
disappearance from Oregon, on
January 25 or 26, had nothing
to do with the Huff girl's
charges and that he did not
know any such charges had
been filed against him until he
was arrested in Keosett, Ark,
in June.
He left, he said, principally
because of ill health. He was
subject to migraine headaches,
aggravated by -the long hours
be had to work at the police
Station, and was about 40
pounds under his normal
weight.
. Also, he continued, the con
tributing case came up, prefer
red by Willie Mae Collins and
her sister, Margaret, and the
case was handed over to the
grand jury for investigation re
gardless of the fact that the
testimony of nine witnesses and
the girls proved they were im
moral, had spent the night with
different men, had registered in
auto camps with different men
and were generally "no good."
The district attorney and
court officials knew, Heuvel
stated, of the girls' records and
offenses and that they were
liable for prosecution on more
serious crimes than the charges
against him, but still the con
tributing complaint was given
to the grand jury.
No Indictment had beep re
turned on that charge when he
left town, Heuvel said, and he
also denied keeping in touch
with .the situation in Klamath
rails. : u
Hears Rumors
. Another contributing factor
in his secret departure was a
.rumor current around town, the
did not elaborate on who was
meant by "they."
He decided to leave, he said,
to regain his health, then come
back after his wife, Virginia,
an army nurse, returned from
.oversE??. get a competent in
.vcstlsalur and see what was at
, ine bottom of his persecution.
He '.vert under the name of
.henry Walter Knapp because
he wanted to be left alone.
Uuder cross examination
Heuvel stated that it was a
general custom to close his of
Iice dours when interviewing
girls, but denied locking the
doors as "there was no occasion
for it."
He admitted that his right
name is Thomas Lester Van den
Heuvel and stated that he
adopted the name "Earl" when
about 14 years of age. He ad
mitted taking the draft cards
b,?a,V"e the name t Henry
Walter Knapp from the home
of a friend in California, to
using that name and growing a
mustache to conceal his where
abouts. The $1400 check, which was
cashed in Aurora, III., and
which finally caused him to be
, caHd Kensett, Ark., was
signed "Earl Heuvel." He in
tended to use most of the
money, when his wife arrived
from overseas, in employing a
private detective to probe into
the Klamath Falls situation, he
claimed.
With Heuvcl's testimony the
defense rested.

f;amo again as we did after the
ast war.
If America is to have any
weight at all in the world of the
future, It must stay strong.
THERE is a new development
in France.
De Gaulle, unanimously
chosen interim president yester
day by the new French con
stituent assembly, resigns today
when he fails to "compromise
differences" with the French
communist party. The commun
ists, the dispatches report, had
set as their price for participa
tion in a coalition government
the appointment of a communist
as one of the "big three" min
isters (foreign affairs, interior
or war.)
There is a later dispatch to
the effect . that FRANTIC ne
gotiations to prevent De Gaulle's
resignation are under way in
Paris. Who is doing the frantic
negotiating isn't stated in the
dispatch. .
The communists are ' the
strongest of three parties repre
wntpH in the new French con
stituent assembly, but are out
numbered by the otner two. it
is obvious that tney are maiung
a play for all the power they
can get.
RADIO SILENCE

ments plunged the hearing into
controversy.
The Californian asked Thielen
if he knew whether any orders
had been issued at Pearl Harbor
or in Washington directing
American forcea not to fife on
T , V ;n-tnllBt!nne
until fired upon.
"Don't you know that such an
order was issued to General Mac
Arthur?" Gearhart asked.
Thielen said he had no
knowledge of it.-.
"Is that the reason they have
you people come up here to read
hearsay testimony to us so that
when we ask you a question you
can answer that you don't
know?" demanded Gearhart. -
Chairman Barkley tu-iiy.)
broke in to object that the com
mittee had agreed to receive a
narrative account of the actual
Japanese attack on Pearl Har
bor. Start Shouting
Republicans immediately
started shouting into, the micro
phones before them. -
Gearhart said he never agreed
to any such thing. Senators Fer
guson and Brewster (R-Me.) said
they nadn t eimer.
Barklev insisted that the
method had been agreed upon
previously and republicans had
not objected then.
In a series of questions, Gear
hart attempted to develop what
he said was the significance of
orders to turn off- the Oahu
radar machines at 7 a. m. He
noted that the attacking Japan
ese planes flew into the scope
of one of the machines, still op
erating at 7:02 a. m.
. "Donf you think it was pos
sible somebody was exerting a
tremendous influence over the
writing of orders either in the
headquarters 'in Honolulu or
headquarters in the United
States?" he asked the witness.
. Thielen. said, he didn't know
anything about that.

Third Labor
Union Eyed
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16 (ff)
Talk of the formation of a third
labor federation, embracing
unions independent of the CIO
and AFL, was heard today at
the labor -management confer
ence. John L. Lewis, chief of the
United Mine Workers, was sug
gested as leader of the projected
organization.
Lewis himself told reporters,
"it's one of the matters to be
considered along with all other
things affecting the future."
Walter W. Cenerazzo, of the
American Watch Makers inion,
discussed with Lewis the pos
sible formation of such a group
and Joseph Beiroe, president
of the National Federation of
Telephone Workers, told report
ers that "Lewis or somebody
must do the job."
Industry Stand
Industry delegates to the con
ference promised to reveal to
day their stand on the collective
bargaining issue.
Indications were it might
take the form of a counter pro
posal or amendment to a re
quest by CIO President Philin
Murray that the conference ap
prove bargaining within the
framework of the administra
tion's broad wage-price policy;
raise wages generally without
increasing prices.
Ira Mosher, president of the
National Association of Manu
facturers, told newsmen man
agement s "100 per cent" view
would be presented to the con
ference executive committee at

their proposal that the United
Nations organization create a
special commission on atomic
energy,
Russia's reaction may either
be made known quickly or with
held until the United Nations
holds its organization meeting
at London during the first week
in January.
That is where the issue will
have to come to a head.
Meanwhile, the world prob
ably will learn something more
about American thinking on the
subject tonight from Secretary
of State Byrnes. The state de
partment said he would devote
part of his speech to the three-
power declaration when he ap
pears at a testimonial dinner in
Charleston, S. C, (5 p. m. PST
NBC).
The job for the United Na
tions presumably will be pro
posed formally by the United
States as soon as the security
council is organized.
While no details have been
disclosed officially, it is expect
ed by officials here that the pro
posed atomic commission will
be set up under the security
council and that it will include
as members America, Britain,
Russia, France and China.
Those are the five permanent
members of the council.
