Newspaper Page Texti ( Redin Judge Rues Claims Made By U.S. SEATTLE. July 18 Pl Fed eral Judge Lloyd L. Black Mid In the Jury's absence in the LU Mcolai O. Redin espionage-conspiracy trial today that he was sorry that the dignity of thu trial had been threatened by such extravagant claims" in the governmcnt'i closing argu ments. During the first two and half weeka of the trial, the Judge aaid, evidence was submit ted and the counsel had "con fined themselves to the Issues." The government charges are based on testimony of Herbert Kennedy, shipyard engineer, that he sold secrets of the U. S. Yellowstone, a destroyer ten der, to Redin for $250. "It is my opinion that until the opening arguments the jury was much impressed by the gov ernment's case," Judge Black said. (The opening argument was given by Victor E. Ander son, special assistant to the U. o. auorney genera. , , "I will now state that there is ; not a syllable of evidence in this I iriai wii ira njciiii.ii ..u '- was in this country. "There was not a whisper of evidence that Russia had any information on Redin's activi ties." Asserting government counsel had overstated importance of Paul O. Landry this question: "Many property owners take friends through their new homes nights and Sundays while under con struction. As contractors are we liable In case of accident?

The judge remarked that de fense counsel had "happily" taken advantage of the intro duction of such statements. Judge Black also referred to closing arguments by Defense Counsel Irvin Goodman, and re marked that the Tom Mooney trial in California two decades ago had no connection with this case. Goodman had compared the two.

Play Center Funds Win Ballot Spot (Continued From Page One) suggested the chamber might be able to raise, by subscription, the J60.000 required for the lounge and in this way combine the liv ing memorial with recreational plans. The Jaycees were in structed by the council to find out just how much money they could raise by subscription and report back. Moving on a separate issue, the council accepted the recrea tion committee's suggestion to place a continuing one and one- nan mm levy on the ballot for the development and enlarge ment or present recreation facili ties. Added to the present half mill continuing levy, this would give the recreation committee approximately 519,000 a year for operation and improvement. The city attorney was directed by the council to prepare the necessary ordinances to place this measure on the ballot.

Rangers and other employes assisted Knapp in making the long difficult climb back to the top. In com menting on this unique experi ence. Superintendent E. P. Lea- vitt said: I "The park service Is bending every effort to open the trail ! to Crater lake so that visitors ! may enjoy in reasonable safety a visit to and on the water. Wc urge visitors not to attempt to ' go down to the water until the : trail is officially opened as ' those who make such attempts i not only jeopardize their own ; lives but the lives of others, as i well as slowing the work of opening the trail. We are all : happy that Knapp emerged from his ordeal virtually un I harmed and hope that his ex i perience will deter others from i any attempt to duplicate his feat." Leavitt also said Knapp de fied a barricade across the head of the trail, warning signs and pleas of his mother against the I adventure. Todd Lawyer Asks Court For Verdict (Continued From Page One) tary manslaughter, and that there were two tviH-s of killings covered by the term manslaugh ter, voluntary and involuntary. As for the form of live indict ment. Humble said that he fol lowed a statutory form which had been sustained by tho su preme court and that It was a correct form. To that Judge Vandenfoerg answered. "My dear man. those forms are tu aid you in writing indictments. You can't take 12 or 14 Indictments to cover 3000 laws. If you could, all you d need is a $10 code book and a secretary." 'Friendly' Struggle The prosecution rested at 11:30. then O'Neill made his mo tion to have the case thrown out. Prosecution witnesses Stan ley M. Hendricks and Harry Marin, who were with Simmers In the ice dock office at the time and saw the "horseplay" between Simmers and Todd Just prior to the shooting, testified that Todd fired at the climax of a brief and "friendly" strug gle and Simmers fell to the tloor with a pistol bullet in his heart. It was their testimony that Simmes bad taken a blackjack away from Todd and was bran dishing it when the railroad spe cial ofilcer drew his pistol and Lied. City and state police officers, called to the scene of the shoot lug, testified In court today they smelled alcohol on Todd's breath and said Todd told them Simmcs had the sap in his hand and he, Todd, "let him have it." Indictment Attacked When the state rested, O'Neill attacked the indictment on the grounds that it did not state facts to constitute a crime, there was no such crime in Ore gon as voluntary manslaughter, that the indictment was not in good form nnd also maintained that the evidence did not prove the crime. O'Neill said in this state the law specifies six typos of man slaughter and that the word "voluntary" was not a part of any of them. He also said that the evidence showed only involuntary killing In the commission of an unlaw ful act, the act being the point ing of a gun, which is a mis demeanor. The indictment against Todd reads ". . . voluntary manslaugtv ter . . . on the 25th of January, 1946, ... did then and there unlawfully, feloniously and vol untarily kill one Ross Simmers by shooting him with a 32-20 revolver." j : i Next Action Up ! To Joint Conference j (Continued From Page One) and many other food Items should be exempted from price controls. The issue for the house was whether to accept the senate bill or seek a compromise through the conference route. Wolcott said he did not know what would be the result of a conference but was "hopeful wc can work out something." Lower Costs Reported On the other side of the debate, Rep. Jenkins of Ohio, chairman of the republican food study committee, said he had figures indicating the cost of filling the market basket actually had dropped in the last two weeks. Rep. Michcner (R-Mlch.) lined up with Wolcott in recommend ing that the bill be sent to the conference group. Rep. Sabath (D-Ill.) also urged that action. "The public must not be mulcted and held up," Sabath said. "We must legislate in the interest of the public." Sabath. chairman of the rules committee, asked the house to send the measure to a senate house conference committee which could rewrite It "to pro tect the consumers of this coun try." Many essential living cost Items, he added, have jumped "20 to 30 per cent" since OPA died 16 days ago.
