Mrs. Zudell ran into the room and began pulling Hughes' hair, trying to pull him off her husband. He ran Irom the store and dis appeared. City and State Police were able to determine that Hughes, who was previously known to officers here although he had been in Klamath Fails only a few months probably was the man, and he surrendered voluntarily after State Police went to tile Emerald Street address looking for nun. Hughes waived a preliminary hearmg, waived grand Jury in dictment, said he didn't want a lawyer, and pleaded guilty to the charge ot assault with Intent to rob. He told Judge Vandenberg of several previous brushes with the law, starting - in Nashville, Ark., in 1943 when he was sent to a reformatory for burglary, and in cluding a prison sentence from Brawley, Calif., for forgery. Omar William Fronune, 26, tall bespectacled young man brought here from San Quentm Prison Monday, pleaded guilty to an old indictment charging him with lar ceny of a car, stolen here June 23, 1950. On June 27, 1950, Frorame was arrested in Redding tor armed robbery and sentenced to five years in prison. He was pa roled Monday. Froniine, who was honorably discharged after serving one war time hitch in the Marines, re ceived a dishonorable discharge from that service in 1948 after his second enlistment. He said he had deserted from Camp Lejeune, N. C. and served eight months at the Terminal island military pris on for it. He refused appointment of a lawyer and was returned to Jail to wait sentencing. Virgil Durant Jackson, 24-year-old Indian, also waived prelimi nary hearing and indictment and plerded - guilty to a charge of failing to. support his wife, Shirley Jackson of Bonansa. He was represented by Attor ney Harold Merryman. Jackson - said he and Shirley were married Feb. 8, and after three weeks she left him. He said be was in town Monday, from Prospect where he has been work ing, to see Merryman about get ting a divorce when he was picked up on the non-support charge. ' Judge Vandenberg -ordered De puty District Attorney Frank Ai de rson to have Shirley Jackson -in court this alternoon so ne could determine whether she left her husband with just cause or with out. The judge said if he decides she left without cause, he would dismiss the case even though Jackson had pleaded guilty.

McKeldin and' William Preston Lane Jr., wht talked down all the opposition and got the bridge started when he was governor before McKeldin, had four black and gold ribbons to cut at formal dedication exer cises.

Third longest bridge In the world, it marks the end of an era ot division for Maryland, since the Bay sets apart nine counties on the Eastern shore from Baltimore and the 14 other counties. General Grow Convicted FT. MEADE. Md. Ifl The American general who wa.i report ed by the Russians to have kept a diary advocating a hlt-'em-flrst war with the Soviet Union has been convicted of letting his diary fall into Communist hands. Technically. MaJ. Oen. Robert W, Grow was found guilty by a court martial Tuesday of two of ficers: Jolting down military sec rets In his personal dlarv and fall ing to safeguard classified data. He was sentenced to a repri mand, which will count aRalnst future promotion, and suspension from command for six monUts. Maximum penally would have been five years confinement, dis charge, and forfeiture of pay and allowances, , . . The hush-hush week long trial before eight generals was so secret that even now the actual evidence against Orow. 57-year-old hero of two World Wars, has not been made public. Newsmen were even forbidden to contact those involved. What his diary really contained also Is veiled in secrecy. But if propaganda Russia poured out last year to bolster war-mong-rlna rharres arrainst the United Stales Is correct. Uie diary said 'Rvar'l As soon as possible! Nowl . . . The time Is ripe for a blow this year (1951) ... We must larn that In this war It Is fair to hit below the belt. We must under stand that this war Is total war and Is fought with all weapons." Early last year orow was a mili tary attache at the U.S. Embassy In Moscow. He went to Frankfurt, Germany, on official business. While there, a Russian spy alleg edly crept Into bis room during his absence, stole his diary, photo graphed It, and returned it. The Soviet agent turned photo rrranhle conies of the dlarv over to Richard Squires, described as a British writer, who used them In a book entitled "On the Path to War." Russia used the book as am munition for a propaganda bar rage, hammering home the Com munist theme that the U.S. wanted TUNE-UP (LABOR) $4.95 DUGAN & MEST S22 So. erii i An (Open n IBM 4 t fl I Hi 111 .- .
