Study Of
Indictment
Ordered
A legal bombshell was exploded
by Uie defense Tuesday at Uie man
slaughter trial of Alfred Junior
Carter, 31-year-old Merrill farm
hand, and left a strong possibility
thai the case will hsve lo be dis
missed due to a faulty Indictment.
Testimony of Uie first prosecu
tion witness had Just been com
pleted when Defense Attorneys Ed
win E. Drlscoll and P. K. Puckett
oflerred a motion lor dismissal on
grounds thai the allegations act
forth In the Indictment do not
constitute Uie crime of manslaugh
ter. District Attorney Frank Aldcrson
had finished Interrogating Dr.
Murray E. Robinson concerning a
bullet wound suffered by Crus Un
xuela, alleged victim of man
slaughter, when the defense law
yers asked dismissal of the charge
and release of the defendant.
Attorney Drlscoll pointed o u I
that an essential element of Ihe
charge of manslsughter had
been left out of the Indictment.
"Your honor." Drlscoll said, "The
statute states (hat In order to con
stitute Uie crime of manslaugh
ter the Indictment must state thst
Uie crime wsa committed 'In a
heat of passion caused by a pro
vocation apparenUy sufficient lo
make the passion Irresistible.' In
thla Indictment Uie part of Uie
charge which covers 'Irresistible
naaalon' has been left out. In It
place the word wllfull' hss been
Inserted."
Circuit Judge David R. Vanden
berg dismissed .Uie Jury, until 3
p.m. and ordered Alderson to pro
duce legal authority to refute Uie
defense motion.
In pressing for dismissal, Attor
ney Drlscoll told the court Uiat. If
the facts as set forth to the Indict
ment were proven, Uie defendant
would not be guilty of man
slaughter but another crime.
"Under the law," Drlscoll con
tinued, "such evidence would not
be admissible. All Uie prosecuUon
can prove Is manslaughter under
this Indictment. This Indictment Is
Inconsistent and Uie facta alleged
ounnot be proven under the niles
of evidence."
Carter Is charged with Uie gun
slaying of Uniuela, a Southern Pa
clflo railroad worker, in front of
Uie PasUme Pool Hall last Christ
mas Eve. He was indicted twice
for Uie crime. The first Indictment
was ruled defecUve by Judge Van

Northwest Lumber Strike
Closes Majority Of Mills
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The sprawling lumber Industry of
the Pacific Northwest was In but
not complete paralysis Tuesday.
There was little reported change
lther In spreading walkouts or
settlement offers from Monday
when the long-threatened strike
deadline arrived and thousands of
woods and mill workers walked out.
Employers and Uie two big un
ions, the CIO International Wood
workers (IWA) and Uie AFL Lum
ber and SawmUl Workers (LSWU),
were In disagreement on pay Uie
unions asking a 12 u-cent hourly
Increase and the big employers of
fering no Increase.
Oregon. Wsshington and North-
era California felt the greatest ef
fect of the strike, with fir opera
tions most seriously crippled.
Many Northern California, Nevada
and Oregon pine operations were
down, but Uie APL-LSQU which has
most of the Montana snd Idaho
workers did not extend the strike
thst far east.
A scattering of settlements was
recorted. some Just before the
strike started and some Just after
ward, but litUe optimism was taken
from these.
Instead, the large firms repeated
what they had said before: They
would not agree to higher costs.
At Shelton, Wash.. C. H. Bacon
Jr., vice president and general
manager of Uie huge Simpson lag
ging Co., put the attitude Into these
words: "We will not partici
pate now or at any time during the
progress of the strike In any settle
ment which establishes any cost
increase pattern. ... We will set
tle at any time on the basis of an
extension of Uie current contract
without a cost increase."
Disagreement between employers
and the unions extended Into how
manv men were on strike. Union
spokesmen estimated the number
at 103,000. Employers said 11 was
about 56.000.
Whichever It was. scores of big
operators were shut down there
was Longvlew, Wash., for example
with a population of 30,000 and
4.000 on strike at Weyerhaeuser,
Long-Bell and other plants.
But at least 70 fir mills, tne
AFL-LSWU recorted. continued to
operate In Western Oregon pend
ing either continued negotiations or
consideration of offers.
The blr Malarkev plywood oper
ations In Washington, Oregon and
California continued, company of
ficials reporting that they have a
separate contract which runs un
til June 30.
Reported settlement', offers
ranged around 7 h cents with some
at Uie full 13 '4 asked by the union.
Kenneth Davis, executive secretary
of the AFL Northwestern Council.
said any offer of 5 cents or over
would get consideration. Al Har
tung, president of the CIO-IWA,
said he thought It wouid be hard to
get workers interested now in ap
proving anything less than 12 Vj.
The basic minimum wage In the
old contract varies but Is generally
regarded as about $1.87 an hour.
By-Pass Plans
Announced
Only a very minor portion of
Uie new Veterans Memorial Park
will be used by Uie state highway
department (or the proposed West
side oy-pass, according to current
I plans of the department. '
oinjui rim canary reucjvea u
letter from R. H. Baldock of the
state highway department Monday
with a statement to this effect. The
letter was accompanied with a
map showing Uie present think
ing or the department with re
gard to the park, and suggested
a location for Uie pump house to
be constructed.
A special meeting of the park
board was called late Monday
morning, at which plans for con
struction of the pump house were
discussed.
Further development of the park
was almost halted some weeks
ago when Uie park board received
notification that new surveys be
ing made for the by-pass would
call most of the park Into use.
The state highway deoartment's
present thinking, outlined on the
map. shows a traffic route almost
parallel to Riverside Drive. The
route crosses the apple orchard
above Riverside 'iand extends to a
point just East of the present
Link River Bridge. A new di
vided bridge to be constructed at
that point will branch Into Klam
ath Avenue, for travel through Uie
city to Uie North Entrance, and
Into an overpass on Main Street,
continuing on a curve almost
parallel to present Conger Ave
nue. Conger will be moved slight
ly closer to Uie river, It the pres
ent thinking is realized.
This plan uses an area of the
park only about 100 feet wide from
Klamath Avenue to Main Street
the park area fronting Link River.

Tuesday to Sen. Margaret Chase
Smith of Maine for her lopsided
victory over Robert L. Jones In

Payne took the floor to say Mrs.

dous majority In the face of a

Des Moines
Braces For
High Water
DES MOINES 11 The greatest
flood crest In history rolled down
the Des Moines River Valley In
central Iowa today as the state
wide peril from marauding rivers
continued.
The only cheerful note In the
disastrous four-day-old floods was
a forecast of generally fair weather
for several days.
New rains in central Iowa yes
terday added to the flooding strain
on the Des Moines River. In the
northwest the Floyd River was ex
pected to crest for Uie second
time In three days at Sioux City
today.
More than 1,000 families were
homeless in Iowa and the number
was expected - to multiply. The
death toll was one lone drowning.
However, the loss was In prop
erty and rich farmland will total
millions of dollars.
The greatest ' threat was on the
Des Moines River, which cuts
through Uie heart of Iowa past
Fort Dodge, Boone and Into thla
capital city.
At Boone, 40 miles north of Des
Moines, the river was expected to
crest today at an all-time high of
23 leet, nearly four feet above
the previous record.
Des Moines' new levee system
will get Its first serious test when
a crest of 27 to 38 feet, four feet
above flood stage, strikes lata
Thursday. The previous record
stage was 37.3 feet in May 1903.
National Guard companies were
doing emergency duty at Fort
Dodge, Webster City and Boone,
where a battle to gave the water
works is being made.
At Sioux City a crest two feet
higher than the 20.8 level of Sun
day was expected today. The Floyd
rolled near the tops of levees but
officials were optimistic they would
hold. Trucks loaded with 3.000
sandbags stood by if a leak should
occur.
Another series of flood crests
surged down tributaries of the im
portant Cedar and Jowa rivers In
northeastern Iowa. Waterloo and
Cedar Rapids prepared for crests
later this week.
The Iowa office of the federal
Soli Conservation service estimates
725.000 acres of crop land has been
tinder water during; the last three
weeks from torrential rains. How
ever, this figure does not include
tne overuows or the last two days.
