By LY1.K DOWNING A new offensive In the battle of the court house was launched Hulurduy alter a petition lor a wrli of habcaa corpus was filed In circuit court In sn attempt to tree an alleged sex offender from the county Jail. Attorney U. S- Bulcntlne, counsel for Curl Zumwalt, through the habeas corpus writ, for the second time In a week has challenged the prosecution methods of District At torney Frank Aidorson. When Alderson filed five motions disqualifying Circuit Judfe Dsvld R. Vsndenberg to try criminal cases hi Klamath County and asked for a substitute judge, Bslentlne filed an oppolng melon In one case on which the state aupreme court ruled In his fsvor, that being the Tobe Carter case. In his latest attack on the dis trict attorney, Balenllne claims that Zumwslt, arrested with a husband snd wife, Russell and Florence Anderson, on contributing to the delinquency of a minor charges. Is being Illegally held In the county Jail. Judge Vandenberg, who Is en gaged In a bitter controversy with Guatemala Junta Plans Conference GUATEMALA (Al Rebel leader Col. Carlos Castillo Armas planned to fly to this welcome-geared capi tal today to discuss his role tn Ouatemala'a new anti-Communist government. But dissatisfaction in the ranks of the lesder's "Libera tion Army" dimmed the triumph oi tne occasion. CaatUlo acknowledged at hut Chi. qulmula headquarters yesterday that "most of my men are not sat isfied with the agreement reached tn San Salvador." The peace pact, signed with Col. Elfego Monxon in the capital of neighboring El Sslvsdor, patched together a five-man Junta. Monxon waa allowed to remain on as gov ernment chief until the junta elect ed a permanent head In 15 days. It was not known whether Mon xon also planned to return to the Guatemalan capital today. ' Both colonels were expected back yesterday, and Ouatemala put on a big fiesta to welcome them. The celebration, starting out gaily with popping fireworks- and clanging church bells, ftszled out as the two men failed to show up. Castillo flew back to Chlqulmuls to explain the San Salvador settle ment to his disappointed aides snd preps re his troops for entry into the capital. He told reporters In Chlqulmuls his top subordinates hsd wanted to push ahead with the rebellion until the Guatemalan army sur rendered unconditionally. He ssid, however, he wss satisfied with the settlement ending the two-week re volt because it was victory over the Reds. "I am entirely sure," he sdded, "the junta will eliminate the Com munists." Castillo expressed confidence his followers "all will stay with me" although the conference with Mon xon "wss not entirely decisive." The rebel chief ssld he would keep his troops In resdlness until "we make arrangements" on the politi cal front. Writ Alderson, over legal procedures, sinned sn order for a writ of ha beas corpus In the Zumwalt case. He act 10 a.m. next Wednesday for s hearlr.fi on the writ. As grounds for the habeas cor pus writ Balenllne contends there was no testimony st a hearufg Fri day before District Judjre D. E. Van Vuctor on which the court could legally hold Zumwalt to an swer to the grand Jury. JudKe Van Vactor ordered Zum walt and Mrs. Anderson held for the gi and Jury under 12,000 bond. Anderson earlier waived prelimi nary heiring and he also is held In the county Jail pending grand Jury action. PROOP LACKING In support ol his petition, Balen llne also contends that the district attorney failed to prove venue In the case. He aaya there was noth ing in the testimony at the pre liminary hearing to ahow the al leged crime was committed In Klamath County. The defense lawyer also pointed out thst the prosecution charged Zumwalt with wilfully contributing to the delinquency of a minor but that It was shown during the pre liminary hearing that Zumwalt was unaware of the presence of the child. Police say Mrs. Ander son wss scting ss a prostitute and she and Zumwalt engaged in "lewd and lascivious conduct" In the presence of the women's 13-year-old son. Anderson is described as a procurer for his wife. Questioned Saturday about an In terview with a Portland newspaper man. District Attorney Alderson ssld he wss accurately quoted to the effect that he knew of no rea son why he should resign. -HAD CONFERENCE Alderson also said It waa re ported correctly that he once con ferred with Attorney Oeneral Ro bert Y. Thornton concerning th possibility of the state providing hup, with a special deputy to aid H in his work. Recently the oeunty budget committee . earmarked 3.600 anhually for a special dep uty in the district attorney's omce A lawyer could not be found who would accept the job; Friday afternoon Alderson lost another esse when a Jury- In Judge Vandenberg's court acquitted Clyde Durkee, dry cleaning plsnt em ploye, who hsd been indicted on a charge of contributing to the de linquency of a minor. Conflicting testimony by state witnesses was, testimony ov state wiuic&sca wu blamed for the failure of the pro - aecullon to prove Its case. Durkee was defended by Attorney Oeorge Proctor, Cordon In Line For New Post PORTLAND ifl Son. Ouy Cordon (R-Ore) apparently Is in line for the chairmanship of the Senate Interior and Insular Af fairs Committee. The vacancy was crested by the death Thursday night of Sen. Hugh Butler (R-Neb). Sen. Eugene Millikin (R-Colo) Is the ranking Republican committee member but since MUllkln is chair man of the Finance Committee and since Senate custom opposes one man holding two chairmanships, Cordon appears to be next in line. fcordon has been acting chair man of the committee on several occasions. He held that post during hearings on the tldelands oil bill and the Alaska and Hawaii state hood bills. Fourth Of July Memories Of By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Throughout the nation tills week end.
