Thus lightly did a 35-year-old Man Waives Jury Trial Delbert Stewart, 28 year old ranch worker, charged with rob bing blind man, Wednesday ln- oicated he doesn't have too much faith in juries. When he entered a plea of not guilty to a charge of burglary at a newsstand operated by Artnur (Blind Pete) Jones, the defend ant's attorney, George Proctor, pe titioned the court for trial with out a jury. After interrogating Stewart to make certain he understood his constitutional right to a trial by jury. Circuit Judge David R. Van denberg agreed to the defendant's request. The trial was set for Sep tember 28.

Myrick, who was reported to have failed to click . in Klamath Basin night spots, is accused of prowling an automobile in the downtown section and stealing clothing and a typewriter.

Judge Van Vactor set a preliminary hearing for September 23, B-47 navigator from Texas dismiss Je thought that tne U.S. Air Force Survival Training School here is subjecting Its students to inhum an physical and mental ordeals. A controversy has been going on of late as to whether Air Force efforts to make combat crewmen immune to Communist brainwash ing techniques have gone too far toward the side of "torture." "Hell," said the Major, "I knew It wouldn't last long. I knew the swearing and the cracks at my wlf were just meant to make mc mad And I- knew the whole idea was to help me out If I ever ran Into the real thing. "Under the circumstances," he added, "you certainly couldn't call It torture." Nevertheless, Base Commander Burton E. McKenzie, who Inherited this Job two months ago, is think ing of ditching some phases of the training program until he gets new directives Irom Washington. The controversial phases the realistic Interrogation of students by members of the head stalf es pecially trained for the Job con stitute only a small part oi uie trairtig program here. They have to do with President Elsenhower's Code for American Servicemen who may become pris oners of war. Under this Code, U.6. POWs must at all costs pro tect Information, disclosure of which might Jeopardize their mil itary units and the security of the United States. The Air Force is preparing new training procedures to Implement the Code. To helo the combat aircrews who may some day have to live up to this code, the Air Force at Stead has been trying to give crew members from bases all over the country an Idea of what they may expect If they ever get snot aown In war over Communist territory. The way this Is done is to ape in mock Interrogations the methods and physical practices wnicn nave been employed In the past by enemy nations. Som. 40 reporters, TV-newsreel cameramen, and newspaper pho tographers from both coasts were Invited to 8tead yesterday for what was described as "an open iook at the training methods used here. They saw the "interrogation shacks" c o m p 1 e t e with bright lights and electric shock machines and out of this world walls so planned as to Induce physical and mental giddiness. -They saw the sweatbox a verti cal coffin used by Rumania in World War II. They saw the hori zontal coffin a shallow and nar row trench with a rock bottom. They saw "the hole" a circular pit eight feet deep and two and a half feet across in which U.S. POWs In Korea have spent months. They also saw a POW compound xactly like the kind you have seen In photographs and war mo viesand they saw, while TV cameras hummed, a mock-brutal herding of prisoners into the stock ade by snarling captors in foreign battle dress.
