Vandenberg began his lengthy und involved charge to the jury. Bitterness that had developed, throughout the week and exploded Friday morning subsided to some extent that afternoon. AI'T Dis trict Attorney Arthur Beddoe pre sented his opening argument and Freeman Murray spoke for the defense, David Card concluded de le nse argument in a statement that lasted nearly an hour. Card maintained Beddoe had al lowed his pride to get in his way and was unable to see Joseph as a man who had shot Harry Deman in self defense the defense con tention. "lie originally beard all the wit nesses and he took their words lor it," Card said. "He decided it was lirsl degree murder and he closed his mind to anything else." Card maintained the delense had successfully refuted testimony giv en by F.vans Kenlio and Melvin Murch, two star stale witnesses, and he bitterly criticized the role of Clnloquin Police Chief Lewis Jones. "They ought to tear the badge ofl Ia'w Jones." Card insisted. He closed his argument by tell ing the jury ot t:ve women and eight men that Joseph insisted either on acquittal or conviction of first degree murder as charged "lie doesn't want to be behind bars for one dav ." Card said Beddoe followed for his linal argument. He lold the jury that only one thing mattered whether Joseph had planted the knives on Deman's body and on Okie Rich ards' body, as the state maintained. Both Deman and Richards were killed with shots from a :tO-:tt ri fle on the Delhert Lang Ranch near Clnloquin September 20. Jo- eph has never denied the killings. but said he shot in self defense because both victims attacked him will) knives. stand. "In order for you to believe what Michael Joseph said trom this stand." Beddoe told the jurors, "you would have to disbelieve ev ery state's witness and about half ihe defense witnesses. Think about it. Think about it." The district attorney referred again to the successful defense charge lhat shorthand notes read by his secretary, Mrs. Ruth Kri dcr. were not the original notes of Joseph's statement. The dramatic disclosure first developed when .Murray placed Leslie Robertson on the stand and asked whether the notes State's Exhibit Z were tak en under stress of dictation. "As for Mr. Rubertson," Beddoe said, "I owe that man an apology. He knew exactly what he was talking about, and I didn't. I was astounded by il. I don't think there's much else lo say about it." Beddoe closed by calling the death of Deman "a cold-blooded, vicious, brutal slaying." The jury had been in session from alter 10 a.m. until 2:40 p.m. when they were taken to lunch. Af ter their return at 4:45 p.m. Card made two motions for the delense. (fne would remove Kxhibits V and Z the controversial transcript and the shorthand notes from evi- oence. the judge reminded him lhat the court itself had withdrawn Ihe notes, and allowed the tran script to remain. Card's other mo tion sought a dismissal of the in dictment, release of Joseph, and a directed verdict of acquittal. II was promptly denied, as was a similar delense motion earlier in the two-week trial after the stale had rested its case. It was 4:5.1 p.m. when all tests-1 mony and arguments had been beard, and Judge Vandenberg be gan his familiar . . . "Members ot the jury, it now becomes my duty to instruct you on the prin ciples of the law . , ." Thus one of Klamalli County s must remarkable and controvct sial trials went to a jury. It's Said To Be Healthier To Shed Garters, Girdles NEW YORK AP - Ladies, shed your garters and girdles. It's healthier. That's the advice today from Dr. William T. Foley of Cornell University. He believes that modern cloth ing can lead to harmful and perhaps fatal blood clots in the human circulatory system. Both garters and girdles stymie the normal flow of blood, he told a symposium of blood clotting held by the Sloan-Ketlcring Insti tute for cancer research. Stagnant blood tends to form clots, he. said, and circular gar ters act as tourniquets on the flow of blood in the legs, tending to stagnate Ihe blood in the leg The girdles that women wear just aren't designed for sittin down.

U.S., British Views On Nuclear Testing Given By AP Reporter WASHINGTON 'AP - In a move lo avoid a U.S. -British split. President Kisenhower is reported ready to agree with Prime Min ister Harold Maemillan on a short term ban against small under ground nuclear weapons lest as pari of a package deal wilh Ihe Soviet I'nion. Maemillan is flying in Washing- Ion from London Saturday (or talks wilh Ihe President at Camp Dav id. Md.. beginning Monday. Sec retary of Slate Christian Her ter met Ihe Prime Minister on his arrival at Andrews Air Force base at 7 p.m. Saturday night. .Maemillan is expected to urge conditional acceptance of a Soviet proposition lor a nuclear lesl con trol treaty plus an indefinite mor atorium on small underground scientific research on development of a detection system which would be effective in discovering any cheating against the ban on small weapons explosions. It was the lack of an effective detection sys tem which caused Kisenhower in February lo propose lo Britain and the Soviet Union that only the larger underground explosions ind those in the water and air. which are more easily delectable, be prohibited by formal treaty. 3. International inspectors sta tioned in each country under the proposed treaty would be empow ered to investigate suspicion of even small underground explo sions in deliance of the moratorium even though these were not covered in the treaty. 4.

Maemillan, on the other hand. has been under pressure lo agree lo (he moratorium if lhat is es sential lo bring a hall In all other testing. Herter told a news conlerence Friday thai within Ihe U.S. gov ernment agreement has been reached on a position which will be presented to Maemillan. "Clearly, if we are going lo dis cuss it with Mr. Maemillan," he said, "we are not going lo an nounce il until after we have dis cussed wilh him his position, to see to what extent our two posi tions arc reconciled." Ilerler did. however, indicate lhat the United Stales has in mind Mime counterproposal to the So viet Inion in three-power negotia tions under way at Geneva. He declined lo say lhat the Soviet proposition is fully acceptable, or completely unacceptable, then idvled: "I think you can gather sions, then each of the powers should have the right to review Us position under the moratorium and determine whether the ar rangement should be continued. The compromise agreement worked out wilhin Ihe administra tion apparently means that the President decided that the United Stales could risk delaying a re sumption of tesls for at least a year hcyond next fall.

ANDERSON keeps new Stearns School in the South Suburban area in shape for 250 youngsters or more. He and others like him are indispensable to local life, Stearns School Custodian Enjoys Climate In Klamath He spent 3'i years aboard a de stroyer both in the Atlantic and Pacific during the war. Thereaf ter, he went to work as an appren tice stonemason for a local firm, Ihcn went into business for him self. "I'm never going back to Ohio to live." said Anderson. He likes Ihe temperate climate here, in particular. He has returned to his native stale on several occasions, but has not done so for a long time. Anderson and his wife, Beth, live at 4549 Uomedale Road. One of their daughters, Judy Purser, is a junior at Klamath Union High School. The other, Mrs. Pat Be henke, lives with her husband at Sweet Home. Mrs. Anderson operates Ander son's Office Service, a private em ployment agency, in Klamath Falls. He likes lo fish and hunt. Like every Basin resident so far inter viewed, he works hard, enjoys life, has a spouse and family and home, and can onlv be classed ac a solid ! local citizen. By NORM CARDOZA Robert H. Anderson pushes a bloom at Stearns School near Uomedale Road, and he also makes three runs a day in a bus deh'vering youngsters. All in all, he is a busy man and doesn't have much lime lo lean on his broomhandlc as he did for a photographer in the picture above. Anderson gets some help in his custodian's chores from a part time janitor, but most of the work is his. He likes the job. for he works wilh children and it offers year around income. Anderson started in December. Rclore that, he was a stonemason locally, but the work was season al and consequently his income was undependable. When he came lo Klamath Falls from Findlay, Ohio, with his par ents in 1934. he was fresh out of well.
