VOLUME LXXX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANA Recess Halts Green Trial With virtually all of the prosecution's evidence already presented, the preliminary hearing of Mrs. Cordella Green, 23, Costa Mesa mother charged with murder in connection with the death of her four-month old daughter, today recessed until Thursday in Santa Ana Justice court. The delay in the hearing resulted from demands by Public Defender N. D. Meyer that the complete statement alleged to have been made in typewritten form to the sheriff's office by Mrs. Green following her arrest should be introduced in evidence. The prosecution had declined to produce the statement at the preliminary hearing and centered its case in the testimony of Deputy Sheriff Gilbert Klima, relating to admissions alleged to have been made by Mrs. Green that she had beaten her little girl when annoyed by her crying. The child died in the county hos- Greyhound Strike Ends with Boost SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The four-day old strike of Greyhound bus drivers in seven western states was settled tentatively today on the basis of a 10 per cent wage increase. Federal conciliator said the agreement must first be ratified by the 3800 striking drivers and station employees, before the walkout officially ends. He said if the new contract is approved by the workers, bus operations probably will be resumed by 5 a.m., Friday. Hoskins said union leaders emerged from peace talks this morning, unanimously urging that the accord be approved by the strikers. Phone Repairmen Turn Network Blue DENVER (AP) — Radio Station KMYR gave its listeners an unscheduled lecture on telephone wiring yesterday, couched in language on which the Federal Communications commission frowns. Frank White had just started his last plano number when a strange voice broke in. "X?!XX&! These Zi??$ wires always give me fits. I've worked on 'em before and I know how tough it is to fix them." Studio executives tore their hair and called for engineers. A second mystery voice joined the conversation. Female workers blushed. Police Reveal Full Facts in Shooting, Suicide Los Angeles police today unraveled the details of the death of Loy Allen, 27, who engaged in a blazing muzzle-to-muzzle gunfight in a car in Vernon before he drove to an orange grove west of Anaheim Sunday and took his own life by asphyxiation. The gunfight which took place in Vernon not only resulted in a suicide's grave for Allen but sent Lee Gore, 50, of Vernon to the hospital. Allen's body was discovered by Chris W. Myers, 11541 Hansen rd., sprawled in the front seat of a car parked in Myers' orange grove. Gore, told police yesterday that Allen pulled a gun and tried to rob him as Gore was driving Allen home early Sunday morning. Gore said he grabbed his own gun and Allen fired five shots, hitting him in the mouth, hand and knee. Gore wounded Allen superficially in the head and hand. Vernon Police Chief Ernest Giles said Allen fled from the car and later was found dead in his own car. A hose had been attached to the exhaust pipe and brought in through the window. Police listed the death as suicide. Despite his wounds, Gore blinked his headlights and finally attracted a police car's attention.

These Z!!$ wires always give me fits. I've worked on 'em before and I know how tough it is to fix them." Studio executives tore their hair and called for engineers. A second mystery voice joined the conversation. Female workers blushed. The uncensored conversation went on for eight minutes before the trouble was tracked down: two telephone company workers were repairing wiring in a seldom-used portion of the studio. They tapped into the station's transmission lines, and their small phones acted as microphones, broadcasting every word they said. Station executives said the main switch wasn't thrown because engineers were working on a new transmitter and tower, not yet in operation. White's chief worry was that "a lot of nice old grandmothers listen to my show—and I don't think they liked what they heard."

It was shown with the filing of her will in superior court. Vernon Police Chief Ernest Giles sald Allen fled from the car and later was found dead in his own car. A hose had been attached to the exhaust pipe and brought in through the window. Police listed the death as suicide. Despite his wounds, Gore blinked his headlights and finally attracted a police car's attention. He was taken to Mission hospital, where his condition was reported "good" last night. Gore, owner of a check-cashing stand, said Allen had come in to his stand late Saturday night and asked him for a lift home. Gore said they had stopped at an intersection when Allen demanded his money, and the shooting began.
