Bucket of Jewels Good for Mansion SYOSSET, N. Y. (EP)—Former King Zog of Albania has bought a sumptuous 60-room mansion on a 95-acre estate here on the north shore of Long Island. He may go in for farming on the side. The exiled monarch is expected to move here with his family and a retinue of servants. There is talk that "a bucket of diamonds and rubles" was the purchase price. But there is no official confirmation. Ex-King Zog has been living in England and other countries since 1929, when the Italians occupied his small nation. He would have been permitted to take the jewels out of England, although he could take out only a limited amount of cash under present restrictions. Trustees of the estate and representatives of the purchaser said yesterday the exiled monarch inspected the estate a few days ago and was impressed with the farming facilities, among other things. The estate—called Knollwood was developed about 40 years ago by Charles S. McVeigh, Sr., New York city lawyer, and later went into other hands.

"If I ask for anything less than that, I would feel that I fell far short of my duty." Defense Counsel George Chula, in his closing argument to the jury, argued that McCracken told the truth when he said Patty Hull died of an accidental fall in his motel cabin at Buena Park. A child of the mental age of nine years and eight months, as McCracken had been described, could not tell the same story at both trials, as McCracken did, without becoming confused, Chula argued. Chula showed bitterness when he declared that "all witnesses in this case, even my own, are prosecution witnesses. It isn't popular to testify for the defense; you might incur the wrath of the citizens." He accused prosecution of forcing him to call witnesses antagonistic to the defense in order to get their testimony and he accused these witnesses of hedging in their testimony. Coroner Earl R. Abbey, said Chula, "gave weasel answers." Judge Gardner had considered calling a night session yesterday to get the case before the jury, but let the jury itself decide. Members of the jury, by a show of hands, voted to wait until this morning.

The meeting, scheduled for 6:30 o'clock at the Santa Ana YMCA, will receive from Detrich a detailed account of the part Orange county will play in providing welfare services if Long Beach and Los Angeles are atom-bombed. He is expected to present plans asking this area to furnish emergency shelter, clothing and other items for the 40,000 persons whom experts believe would flee in this direction following an enemy attack. Detrich also is expected to explain the state's OCD welfare services program and its requirement or organization and planning on a countywide rather than on a municipal basis.

The divorced parents of little Billy Cunningham, nine, were in court yesterday, the father seeking to win custody of the boy from the mother. She has had custody under court order since 1947. Billy told Superior Judge William R. McKay he loves them both. It was up to Judge McKay to decide which parent he should live with. The boy came here June 30 to visit his father, William E. Cunningham, 32, a local auto club employee. Cunningham said he bought Billy a bicycle, a practice basketball board, and gave him music lessons. "I devote myself entirely to Billy, he said. The mother, Mrs. Alice W. Cunningham, 27, a $700 a month New York City model, said she has a three-bedroom apartment a block from Central Park and her whole life revolves around her son. “This is one of the major tragedies of divorce,” Judge McKay said. “It is unfortunate that the court can't have it so the son will be with both parents... It's only a question of equities.” troops. Yanggu is eight miles north of Parallel 38 and 35 miles inland from the Korean east coast. To the east, Allied units halted two smaller red attacks.

Addressing the united rubber,ork, linoleum and plastic workers of America convention, Jack Kroll said; "Senator Taft is the implacable enemy of our movement, of all labor movements. We can have open shop again if we are not careful. It that happened, you delegates would not be arraining about a few cents more dues in month. You'd be spending millions defending your organization." Kroll urged his listeners to take an active part in the coming political campaign, in which he said "every garbage can in every valley will be inspected in a search or filth to throw at labor. Nothing will be too vicious, too dirty to throw at the CIO." FJC Recruiting New Band Members What football game is complete without the color and stirring music of a band?

Wishes To Announce The Opening Of The New Carson Veterinary Clinic At 11755 East Carson Street (Carson & Pioneer) TOrrey 5-1117 Artesia, Calif. SACRAMENTO (AP) — A state-wide study committee is going to try to come up with an answer to the knotty problem of equalizing assessments for property taxation. Formation of the group was approved late yesterday by the State Board of Equalization. Members will be appointed by Chairman James H. Quinn, Oakland. A resolution offered by State Controller Thomas H. Kuchel, a member of the Equalization Board, calls for representation on the committee from all levels of government—state, county, city and district—and from the League of California Cities and the County Supervisors association. The question of assessment equalization was brought to a head by the board in the summer when it found that the ratio of assessed value to market value of property ranges from 24 to 46 per cent in California's 58 counties. The average was 40 per cent. Later, after a legal hassle, the Briton's Worried Over Tired King LONDON UP—Worried serious speculated today on King George VI illness as they waited for more details on the lung disease affecting the 55-year-old monarch. Starting at dawn, London news stands did a land-office business as commuters snatched papers carrying headlines like "Serious News" and "King's Lung Is Affected." Little knots of early risers gathered at the gilt-spiked fence in front of Buckingham palace. They hoped to get an early morning bulletin on the king's condition. Doctors for the tired monarch disclosed last night that "structural changes have developed" in one of his lungs, indicating a serious allment. A medical bulletin last night gave no explanation of the condition. Nine doctors signed the bulletin, including a tuberculosis specialist. A London lung specialist—not one of the nine examining the king—said "structural changes" can mean any of several lung diseases. He said the wording of the bulletin "suggests the doctors are not sure what is the whole trouble." Several London newspapers demanded today that King George VI's subjects be told more about his illness. A wave of concern swept the nation on the heels of a medical bulletin from the king's doctors reporting cryptically that "structural changes" have occurred in one of his lungs. The king had no public engagements today but was reported to be up and around at Buckingham palace. Outside, a small crowd FJC Names Cast, Begins Rehearsals On Annual Fall Play Carving was complete and rehearsals began Monday, Sept. 17, under direction of Alex Omalev, drama instructor for "Stage Door," annual fall play at Fullerton junior college. "Stage Door" tells the story of the struggle upward of a young actress, Terry Randall, and the sorrows and joys of the girls in a boarding house for young actresses. The cast includes 20 roles for women and only four for men. Playing the leading role of Terry Randall will be Liz Robbins. Supporting actresses are Joyce Shunk, Jane Patterson, Florence Rowland, Marylin Hatch, Pat Sullivan, Joan Spencer, Roberta Allen, Darlene Bergman, Diane Jabe, Nevelyn Owen, Janet Spear, Jo Burdick, Rosemary Nagy, Joyce Enloe, Janis Macosky, Nancy Bates, Alice Ufholtz, Anna Low Daly, and Lee Wood. Cast in the male roles are John King, Don Padgett, Jim Kruger and Dan Swift. Opening for a long run on Broadway in 1936, with Margaret Sullivan in the lead, "Stage Door" has since entertained many audiences in little theater and amateur productions. The play was successfully produced as a motion picture starring Katherine Hepburn and Ginger Rogers in leads. "Stage Door" ranks with the better American plays and with "All About Eve" as one of the best stories portraying theatrical life," says Omalev.
