(2 p.m., EST) to tell how—and why—the firm paid M. Boyle, Jr., Democratic chairman. The Senate investigation committee called as witness H. Stanhope, assistant tr who wrote the St. Louis p jury will have only the testimony of the court's psychiatrists. The defense counsel have indicated, however, that they will grill these experts exhaustively. For that reason, the insanity trial, instead of lasting only three days, as Judge Gardner estimated it should require, may run three weeks. It will be extended by two other factors. Since the murder trial has been dismissed time will be required to pick a new jury, possibly a week or more. Then the evidence at the first murder trial must be presented again in substance, to the new jury, according to District Attorney James L. Davis. Then the defense lawyers will try to trip up the three psychiatrists. Chula's statement after the murder verdict was announced yesterday was, "We have faith in the ultimate accomplishment of justice, as we see it. And the fact that this jury found Henry McCracken guilty in no way shakes our faith in the innocence of this man." District Attorney Davis, said, "I think we had a jury that was representative of the good citizenry of Orange county and I am very much pleased with its verdict." The first McCracken jury did not please Davis and he publicly expressed his displeasure with it. That jury, which found McCracken guilty of child-stealing, a 20-year penalty that probably will never be inflicted on him, also acquitted him on kidnapping and disagreed on the murder charge. That jury believed the talking dog story. The second jury did not. So Henry McCracken, the 34-year-old hillbilly guitar player, probably will enter the San Quentin gas chamber a few months hence. The talking dog will enter the museum of unnatural history already peopled by other fantastic court room characters. Meal Choppers, Taxi Drivers Stop Working PARIS (UP)—A lot of Parisians, and lingering tourists, walked more and ate less today for both taxi drivers and butchers are on strike. Not for pay hikes mind you. Some 11,000 taxi drivers began a 24-hour strike at 5 a.m. this morning in protest against a compulsory medical exam. City officials want to see if they're all fit to drive a car. The butchers are in the third day of an odd buyer's strike. They claim it isn't a strike, but it amounts to the same. They have refused to buy meat stocks at wholesale markets in protest against a government rollback of 10 per cent in retail meat prices. Since it's illegal to close food stores by striking, the butcher shops are open but most of them are empty. The French government had threatened to act against the butchers, but has done nothing, and it appeared at a loss what to do about balking taxi drivers. Only 25 per cent of the city's 2000 butchers were selling meat. Yesterday, the first day of required medical exams for drivers, only 41 of the 81 called showed up. City officials say 1948 statistics list 4089 accidents for 8500 cabs. If the strike doesn't bring action, the drivers say they will tie up Paris in a gigantic traffic jam. There was talk the government might break the butcher strike itself with meat bought by the army. Retail butchers argue they can't get by with a 10 per cent cut unless the wholesale price also is reduced. The government disputes this claim.

O'KANE'S CORSET and LINGERIE SHOP 117.W. Center St. Anaheim Phone Anaheim 6953 Robert Taft Lashed Out at State Department, Roosevelt and Harry ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP)—Sepator Taft (R-Ohio) said today American foreign policy in the present emergency can be justified only because of the "Russian threat." "The various programs into which we have been forced," he said in a speech prepared for a businessmen's luncheon, "should be re-examined the moment the Russian threat relaxes, and abandoned unless they are in accord with our permanent interests." Taft, chairman of the Senate Republican Policy committee, said current programs—such as defense alliances, economic and military aid to other free peoples, and extensive rearmament at home—do not avert the possible danger of war with Russia. But, he added, there seems to be "no alternative in view of the fanalical spirit of communism and the truculent manner in which Russia itself conducts its foreign policy." "We can only hope," he continued, "to keep our own foreign policy from unnecessarily provoking war which otherwise might not occur." Taft is on a speaking tour of several western states. He said he will outline his own foreign policy views for the present emergency in more detail in later speeches. Today, he confined his remarks to emphasizing a difference between the "fundamental purposes of our foreign policy in normal times and the emergency measures into which we are forced because of the Russian threat." He also took a poke at the State department which, he said, has "operated on a theory of expediency supported by propaganda." And, he accused Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Truman of putting "all kinds of political and policy considerations ahead of their interest in liberty and peace." "No foreign policy, either in the present emergency situation or in ordinary times," he said, "can be truly justified unless it is devoted without reservation or diversion of purpose to the protection of the liberty of the American people, with war as a last resort and only to preserve that liberty." WASHINGTON (AP) — Investigating Senators called officials of American Lithofold Corp. today 2 p.m., EST) to tell how much and why—the firm paid William M. Boyle, Jr., Democratic national chairman. The Senate investigations subcommittee called as witnesses W. Stanhope, assistant treasurer who wrote the St. Louis printing firm's checks; R. J. Blauner, its former general manager; and Recczgukgreen, its Washington representative. Boyle has said Lithofold paid him $1,250 for legal work which had no relationship to the $645,-100 of loans it got in 1949 from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, big government lending agency. The loans have been re-raided. Only As Commissions The St. Louis Post-Dispatch has said Boyle received $8,000 as commissions" after Lithofold got its loans. Senator Mundt (R-SD), a subcommittee member, told a reporter: "We're going to find out how much this company paid Bayle and some of his associates, and why they paid him. We're going to look into his relationship with the RFC in behalf of this company, already established in the testimony." The name of Boyle's Republican counterpart got into the investigation yesterday when Francis D. Flanagan, subcommittee counsel, announced he intends to call witnesses who will testify that Guy George Gabrielson, after becoming Republican National committee chairman, urged the RFC to modify terms of one of its loans. Loan to Hydrocol Flanagan said it was a $6,000,-000 loan to Carthage Hydrocol, Inc., the company, of which Gabrielson is president and general counsel, obtained three loans totaling $18,500,000 for a plant at Brownsville, Tex. They were obtained before Gabrielson became GOP chairman. The subcommittee also heard yesterday that Shirley Green, daughter of Lithofold's local reporter, WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate meets two hours early today (9 a.m. EST) to speed debate on a tax increase bill which is already three months' late by administration standards.

The subcommittee also heard yesterday that Shirley Green, daughter of Lithofold's local representative, was employed "in the president's office at the White House" while the Lithofold loans were being negotiated. At Ottawa, where she is now employed by the U.S. embassy, Miss Green said she "certainly had no connection" with the loans. The testimony about her came from E. Merl Young, a storm center in an earlier Senate investigation of the RFC. A Senate banking subcommittee last spring named Young as a main figure in an RFC influence ring which, it charged, had White House contacts. Minister's Plan Quietly Dropped NEW DELHI, India (AP)—Prime Minister Nehru's plan to call an Asian conference to sign a separate Japanese peace treaty has been quietly dropped in the wake of Indonesia's signing of the San Francisco treaty. A foreign office spokesman said today there is no meeting in sight soon to consider Japan or any other issues. He listed Indonesia's action as the chief reason for dropping the idea. Bill Through WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate meets two hours early today (9 a.m. EST) to speed debate on a tax increase bill which is already three months' late by administration standards. It is the third big tax hike to come before Congress since the Korean war began 15 months ago. Secretary of the Treasury Snyder proposed to the House Ways and Means committee last spring that the boosts on personal income levies and excises go into effect by July 1. But Senator George (D-Ga), in his opening statement on the bill late yesterday, said Nov. 1 was the earliest possible effective date for the increases in these two taxes. George said when the bill becomes law the federal government will be collecting about $67,000,-000,000 a year in taxes—or $21,-000,000,000 more than at the World War II peak. According to Congressional staff experts, the Senate Finance committee's bill will raise about $5,-506,000,000 annually in new revenue. George puts the figure higher—at close to $6,000,000,000. The bill passed by the House, drastically changed by the Senate group, was estimated to raise $7,-200,000,000. President Truman asked for a $10,000,000,000 tax hike. He said this sum was needed to balance the budget and fight inflation. Senate leaders and some Finance committee members predicted the Finance committee's version would go through its floor ordeal without serious change.

Changed Cal-Vet Laws Pointed Out By VA Official Veterans and their dependents in Orange county who are interested in state farm or home financing, educational assistance, tax exemption and certain other "Cal-Vet" benefits are reminded by Bill Winterboirne, assistant county service officer, that a number of new state laws affecting these programs go into effect on Sept. 22. Veterans of the Korean conflict are made eligible on the same basis as other veterans for some of the state benefits by certain of the new laws. He summed up the principal changes in and additions to the state laws affecting veterans as follows: Korean conflict veterans—May now qualify for low-interest "Cal-Vet" farm or home financing and for state civil service preference. They may also be granted the veterans $1000 property tax exemption upon application next spring. Higher "Cal-Vett" Loans—the Department of Veterans Affairs may now advance up to $8500 on a home or $15,000 on a farm, instead of previous maximums of $7500 and $13,500, respectively. The home may now have an appraised valuation as high as $11,-500 and the farm as high as $16,-500 and still be eligible; previous valuation ceilings were $10,000 and $15,000, respectively. Educational assistance—The $40 month subsistence allowance paid to "Cal-Vet" students may now be raised to $50, to permit the student to buy necessary books and supplies. The over-all maximum expenditure of $1000 for one veteran has not been changed, however. Exemption filing by mail—When the next tax exemption filing period opens in March, 1952, veterans who have filed in person at least once may henceforth do so by mail. GOP Shoots Back Hot Retort at Democrat's Boast WASHINGTON (P)—A Democrat's assertion President Truman "can beat anybody" at the polls in 1952 brought Republican retorts today that the GOP presidential nominee will win if he wages a fighting campaign. And a Republican's prediction that Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower will be "available" for the party's nomination evoked from Senator Brewster (R-Me) the statement that Eisenhower is "now more than ever the indispensable man in Europe." Brewster is plugging Senator Taft (R-Ohio) for the nomination. Edward J. Flynn, Democratic national committeeman from New York, said after a White House call yesterday that Mr. Truman could defeat any opponent next year, including Eisenhower. At the capitol a bit later, Harry Darby, Kansas Republican national committeeman, said of Eisenhower: Eat More Callfornia Oranges Anaheim JC Plans For Hallowe'en Organization of Anaheim Junior Chamber of Commerce to do its part in organizing the Hallowe'en Festival parade in Anaheim was worked out last night when the club held its regular dinner meeting at Pat's Drive-In cafe.

An invitation to local Jaycees to attend the meeting of JC District 8 at the Turf Club, Rivera, Oct. 1, was reported by Dr. Hollingsworth. The Rivera club will host the meeting.

Exemption filing by mail—When the next tax exemption filing period opens in March, 1952, veterans who have filed in person at least once may henceforth do so by mail. Winterbourne said there was no change this year in the law governing state educational assistance to widows and children of deceased servicemen and veterans whose death was due to wartime military service. A special session enactment in 1950 had already extended this benefit to Korean war survivors. Information on these and other state benefits for veterans and their dependents is available at the County Service Office, 225 N. Broadway, Santa Ana.
