The plane took off at 9:50 a.m. and Musick expected to deliver his prisoner at San Quentin by 1 p.m. How long he would remain there became a question today, as officials and attorneys considered a decision just handed down by the California supreme court in a Shasta county murder case, in which the conviction was reversed by the high court because a change of venue had been refused. McCracken’s attorneys, George Chula and James Monroe, had battled for a change of venue in Washington Goes All Out to Greet Princess Elizabeth WASHINGTON (UP)—Official Washington put on its best bib and tucker today to greet Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh. And in spite of possible showers, thousands of men and women in the street planned to join in the capital’s televised welcome for the British royal couple on their first visit to the United States. President and Mrs. Truman and their daughter Margaret headed the list of government officials, foreign diplomats and other dignitaries meeting Elizabeth and her blond, handsome husband on their arrival by plane from Montreal at 4 p.m. (EST). Television and radio networks set up coast-to-coast coverage of the event. A. 21-gun salute was to touch off a rapid-fire succession of receptions, dinners and other ceremonies for the royal visitors. The first: a reception by some 900 news correspondents as soon as the couple had a chance to freshen up and sample American-style tea. Elizabeth and Philip are guests of the President at Blair House during their 45-hour visit. Tonight at 8 p.m. (EST) there’s a presidential dinner—very formal, limited to about 20 guests because of cramped dining space in the Truman family’s temporary residence. The gold table service, and the blue-bordered china bought by Franklin D. Roosevelt, will be used.

(UP)—Former actress Marion Davies was married in a surprise ceremony early today to Horace G. Brown, skipper of a military transport ship. The blonde, blue-eyed ex-star gave her age as 45 and said it was her first marriage. Brown, 46, was divorced from Mrs. Grace M. Brown, former wife of singer Lawrence Tibbet, in 1947.

Yesterday's spectacular blast third in a series being conducted at the Atomic Energy Commission's Yucca Flat test site north of here, was unlike anything ever seen before. It had a dual action. The fourth explosion, scheduled for tomorrow, is expected to launch operation Desert Rock, which combines Army maneuvers with a nuclear detonation. "It cannot yet be accurately determined how much different this blast was scientifically," a source Weather Forecast For November LOS ANGELES (UP)—If you're wondering what November weather will be like in Southern California, here's a summarized forecast: Uniform maximum temperatures in the 70-80 range. Wind in the desert before storms. Light rain with storms. Wind in coastal valleys after storms. Cool nights after the wind subsides. If the air following storms is not too cold, fog will appear along the beaches. Chief Forecaster A. K. Schowalter also said November is the beginning of the dry northeast monsoon season. That's the situation when desert temperatures become cooler, but barometer readings are higher than along the coast. The monsoon winds zip through mountain passes into intermediate and coastal valleys, driving Masters Cause for Police police put in a busy 24 signs indicate an even night to come. 10 last night Hallowers began celebrating at "trick - no treat" breaking an oil pump L Service station at Angeles St. At 1 a.m. An ancient car were the scene of a front at the high school.
