Anaheim Gazette TUESDAY, APRIL 15, 1928 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Wanger Shooting Case in Court Today; Judge to Decide Case SANTA MONICA (P) — The Walter Wanger shooting case, which Hollywood expected would produce some sizzling courtroom testimony, goes to court today—but there’ll be no sensations. Prosecution and defense attorneys agreed yesterday to let a judge decide the 57-year-old producer’s fate on the basis of testimony before the grand jury. The county grand jury indicted Wanger, one of filmland’s most respected moviemakers, last Dec. 18 on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to commit murder. Five days earlier in a Beverly Hills parking lot, while his wife, actress Joan Bennett, looked on, Wanger shot her agent, Jennings Lang, 39. Lang was seriously wounded in the groin but is now up and around again. Wanger said he did it because Lang “broke up my home.” Miss Bennett and Lang said their relationship was strictly business. Lang, Miss Bennett and 10 other persons had been subpoenaed by the prosecution to testify in what was expected to be a bitter, lengthy trial. Now there will be no testimony. Superior Judge Harry J. Borde will read the grand jury transcript and decide the case, probably within two weeks. There was no indication that the transcript would be read publicly. The proceedings will start at 9:30 a.m. (Pacific Standard time). Wanger, who if convicted could be sentenced to from one to 14 years in prison, pleaded innocent and innocent by reason of temporary instability. His attorney, ace criminal lawyer, Jerry Glesler, said yesterday the insanity plea will be withdrawn. He added that he will plead with the court, to reduce the charge to assault with a deadly weapon, a lesser offense for which the penalty would probably be a jail sentence. There have been numerous reports that the movie industry...

Reluctant Fliers Face Trial for Disobedience SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. (AP)—At least four—and possibly more—of the officers who have defied Air Force authorities by refusing to fly are scheduled to be tried by court-martial. Formal charges of wilful disobedience of a lawful order have been filed against four of the six reserve officers engaged in a "sit down strike" at Randolph Air Force base, Texas. A decision on whether charges will be filed against six other officers involved in a similar case at Mather AFB, Calif., awaits completion of an investigation. Captain Jerome Schechter of Springfield, N.J., one of the six at Mather AFB, said he had rather go to prison than to fly. In an interview yesterday in California, the 35-year-old Schechter said "this fear of flying is something that I've felt for a long time and has culminated since I came to Mather." The air training command, which has headquarters here, has he said. "Then I noticed the top half of my canopy had been blown away. That's when I really started shaking." Lurie, veteran of 67 combat missions over North Korea, has a wife, Alleen, and two sons, Robert, 9, and David, 5, who live at 2010 Orange ave., Santa Ana.

Peiping Radio said last night the U.N. command had advised the reds it was not ready to take up again the conferences on how to exchange prisoners of war. The reds proposed Sunday that the talks be resumed. These were recessed April 4 to permit both sides to work separately on possible solutions. The reds had insisted on forced repatriation of prisoners. The Allies demanded the right of choice for each prisoner. There has been some indication the two parties in off-the-record meetings prior to April 4 worked out a secret formula for exchanging prisoners and that the Allies are reworking their list of prisoners to bring it in line with the formula. The two truce supervision issues—Russia's role in post-armistice Korea and the question of rebuilding North Korean military airfields—are considered open to solution once agreement is reached on the critical prisoner exchange problem. The Allies want a ban on military airfield reconstruction and oppose red nomination of Russia as a neutral truce observer. The last five meetings on truce supervision have taken up four minutes in all. Tuesday's dialogue went like this: Chinese Maj. Gen. Hsieh Fang: "Has you side anything to say?" U. S. Maj. Gen. William K. Harrison: "No." Fang: "Since your side has nothing new to say, we suggest that we recess." Harrison: "We agree."

Low Pork Prices Presage Short Consumer Supply WASHINGTON (UP) — Pork dishes such as ham, pork chops, roasts and sausages may disappear from restaurant menus this summer. Farm leaders say disappointingly low prices of hogs could bring such a development. These farm leaders also contend that recent action of the Office of Price Stabilization (OPS) setting new ceilings for public eating places may have the effect of ruling pork off menus. The OPS order fixed menu prices prevailing the week of Feb. 3-8 as the highest restaurants may charge. At that time, and for several weeks since then, hog prices have been low from the standpoint of production costs. They have been about 80 per cent of parity because of a heavy marketing volume. Parity, a standard for measuring farm prices, is declared by law to be equally fair to farmers and those who buy their products. But hog prices—and pork too—usually advance during early summer and remain at higher levels until late fall. This price change reflects the fact that hog sales usually decline during the summer. Should pork prices go up very much, many restaurants would be caught in a squeeze between fixed ceilings on their meal prices and higher costs. Aged Women Safe Following Fire. SAN FRANCISCO (UP)—A four alarm fire swept through a wing of the Little Sisters of the Poor home for the aged early today, but 120 elderly women were safely evacuated. taurants would quit buying pork. Withdrawal of restaurants from the market could have the effect of keeping hog prices from advancing to more favorable levels. As it is, farmers now plan to produce about 9 per cent fewer pigs this spring than last. That would mean less pork next fall and winter.
