UP—Coach Rod Dedeaux expressed complete surprise tonight when a reporter told him his star University of Southern California pitcher, Bill Sperling, had just signed a contract with the Boston Red Sox. Dedeaux said the loss would put a big dent in his lineup next spring but Sperling had his blessing if he could get a good bonus. Sperling, Dedeaux said, needs the money to help his family and was having trouble with grades to keep eligible. "Last season when I went to the NCAA meeting I lost my star third baseman," Dedeaux commented. "And this year I'm gone a couple of days and lose my star pitcher." The coach, in answer to 6 reporter's questions, said he planned no action to bar professional baseball teams from drafting college players.

The Mid-winter event originated Fantastic O’Brien Dubbed Man of Year in Seattle SEATTLE, Jan. 7. OP—Johnny O’Brien, the fantastic little giant of basketball, is Seattle’s "man of the year" in sports for 1952. Variously known as "O’Brien go braugh" and the "small shillalah of Seattle U," Johnny O., was voted the honor last night at the annual Post-Intelligencer banquet. Only 5 feet 9, Johnny plays in the pivot for Seattle U. and last year he set an all-time scoring record of 1051 points for a single season. Now he's shooting for the career record of 2902 set over a five-year span by Nate Delong of River Falls, Wis. Teachers, and needs only 215 points to tie it. If he maintains his present scoring average of 27.3 he'll wind up about 3200 for four seasons activity. Hayes to Meet Olsen in Garden BOSTON, Jan. 7.

Mrs Joseph Hardin, a neighbor, said Mrs Smith had discussed the plans with her only 14 hours before Col Aubrey Smith was finally stabbed in the bedroom of the Smith's Washington Heights home. Mrs Smith daughter of retired Gen. Walter Krueger, is on trial for murder before a U.S. army court martial. The prosecution rested its case Wednesday afternoon after a three-day procession of 14 witnesses. The chief defense attorney, Lt. Col. Howard S. Levie then moved for dismissal but was overruled by the judge of the court marital board. Star witness for the defense is expected to be Brig. Gen Rawley E.

Hanford Woman’s Body Found in Trunk of Auto FRESNO, Jan 7 UP The body of an attractive Hanford mother was found in the trunk compartment of an automobile here today three hours after the California highway patrol reported her estranged husband had failed in a dramatic pre-dawn suicide attempt. Patrolmen Jack Wood and James Maroney said Millard Blackwell jumped in front of a truck on U.S. highway 29 south of Chicago. The officers said a feller in his pocket indicated the 36-year-old oil company worker had planned to kill his wife and then take his own life. Blackwell was taken to the county general hospital unconscious from head and leg injuries. Police Lt. George Vind said a note found on Blackwell's person directed officers to the parking lot where the car containing the body of Mrs. Rhoda Blackwell, 28, was found. A medical examination revealed Mrs. Blackwell died from hemorrhages and a ruptured liver. Authorities have launched an investigation to learn the exact manner in which the woman died. The dead woman's attorney Sidney J W Sharp of Hantford said the couple quarreled about 10 days ago when Mrs Blackwell wanted to go to San Francisco for a visit. He said she took the trip despite her husband's objections and Blackwell filed suit for divorce in her absence, changing extreme mental cruelty. The woman filed a counter suit upon her return to Hanford, Sharp said, and was awarded custody of the couple's two young sons in a hearing early this week.

Both have been before congress many times in recent years, but So. Cal. Phone Co. to Pay San Diego Bill SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. 7, (AP)—The Fourth district court of appeals today ordered the Southern California Telephone Co. to pay the city of San Diego $174,871. The sum was declared due under a franchise calling for the city to receive 2 per cent of the company's gross revenue. The opinion was written by Presiding Justice Charles R. Barnard and concurred in by Justice Stanley Mussell and Lloyd E. Griffin. It sets a figure in between what the company claimed it owed and the amount set by San Diego Superior Judge L. N. Turrentine. The telephone company's 30-year franchise ran out Aug. 7, 1944. The company asserted renewal was unnecessary. A San Diego superior court then enjoined it from using city streets or rights of way without a franchise. The company afterward applied for a franchise and paid the city $158,670, declaring that to be the sum due at the time. The city refused to accept the payment, claiming it was owed $421,435. Judge Turrentine set the amount due at $239,337 and gave the city a judgment for $80,667—the amount still lacking after the company's payment. Never have gotten enough votes. An Alaska statehood bill was introduced by Sen. Gordon (R-Ore.) and 13 other senators—seven Democrats, five Republicans and one Independent, Morse of Oregon. Virtually the same bill was approved at the last session of congress by the senate insular affairs committee. Sen. Murray (D-Mont.) and 13 other Democrats and Morse introduced bills to grant statehood to both territories. Earlier in the week Sen. Knowland (R-Calif.) told reporters after he and three other Republican senators called on President-elect Eisenhower that he had every reason to believe a Hawaiian statehood bill would be approved at this session of congress. In the group was Sen. Butler (R-Neb.) who will be chairman of the insular affairs committee. He opposed statehood for either territory in the last congress but said after a recent trip to Hawaii he favored granting it statehood. Bills to make both territories states were introduced also in the house today by Rep. Angell (R-Ore). It has received similar proposals earlier this season. Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt Dies NEW YORK, Jan. 7, (AP)—Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, for years the acknowledged leader of New York society's most exclusive circle, died tonight at her Fifth avenue home. Supervisors Assn. Meets with Heads Of Utility Co.'s. SACRAMENTO, Jan 7. (UP)—A county Supervisors association committee met behind closed doors with public utilities representatives today on property tax assessments. Result of the session was not made known immediately, but David A Bird, San Diego county supervisor, and chairman of the committee, said the supervisors could have some recommendations Friday. The legislature and the state board of equalization have been concerned for several years with the problems of equalizing the assessments of public utilities properties and other property and the lack of uniformity in assessment practices among the 58 counties. The counties assess most property for tax purposes, and the state board fixes the taxable value of the utilities' property. William R. MacDougall, general manager of the supervisors association, said the meeting was an attempt to reach an overall policy on equalizing assessments.

Talking Parrott Greets Customers EL DORADO, Ark (UP)—People who patronize a small homey cafe on the south side of this Arkansas oil capital usually get something for their nickel besides a cup of coffee. Pedro, the parrot pet of the cafe, often gives the customer a conversation. Depending on his mood of the moment, Pedro greets patrons with a clear, unmistakable wolf whistle, a friendly "Hello." maybe a hospitable "Come in" or just blank scrutiny. In parting, Pedro may tell them "Come back," "Goodbye" or "Bye Bye." The bird once told a customer pettishly, "Shut the door, country boy! It's cold."

(UP)—Mrs. Cornellius Vanderbilt, for years the acknowledged leader of New York society's most exclusive circle, died tonight at her Fifth avenue home. She was the widow of Brig. Gen. Cornellius Vanderbilt III. She had been in falling health for several years and had seldom appeared at social events. However, she still retained her Metropolitan opera box and was considered society's leader. Her death ended a fabulous social career. She was born Grace Graham Wilson, a southern society girl. She married Vanderbilt who was eight years her junior, in 1896. That marriage was said to have been the reason the bulk of his father's estate was left to another son, Alfred G. Vanderbilt. The father was Cornellius Vanderbilt II, the son of Commodore William Henry Vanderbilt, railroad magnate of a generation ago. It is believed that the present type of large brown rat, found in most parts of the world is a native of Central Asia and did not start to migrate to other areas until early in the 18th Century. M.O.D. Sales Blanket the Country Not content to center sales effort in the big cities, Mutual Orange Distributors sells effectively to the far corners of the United States. The above map illustrates graphically the 410 points in the United States and Canada in which M.O.D. sold citrus fruits this past season. In export, too, M.O.D.'s long-standing policy of an aggressive export selling program really paid off. This past summer the heaviest percentage of export shipments ever achieved relieved and strengthened our domestic markets. 1. Good distribution of sales over the country and abroad. 2. Direct sales methods eliminating unnecessary charges. 3. Modern packaging reducing packing costs. 4. Over 76% (domestic, export, and loose) of all fruit shipped on definite order before it leaves the packing house. These methods pay off to M.O.D. growers.
