Edward V. Broderick, Lonergan's counsel, maintained that he needed the list to determine whether any prospective Jurors had an acquaintance with persons who might testify against the young cafe society figure. The judge conceded that there once was a law requiring names of such witnesses to be furnished in advance, but that it had been re-pealeu and that he had no authority to require the prosecution to produce such a list. Right to Dismissal Mr. Broderick reserved the right to enter a motion for dismissal of the jury if it developed during the trial that a juryman was acquainted with a prosecution witness.

The defense counsel's request came during a stormy session at which he was forbidden to show to any other prospective jurors copv of a letter in which the de fendant offered to waive claims to his slain wife's estate. Judge Freschi said this ruling was prompted by the fact that the letter had been furnished to the press. He declared that when he ruled that the copy could not be read in open court he had in tended that it should not be made public. The jurist said he would permit attorneys to continue to question talesmen to determine whether they had read anything similar to the letter's contents which might prevent them from being im partial. Lonergan Silent Lonergan, serious-faced as he entered the courtroom, sat with alert interest at the counsel table.

but evidenced no signs of emotion. He was dressed in the same blue suit and tie and soft white shirt that he wore Monday.

WHITMAN LIVING ROOM IN BASEMENT Our basement has a wooden floor and is kept warm by the furnace which also heats the rest of the Would it be healthy to make a living room in the basement? Or, is it necessary to use insulation? Basements do not make ideal living rooms because of insufficient sunshine and air. If, however, you have in mind a playroom where, an occasional party or "social get-together" is to be held such space can be made comfortable by lining the walls with any of the well-known brands of insulating boards.

I am assum ing the basement is dry all year around. COLD FEET I have a five room house, no basement; cement wall extends down in the ground 42 inches. House is insulated with expanded mica granules. There is 18 inches between dirt and floor. We suffer with cold feet.

Could gypsum plasterboard be used with safety from crumb ling? If not, what can you suggest? Plasterboard will not be suit able. Since you have only 18 inches of space under the house. it will be impossible to crawl under the house to install a blanket insulation between the floor joists. The only other method is to put down a layer of insulat ing board, then put down a wood flooring over it. If you now have a sub-flooring and a finished floor, it would be more practical to take up the finish flooring: put down the insulating board and replace the floor.

Exceptions to the "nine times," are noted in the following letter: "(I) Is it improper to take a wedding present the reception rather than risk adding an unnec essary package to the mails? (2) Is it necessary to write thank you notes to people who bring wedding gifts with them the day of the wedding?" In answer to (1), the present should be mailed early enough to insure its being received in time. The real disadvantage of taking it with you is that at a wedding reception of any size the bride can't possibly hold up the queue at the reception while she opens presents or even stops to look at those unwrapped for her! If the wedding is so small that there is no receiving line, opening a present or two would be quite all right, and in this case, her verbal thanks might be sufficient, if she has plenty of time to look at it with any appreciation.

If she docs no more than glance in its direction and say thank you casually a note of thanks would be expected to fol low. Business Woman's Name DEAR MRS. POST: My name is Mrs. John Smith. I am a widow and have a well known real estate business.

Shall my business cards be printed Mrs. John Smith or Bernice Smith. The latter is my signature. ANSWER: Either name is correct. Mrs.

John Smith suggests the amateur. Bernice Smith, the professional. But the distinction is not exact. In other words, I think it would be best to continue with whatever name you have become known by. In other words, an established name has great value, especially in business.

Graham Icebox Pudding Busy women who like to entertain friends for dinner occasionally will find desserts which can be prepared the day before the party are real time-savers. This is an unusual icebox cake because it requires none of the pre-war luxury, whipped cream. Roll one-half pound graham crackers fine. Placing the crack ers in a cloth bag, such as sugar sack, prevents scattering of the crumbs while rolling them. Cut one-half pound marshmal-lows into small pieces and roll them in the crumbs.

Cut one-half pound dates and chop onehalf cup nuts fine. Mix with marsh-mallows and cracker crumbs. Add one-half cup coffee cream and mold mixture into a loaf. If mixture seems dry, all a little more cream. Wrap the loaf in waxed paper arid place in icebox for 24 hours before serving.

Yield: Eight servings. Top with lemon sauce, if desired. FLOWER HEADGEAR Huge felt flowers, attached to a comb, are new bits of headgear to arrive in town.

Noxon, wealthy cor poration lawyer charged with mur der in the electrocution death of his six-months old defective son, was quoted today as having told investigators that he'd "be damned" if he would have his child In an institution. The case is being tried before Superior Court judge and jury. Miss Mary A Bristol, retired Court stenographer, reading from her notes of police interviews with Mr.

Noxon after the child's death last Sept. 22, quoted Mr. Nixon In a denial that a doctor had termed the child's death an "act of mercy." "I told you twenty times that this was an accident," Mr. Noxon reportedly told the police ques tioners. I couldn't kill my own baby, and that's true," the transciption quoted him as saying.

Police nan asKea Koxen 11 ur, George II. Hunt, the family pediatrician, had not rctcrrea 10 the child's death as an "act of mercy," Miss Bristol had related. Mr. Noxen said that he recalled the doctor saying that the child's future was not bright and that this might be the best thing, according to Miss Bristol's notes. Asked if anybody had said, "it may be all for the best," the de fendant was quoted as saying, "I think that Dr.

England (Albert C. England, medical examiner) said something to that effect." Mr. Noxen agreed, according to the noles, that he be damned" if he would have a child of his in an institution. The tran scription then quoted Mr. Noxen as asking, "wouldn you all feel the same?"

We're all familiar with the part that accessories play in such a scheme, but coats spring surprises this year, and claim a bigger place than was evident earlier. Because they're in colors, because they have so many new ideas in their lines and details, they create clever costumes when teamed with plain skirts or dresses, and with the right accessories. The types are numerous, and it is for you to choose the coat that suits you best. Among the toppers there's considerable variety.

They are not all boicy as you might have expected though most are short, for the fitted topper is news, as is the tunic coat, and the short officer's coat. Then, there are dressmaker coats for wear with your fur scarf, softly styled, collarless and in bright colors instead of the brown or navy you'd have bought last year. The nightshirt influence, me raincoat influence, the workshirt influence, they're all found in spring coats. They re evident in raglan shoulders, in seams as flat as those in a man's shirt, in shoulder yokes, in saddle shoulders, and in the convenient length of many coats, the length that has been found best for a workman's tunic. It has been said that there's a color for every woman, and it seems true, when your eye runs over the coats; in almond green.

or bright green, pimento orange. royal blue, burnt orange, sai-fron, beige, gray, rosy reds, bright red, wine, pale blues, and many others. Then there are coats in white, in black, in navy, brown and in the camel tones. Fabrics are mostly smooth. Gabardine makes officers' coats and toDcoats to go with suits.

Shetlands. monotone tweeds and smoother, softer woolens make the other types. Most of the dressmaker coats are of soft-as-doeskin fabrics. Watch for such interesting details as knitted sleeves, contrasting lapels (black on color) velvet tuxedo in a bright wool coat, and for the very young, buttons in several colors right down the coat, so that the girl who wears it can match accessories to any button. Braid, stitching or trapunto embroidery is found on coats for women, though they are gay too, because of their colors.

When they're short, they are nearly always teamed with skirt or dress in contrast for one of those stunning planned-ensemble effects, with accessories carried out to complete the scheme. Select the type coat that will serve you best, and the color that will do the most for the clothes you have. You'll be surprised how much extra interest it will add to your wardrobe.

McKENNEY SOME time ago Jerome Scheuer of Boston was in my office, and we discussed bridge in general and some interesting hands that have come up in the past. Here is one which Scheuer said was played in a rubber game at the Boston Chess Club in 1938. Scheuer (South) ruffed the open ing lead, which was the club ace, then ruffed a spade in dummy NORTH None A 6 4 2 10 7 8 5 3 2 EAST WEST A 7 4 2 10 7 8 AQ964 9 6 3 Q83 6 5 10 7 SOUTH Dealer Scheuer A 10 8 5 95 A 9 4 3 2 None Rubber None vul.

South 1 3 6 West North East Pass 2 Pass Pass 4 Pass Pass Pass Pass Opening A ruffed another club, ruffed another spade with the ten of diamonds, and ruffed the third club in his own hand. Now he cashed the ace and king of diamonds, won a heart in dummy with the king and led another club. East ruffed with the queen of diamonds and discarded the ten of spades. East returned a spade. While the finesse would work, Scheuer pointed out that it could not gain.

going up with the ace, the blank king might be picked up. If not, the play of the last diamond would squeeze either East or West. If East refused to trump, he would be squeezed. Waldorf Gelatin Salad Instead of the usual apple and celery salad, combine these in gredients with lime or lemon- flavored gelatin and serve with cheese dressing. This recipe yields four luncheon servings or six salads to go with the meat course for dinner.

Rinse three-fourths cup seed less raisins in hot water and drain thoroughly. Dissolve one pack age lime gelatin in one and three-fourths cups hot water, then cool. Mix one cup diced apple, one- half cup diced celery and two tablespoons lemon juice and add a dash of salt When the gelatin thickens slightly, fold in the raisins, apples, celery and two tablespoons mayonnaise. Pour into small molds which have been rinsed with cold water. Chill.

Unmold and top with cheese dressing. To make the dressing. beat one-third cup finely grated Parmesan cheese and a few drops of tabasco sauce into one-half cup mayonnaise. W. T.

GRANT iirwTfi He seems like a good sort." to be getting on. This past was his age, I was earning a living and helping at home." This boy had grown four inches in a little less than a year. He was 20 pounds underweight. He was in the first stages of tuberculosis of the lungs. He had enough trouble to do for a life-time but until his queer behavior made his family uncomfortable, they did not give him a second thought.

He was supposed to grow up and when he didn't do that quietly, it surprised his people into seeing tney weren't getting on with him. Every adolescent boy and girl should be examined by a physician who has had experience with adol escent children. They are subject to severe strains that do not show outwardly but which are register ing inwardly night and day. They do strange things because they have strange feelings that they cannot tell about because they are undefined. Feelings drive people into action.

When children mis behave in new and frightening ways, one can be fairly certain that they are under stress and seeking relief from these trouble some but undefined feelings. Rearing children is a difficult undertaking made more so by the fact that growth is hidden. When in doubt about a child ask the ex pert. Prevention is better than cure.

Y. New Hairnets Are Colorful By ALICIA HART IN YOUR color-scheming for spring a season when the bolder it is the better consider a hairnet in a vivid shade that flags eyes to your head. Tipping you off as to what top-ranking fashion models are doing with nets that keep hair tidy and add excitement to a coif. Ruth Woods, one of Robert Powers' beauties, says: "We like to cradle our long bobs or confine our updo's in big ropey nets of vivid color." To name a few hair style tricks that you might like to try out in front of your own mirror, Ruth suggests using a bright red or tiger lily pink net as accent color for a somber navy blue or black costume. To increase pulling powers of colors like these, match your hairnet exactly to the shade of lipstick that you wear.

Or repeat the color that swathes your head with a red or pink jewel clipped to your dress. To make a smoothly netted little head more festive, stick a flower in your hair, or top your net with a gay hat. There are endless ways to wear these colored nets, designed by costume milliner Lily Dache. If you wear your hair down in back, cradle it snood-fashion in the hammock-like fold of the net. bring the tie ends forward and conceal them behind a bang or a pouf of front hair.

For an upswept hair-do, spread net imme-rfiatplv after brushing back hair up. Now, twist front loop of net tight, fasten with a hairpin, and dress your front hair so as to conceal the loop of twisted net Backless Blouse Ynu can look for the backless suit blouse to appear for South out of school; he helped himself to money; he stayed out all night and we didn't know where he was; he ran away yesterday. We just don't seem to be getting along with him." I looked at the father who said this, thinking he must be smiling and wondering what in the world he was smiling at. But he was quite grave, quite matter-of-fact. He was worried about his boy and he felt sincerely that he wasn't quite hitting it off with him as he might.

"What does the boy say about his behavior? Give any reason for it?" "No. He just says, 'O let me when we scold him." "Is he sick? Does he eat well? Is he growing fast? Got any special interest, anything he wants to do very much?" "I wouldn't say he was sick. He eats pretty well. If he comes in for meals, that is. Yes, he is grow-, ing fast.

I never heard him say much about what he wanted to do except for one crazy notion that he's like to own a circus. Just for the animals. He's big enough to behave I should say.
