A number of suspects in this and two other stabbing cases have been questioned but were eliminated from the investigations.

Ruling Proposed to Save Funds for Taxpayers Recipients of aid to the needy aged and other categorical aids would not be permitted to absent themselves from California for more than a year under a new rule pro posed to the State Department of Social Welfare at a meeting in the State Building yesterday.

The proposed rule originated with the Los Angeles County Welfare Department as a needed "tightening up" procedure. It is hoped it will save money for the taxpayers, according to Arthur J. Will, superintendent of the Los Angeles County Charities Depart ment. Other types affected would be recipients of aid to dependent children and needy blind. Year's Clause Acceptable The proposal was first agreed on at a meeting of the policies committee of the County Welfare Directors Association and was presented at the State depart ment meeting by George Wyman of San Bernardino, chairman of the policies committee.

In the discussion it was said by C. A. Herbiage, deputy collector of the State Department of Welfare, that the one-year clause would be acceptable to the de partment. One proposal had been that absentee recipients be limited to stays of only six montha out of the State. 675 Absent From State About 675 recipients of aid to needy aged in Los Angeles County now live in other States.

Some recipients of the old age pension have been out of the State for three, four or five years or more, it was said, still drawing the California benefits. Recipients of old age benefits for the needy from other States also live in California and draw benefits from their home States. Welfare officials feel that they can keep a better check on re cipients of aid to the needy if they remain in the State and case workers can check periodically to see if they have acquired assets that might disqualify them from further benefits. Final action on the proposed rule went over until the December meeting of the board. The board will meet in Los Angeles tomorrow.

Two Names Voted for Colorado Board The Municipal Board of Wa ter and Power Commissioners yesterday voted to submit to Gov. Warren the names of Samuel B.

R. A. Magill delays decision on accepting post of Bishop. Broadway's New Crenshaw Store to Open Today The Broadway Crenshaw $6,000,000 department store at Santa Barbara Ave. and Cren shaw Blvd.

will open its doors for the shopping public at 12:30 p.m. today, providing a new mer chandising development for the Crenshaw area. "The opening of the new Broadway-Crenshaw store brings to fruition a development unique in American merchandising history," said Edward W. Carter, president of the Broadway. "This store is the focal point of a 35-acre project known as Crenshaw Center, which will in clude a dozen other well-known mercantile food and service in stitutions, which, as tenants of the Broadway, will share its 7000- cars-a-day customer parking area and its service tunnel.

Ten Million Investment "This completed development will represent an investment in excess of $10,000,000 in plant and equipment." The service tunnel is an innovation which will for the most part eliminate traffic snarls caused by unloading and delivery truck activity. Two-fifths of a mile long, the tunnel extends from Stocker Ave. to Santa Bar bara connecting loading docks of the Crenshaw Center stores underground. The five-floor building of glass brick, concrete and black granite is air-conditioned throughout and contains 220,000 square feet of floor space. Shopping aisles are roomy and interiors are done in restful pastel shades.

Clubrooms and an expansive sun deck have been provided for employees, who also may use facilities of a cafeteria, a hospital and a quiet room. The man ager is Harry S. Anderson; his assistant William Berwick. Surveys preceding building of the new department store dis closed that the area it serves comprises a population the size of Kansas City. with BILL HENRY WASHINGTON.

hances are that about the time you are reading this column, the good old Sacred Cow will be settling down on a British field and Secretary of State Marshall and half a dozen cohorts will be on the scene of the fateful session of the Council of Foreign Ministers. DIPLOMACY Most people probably have no conception of the extent of planning that goes toward arranging for such meetings. The old days of one-man diplomacy for whose mistakes we'll be paying for generations are gone. Nowadays one man may speak for us, but he is hacked hv the oreanized think ing and knowledge of a real staff of experts. When Secretary "Marshall sits down at the table with Molotov, Bevin and Bidault he has with him the best informed Americans, and the smartest! and most experienced thinkers, that the country can put at his elbow.

If we make mistakes these recent days it is not because we took joyriders and relatives instead of our best brains. DELEGATION You'll probably not read about anybody but Secretary except for an occasional mention, perhaps, of Ambassadors Lew Douglas or Beedle Smith, or Adviser Dulles, or Gens. Clay (Germany) and Keyes (Austria.) But actually the American delegation is a party of nearly 100 persons who, in themselves, form a sort of expeditionary force, complete and self-sustaining with their own travel and communications organizations and everything else that makes them sort of an independent unit. They have a set up not unlike mat wnicn maae up the traveling G.H.Q. of Gen.

Ike Eisenhower during the war. TRAVE As you read this column more than half of this staff 51 persons are aboard the S.S. America en route to England. Something less than a dozen have flown over in the last few days and the remaining SO or so are already on the scene participating in the meeting of the Deputy Foreign Ministers. Meetings will be at Lancaster House, on the grounds of St.

James's Palace, London. Meetings of the Council of Foreign Ministers rotate between the countries. They've been once around London, Paris, New York, Moscow and are starting the circuit again. The mere fact that there hasn't been a great deal accomplished never seems to stop them while there's life, there's always hope in diplomatic circles. ARRANGEMENTS In some way this job is not as difficult as some previous ones.

At the time of the Moscow conference, which was the first appearance of Secretary Marshall, it was necessary to ship nearly five tons of equipment, papers, to Moscow and most of the stuff had to be shipped a couple of months in advance to allow for Muscovite delays. Since then we've kept the bulk of the papers normally dealt with by the Foreign Ministers at the London Embassy with copies, of course, in Washington and it is therefore not such a problem. It is still a big job, however, and it is considerably complicated by the current austerity in Britain and, still further, by the aftermath of the royal nuptials. HOSPITALITY The American half a dozen London hotels for sleeping purposes, but avoids some of the rough going, gas-tronomically, by eating en masse in the justly celebrated canteen at the U.S. Embassy in Grosvenor Square.

It is a hangover from the war days and recent returnees from the area mv that while, in honest fact, it is nothing more or less than lust Dlain old good lxl. gruD, in the scarcity of the British Isles it looks like nothing less than a Lucullan feast. The job nf orcanizine this whole inva sion falls to the international conference division of the State Department. Warren Kelchner, Vpariman. has gone along to bp on the job, leaving one of his rieht-hand men, Henry Allen, bphind to keep an eye on things and to start shipping several tons of stuff off to Bogota, when; there is to be another conference a couple of months from now.

Hat Bill Hnry Monday through Friday, ZNX, 5:55 p.m. CITY WILL RESTORE BANNING HOME ON EARLY-DAY LINES Banning home in Banning Park, Wilmington, will be restored with furniture and decorations authentic of its era and reopened to the public, the City Recreation and Park Commission said yes terday. The historic house was the residence of- Phineas Banning, Los Angeles pioneer and operator of the first stagecoach line between the city and harbor. The home and surrounding property were acquired by the city in 1927 as a park. George Hjelte, general manager of the Recreation and Park Department, said Banning family heirs will aid in acquiring additional furnishings tj'pical of its early days.

Judge Tyrrell Gives Notice of Retirement Municipal Judge Frank G. Tyrrell, who has served on the local bench for 12 years, yester day announced he had filed no tice of intended retirement with Secretary of State Frank Jor dan, the retirement to be effec tive Jan. 1. Judge Tyrrell, who was born in California in 1865, said his action was prompted by the fact that he "wasn't born yester day" and that "a man in public office should retire before he has to." His plans are to stay at his home at 118 N. Normandie doing research in the field of public welfare and "possibly little writing." One of Hollywood's most in-j nocuous press conferences occurred yesterday when news paper reporters met Cayetana Stuart Silva, 21-year-old Duchess of Montoro, of Spain, and her bridegroom, Luis Irujo Artazcoz, 28-year-old former National ist navy lieutenant, in their mir ror-paneled honeymoon cottage at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

It was perfectly obvious-to the newsmen that the affable newly-weds (she shy, he bluffing it through) wanted to be let alone. Both of them looked rather queerly at the woman from the hotel who spoke to them in the hushed Beverly Hills whisper reserved for royalty and seemed to relish the discomfiture of the press, who didn't exactly know how to address them. It Was Exaggerated The Duchess scoffed, demure ly, at the reports of her lavish wedding, for which her father, the Duke of Alba, was said to have spent $370,000. "Why, it was not half of that," she exclaimed. "It was so exag gerated." "Everybody seems to know the.

cost of the wedding," re marked the Duke, dourly. "We left without seeing the bills. Wary on Political Questions The Duchess, a pleasant, demure girl who spent four years in a London convent, laughed lightly as she told how she met her husband at a dance in the north of Spain in the summer of 1946. She apologized as she explained she would rather not answer political questions. What impressed them most during their tour of the United States? New York its lights the hustle, its shows.

Oh, the shows were "Ah, but you have bullfights," remarked a reporter. "Soon you too will have bull fights, no?" smiled the Duke. You have everything why not bullfights?" On Housing Problem The closest the young couple skirted conditions in Spain was to say that the housing problem is critical there, toq, (no building materials) and that there the women wear no hats. "An old Spanish custom?" re marked another reporter. The Duchess smiled, tolerantly.

"Do you enjoy the American jokes?" hazarded another frus trated scribe. "Oh, yes," said the Duke. "The American jokes." The Duchess sat beside her husband nervous ly slipping her gold wedding band on ard off the third finger, left hand. They were mar ried in Seville last Oct. 12 and it seemed she was not yet quite used to the ring.

Guest of Film Studio The couple, guests of 20th Cen tury-Fox studios among others, plan to leave Sunday for Mexico City. They will return to Eu rope in January and to Madrid, where they will live in a flat near her father's, in March. The handsome Duke, who studied electromechanics, will supervise- his father-in-law's es tates. The Duchess explained that her father's income is from his land. "He has several oil wells she said.
