A-4 THE DAILY SUN Tnesday, Dec. 9, 195S JURY TO DECIDE FATE OF TRIPLE STRANGLER TRUMAN SAYS IKE 'MAD' AT HIM; HE HAS SALTY RETORT Demos to Seek More Aid for Home Building determine whether he must die in the San Quentin gas chamber. Judge John A. Hewicker, in effect, sustained Glatman's own objection to a motion by his attorney that the plea be changed to one of insanity. Hewicker set next Monday for the start of selecting a jury to determine the degree of murder and penalty.

Glatman, who has insisted he wants the death penalty, offered to waive a jury. The Los -Angeles television repairman has confessed the strangulation of Mrs. Shirley Ann Bridgeford, 24, Sun Valley, and Miss Ruth Rita Mercado, 24, Los Angeles model, whose remains were found in San Diego County; and of Miss Judy Dull, 19, Hollywood model, whose body was found in Riverside County. I II -iC' L.N t' Gas Industry Wins Supreme Court Decision WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court ruled yesterday that pipeline companies which supply natural gas to millions of consumers may use a short-cut procedure to increase their rates. The court divided 5-3 with Justice Clark taking no part.

The decision brought a jump in the price of major natural gas stocks on the New York Stock Exchange. Justice Douglas, who spoke for the dissenters, said the ruling 'has dire consequences" and "makes a shambles out of the (Natural Gas) Act as far as consumers are concerned." MILLIONS IN VOLVED The gas industry had awaited the decision with anxiety. Had the ruling gone the other way, pipeline companies could have had to refund all the increases they have collected in recent years under rates not yet formally approved by the Federal Power Commission. The refunds could have amounted to more than 240 million dollars. The Justice Department backed up the FPC in urging the high court to permit gas suppliers to -c i I Vi i DISCOVERY Dorothy lett.

He remained silent when asked if he had read about, or seen pictures of, a school fire in Chicago last week in which 92 persons died. The boy said he tried five times before he got the fire going in the school library.

Rep. Albert Rains (D-Ala) called for a hike in government funds used to support low-and moderate-priced home mortgages. In a talk prepared for a meeting of the U.S.

Savings and Loan League in Kansas City, Rains cited tightening of interest rates, widening discounts on mortgage loans, and exhaustion of federal aid authority to support his contention. Excerpts from his speech were distributed to newsmen in Washington. "It does not take any particular acumen to see where all this is leading," Rains said. "In my judgment, housing production will turn down considerably more than seasonally in January and February, and we may well face the danger of a serious slump in housing production next spring." MOVES IX CONGRESS Rains' statement pointed toward early Democrat-sponsored moves in the next Congress to enact new housing legislation. This would be almost certain to stir up floor fights.

The Eisen-! hower administration opposes ex-j tensive new spending for home building aids in the light of present high-level construction activity and a prospective 12-billion-dollar budget deficit. Administration opposition was instrumental in defeating a wide-! ranging housing bill at the last session of Congress. But with the new Congress more firmly under Democratic control, it is now expected that legislation will be offered on an emergency basis immediately after Congress convenes in January. This would seek to increase the basic authority of the Federal Housing Administration to insure home mortgage loans. The last Congress voted an adcuV tional four billion dollars in mort- gage insurance authority.

It also voted one billion dollars to a spe-1 cial assistance fund for the pur-; chase of FHA and GI home A CINEMASCOPE "Queen of Outer Space" ZSA ZSA CABOR Also "WOLF DOG" JIM DAVIS ALLISON HAYES Adults 60o Juniors 50c Children 20e Kids Fr with Parents (Eve.

Roosevelt's comment that Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minn) has "a touch of greatness" as a presidential prospect. The Democrats, he said, have "half a dozen or perhaps two dozen governors and senators who have the same qualifications." In fact, he told the audience, there's only one Democrat he's against "and you're looking at him." He was less bashful when a questioner asked if he would be interested in running for a Missouri Senate seat if Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo) were elected President in 1960.

Truman said he wouldn't. When that sank in, he addled: "But I'd be interested in an appointment to fill out his term." He resumed his customary attacks on newspaper owners for their alleged partiality to the "bloated bondholder" (i.e. Republican) party, and chided their "paid writers" for inability to explain last month's Democratic sweep.

RUN" Color By DOX IKWLV (New York Herald Tribune News Service) WASHINGTON Former President Truman said yesterday that President Eisenhower has been "mad" at him since the 1952 cam paign, and added that he doesn't "give a damn." The comment came late in a salty question-and-answer session that followed a cheerfully infor mal Truman speech before a sellout audience of 500 at the Nation al Press Club. Swinging from mellow reminiscence to cussword-studded political commentary, Truman gave his friends (all Democrats) and his foes (mostly Republicans) his version of their just desserts.

In between, he made it clear that his first po litical love is still the U.S. Sen ate. The former 'President's com ment on his relations with his successor was prompted by a questioner who asked if he thoueht his appointment as a con sultant to President Eisenhower could serve a useful purpose. JENNEK INCIDENT "I don't know. The President has a very difficult job and I have great respect for anyone who holds that office," Truman began.

He hesitated and began again: "I haven't been in touch with President Eisenhower since I left the White House. There's noth ing personal between the Presi dent and myself. But I raised neu with him in '52 when he didn't knock Jenner off the platform after he called Gen. Marshall a traitor. He's been mad with me ever since.

And I don't give a damn." Truman's reference was to a criticism he loosed on Eisenhow er in 1952 because the then Republican candidate permitted himself to appear 4on the same platform with Sen. William E. Jenner (R-Ind), who had attacked former Secretary of State George C. Marshall as a "traitor." This was only one of many grounds on which Eisenhower was attacked in Truman's "give 'em hell' speeches. LAUGHS WITH AUDIENCE Truman laughed just as hard as his audience when the next questioner tied scandals of his own administration with recent events at the White House, ask- in? if the speaker cared, to dis cuss "the difference between a vicuna coat and a deep freeze." "Well, I want to say to you: they're both very useful for the purposes for which they were built," he replied.

The former President, crisp in a double-breasted blue suit, was seated at the speaker's table near his former military aide Maj. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan, whose acceptance of a deep freeze from a lobbyist was a fac et of the 1950 "5 per center" in vestigation.

TV COLUMNIST LOSES In other actions yesterday, the high court: 1. Declined in a 6-1 split to re view the case of Marie Torre, a television columnist for the New York Herald Tribune.

T. Evans of the registration board in Bullock County refused to testify under oath. They gave the same reason. Colby C. Coleman, a member of the Lowndes County board, consented to testify under oath, but refused on the same grounds as the others to answer any questions about voter registration in his county.

A second Lowndes County board member, Mrs. Dorothy Woodruff, discussed registration procedure in general terms and admitted no Negroes are registered as voters in the county, which has a Negro population of about 14,000 and a white population of about 4,000, She said there are approximately 2,300 white voters. Asked for an explanation, Mrs. Woodruff said no Negroes have even applied for registration in the 32 years she has been a board member. Intervention by state officials, meanwhile, kept registration rec: ords out of the hands of the federal commission.

The files in Barbour and Bullock counties were impounded by Cir cuit Judge George C. Wallace even before the commission sub poenaed them; the records in Dallas, Lowndes and Wilcox counties were turned over to county grand juries Saturday, and registration board's files in i Macon were impounded by Circuit Solicitor Tom J.

He declared the officials could not legally and conscientiously comply with commission subpoenas and orders, adding: "In fights of this nature there can be no surrender of principle to expediency. The time for retreating has come to an end." The refusals to testify started with one member of the Macon Board of Registrars, Grady Rogers. He agreed at first to answer some questions, but declined to discuss registration procedure.

Later, when the commission discovered Rogers was out of the room when witnesses were given the oath earlier in the day, the Macon County registrar refused to be sworn and was dismissed from the stand.
