(AP Wirephoto) Death Of Siamese King Will Have No Political Effects London, June .10 u.R) Siamese sources said today the gunshot death of King Ananda Mahidoi, 20-year-old Siamese monarch, and selection of his 18-year-old brother to succeed him would have no effect on the political situation in the Far Eastern country. The late king was described by men close to the Siamese government as a "harmless charming boy without significance." He had no enemies and no power, they said, and his death almost certainly was an accident. Reports from Bangkok said-Ananda was found lying on the floor of his palace bedroom shortly lie-fore noon Sunday with a bullet wound in his head. The Siamese government- in emergency session chose Prince Phumiphon Adulet, Ananda's younger brother, as the new king, Bangkok reports said.

Fourth Generation Californian In Playhouse Cast First the Indians, then the Spanish, and then came the Benjamin Family. Yep that's the way California was- colonized. If you don't -think so just ask Dick Benjamin, who will- appear this summer with the Sequoia Summer Playhouse at the Boulder Creek School auditorium.

It seems that the Benjamins are now going into their fourth generation as natives of California and Dick is mighty pi-oud of the fact. The young actor attended the University of California and Southern Cal and before the war left his beloved California to travel through Europe with his family. His traveling days were just started then although Dick didn't know it at the time it seems that Uncle Sam had other ideas of traveling in store for him and with the little letter bearing "Greetings from the President of the United States" our gifted nomad was awarded an expense-free trip to the China-Burma-India theatre and he liked it sooooimuch he stayed on for many months. i Dick is back 'now, and more than ever interested in his acting career. During the rehearsals of the company at the Boulder Creek high school he will be able to entertain his fellow actors with his impersonations of the natives; of India and China.

But one thing is certain Dick has had enough of travel and he's looking forward to watching the fifth and sixth generation of Benjamins help make California the greatest state. HIGHWAYS OPEN June 10 OJ.R) The state division of highways announced today that with the reopening of Carson Pass, all of the high Sierra highways are clear. were to be made en masse, followed by an individual defense starting with Mikhailovitch. The proceedings were being translated into English, French and Russian. "Marshal Tito's government was prepared to present evidence that Mikhailovitch plotted with the Germans against Tito's rival National Army of Liberation.

An official American offer to furnish defense witnesses -for Mikailovitch was rejected by Tito. Reports have circulated that Mikhailovitch would plead guilty, perhaps winning a sentence less than death. These were without official confirmation. The series of trials was expected to last three or four weeks. More than .70 Allied newspaper corre-pondents will cover them.

There was relatively little excitement in Belgrade over the trial. (In New York, the committee for a fair trial for Draja Mikhailovitch asserted that his execution eould lead to civil war in Yugoslavia. It said the trial could aggravate relations between the western powers and Yugoslavia.) Mikhailovitch has emerged as one of the most controversial figures of the war. Although he never left Yugoslavia after the Germans captured the country, he was named war minister in King Peter's refugee government and was hailed as the resistance leader. Later Tito's National Liberation army grew in strength and played a swiftly increasing role against the Germans.

It assailed Mikhailovitch and the refugee government. MILLION!"

Draja Mikhailovitch was hissed and booed by some 1000 spectators today when he strode into a jammed courtroom to face trial on charges of collaborating with the Nazi occupation forces in Yugoslavia. The trial of Mikhailovitch, once hailed by the Allies as the heroic leader of anti-Nazi resistance in Yugoslavia, opened with the formal reading of treason charges against him and 23 other joint defendants. The court and prosecution staff were greeted with applause when they appeared for the opening of the trial.

The trial opened in the small auditorium of an infantry training school at Topcider, a Belgrade suburb. A 15-man military guard was arrayed directly behind the defendants. Mikhailovitch was defended by Dragic Joksimovic and Nikora Djunovio, Belgrade lawyers and members of the opposition Democratic party. The president of the court was Col. Miahilo Georgevitch, who is president of the Serbian supreme court.

The judges were Col. Milka Lkaovic, also a member of the supreme court, and Lt. Col. Hisailo Jaskovic. The court secretary was Lt.
