P2-2 IN SCHOLARSHIP THURSDAY, MAY 1W Reed Jury Chosen Bayan To Live Abroad Vietnam Memory Victim's to Live Redondo Beach. Reed, of Los Angeles, was wounded. Reed, Burnett said, had robbed Hartman and was trying to abduct him. Reed is being tried on the murder charge because he was committing a felony when the incident occurred. Public defender Alvin Calof said he would hold his opening statement for later.

Nine women and three men were chosen Wednesday to judge John William Reed, charged with the murder of a man he didnt kill. The jurors, sitting in Superior Court at Inglewood, also will try Reed, 32, on counts of kidnaping and robbery. The trial started with a 10-minute opening statement by prosecutor Robert L. Burnett, who told the jurors: Donald Archie Hartman, 45, was killed by a sheriffs deputy who was trying to stop Reed from harming Hartman, manager of a Gardena area service station Nov. 29.

The deputies saw Reed put a gun to Hartmans head and they fired. One slug killed Hartman of 1890 Morgan Lane, ii By J. William Parry GRADUATE GEMOIOGIST THE PRECIOUS JADE OF HO Since ancient times the Chinese Emperor spoke to heaven through a piece of Jade. About the third century B.G, a certain precious carved jade seal became the Emperor's right to rule. THE MAN WHO POSSESSED IT HAD THE RIGHT TO RULE CHINA" This was the precious Jade of Ho.

This seal was to provide some of the most dramatic moments in Chinese history, as men fought, betrayed, stole, suffered, and died to obtain it, until well into our own century. Legend tells us that Ho was a poor scholar who saw a phoenex light upon a boulder. He decided the mythology indicated it was composed of the finest quality Jade. His first and only thought was to present it to the ruler, which he did, along with lavish praise of the gems unusual merits. Court attendants did not agree and even doubted it was genuine Jade.

For his unheard of impertinence, he was punished with the severing of his left foot! Ho believed in his rare specimen and obviously w'as Jade-mad, for he waited patiently until another sovereign mounted the throne. He once again traveled to the palace and made his presentation. This time he had to be carried away because his right foot was the penalty for his fraudulent offering. He was certainly dedicated, because he tried once again when a third emperor was crowned. This time he was vindicated.

The new ruler recognized the rich gift as tme precious Jade. Finally Ho was justly and richly rewarded for his fine offering. There are contradictory stories filled with betrayal and intrigue concerning the precious Jade of Ho after it was in the royal court. One legend states that the King of China offered fifteen cities for the most beautiful Jade in the land. The vivid green and white boulder was subsequently carved into a square "seal" with handles of interlocking dragons.

War and bloodshed were die seals faithful companion through centuries of royal Chinese history. The seal disappeared for many years at a time, bur always reappeared. It was sent to Shanghai in 1936 to avoid being captured by the Japanese. The Red Chinese refuse to discuss its existence today, but for all we know Mao Tse-Tung currently uses it as a stamp for his daily official directives.

Market, 677-1144. Johnsons will have other reminders of their sons heroism. Army officials in Washington, D.C., have notified the family that the Air Medal for Heroism and the Purple Heart will be awarded posthumously during ceremonies at Ft. MacArthur Friday. We received a letter from the adjutant generals office in Washington informing us Philip had earned the medals, Johnson said.

The 3:30 p.m. ceremonies will include a band review and formal presentation of the medals. We are so proud of him and the kind things people are doing, Johnson said. Philip, a former Daily Breeze delivery boy, was one of three sons. If either of the' other two boys wanted to go to Vietnam, we -would not try and stop them, Johnson said.

The tall, dark -haired boy died during a night medical evacuation mission when the helicopter on which he served as crew chief was shot down by the Viet Cong. He was a member of the Army Aviation Unit attached to the 283rd Medical Detachment. A full military funeral was held for Philip at Green Hills Memorial Cemetery in San Pedro. 0 tltUJti fr Qtjfl Witn By SUE ALLISON Daily Breeze Staff Writer Like an old soldier, the memory of Pfc. Philip Johnson, 20, will never die.

The Redondo Beach hero, who was killed Feb. 2 in Vietnam action, will be remembered every year through a scholarship established in his honor. The first annual Phil Johnson Memorial Scholarship of $100 for fine arts majors was awarded this week to Joe Deckwith of Redondo Union High School. Plans for the memorial originated when members of Philips 1965 graduating class at Redondo Union High School learned the soldier had been killed during a helicopter rescue mission. The schools Madrigal Choir held a benefit performance in April to raise funds for the grant.

Presentation of the scholarship this week was attended by Philips parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lee Johnson. It is a wonderful thing these kids have done, Johnson said. Philip was very active in drama at the high school and would be pleased to see the money being awarded in the fields of art, drama and music.

1 In addition to the scholarship in Philips honor, the PAPIER MACHE PLAQUES A junior at Mira Costa High School, Manhattan Beach, will live in a German home for eight weeks this summer in a student exchange. Robert Applegate of Manhattan Beach will leave June 25 for New York, where he will join 35 other U.S. students who will participate in the program. After, a day of sightseeing in New York, the students will leave for Germany, where Applegate will stay with a family in Wolfsburg. He is scheduled to arrive just one-week before his German brother leaves for an eight-weeks stay with the Applegate family.

Family situation was an important factor in selection of participants, according to the program directors, who attempted to match families with children of similar ages: Students from junior history classes were interviewed as possible participants in the exchange program, Applegate said. The Volkswagen sponsored exchange is in no way connected to other student exchange programs, he said. Seaside Missions Planned Seaside missions will be held June 19 through July 1 on South Bay beaches for the 36th consecutive year, sponsored by the Bible Institute of Los Angeles Inc. Meetings for children, teenagers and adults will be from 9:45 to 11:30 a.m. daily in the Hermosa Beach pier area and at 2:30 p.m.
