BUSINESS By McFeatters MERVIN Nya. "I did NOT steal an apple from your lunchbox, Mervinand stop threatening to call the F.B.I.!" Brenda in Jail Aged, Drab; Won't Talk of Money Cache Continued from Page a 31-year-old gal whose drawl smacks of the outlying country of the deep South. Aroma of Cabbage But that was then. Now, as of today, there is no perfume of magnolias around Brenda Allen. Rather there is Mrs.

Marie Mitchell, eight pounds under weight, her face devoid of make-up except -for a thin line which outlines her upper lip like the ring around last night's beer stein, and the simple homey smell of cabbage cooking in the jail. She is proud that her executive ability has been recognized by her keepers. "These stripes mean that I am a trusty." But what these girls will profit from is the Brenda who is an expert seamstress, a knitter of sweaters and -sOx? Is she bitter against Policewoman Audre Davis? Has she forgiven the husky girl who "pestered me for a job" and then waited quite a while to "tell the truth?" Crossing No Streets "I have nothing against the woman," mutters the new Brenda. She would speak to her on the street, yes, but she wouldn't cross the street to meet up with her. But it is possible that while 15 good jurymen, and glum, try to wander through a maze of Audre's making, there may be a question in Brenda's mind.

In fact, she said, "If I was a reporter I'd go ask her why she suddenly decided to 'tell the For in. Brenda's business "kiss and tell" would be the "kiss of death." Her future? Well, like the good folks from all over the cold countries, "Out of all the 33 states Doctor's amazing liquid for POISON IVY INSECT BITES First applications of Zemo-based on a doctor's wonderful invisible antiseptic--promptly relieve itching and aid healing of poison ivy, athlete's foot, rashes and similar surface skin and scalp irritations. Zemo is backed by an amazing record of continuous success. First trial convinces! I've been in, I like California best. I have no reason to run away so here I'll stay." Nest Egg? Maybe And what has she to "come home to?" Is there a nest egg? A tidy little pile? A home in the wildwood? Somewhere she will set up "housekeeping" the legal way, she says.

But the nest egg? You can make a guess, for right there the heavy face of Mrs. Mitchell brightened for a minute and Brenda Allen sparkled through. "No speeka da Eeenglish," she lied cheerfully. Long Beach Crash Claims 2nd Victim Charles P. Campbell, 62, of 1219 Florida Long Beach, died last night in navy hospital, second victim of a spectacular auto accident early yesterday.

S. T. Halverson, 60, of 1388 Peterson Long Beach, was killed when the car driven by Campbell hurled 134 feet through the air off Harbor Blvd. near 17th St. in San Pedro.

The car failed to make a curve. Audre Almost Collapses Before Vice Jury Quizzing Continued from Page 4 aide who has Miss Davis that Mayor Bowron and an aide may be recalled to testify. Bowron would be asked to repeat testimony about what he knew of underworld-police department corruption and when he first learned it, observers agreed. Mayor's Report A report on police conditions was prepared last winter by one of his aides, Maurice Feuerlicht, although Bowron told the grand jury he knew nothing of the corruption charges until the scandal broke. Stoker's reunion with former girl friend Audre outside the jury com was dramatic.

"They're just using you against me," Sgt. Charles Stoker bitterly told policewoman Audre Davis as photographers' flashbulbs popped. "They're going to ruin you in the long run," Stoker continued. "You're framing me for them. There's no point in it." The titian-haired policewoman's reply was inaudible, but Stoker told reporters she.

mumbled sorrowfully: "I don't know, Charliedon't know what they're doing." When Stoker protested, damn it, in the long run they're going to put you behind the eight ball," he was tersely warned by Lt. Chick Ebbets, district attor- HY HYPERION Continued from Page 2 to the plant. He was later replaced by Gunther Redman. Duties of the city engineer's representative were: 1. To become fully familiar with progress of construction.

2. To take prompt action on problems requiring immediate decision. 3. To assist in coordinating activities of different contractors and insure that any interference be kept at a minimum. 4.

To contact other divisions in city government where cooperation was needed. When complaints were raised over the authority given Aldrich's representative, the board of public works turned down the city engineer's request that: "The inspector of public works be instructed to proceed with the work on any contract upon receipt of a memorandum or other communication signed by me." Alarmed by Councilman Ed J. Davenport's assertion that "the sewer scandal" may result in a grand jury investigation, the council yesterday hired two engineering firms to make a quick re-survey of all plans for the Hyperion plant.

Stoker, boy scout vice sleuth won his merit badge by setting a trap for Brenda, pleaded innocent to burglary yesterday and faces preliminary hearing next Thursday before municipal Judge Leroy Dawson. Miss Davis, whom Stoker used as the lure in his trap, also was suspended by Chief William Worton when Stoker was arrested and arraigned.

Nude Photos The ample-hipped Miss Davis also told Stanley her former boyfriend broke into her apartment last Saturday and stole photos of her taken in the nude nine years ago by her ex-husband, an art student. Stoker posted $1000 bail on the burglary charge. The pandering case against Brenda Allen collapsed yesterday with Miss Davis' confession that she lied on the witness stand when she testified Brenda solicited her to work as a prostitute. Stoker directed her to get in touch with Brenda before he led the raid in which she was arrested May 5, 1948, Miss Davis said, and then instructed her to testify: "Tell them Brenda called you." Judge William R. McKay, who presided at the trial and later sentenced Brenda, agreed yesterday that the perjury confession was grounds for Brenda's release.
