MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN Monday, February 18, 1953 Traffic Accidents Local and Personal 1 IIMI I Tl I I I Carnival Lovers In New Orleans Prepare Climax New Orleans U.R) Thousands of fun lovers prepared today for a fantastic climax to the fabulous six-week carnival sea-son in this city that care forgot. They cast worries aside, for tomorrow is Mardi Gras day. time for a last fling before the start of the somber 40-day Lenten season at midnight with the advent of Ash Wednesday. But there won't be as many gilded coconuts as in the past. The Krewe of Zulu, the Negro carnival organization which sometimes steals the spotlight from Rex Lord of Misrule and King of Mardi Gras day, admitted rather sadly that it has seen better days.

This year's king, Noel White, a porter in a South Rampart street bar said there will be coconuts, but they won't be tossed out with the wild abandon, of the past; they'll be handed out gently. Monoy Not So Fro "Money just isn't flowing as freely as it used to and Til have only a handful this year, about 2,000," he said. In the past as many as 6,000 of the much-sought after nuts have been tossed to Zulu's admiring subjects. The golden nuts have always been one of the most highly prized of Mardi Gras favors. Past Zulu kings have tossed them with such emphasis that they have broken windows and in some cases sent spectators to the hospital with head injuries.

In Britain 16,000 troops and civilians stood guard behind sand bag reinforced North Sea walls along a 300-mile stretch of the British east coast. Behind them other troops wated in reserve. Millions of sandbags were piled at strategic spots. Flood officials said if winds across the North Sea climbed to gale force there might be a repetition of the destruction caused February 1. In Amsterdam, officials said early today flood scene reports indicated the situation was well in hand and no new danger spots and no new breaches in flood-weakened dikes had -been reported.

In Belgium the first high waters of the spring tides smashed through hurriedly plugged dikes in the River Schelde banks and more water flowed into already inundatd lands upriver from Antwerp. la Portland Mr. and Mrs. Fred Pinkstaff, Phoenix, are in Portland visiting a son.

Blonde Call Girl Ignores Audience On Way To Testify New York (U.R) Blonde Barbara Harmon strode into court today without a glance at the corridor spectators to testify in the Minot F. (Mickey) Jelke vice case which still was being conducted behind locked doors. The 31-year-old TV actress was in sharp contrast to 19-year-old Pat Ward, the state's first major witness against Jelke, who had obligingly held corridor interviews throughout her four days on the witness stand. Expected To Tell Sates Assistant District Attorney Anthony J.

Liebler said she was expected to testify to scores of vice dates she and Miss Ward kept at the urging of young Jelke. Miss Ward had testified that after joining Miss Harmon, she made between $10,000 and $15,000 in 20 weeks as a cafe society prostitute. Before Miss Harmon was called to the stand the state presented two handwriting experts who testified, regarding checks allegedly made out to Miss Ward by her customers and endorsed by both her and Jelke. Miss Harmon was expected to substantiate the state's claim that Jelke forced the 19-year-old Miss Ward into the life of a $500-a-week prostitute. The heir to $3,000,000 of a margarine fortune faced possible sentence up to 146 years, if found guilty on seven counts of a Grand Jury indictment charging him with conspiracy to peddle the love favors of 11 nightclub glamor girls and live off their earnings.

The trial, which began a week ago, has been closed to the press and public by Judge Francis L. Valente, who said he acted in "the interest of public morals."
