Morey May
Take Stand
For Defense
State Rests Case
In Murder Trial
By BARNES CONNABLE
{William R. Morey, III, accused
of wielding the murder weapon in
the Sept. 16 mallet-slaying of
Nurse Pauline A. Campbell, is ex-
pected to take the Circuit Court
,witness stand today in his own
defense.
Ann Arbor attorney Ralph C
-Keyes, counsel for the Ypsilanti
youth, refused yesterday to revea]
what the defense's line of attack
will be. However, he said, "In
Morey's case, it is a question of the
degree of guilt."
MOREY and co-defendants Ja-
cob Max Pell of Ypsilanti and Da-
vid L. Royal of Milan have been
charged with first degree murder
by Prosecutor Douglas K. Reading.
Pell and Royal are accused of aid-
ing in the crime.
After the prosecution rested
its case early in the afternoon,
the defense moved dismissal of
the charges. Motions by the
three attorneys were over-ruled
by Circuit Judge James R.
Breakey, Jr.
The defense moves were based
on a claim that the corpus delicti
has not been established. The cor-
'pus delicti is the actual death of
the person alleged to be murdered
as a result of a criminal agency.
Defense has hinted at an incom-
plete autopsy as a loop-hole in
the state's case.
THE COURTROOM was filled to
capacity yesterday as the trial drew
its largest crowd to date. The cor-
ridor outside the chamber was the
scene of a huge line all day.
Some waited in the massive
queue for as long as 4 hours only
to find the proceedings adjourned
shortly after entering. Others were
content to crouch at the courtroom
door and listen through the cracks.
The trial will resume at 9 a.m.

PARIS-(A)-President Auriol of

President Truman, Prime Minister
Churchill and Prime Minister Sta-

remarks cautiously, with an indi-
cation Stalin would wait to see if
a formal bid comes from the West.

78,000 votes ahead. Halley, who promised to wipe out official corrup-
tion, ran on Independent-Fusion-Liberal Tickets.
MEANWHILE, AS A BIG snowstorm interferred with yesterday's
municipal elections in Michigan, incumbent Mayor Albert E. Cobo of
Detroit got off to an early lead and maintained it throughout the eve-

Allies Reject
Red Proposal
As Deceptive
By The Associated Press
The United Nations command
yesterday refused to consider what
it regarded as a trick Communist
proposal to call off the fighting
in Korea immediately without pro-
viding for the exchange of prison-
ers or supervision of an armistice.
Growing doubt and suspicion
marked the continued deadlock
over where to draw a cease-fire
line across the embattled peninsu-
la. There was considerable doubt
among observers that any speedy
settlement could be reached.

Communist subcommittees met at

But Refuses
To Talk Politics
WASHINGTON - (fP) - Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower left him-
self prominently in the presiden-
tial picture yesterday.
Although refusing anew to tal
politics while heading the combin-
ed Western European Defense
Force, the general stirred fresh
hope in the Ike - for - President
ranks by declaring:
1-"If the time ever comes I
feel that my duty compels me to
say a word of any kind (about
politics) I will do so positively
and definitely."
2-If his friends-such as Sena-
tor Duff (R-Pa.), a leader of the
Eisenhower-for-President drive-
"believe they know how I would
react, that is their business and I
never interfere in their business."
3-He hopes, and has hoped ever
since he accepted the job, that his
European assignment won't last,
"too long"-but he declined to saya
how long he expects it will last.

Eight inch Fall
Clogs Highways
Midwest Hard Hit by Early Storm;
St. Louis Paralyzed by Foot of Snow
By CRAWFORD YOUNG
An eight-inch blanket of heavy, wet snow yesterday sent the
weatherman scurrying for his record books.
Galoshes, sleds and chains were hauled out of attics, as Ann
Arbor was buried by the heaviest snowstorm in early November his-
tory. Streets and sidewalks were clogged. with white as the pre-winter
wonderland took the area by surprise.
The heavy snowfall cut a wet, white swath from Kansas and Okla-
homa up into Ohio and Michigan, the Associated Press reported. St.
Louis was stricken with its worst blizzard in 39 years, as a foot of
snow paralyzed the area. Four to eight inches generally fell through-
out Lower Michigan.
LOCALLY, transportation appeared to be straightening out after
serious snarls yesterday afternoon and evening. Police reported a bad
traffic tie-up in town from 4:30 to* *
6 p.m., but said that main arteries
were kept open and traffic was fl li lt
moving slowly later on.
All flights from Willow Run
Airport were cancelled last night,
while trains were reported- an
hour behind schedule.
Bus officials laughed when ask-
ed if their schedules were being
kept-and reported that most bus-
es were running two hours behind
time.

NO SERIOUS accidents occured
locally yesterday, according to po-
lice. However, many minor bumps
were reported-traffic moved so
slowly over treacherous roads that
bad collisions were made unlikely,
they explained.
However, in Adrian, Ann Ar-
borites were involved in a fatal
accident. Paula Jeanne Bern-
stein, three-year-old daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Bern-
stein, 1461 University Terrace,
was killed and her mother criti-
cally injured as their car spun
into a tank truck on a glazed
highway.
In Detroit, the biggest traffic
tie-up in history resulted from the
slushy streets and fast-falling rain,
sleet and snow. Cars lined up for
hours as police sought to unsnarl
the motorists.
