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. World News Roundup By The Associated Press By The Associated Press NEW YORK - Shippers kept their fingers crossed yesterday as some stevedores went back to work on New York's strike-crippled wat-! erfront.

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. NONETHELESS, Allied and Communist subcommittees met at 8 p.m. yesterday (Ann Arbor time) Hope for Ike Supporters Still_-Se en 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. All this was far from a declara- 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. 1 ByWinter's Snowy13 lst By JOYCE FICKIES The campus gave a grin and a moan today as winter hit with all the snowy blasting force it could muster.
