MILLER CASE (Continued From Pago One)' sleek gray sedan in the direction of Thompson hospitaL Mrs. Cur rin, David Miller and an unidenti fied woman accompanied Mrs. Miller to the hospital. In the meantime, defense at torney’s stid solicitor F. Ertyle Carlyle had agreed to postpone the trial until 2:30 o’clock this afternoon. The small Robeson county court room was filled to capacity when Judge Morris took the bench at 2:18 o’clock this afternoon. Ex actly two minutes later the bat tery of defense attorney’s head ed by W. S. Britt entered the room. Close behind him followed the other three attorneys of Mrs. Miller, T. A. McNeill, Dickson Mc Lean and H. C. Stacy. Solicitor F. Ertyle Carlyle enter ed the hushed room at 2:25 o’clock. After the afternoon session was opened by Robeson county Sheriff Willis C. Britt, Judge Morris an nounced that he had conferred with the physicians and asked the solicitor and defense attorney’s to meet him in the judges’ chambers. About 10 minutes later Judge Morris took the bench and as the courtroom again came to order he leaned forward and announced that the physicians had reported the condition of Mrs. Miller as “unchanged.” Judge Morris said that he want ed to make it clear so that there was no uncertainty in the minds of anyone why auch procedure had been followed. He said, “This miming while 1 was enroute from the hotel to the courthouse, 1 was told that the de fendant was in a car in the rear of the courthouse in a coma.” He said he considered the ‘‘informa tion authentic and immediately or dered two local physicains, who were agreed upon by the solicitor and defense attorney’s, to examine the defendant.” The Judge said shortly after the two doctors had examined Mrs. Miller and reported she was in “an unconscious condition” he ordered the case postponed until 2:30 o’clock “in order that the physicians might make a further examination.” "I have just been informed by the physicians that the condition of Mrs. Miller is unchanged.” Judge Morris continued. “The doctors tell me she has a pulse of 120 and a blood pressure of 114 over 80.” According to the phy sician, Judge Morris said, “Mrs. Miller does not know what is going on and she is not able to plead at this time.” Judge Maoris expressed the thanks of the court to the local physicians and ordered the clerk to issue checks to compensate them for their services. Solicitor Carlyle excused the state witnesses and the 75 jurors summoned for the trial until the September term of court. Defense attorneys likewise excused the de fense witnesses. The capacity filled courtroom almost cleared after these an nouncements were made. In the meantime, Fred Wiggins, 21-year-old Negro farm hand, who is alleged to have confessed that Mrs. Miller hired him to shoot her husband with his own pistol and “make it look like a suicide” sat in the prisoners box. The Negro has been unable to make $15,000 bond and has been con fined to the Robeson county jail since he was arrested on May 11. At one time during the morning session, Wiggin’s 17-year-old wife, Eula, and his five-months-old baby went over to see him and the young Negro held his baby in his lap for the first time in over four months. Wiggins was expected to testify for the state against Mrs. Miller. He was placed back in the Robeson county jail shortly after the post ponement was announced. Attorney F. L. Adams of Row land, who is counsel for David Miller but is not appearing either for the prosecution or defense in Mrs. Miller’s trial told newsmen that Mrs. Miller had been con fined to her bed for several days prior to today. He said that her father had carried her from her bed this morning and brought hei to the courthouse because she was summoned to appear and that her father did not know what else to do. “She spent a sleepless night and had been highly nervous for sev eral days,” the attorney said. Accompanying Mrs. Miller to the courthpuse were her two crildren, her husband, Davild Miller, her parents, her brother, and other relatiyes and friends. David Miller, who forgave his wife, after a ten day “second honeymoon”, was in the court house when his wife collapsed. He spotted photographers and scored them about taking any pictures.” If I were well, you wouldn’t take any pictures,” he said. No Pictures No pictures were taken of Mrs. Miller. Judge Morris was inform ed that photographers were in the vicinity where the defendant was ill in the car and expressed the wish to Sheriff Willis Britt that no gictures be taken of the defendant at that time. The judges opinion was reported to photog raphers who agreed not to disturb the defendant. Mrs. Miller late tonight was * patient in room 233 at the Thomp son memorial hospital. Attaches did not conjment on her condition. David Miller was approached by reporters on the street shortly after the case was ordered con tinued and asked if he had any comment. "No, you people leave me alone,’’ he replied.’’ I am a sick man and I don’t want to talk to any of you. Just go away and leave me alone.’’—He was appar ently speaking about the photog raphers at this time. "You news paper people leave me alone, I don’t want to talk to you,” he said. BRITISH LOAN (Continued From Page One) find out what they have on their minds.” He denied London 'rumors that the United States is considering a boost in the price it pays for gold from $35 to $50 an ounce. Such a step would give Britain and other countries with gold reserves more dollars to be used until the Mar shall plan for European recovery becomes effective. Snyder emphasized that the talks would not go “further than the loan agreement.” There has been “no talk, no dis cussion” of an increase in the price of gold, he said, although he has the right “under certain circum stances,” to increase it. Rumors that the United States was ready to take such a step have cropped up repeatedly in foreign countries, but they have been de nied by Treasury and State Depart ment officials. Snyder confirmed that he will go to London for a September 10 meeting with officials of the Inter national Bank and monetary fund. He is governor of the fund. Both Snyder and Secretary of State George C. Marshall have em phasized that the British are not asking for money at this time. It also was understood that they are not asking for any changes in the interest rate or repayment ar rangements. The British specifically are ex pected to ask for modification ol the so-called convertability clause and the import discrimination clause in the loan agreement. Both have forced the British to make large outlays in U. S. dol lars since they became effective. Snyder and Marshall have dis agreed over whether these changes would require congressional ap proval. Marshall said he did not think it was necessary but Snyder said flatly “that it will take Con gressional action.” Congress and the British Parlia ment approved the pact before it went into effect on July 15, 1946. If modifications require Congres sional approval there is no chance of getting them before next year unless a special session of Con gress is called this fall on foreign relations.

(U.P)—Nebraska’s new state song well might be "How Ya Gonna Keep Them Down on the Farm?” According to statistics, in the last 10 years Nebraska boys and girls not only have left the farms rapidly but also have left the state. . Dr. H. C. Filley, professor ol rural economics at the University of Nebraska college of agriculture, said the trend to move away from tte farm is “normal.” due large ly to the fact that Nebraska farms have been getting larger and few er in number, while farm families have increased in size. “There are twice as many chil dren born on farms as there are in the cities,” Filley said. The increase in the size of the farm families coupled with the coming of new and better farm machinery has left the farm boy and girl with time on their hands. Mine White Coal ST.

' GANDHI HAS NO PEACE MESSAGE CALCUTTA, India, Aug. 13—(U.R) —Mohandas K. Gnadhi, the father of Indian independence, gloomily surveyed the burned or deserted shacks around his new ‘peace mission” headquarters tonight and announced he would have no independence day message. His headquraters had just been invaded by a mob of his own peo ple, the Hindus. Booing in anger, they also had thrown stones through the windows, although none came into the room where Gandhi was. Hindus generally treat Gandhi as though he is a near saint. Gandhi, whose voice has been raised in the cause of Indian in dependence through most of his 78 years, said he would have no mes sage to mark the occasion when India receives its independence as two dominions at midnight tomor row. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, a vet eran leader of the national con gress (Hindu i party and home minister in the interim govern ment, had specifically asked him for a message. So had his secre tary, Mi’idulla Sarabhai, the daughter of a wealthy mill owner and publisher. Gandhi refused both requests and members of his entourage said he appeared to be ‘the most despondent, man in India.” Part of this despondency was due to the Hindu mob. They foic ed him to abandon his usual nightly prayer meeting. The,Hindus were reported to be angered over Gandhi’s moving in to a district where the Moslem minority has been chased out, rather than an area where Hindus were the chief sufferers. The house in which he set up his head quarters used to belong to a Mos lem family. It fled for fear of its members’ lives.

The collection showed the clever, ness of design ^nd presentation in herited from Frederick Worth, pioneer couturier ■who invented the hoopskirt and was the first to use live models to display his wares. Roger, current source of Worth’s inspiration, designed sleeves which' were tight to the elbow and then flared into a large bell. In a cocktail dress called "fol low,” he showed a neck yoke with a three-inch band of heavy tassels, finished off with jet beads, which jingled as the model walked. Although his dresses offered a minimum of drapery at the hip, and only sometimes tapered off into a flowing line at the back of the skirt, the general trend of the collection was toward a softened figure, with full skirts’ and slightly rounded shoulders.
