DURHAM (W _ Pajairia

his hospital room here to

His aides said they hope he will

next wei k. Umstead suffered a
heart attack on Jan. 11. ’
“But that hasn’t been determined
yet definitely.” Umstead said.
The 58-year-old ch'ef executive
appeared in good spirits as four
reporters and his private secretary
Ed Rankin, trapped into his room.
Umstead, wearing blue pajamas,
reclined on the bed, his head on
pillows. He tucked the bedcovers
under his chin.
It was the first time that re
porters had talked directly to the
Governor since Jan. 9, the day fol
lowing his inauguration—the day
that Umstead worked In shlrt
sleevs rearranging furniture in
I th» executive suite of the Capitol.
Suffering from a deep cold, a
lingering cough and exhaustion,
Umstead returned to his home
here to rest Jan. 10 and during a
i fit of eough'ng that night suffered
a heart seizure.
He was unaware of the heart
attack but after diagnosis doctojA
announced that Umstead had suf
fered a “mild” heart attack and
would remdre a complete rest.
FEELING FINE

Vice Trial Has
Juror Treuble
YOR Oft —• The^vlce
testimony today' with the select
ion of only five more jurors need
ed. , .
The son of a millionaire was ex
pected to have as the first witness
agains him vivacious and vibrant
Pat Ward. 19, who says she is his
jilted sweetheart.
The pre-testimony portion of the
trial speeded up yesterday with
prodding from Judge Francis L.
Valente. Six members of the blue
ribbon jury panel were selected,
twice as many as were selected in
the opening day Monday. Fourteen
are to be selected altogether, 12
jurors and two alternates—all men.
Miss Ward, a model, attempted
suicide in the apartment of night
club singer Martha Raye last May,
reportedly because Jelke had refus
ed to marry her. Shortly there
after. she went to the district at
torney’s office and told a story of
being placed, by Jelke. in a house
of prostitution operated by red
haired Erica Steel, another material
witness in the case.
Officially, there were no new pro
nouncements on what direction the
trial would take, but a prosecution
spokesman offered jittery case soc
iety some relief. He deflated re
ports that hundreds of Jelke’s re
puted customers might be named
during the proceedings.
