AUSTIN (—Dist. Judge Charles
O. Betts today overruled a defense
motion to instruct the jury to find
Bascom Giles innocent on a charge
of stealing $6,800 from the state.
The defense had asked the action
on grounds that the state failed to
make a case against the former
land commissioner and head of the
100 million dollar veteran’s land
program.
The motion said the state had
wholly failed to show any violation
of any of the penal codes of the
State of Texas;
2. To connect the defendant with
the offense alleged in the indict-
ment;
3. To corroborate the accomplice
witnesses who testified in the trial.
Trial proceeded immediately
with the calling of first defense
witnesses. It had been recessed
since yesterday at midafternoon to
allow the defense time to prepare
its motion. Dist. Aty. Les Procter
rested the state’s case a 3:10 p.m.
The specific transaction in con-
nection with which Giles is charged
with theft of $6,800 in state funds
was the Nov. 4. 1954, sale of the
10,114-acre Rosenow Ranch in Kin-
ney County to 54 veterans.
Giles also is charged with abett-
ing the alleged theft. Jointly in-

In discussing disarmament, a
major topic on the conference
agenda, the President said he
would like to address his remarks
particularly to 1 e Soviet delega-

that because both the United

terrible weapons in such quanti-
ties as to make horrible destruc-

GENEVA (The Russians are

I ident Eisenhower so far seems to
1 be the dominant personality at the
summit conference.
Premier Bulganin and Moscow’s
other delegates have attracted
much attention Tough-minded cus-
tomers around the conference
directors and
area were opposed to the choir on
the grounds that it is more a city
group than a county organization,
and as such should be supported
locally.
When asked for a statement on
the Fund action, Dr. Hal V. Nor-
gaard, chairman of the board for
the Boy Choir, said, “It was news
to me. I have no comment until
after I know the facts,” adding,
"It was a surprise to me.”
Practically the same reason was
given for denial of an application
submitted for the first time by
the Lewisville Boy Choir. Tom
Laney, president of the United
Fund, said the Lewisville organi-
zation was a local group, and
Berkeley detectives, Dist. Atty.
J. Frank Coakley of Alameda and
others were en route here this
morning to confirm identification
of the body. Also along was Steph-
ante's dentist. Dr. Reginald Han-
son of Oakland.
In the basement of Abbott's rent-
ed home in Alameda last week
his wife found a red leather purse
which was identified as belonging
to Stephanie Bryan. Police suh-

nature of their organization.
In a letter to Laney, Bob Jones,
president of the Optimist Club, re-
quested resignation of the boys’
club, stating the Optimists would
conduct a separate fund-raising
campaign as they did prior to
membership in the Fund.
Both the Denton Civic Boy
Choir and the Optimist Boys Club
have been members of the Den-
ton County United Fund since the
Fund began two years ago.
The budget for the 1955 campaign
is 88.494 less than for the 1954
drive; not quite the 89,000 budget-
ed for the Boys’ Choir and the
Boys' Club in 1954.
Discussion of the budget and its
passage were completed in less
than 45 minutes. None of the 15

tions.
