The mountain is going to come to Mohammed in Muni-
cipal Court 3, Sept. 14. All the records of the
1950-51 have been subpenaed. Nobody knows why . ,
except for one man John Carson, defense lawyer, and he’s not talking. The story is one of confusion and short tempers dealing with those nasty little parking stickers. t Mr. Carson is defending two gentlemen wh® have a modest collection of stickers; James W.

Bargain Rate Mr. Gottschall, former employee of the State Gross Income Tax Division, paid off 17 of his tickets last March and got a bargain value. According to court records he only paid $15 to clear up 17 tickets which would usually run about $34. Both Mr. Gottschall and Mr. Kirby slated themselves for court. Why? Nobody knows, except Mr. Gotschall, Mr. Kirby and possibly Mr. Carson.

Peiping Hints Another Type of Lesson—
Final Break: n Truce Talk
Ridgway Calls Raid a Fake
By United Press TOKYO. Wednesday. Aug. 29--Radio Peiping, the voice of Red China, said today that the Kaesong armistice talks “have come to a serious crisis.” “American imperialists” must bear the responsibility if negoti-' ations break down, Peiping said.’ The broadcast was one of. the strongest blasts at the United States “in recent weeks by the Communist propaganda machine. Gen. Matthew. B, Ridgway’s Supreme Headquarters charged that the Communists used one of their own airplanes to stage a fake bombing of Kaesong. Obviously Staged His statement repeated that no United Nations airplane of any description was over Kaesong at the time of the alleged bombing of the armistice conference neutral zone. “Our air alert system reported that an unidentified aircraft approached Kaesong from the west at 11:20 p. m., the exact time of the alleged attack,” the statement said. “Since no United Nations command aircraft was in the area, it is beyond doubt that this Communist “aircraft. All evidence establishes the conclusion that “the Communists nerpetrated a deliberate fraud.” the statement said. “Obvious, tod. is the fact that the entire scene. including the investigation thereof, was staged by the Communists for the henefit of their photographers. and newsmen.”
