BARNARD TOKYO — Dorothy Krueger Smith was quoted in court today as saying, “Too bad I didn’t get him in the heart” while her hus- band lay bleeding to death of a ‘wound, The witness was Lt. Col. Joseph Hardin of Dallas. He said he ent- ered the bedroom of Col. and Mrs. Aubrey Smith a few “miputes after the officer was stabbed at midnight Oct. 3. Dorothy Smith is on, trial, before an Army court martial ona Charge of premeditated murder. Hardin testified that onthe fatal night she was groping a dressing table, apparently search- ing for something. He said she wore only panties and bra. Smith was on his bed with a knife wound in his side. “Did you hear Mrs. Smith make any statement?” Lt. Col. W. H. H. Jones, prosecuting attorney, asked Hardin. “Yes,” Hardin replied. “It was to the effect that ‘It’s too bad I didn’t get him in the heart.’ Hardin testified also that Mrs. Smith seemed either drunk or drugged, was not rational, was “unable to coordinate her physical movements and was mostly unin- telligible. Finally, he added, the attractive . 40-year-old daughter of Gen, Wal- ter Krueger and the mother of two children, “seemingly passed out.” Other witnesses variously testi- fied she was asleep, in a coma or unconscious. The second day of the dramatic | 8 trial then recessed until tomorrow. The case is being heard by a “blue ribbon’’ nine-member general court martial board, headed by a major general. Hardin said he found Smith pale, perspiring and in great pain. Hardin, a golfing partner of Smith’s, accompanied him to an Army hospital. He expressed “dis- gust with tragic delays encount- ered” at getting medical treatment for Smith. As to a possible motive, one wit- ness, Lt. Col. Melvin A. Goers of Champaign, 11!., who accompanied Hardin to the Smith home, said he heard the defendant make one statement. “To the best of my recollection,” he said, “the statement was to the effect that ‘no one will ever know the reason why.’” Defense counsel has not an- nounced on what Mrs. Smith’s de- fense will be based. However, it has indicated the main defense would be temporary insanity, CITY COMMISSION (Continued trom Page One) allowed to proceed only in a south- erly direction on that Street, a study which proved that the acci- dent rate has been reduced over one hundred per cent since the date when the change was made.

McCarty said tourists should be treated as investors, not spenders; and must be shown the tax money they contribute is soundly spent and supports a government that is ‘morally clean. He advocated reorganization and consolidation of conservation serv- ices, more agricultural research and “additional money and ef- fort” for health, welfare, educa- tion and institutional care. The serious young businessman- farmer who made the governor- ship on his second attempt said “all personnel on the public pay- roll must recognize an obligation of service in the performance of their duties.” “There will be no tickets issued to anyone for a gravy train ride. + , efficiency, loyalty and courtesy will be primary requisites in public service. These must be maintained at all levels of gov- ernment so that public service will be, in fact, a sacred trust.” He: repeated his pre-inaugural pledge that “I will not tolerate lax law enforcement at any level, I will remove from public office any official who breaks faith with the people and is unworthy of public trust.” “I want us to have a good gov- ernment housecleaning. The kind all good housekeepers know they should have at home from time to time. “This doesn’t mean that all the furniture and furnishings should be broken up and thrown out the win- dow. But it does mean a good airing out and that the dirt—and rust—and corrosion—which have accumulated in the corners and dark closets must go. “All unnecessary and useless ar- ticles which may be lying around cluttering up the place also must 0. “In other words, I want us to get our government house in ap- ple pie order—for our own good. health and enjoyment—and for some very important company which will be dropping by to see us—the millions of tourists and new investors—and new citizens— who will be coming our way. “Economic stability is funda- mental to the sound growth and continued prosperity. “We depend primarily on three chief sources of income for our jcitizens of Florida — tourists, ag- jriculture and industry. It will be ithe objective of this administra jtion to foster, promote and devel- omy. “We can thus stabilize our eco- }momic structure and meet any sit- uation which otherwise might jeop- ardize the economic welfare of our citizens. “We must realize that our tour- | jop these basic phases of our econ- | and churches and law enforcement | *! we have provided above ground. “He is not content to look at on the display shelves; he wants to know what we are carrying in the storerooms arid under the counters. “Our visitors no longer pay one- demanding to know where the money goes, They should be told the truth. “We must be able to show that it is soundly spent; that it sup- at the same time dynamically progressive—a government deter- security for business and labor as well as for personal health and happiness. “We must let our visitors know that we want to use their brains, their vision, ‘their civic minded- ness, their enthusiasm, and not just their dollars; that we want them as partners so that together’ we can build better farms, and better businesses and better com- munities, and a better state.” McCarty, who holds an agricul- tune degree from the University of Florida, said ‘our opportunities in the field of agriculture are un- limited but require increased re- search and experimental facilities. “It will be my intention to of- fer close support and co-operation to all the agricultural interests of the state. We shall strive for max- imum production at minimum cost, favorable marketing conditions, and fair prices for the grower.” He said “conservation and the development of our natural re- sources are essential to agricul- ture, tourism and industry. A sound conservation program offers a real challenge in Florida. “Today we find many separate boards and agencies in existence in this field. “It is my sincere hope that through reorganization and consol- idation more may be accomplished jin the, field of conservation and jbetter services rendered our citi- zens at less cost.” McCarty said “The humanitari- an responsibilities of government have assumed new | during the past two decades. | “Local, state and federal gov- |eraments share responsibility proportions | the goods we polish up and put | Beth third of our state taxes without | 6, “pi? ports a government that is moral- | Firestone ly clean, rock-ribbed efficient and | Fia mined to provide here in Florida | Ghiaden holidays with classes held at San Carlos School, 516 Duval Street.
