FOURTH JUROR (Continued from page one) ment from Miss Hayes, 24-year-old medical technician, that she was intimate with Dr. Sheppard more than once last spring while they were in California. Two men and a woman have been tentatively seated to hear the first degree murder charges 30-vear-old old osteopath. Ten other Samuel H. Sheppard, including an alternate, remain to be chosen.

The name of Miss Susan Hayes, auburn-haired and a star prosecution witness, popped up yesterday as defense attorneys argued unsuccessfully for permission to ask prospective jurors their views on adultery. The state claims Miss Hayes, a pretty, 24-year-old hospital technician with a cute spray of freckles across her nose, has admitted she was intimate with Sheppard last March while both were in Califor. nia. Four months later, July Sheppard's blonde and pregnant wife, Marilyn. 31, was found bludgeoned to death in their home along Lake Erie.

Sheppard, who pleaded innocent, maintained his wife was killed by 8 bushy-haired man who also knocked him unconscious in a battie that raged through the Sheppard home and ended on the lake shore outside. Defense Counsel William J. Corrigan told Common Pleas Judge Edward Blythin that "some people consider a sexual crime or sex deviation even worse than and later declared, "I know that in the evidence they (the state) will bring in testimony on extra-marital relations Waving an arm toward some 50 reporters packed in the rear of the courtroom, Corrigan demanded: "What do you suppose all of these people are here for, these reporters. They're here because there's a sex angle in it. The argument came up when the judge sustained an objection to a question Corrigan put to Edmund L.

Verlinger, a 29-year-old hardware store manager who was the third juror selected. Corrigan asked: that the "Suppose defendant evidence had is affairs produced with another woman, or women, would that produce in you a feeling of ill will towards the defendant that would prejudice you?" Defense Attorney Fred W. Gar. mone first injected the name of Miss Hayes into the trial. While questioning Mrs.

Elizabeth A. Borke, 8 plump housewife and mother who was the second juror seated, Garmone asked: "Have you ever heard of or do you know a young lady whose name is Susan Hayes?" Mrs. Borke said she bad not and then Garmone added that "it may develop during this trial that testimony in this case may divulge that Sam Sheppard may have had affairs with other women besides his wife." Judge Blythin steered the questioning away from the sex opinions of the prospective jurors. He told the defense that "we're not trying anyone for any sex offense. the court is satisfied it is not proper line of inquiry here at this time." Corrigan told reporters yesterday that he did not think Sheppard would get a fair and impartial trial in Cuyahoga County.

He has twice asked Judge Blythin to postpone the trial and move it to another county. Two of the three jurors selected Monday and yesterday have received copies of a threatening letter which were mailed recently to several members of the panel. The two, Mrs. Borke and Verlinger, said the letters did not influence them in any way. The third juror is Howard Barrish, a timekeeper at a steel firm here.

EISENHOWER LAUNCHES SPEECHMAKING TOUR HARTFORD, Conn. (P)-President Eisenhower arrived at nearby Bradley Field at 9:15 a.m. today to start a crowded two days of speechmaking and politicking in Connecticut and New York. He was greeted by a special committee headed by Gov. John Lodge to whom the President gave a snappy salute, put out his hand and said "Glad to see you, happy birthday." "Thank you, sir," said Connectcut's Republican governor, brating his 51st birthday today.

The President came here to receive an honorary degree from Trinity College and to speak briefly. Afterward he was scheduled to drive to Bushnell Park, near the state capitol, to join in a birthday party for Lodge, a candidate for reelection. In between two major "nonpartisan" addresses, the President hoped to marshal votes for Republican congressional and state candidates. GOP campaign leaders, conceding some anxiety, have told Eisenhower they can win the Nov. 2 election if they can get his supporters to the polls.

The first major address, to be broadcast nationally on radio and television, will be delivered in New York City tonight at a celebration of the 300th anniversary of the founding of the Jewish faith in America. It is scheduled for 10 p.m., EST. THE BLOCKING FOOL FORT WORTH, Tex. -Coaches around the Texas Christian University campus are calling sophom*ore center Joe Williams "the blocking fool."

KIWANIANS HEAR ABOUT SHIFT IN POPULATION Kiwanians attending the regudinner meeting of the last evening at Hotel Washington were could told by a professor of the Pennsylvania State University that America's population is steadily moving from the rural to the urban area.

Speaking on "Improvements in Farming Methods Farm Machinery," Elwood Olver pointed out that in the late 1800s approximately 85 per cent of the country's population was to be found on farms, and at that time, he noted, there were persons for every acre of farmland. The situation has changed, he asserted, for according to statistics only 15 per cent of the population is on farms and there is one person to every four acres of land. In contrasting the American farm life with that of Asia, Mr. Olver observed that in Asia today there is only one-half acre of farmland per person, while America has four acres for every person. Mechanization and rural electrification compensate for the loss in America's farm population, he said.

Following his talk, Mr. Olver showed slides depicting the improvements made in farming equipment and machinery during the past 50 years. It was reported that to date wards of 800 dozens of roses had been sold for "Rose Day," which will be observed on Friday. Recipient of the door award donated by John Morris was Robert Maclay.
