"Thr answer ab ut how to read in bed without getting cold Irarn Braille." said a reader named John Ripon. He quoted the late Lord Grey who became almost totally blind as once saying: "You people have no idea to read in bed. But it is all riht for me. I keep the book under the bedclot'ien."

Realistic readers In a nation that still regards central heating as a strange, unhealthy American custom Immediately challenged his lordship. "It would be a great service to those of us who not en'ov central heating if he, or any kind render, could suggest how this can be done without hards and rhouldcrs becoming numb with "old," wrote Sidney Morris. rd Birkctt replied: "I can only say that I have no central heating in my bedroom, but find that one bar of an electric fire and a thick sweater defeat the coldest nights. The important thing is to warm the bed with a hot water bottle or an electric blanket before getting intj it." A reader named John S. Cum-mings wrote to the Times, saying: "Tiy reversing your dressing gown and wearing it outside the bed covers a practice which I have found successful for many years."

Two patrolmen suf fcred from an. overdose of tear gas. Broken glass and other debris Uttered Virginia Street between Harold's Club and a earner bank building. Two huge flower pots, weighing more than a ton each were dumped in the gutter. Police, reinforced by highway patrolmen, kept a close watch on the downtown area until dawn when a few die-hards were stil heaving bottles.

The rioting, the tear gas and the powerful streams of water didn't faze customers of nearby open-door casinos. They kept dropping coins in slot machines while tears rolled down their faces. Patrolman Charles Watkins said the trouble started when he and a fellow officer stopped a gang of youths who had swarmed over a small foreign car. The rc vclers were trapping cars am kissing their female occupanis Trouble started when one woman resisted. There was a howl from the crowd when the romantic celeb rants were dumped in a police, car.

One youth dashed up and kicked out a headlight then the spread. The police car, its windshield shattered, had to be pushed out of the firing line later. Hooting rioters kept other police cars trapped. "None of us got hurt thank God for that," Watkins said. Police reinforcements and a tear gas attack only mfuriavj the crowd.

One man defiantly kicked a skittering tear gas bomb into a casino. Water quieted the crowd. After firemen played their hoses up and down the street the riotvrs were broken up "into heckling groups. Fire Chief Wagner Sorscn said it was the first time he could re member that the fire hose treat' had to be used ton Reno crowds. Police Chief Elmer Briscoe, wet up his knees, said the open-door casinos frustrated attempts to it-store order.

"If we could have pushed them inside we could have broken it up," he said. "But they just running in for more drinks and bottles." R. F. Walters Of Summerville Passes At Home SUMMERVILLE, S.C. Richard Furman Walters, 60, of Summerville died Sunday at his residence.

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) A new council of state vowing Immediate restora-tlon of all public liberties waa worn in Monday, thus ending the era of Trujillo dictatorship, Rafael Donnelly, a lawyer-teacher destined to guide the nation for the next 13 months, declared all citizens would be allowed to meet and discuss all issues freely "because truth can be achieved only through con scientious and dispassionate dis cusslon." As vice-president of the seven-member council, he will succeed President Joaquin Balagucr, who is expected to step down, possibly within a week.

Balaguer, in turn, in a radio address appealed "to all men of goodwill and patriotism" to help the council mold a democratic nation. Balaguer, who struggled to achieve some democratic reforms In the chaos that followed Generalissimo Rafael L. Trujillo's as sassination last May, swore in the other six members. Most of them fought the Trujillo dictatorship; two are the only survivors of a band of 12 that mapped the assassination. The council will wield all legislative and executive powers until a new congress and president are elected next December.

A new government will be installed early in 1963. While calling for free discus sions, Bonnelly, 54, warned against any military interference in the council's affairs. He also counseled the people against listening "to false promises," an apparent reference to Castroite leftist extremists In the nation. The armed forces, Bonnelly said, must restrict their activities "to the defense of the independ ence and Integrity of the republic, to maintain order and respect for the rights of man." Maj. Gen.

Pedro Rodriguez Echavarria, chief of the armed forces, stood behind Bonnelly, his face expressionless, as the lawyer made these remarks in the national palace. The 37-year-old general led the military movement that ousted the last of the Trujillos from the island. He has vowed to support the council. Balaguer has promised to quit In favor of Bonnelly as soon as the Organization of American States lifts the economic and diplomatic sanctions imposed against the Trujillo regime for plotting the assassination of President Ro-mulo Betancourt of Venezuela. These may be removed soon.

Two other council members are prominent businessmen, who helped plot the May assassination of Trujillo, who had subjected the Dominican Republic to iron rule for 31 years. They are Antonio Imber and Luis Amlan Tio. Other members are Eduardo R. Barreras, former president of the Supreme Court who will be second vice president; Dr. Nicola3 Pichardo, president of the University Professors Association who also is a member of the National Civic Union, and Msgr.

Eliseo Pere Sanche, Roman Catholic vicar of the nation who often quarreled with the regime. Bonnelly said the nation faced grave economic problems but expressed optimism for the future. The republic will get one big economic lift when the sanctions are removed. These restrictions on trade have Jolted the economy and brought foreign exchange reserves to near the vanishing point.

Giesler was born in Wilton Junction, Iowa, and came to Los Angeles as a youth. His first job was driving a horse-drawn lumber wagon. He ultimately graduated from the University of Southern California Law School and joined the staff of Earl Rogers, a prominent criminal attorney.

But Giesler used his blocked questions as the basis of an appeal, and won. The case set a precedent: That in rape cases, the pattern of the girl's c.nduct was relevant. Thir teen years later Giesler made use of it! in defending the late Errol Flynn against two counts of statutory rape involving girls under 13. He brought up lurid details of the girls' past, and it was Flynn's word against theirs. Dashing Errol went free.

The trial had this Giesler touch: When one girl testified she c.uld see the moon through a porthole of the actor's yacht as he seduced her, the attorney came back with astronomical charts to prove her claim impossible. Perhaps his most sensational case was the Mann Act trial of Chaplin, then movieland's master comic. The prosecutu said Chaplin took 21-year-old Joan Barry across stale lines for immoral purposes. Giesler had Chaplin sit alone at a big table, feet barely touching the flovr, a wistful look on his face. On the stand, he was humble and meek.

He got off. Twice Giesler threw clients on the mercy of the court after first establishing extenuating circumstances. When producer Walter Wangor shot agent Jennings Lang, accusing him of trying to steal his wife, Joan Bennett, Giesler contended it happened in a "blue flash" of passion. Lang recovered and Wanger was sentenced to only 120 days. The charge was reduced from attempted murder to assault with a deadly weapon.

When Robert Mitchum was arrested in a 1949 narcotics raid, Giesler argued he was a victim of police entrapment. He was sentenced to two years, later reduced to 60 days. The maximum was 14 years. Giesler represented hoodlum Mickey Cohen in the 1945 shooting of Max Shaman, and a coroner's jury ruled self defense. He represented Lana Turner's daughter, Cheryl, when she stabbed her mother's lover, Johnny Stcmpanato.

Cheryl became a ward of the court. Besides serving the famous, Giesler represented people in all walks of life, including a high percentage of charity cases. He once said.

Burial will fJlow in Elmwood Cemetery. Two Brothers Bodies Found After Search RATON, N.M. (AP) The bodies of two small brothers were found Monday. A third boy was still missing. Huddled together behind the shelter of a large roek on a snow- swept mesa about 12 miles from tore were Morris Salazar, 9, and Carlos, 7.

They apparently fren to death. Searchers were following the tracks of a third boy, Joe Darris, 13. The boys had been missing from their Raton homes since Thursday. A state policeman aiding in the search said tracks leading away from the rock shewed the boy was stumbling and falling. The bodies were found on Johnson Mesa, a wind-swept summer cattle range where the snow measured up to six feet deep in drifts.

The boys had apparently sought shelter behind the rock from the subfreezing temperatures and the biting wind. They were wearing light jackets and lew shoes. The youngsters were on a hike to a deserted cabin in the mountain wilderness. ORANGEBURG DIVISION Roofing Incorp P.O. Box 55 JE 4 Jerry Dies HOLLYWOOD (AP) Famed filmland attorney Jerry Giesler, the man the stars called for when in trouble, died in his sleep n-day.

He was 75. Giesler had been hospitalized several times since Iuj'J lor a heart ailment. But he died at his Beverly Hills home. A nurse was at his side. His wife, Ruth, was asleep in a nearby room.

The heart ailment was blamed. Despite illness, Giesler still managed to mastermmn impor tant cases. An associate did the courtroom work, but he called signals in the defense cf his last major case: The defense of Car ole Tregoff in the three Pinch murder trials. His specialty was crimes of passion, and the movie colony kept him busy. His clients included Charlie Chaplin, Errol Flynn, Robert Mitchum, Lana Turner and Mickey Chen.

He handled divorces for Zsa Zsa Gabor, Barbara Hutton, Marilyn Monroe, Bette Davis and Shelley McDonald when her story of being kidnaped prompted a policy inquiry. He won an acquittal for dance director Busby Berkeley, accused of manslaughter when his car killed three. He represented Kid McCoy in the stabbing of his mistress. Though Giesler spent his life among the glamorous, no glitter rubbed off on him. He was or dinary looking balding, paunchy.

He spoke quietly and lived quietly. But in court, he was dynamite. His forte was cross-examination, but he said his real secret was in planning. He prepared both sides of every case, as he put it: "To try to do an even better job of preparing the district attorney's case than the D.A. This system has saved me countless times frm the shock of being taken by surprise." Some highlights of his career: The Alexander Pantages case, his first big one.

The theater magnate was accused of raping a 17-year-old girl. She began her testimony wearing pigtails and a schoolgirl costume. Giesler won a ruling that she testify in garb she wore the night of the alleged attackslinky, low-cut red g-wn, makeup, sophisticated hairdo. The audience whistled. Gicsler's attempts to show she had a dubi- to thorough that tufff re made astonishing statements like "Piles hav ceased to be a problem!"
