Sheriff Denver Young said a note found in the purse of Mrs. Richard Eoff indicated the couple had made a suicide pact, but that per poor marksmanship failed to wound her husband. Five of the .bullets splattered harmlessly against a steel plate across a portion of the basement jail cell window. The sheriff said the husband, waiting a supreme court decision on an appeal from a conviction, apparently had stood on a stool to raise his head to the opening. The woman fired the bullets while driving an automobile in front of the window. She then put a bullet in her head. Two wild shots aimed at the jail Struck a parked car.

This indicates that Prime Min ister Attlee and his cabinet are fearful of over-extending their communications if they continue an all-out offensive. It also means, I believe, that the high command notes a decided increase in pub lic resistance to further socialist experiments until those already undertaken have demonstrated their value. It's three years now since the Labor Party (Socialists) under leadership of Attlee came to pow er in the sensational general elec tion which resulted in the down fall of England's famous war time leader, Winston Churchill. The Socialists didn't conceal their aims from the voters but on the contrary laid down a platform which called for nationalization of some 20 per cent of British in- Phone 121 a 1.

This was a tremendous venture for capitalistic England. but she took the chance and put socialism in wie sauuie lor wiiai under normal circumstances would be a five-year period. One Industry Resists In three years the Attlee eov' crnment has nationalized coal, inland transport, civil aviation, the Bank of England, foreign communications, electricity, and now is in process oi nationaliz ing eas. In short the Dropram has been carried out with one im portant exception nationaliza tion of iron and steel, which is one ot the country s biggest in dustries. The government has been en countering fierce resistance from the iron and steel industry, and has chosen to mark time, prob ably on the basis that discretion is the better part of valor. War Minister Emanuel Shinwell Indi cated in an interview the other day that the Socialist party is split over proposed government ownership of the industry, and aeciareu: "Steel is all up In the air," Whatever may happen to iron and steel, the Socialist leadership maae it plain at the annual labor conference this week that, to quote Deputy Prime Minister Herbert Morrison, "the time comes, as we know in war, when a headlong advance must be fol lowed by detailed consolidation .... tnat is the stage which we are now reaching. ... If we go on always stretching out our hands for more and not making good the gains we have claimed, only disaster can follow." So British Socialism is now getting set for the big test which will decide whether England ac cepts or rejects it. Hammocks were discovered in America by Columbus.

Ban Sfrike (By the Associated Press) Genera) Motors Corp. today of fered the CIO United Auto Work erg a wage increase in excess.., of six cents an hour, according.., to relable sources in Detroit " The first break in the General," Motors deadlock came a few., hours after Gov. Kim Sigler stepped into the 13-day-old Chrys-.j ler strike of 75,000 production " workers and brought both sides" back to the bargaining table. The UAW-CIO confirmed that " a General Motors wage offer had been made. They did not say how " much it was or whether it was -, acceptable. The corporation kept silent. The UAW-CIO had threat ened to strike GM Friday. However, it was learned from, well informed sources that the-" General Motors offer was better" ' than Chrysler's six cents an hour " bid of several weeks ago. Speculation in the industry has" been that GM might be willing to settle at from eight to 12 -cents, probably about 10. ' The average wage in the In-'" dustry now is about $1.50 an hour. The UAW-CIO had asked ' 25 cents an hour more from GM " and 30 cents from Chrysler.
