Steer On Rampage
Killed By Cops '
SEATTLE, July l-) Two
police patrolmen emptied their
revolvers into a rampaging 900
pound steer on a south end street
yesterday and robbed a former
Texan of his moment of glory.
The white-faced Hereford broke
loose at the union ' stockyards
while being unloaded from a
truck with other cattle.
Its owner, Fred Hansen of El
lensburg, tried a flying tackle
and got knocked down. The steer
was on its way.
It continued for more than two
miles with police, stockyard
workers and passersby joining in.
Traffic was snarled; pedestrians
were scared.
Finally the patrolmen pulled
alongside the animal in: their
squad car and ended . the chase.
A second car squealed to a stop
and R. C. Bass, who came here
two years ago from Houston,
Tex., pulled out a sharp knife to
slit the steer's throat.
"You've got to stick 'em right
away to bleed 'em," he explain
ed. "Otherwise the blood spoils
the meat."
"But wish they hadn't shot
him," Bass added plaintively. "I
had a lariat in the car and was
just getting ready to lasso him."

Ex-Japantst Official Testifies Against Tokyo Rose
SAN FRANCISCO. July 19.-
UP) A young Japanese, wartime
supervisor of Radio Tokyo, testi
fied Monday that Mrs. "iva To
guri D'Aquino, as 'Tokyo Rose,"
committed what the government
charges were eight open acts of
treason against the United States.
The prosecution of the 33-year-old
woman, born in Los Angeles,
moved swiftly through testimony.
The main witness was Kenkichi
Oko, 36, born in Sacramento. He
went to Japan in 1939, he said, be
cause of his family's business, and
in 1940 became a citizen of
Japan.
The government contends Mrs.
D'Aquino, as an American citizen,
broadcast enemy propaganda to
U. S. troops willingly and volun
tarily. The defense argues she did
it under threat of force by the
Japanese police and army.
Oki testified he was production
supervisor for the "Zero Hour,"
that George Mitsushlo was his su
perior; that the purpose of the
broadcast was to cause war weari.
ness in allied forces and to lower
thefr morale.
He said he, Mrs. Togurl, Mit
sushlo and several others were
present when Mitsushio outlined
the purpose of the program.
LOSES FINAL ROUND
SMITH FALLS, Ont.. UP
Two out of three is not a good
batting average as far as skunks
are concerned.
William Fowlle, riding in a car
which came on three skunks,
leaped to the attack. He got
one by stomping on it and an
other by nailing it behind the
ear with a bottle.
The third fought back as only
a skunk can. Fowlie came home
sitting out on the front fender
of the car.
