Kendersi, who visited the scene with Coroner Paul C. Mellinger and a pathologist, C. P. Larson, said the bodies were found a mile off the highway, about 18 miles east of Enumeiaw and 100 feet from the White river. He expressed belief the slayer had driven down the narrow road In the Easley car with his vic tims In the back seat, disposed of the bodies, and, In an apparent effort to make the road appear unused, tossed logs across the trail as he left. A "No Trespassing" sign had been placed at the entrance to the road. Blood 8tains In Home Earlier, Kendersi said he had taken the two occupants of the Easley home Into protective cus tody. He identified them as Mr. and Mrs. LeRoy Love and said they told this story: Love was approached at a gas station Sunday morning by a stranger who offered free use of his home for a few weeks If the Loves would care f6r his rabbits. They moved in the next day after Inspecting the house and finding everything apparently in order. "Shortly after that," Love con tinued, "my wife pulled me by the sleeve into the kitchen. 'That looks like blood,' she said, point ing to some big Ted smears on the floor." ; Love said he recalled some berries and canning equipment In another room and believed the stains to be berry Juice. Kendersi said the Loves' de scription of the ."stranger's" car tallied with that of the missing Easlev automobile, bearing the Washington license' B-13566. Kendersi said witnesses corro borated the Loves' story. The detective said the couple told him they had not noticed the two bullet holes in which Larson, the pathologist, found bits of hu man flesh yesterday. Faint stains, found in every room, were of human blood, Larson said. A pile of blood stained clothing was found In a box In a shed at the rear of the house. Larson estimated the bullet holes had been made late Sat urday night or Sunday. TRAIN AIR PILOTS Richard A. Artman, airman ap prentice, USN, of route 2, Rose burs, and Andrew L.

In the House, the Issue still is In committee. However, the bill Introduced by Rep. Graham A. Barden (D.-N. C.) would bar turning over any of the federal money to parochial schools. Opposlta Views Presented In her June 23 column, Mrs. Roosevelt said "the controversy brought about by the request made by Francis Cardinal Spell man that Catholic schools should share in federal aid funds forces upon the citizens of the country the kind of decision that is going to be very difficult to make. She said "many years ago it was decided that the public schools of our country should be entirely separated from any kind of denominational control, and these are the only schools that are free, tax-supported schools. The greatest number of our chil dren attend these schools." Cardinal Spellman wrote that "I cannot presume upon the press to discuss, analyze or refute each inaccuracy in your columns for they are manifold. . . . "America's Catholic youth," the Cardinal wrote, "helped fight a long and bitter fight to save all Americans from oppression and persecution. Their broken bodies on blood-soaked foreign fields were grim and tragic testimony to this fact. , . . "Would you deny equality to these Catholic boys who dally stood at the sad threshold of un timely death and suffered mar tyrdom that you and i and tne world of men might live in liber ty and peace? . . ."

Reservation Move Fails Efforts by Senators Taft (R Ohio), Wherry (R-Neb) and Wat kins (R-Utah) to tack reserva tions to the treaty were badly de feated. The big majority of the Senate went along with Senators Connallv ID-Texas) and Vanden bere (R Mich). The 82-to-13 rat Ificatlon vote exceeded by 18 the 64 votes required for two-thirds approval. . Two Democrats and 11 Repub licans voted against ratification. The Democrats were Senators Edwin C. Johnson (Colo) and Tavlor (Idaho). The Republicans were Senators Cordon (Ore), Donnell (Mo), Flanders (Vt), Jenncr (Ind), Kem (Mo), Langer (ND), Ma lone (Nev), Taft (Ohio), Watklns Utah, Wherry (Neb) and Young (ND). Most of the argument was whether the United States should state by reservation that In join ing the treaty this nation was under no obligation to furnish arms, including atomic weapons, to other members. This was the gist of the Taft-Wherrv-Watkins demand, which was rejected 74-to-21. Other Proposals Beaten Two other Watkins proposals were treated even roughttr. One. defeated 84 to 11, would have declared the U.S. not obligated to defend the North Atlantic area without approval by Congress. Ai.other, turned down, 87 to 8, would deny that the treaty ob ligated Congress to declare war or use U.S. armed forces to de fend a pact nation. Connally, chairman of the for eign relations committee, said: "The treatv will contribute to the peace of the world. The rights of the United States are amply protected. Secretary of State Acheson saw the one-sided vote for ratifica tion as proof to the wcSI of "the determination of the American people to do their full part in maintaining peace and freedom." Britain, Canada, Belgium and Luxembourg, of the seven orig inal drafting powers, already have ratified the pact.

The figures on military manpow er, not counting reserves, com pare about like this: Atlantic nact countries S7SS. 000. Russia and satellite countries 5,171,000. In naval power, the Atlantic pact countries are far ahead. In air power, the balance might be close in numbers of planes but tne western powers prooadly have farther-flying and harder hitting bombers. (The A-bomb figures In here, too.) These comnarlsons are all bas ed on official and unofficial es timates; some of the estimates In' the cases of the Soviet coun tries are admittedlv little more than a guess. In Industrial strength, the At lantic pact- countries are far ahead, too. They top the Soviet dominated countries four to one In 1950 steel production goals, over three to one in pig iron, two to one in coal. In 1946 the last year for which oil compari sons are possible the West's lead was 10 to one. MOSCOW, July 22. (IP) Soviet newspaper said today the U.S. Senate ratified the Atlantic pact "notwithstanding the broad, pop ular opposition and serious doubts and reservations advanc ed by many senators." The papers declared that Am erican public reaction "clearly" shows that the pact does not have the popular support of many mil lions of Americans vigorously op posed to the pact as an aggres sive alliance threatening peace." The papers gave prominent play to remarks by Sen. Taylor (D-Idaho) attacking the alliance and urging broader trade with Russia. NOW YOU KNOW!

Croft Assumes Any Blame Percy Croft, chairman of the Park commission, said he would personally assume responsibility for the situation and would ac cent any criticism. "The pool manager called me to ask if the commission had a policy on the matter of admis sions," Croft said. "As the mat ter had never been considered, never having been thought of, in fact, I told him we had no Dolicv. Therefore, if anyone is to be cri ticized, the criticism should fall on me personally rather than on tne pool manager or the commis sion as a whole." Croft said the matter of doIIc would be placed before the next meeting of the commission. Kay Brown, pool manager, re ported he had no objection to use of the pool by colored persons, but that he had received no in structions as to policy, and, as he was unable to obtain a clear cut decision, felt he should wait until the matter had been decided by the commission.

Brannan Farm Bill Defeated WASHINGTON. Julv 22 UP) A crushing House defeat of its controversial farm plan set the administration to work today on salvage operations in the Senate. With a powerful combination oi Democrats and Republicans in control, the House late yesterday voted 239 to 170 to kill a proposed "trial run" of the farm subsidy plan of Secretary of Agriculture Brannan on eggs, potatoes and wool. The coalition was led by Rep. Gore (D-Tenn), normally an administration follower. It tri umphed despite a plea from Speaker Rayburn (D-Tex) to give the Brannan plan a try. Instead, the House voted 383 to 25 to continue for another year the rigid wartime farm price sup ports at 90 per cent of parity. Parity is a computed price in tended to give farmers a pur chasing power in fair relation ship to the cost of things they must buy. Today Senator Elmer Thomas (D-Okla), chairman of the Senate agriculture committee, indicated he hoped to turn the tide in the Senate, or. at least gain a com promise.
