several days ago and found it
occupied by strangers.'
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.

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.

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

Britain, Canada, Belgium and

injured them severely. The dog
has alwavs been very good na

ANSWER: The insurance which
covers your legal liability for acts
of your dog is called Comprehen

of insurance covers legal liability
for nil members of the family and
for dogs and other pets. The

for the situation and would ac

"The pool manager called me
to ask if the commission had a

never having been thought of, in

Croft said the matter of doIIc

Kay Brown, pool manager, re
ported he had no objection to use
of the pool by colored persons,

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
