London Cops Want Retention Of
Hanging Penalty To Offset Ban On
Privilege Of Carrying Firearms
By PEWITT MACKENZIE
(AP Foreign Affairs Analyst)
London's policemen (better known as "bobbies"), who ordinarily
are unarmed except for truncheons, have told a royal commission
that the hanging penalty for murder should be retained. They feel
that this is their best protection from desperate criminals.
The commission is studvlng I he.

Firearms Ban Strict
Of course the English police
man's best protection is the dis
position of the public as a whole
to respect the "law" as repre
sented by the Bluecoat. London
cops don't have to go up against
gunmen, as do American police,
and it's rarely that a burglar or
any other denizen of the night
carries a gun, even for protec
tion. The English laws about the u.e
of firearms are pretty fierce. For
example, if you as a householder
catch a burglar in your home,
you may not shoot him unless
you believe he is about to do you
or a member of your family bodi
ly injury. The mere fact tliat the
thief may he climbing out the
window with the family silver
doesn't give you the right to
shoot. If you do use a gun under
those circumstances and kill
somebody, it is murder.
I knew a chap in London who
had served a long prison sentence
as the most notorious burglar
England ever had produced. I
wrole a book with him about ti e
London underworld, and we used
to have terrific arguments over

Her Cruel Father
SANDPOINT. Idaho. Oct. 13.
I.VA 15-year-old farm irl who

hammer was placed on parole

with a hammer while he was
lying on a couch In their isolat
ed farm home. She was charged
with manslaughter.
She told the officers he had
broken his promise to take her

an ax handle until the boy's body
was niarK ana oiue.
A few years before, the prose
cutor said, Charlotte had receiv
ed a broken arm in a beatirg

Fishing Interests
Oppose Columbia
River Program
ASTORIA. Ore., Oct. 13.-M
The projected $20,000,000 Colum
ha river fish rehabilitation pro
gram drew the usual protests
from fishing interests here on
Wednesday.
They protested at a Columbia
basin interagency committee
hearing that the plan was in
adequate to do the job.
Arnle Suomela, Oregon master
fish warden, declared that the
plan would not guarantee the
perpetuation of the salmon run,
and said the $10,00(1.000 fishing
industry Is threatened by con
struction of dams.
Alvln Anderson, Washington
state fisheries director, suggested
a five-point program to bolster
the fish runs:
1. Complete all dam projects
now underway before starting
new ones.
2. Complete the Foster creek
dam and all other dams above
it before building any dams
farther downstream.
3. Finish the Hell's canyon
dam on the upper Snake river.
4. Postpone construction of
the Priest rapids. John Day, and
The Dalles dam on the Columbia
river, and the four lower Snake
river dams.
5. Go forward with the $20.000..
000 fish rehabilitation program as
scheduled.
Roy A. Bessey, representative
of the Department of the In
terior, also spoke for the latter
point. He urged that the rehabili
tation work he started promptly,
so that It will be underway be
fore the dams are built.
Spokesmen of the army en
gineers were to outline the plan
for McNary dam fishwayi later.
