Lady Godiva Net
For Book-Ends
COVENTRY, Eng., I.V)
Make lovely Lady Godiva into a
et of nude book-ends? Not even
to earn dollari.
So says sculptor Sir William
Reid Dick and that seema to be
final.
An American novelty firm made
the propoaal to the Coventry city
council. It offered to buy the right
to reproduce in miniature the life
sized Godiva and horse executed
by Sir William for W. H. Bassctt
Green, a retired builder, who gave
it to the city lait year.
The council was divided. Some
said the miniatures would impair
the value of the pretty lady, clad
only in her flowing tresses, as
lure for U. S. tourists in England.
The others viewed it simply as an
easy way for Britain to make a
buck and ease the dollar gap.
Sir William had the last word.
He told newsmen:
T hold the copyright. I don't
agree with the idea of cheap re
plicas and I won't have it."
Name of the U. S. firm was not
disclosed.

ing by Bulgarian aecurity militia.
He finally broke and wrote out a
detailed confession of crimes which
both he and the State department
declared never existed.
The department linked Shipkov's
story with the cases of Cardinal
Mindsienty and Robert A. Vogeler
in Hungary. It described the pres
sure put cn the Bulgarian as an
"apparently hypnotic process," and
said it explama how Mindsienty,
Vogeler and hundreds of other Red
police victims may have been brok
en. Tor some time before his arrest,
Shipkov had been under great ten
sion. One of his close associates,
Ivan Secoulov, another U.S. lega
tion employee, had been arrested
by police shortly before and had
died after three days in jail. Ship
kov himself was resigned to im
prisonment because be wss a non
Communist openly employed by
the American legation.
In his 32-hour ordeal, his story
related, he was first questioned at
length by seven police who display
ed an unchangeable conviction that
he was a traitor and spy.
The story continued:
Shipkov was slapped and roughed
up and forced to aland against a
wall until he fainted.
Finally, after agreeing that he
waa guilty of the crimes alleged,
he was shocked to discover that
more was expected of him.
First, he had to write a lengthy
confession involving many of his
innocent friends and associates:
second, he had to agree to become
a policy spy in the legation in or
der to win release.
Thus, after months of terror, his
arreat when finally it occurred sim
ply ushered in a new period of in
crimination involving not only Ship
kov but also most of those whom
he loved. He was forced, for ex
ample, to make what he later call
ed alanderous admissions concern
ing his wife Yoli and their rela
tionship. In aumming up the significance
of his statement, the State depart
ment said that "for the first time
a victim of this apparently hyp
notic process nas nad tne spiritual
fortitude and courage painfully to
piece together the shattered pieces
of his moral character and to re
veal in detail how a man of integ
rity can be completely broken and
forced to describe in his own words
a fantastic story of imaginary
plans of espionsge end treason."
Alter nis relesse, Shipkov hid in
the legation from August until Jan
uarya refugee in his own land.
He finally was caught when he
fled from this hiding place to seek
a more secure hsven. On February
21, Sofia announced he had been
indicted as the leader of a net of
spies working for the Americans.
The police version of the whole
plot had been woven into Shipkov's
own "confession" laat August.

SAI.EM, March ( OPt Gov.
Douglas McKay formally announ
ced his candidacy for reelection
Saturday.
The Republican governor, elect
ed to fill the unexpired term of
the late Earl Snell, cited "sound
financing' aa the chief problem
ahead for Oregon.
"The budget is bslsnced without
an increase of atate income o r
property taxes," said McKay in
his announcement. "The long de
layed building programs for state
institutions snd. higher educstion
are well underway. A long range
highway program has been adopt
ed and started on a pay-as-you-go
bssis.
"The many interests concerned
with conservation and development
of natural resources have been
brought together for the develop
ment of a joint and comprehensive
program. Proposals for reorganiza
tion for state government to achieve
economy and better public service
are being developed for present
ation to the 1951 legislature.
"The problems for the next four
years will be among the most
difficult in the history of the state.
Principal of these is sound finan
cing. It must now have the focus
of our attention and effort.
"I again invite support and aid
of the earnest and sincere citizens
of the state who wish a business
like and practical approach to the
problems of the next four yesrs."

soft coal diggers in the four-week
strike, although their contract also
hsd expired last June 30.
The bituminous contract runs un
til June 30, 1952. But it may be
canceled by either party on or
after April 1, 1951, upon 30 days'
notice.
It provides for:
A $14.75 daily wage, an increase
of 70 cents. Lewis hsd asked 90
cents.
A Jo-cent levy on each ton of coal
to finance the UMW welfare fund.
The pension payment formerly was
20 cents. Lewis had asked 35 cents.
The additional 10 cents a ton in
welfare benefits sdds up to 70 cents
a day for each miner on the basis
of an average production of aeven
tons a day per man.
A union shop, subject to court
ruling on Its legality.
An end to the "able and willing
to work" clause under which min
ers have stopped work with
impunity.
A limit of five days a year on
the miners "memorial," or mourn
ing, periods.
Most operators here predicted
the aoft coal contract would push up
Ihe cost of producing a ton by 25 to
35 cents. Some said the public may
pay as much as 50 cents a ton
more, if operators are to recoup
their losses of the last eight
months.
"If we Droduce 600.000.000 tons
of cost this year, the contract will
cost the country S3O0.000.0O0." fore
cast Joseph E. Moody, chief nego
tiator for the Southern Coal Pro
ducers association.
UMW men were frankly exultant.
Said one: "We won everything ex
cept what the courts said we
couldn t have.
In the latter category were the
union shop, with arrangement for
requiring all workers to be union
ists is msne suDiect to a case now
pending before the supreme court;
the "able and willing" clause: un
limited "memorial periods;" and
the granting of pensions to UMW
members only.
All four have been held to he
probable violations of the Taft
Hartley act, pending a hearing by
the National Labor Relations board.
Lewis wss blocked by court order
from any strike or slowdown to
bring about a renewal of those four
clauses.
The settlement ended any chance
for passage of the mine seizure bill
sent to Congress on Friday by the
president.
The White House served notice,
however, that Mr. Truman still
wsnts a commission created to
study the fading, strife-ridden in
dustry snd recommend a legisla
tive cure, ivey lawmakers on
Capitol Hilt have deferred action
on the necessary legislation.

people fled, streaming.
"It seemed like he waa using
the knife so fast nobody wanted to
try to stop him," one witness said.
Two policemen in a patrol car
finally caught up with the killer.
Jonea lunged at them with his
bloody knife, but they beat it out
of bis hand and alugged him to
the sidewalk with gun butts. Then
they tied him up with rope and
carried him off in their car.

A few minutes after Jones had
wounded bis first victim, Joseoh
Bondolato, 25, police were on his
trail. He came upon two young
fathers, each with a baby car
riage and each bragging about the
child inside.
One was James Culhane, 28, a
shoe salesman, and the other was
Kenneth Kennedy, 23, a Mohawk
Indian and construction worker.
Shouting "Do you know me?"
Jones plunged the bloody knife into
Kennedy's chest. The knife stuck.
As Kennedy tried to stagger away,
Jonea followed and yanked the
knife out of his chest.
Kennedy's five-month-old daugh
ter was not molested.
The father waa in critical condi
tion in a hospital today.
Jonea, rearmed, returned to the
spot where he had found tie two
fathera. But Culhane already was
on the run, pushing his 15-month-old
son.
Culhane heard a familiar sound
behind him "Do you know me?"
but he made it to his own house
before Jones got within knife
range. Four men were in a social
club on the first floor, and Culhane
called to them: "There's a mad
man out here."
But the madman had lost inter
est in Culhane by this time, and
took a new course on his bloody
route. He ripped Annilio Durso, 61,
who died early today.

as he wayed.
Doubling back on his route, Jones
plunged his knife into John Gor

Jerome Sullican, 51, so badly he
died in a few minutes.

none the less emerged with a posi
tion of strength because of the pre
carious edge of the Laborites over
Winston Churchill's resurgent Con

Use next few months, and for this
reason the king's speech reflected
a desire to avoid controversy in
the immediate future. The legisla
tive program -laid before the Com
mons was a sketchy one, touching
only upon such legislaton as might
stir little conflict.
In fact, the king laid most stress
on such non-controversial mate
rial aa the hope for achievement
of a solution to the problem of
atomic energy control.
Failure to make any reference
whatever to nationalization, a pro
gram close to the heart of the La
bor party, seemed to, reflect the
party's desire to avoid controver
sial issues in the immediate future.
But harmony will not be sought
at the expense of the national well
being, the king said.
The king paid tribute to the "gen
erous help" given Britain by the
United States, Canada and other
British commonwealth nations. He
also praised the "sustained endeav
or" of the British people in in
creasing industrial and agricultural
production.
