Donohoe, the wounded war veteran who became a police man because he needed an outside job (or his health. Patrolman Donohoe was shot twice as he attempted to seize a suspect in a 26-cent holdup ot a window cleaning establishment firm Wednesday morning. Dono hoe, the father of a two-year-old daughter, died in Jefferson hospital several hours later. Inspector Richard A. Doyle said the entire police department is on the lookout for Albert Nicholas Gnats, 5S-year-old convict recently paroled. And, said Doyle, we have appealed to all the city's citizens to act as unofficial detectives. With men, women and children keeping a watchful eye for the for mer convict, his capture will surely be hsstened, Doyle said. Scores of times yesterday, squads of police hurried out to check reports Gnats had been sighted. The tips were erroneous but the police didn't mind that. They asked the public to keep them flowing in, "Eventually one of these calls will turn out to be right," said Doyle, who is in charge of the grim manhunt, "I have never seen such a desire on the public's part to cooperate. We have had more than 100 tele phone calls. In at least 20 in stances there was just enough de lay in getting the information to us to allow the man to get away if he was the right one."

Foreign Aid Bill Troubles Ahead WASHINGTON, May 8 OP) The Administrstlon's big foreign a i d authorization was safely through the Senate today, shorn of a quarter of a billion dollars but otherwise fairly intact. There were prospects, however, that the 83,122,450.000 figure ap- firoved by a whopping 60 to 8 vote ast night will be subjected to a determined economy drive when voting starts on a later bill pro viding the cash. President Truman's $45,000,000 "point four" program of aid to the undeveloped areas of the world squeaked by on a margin of one vote 37 to 36. And only a 40 to 40 tie which in the Senate is a losing vote prevented a SSO0.0OO, 0U0 cut in the European recovery program, instead of the $250,000, 000 slash eventually approved. The administration's $3,100,000. 000 request for a third year of the Marshall plan was the only one of several programs in the bill to suffer a cut. These tight votes plus a bitter economy speech by Senator Mc Kellar (D-Tenn.), chairman of the powerful appropriations commit tee heralded trouble when Con gress gets around to supplying the money for the aid programs. The measure that emerged from the Senate in an extra-hours ses sion merely authorizes the pro grams and fixes a top limit to be spent on them during the 1951 fis cal year that begins July 1. The actual money must be provided separately in an appropriations bill. States Righters Drive JACKSON, Miss., May 8 .Pi Encouraged by election results in Florida and Alabama, States Right ers plan to push a campaign for a stronger voice in the 1952 presi dential campaign.

Wright, vice-chairman of the National States Rights com mittee, told a news conference the drve will be concentrated in the South where they will work as Democrats not as members of a third party.

Wright was a member of the Mississippi state delegation that I walked out of the 1948 Democratic i national convention and later set up the States Rights movement. Gov. J. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, who became the states rights presidential candidate, gain ed the 36 electoral votes of South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. Drug To Cure Colds Reported In Britain LONDON, May 8 jp A group of British chemists say they have discovered a drug which may cure the common cold overnight. And six researchers who tried the com pound said it stopped. their sniffles. Despite personal tests by its de velopers, the drug called CF9 still must be proved clinically before the public gets it. Announcement of the discovery was made in the House of Com mons yesterday by Conservative member F. J. Erroll, who said the drug"may prove more important than penicillin." The compound was developed during a three-year search for a new cancer treatment. CF0 may possibly be used, said the scien tists, in treating such virus dis eases as influenza, measles, scarlet fever, smallpox and infantile pa ralysis.

The Communists reiterated old charges that the United States was withholding captured records of Germany army war dead in order to give the impression thousands of Germans still were alive in Russia. These charges have been denied by the western powers as "Commu nist calumnies." Rice Valley By MRS. CECIL HARTFORD Mrs. Cody Long hss gone to Portland, to visit her daughter, Mrs. Robert Blue.

UTILITYWSERVICE Califokni A - Red Artillery Pounds Vital Chinese Post TAIPEI, Formosa. May 6 - -t.P) Chinese Communist artillery pounded the Nationalists' naval and air base of Chushan, key de fense outpost for Formosa, all d.iy yesterday, dispatches reported today. It was 10 p. m. before joint action by Nationalist land, air and naval forces silenced the Red guns, official reports said. The bombard ment came from Kingtand island and was directed at Tinghai, Chu shan cspital, three miles away. Chushan is the main island of an archipelago of the same name that juts into the east China sea about 100 miles southeast of Shanghai The Communists hold several is lands in the group but the Nation alists have clung to Chushan, main base for their blocakade of the big Red port. The Nationalists say Chushan Is next on the Red invasion time table. The dispatches reported Communist invasion craft were continuing to mass in Kingtang harbor and at Chinhai, mainland port 15 miles west of Tinghai. The Nationalists said Red artil lerymen took advantage of the weather yesterday, opening up when Nationalist planes were grounded. Westher is an important factor at this stage of the civil war. If the Nationalists can keep the Reds from Formosa until the end of June they expect the weather to take care of this bastion's de fense until next year. Last month heavy fog kept Nationalist planes on Hainan for three straight days and gave the Reds an opportu nity to mass junks for their suc cessful invasion of the big island off south China.
