2 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore. Sot., June 3, 1950 Gunmen Sought By Huge Posse In Georgia Hills CALHOUN, G., June S UP) Weary but wry ponemen searched the rain-swept north Georgia hill country today for a red-haired scar-faced woman and her two heavily armed compan ions. The trio, wanted for gunfire brushes with officers of two states, left scant clues in their desperate hide-and-seek. One of the three is believed to be wounded. Armed with a machine gun, a shotgun, and a pistol, the fugitives were described as "very danger ous" by searchers who believe they are trapped within an 18-square-mile area of this rugged heavily timbered section of northwest Georgia. Warm ashes of a campfire and the print of a woman's heel in a desolate wooded area provided members of the posse with their strongest clues. A steady rain ham pered the search. All roads in the area were being watchd by highway patrolmen from Tennessee and Georgia, aided by local constabulary. Blood hounds sniffed for tell-tale scents. and walkie-talkies kept segments of the posse in close communication with eacn otner, Tennessee patrolmen identified the male fugitives as William J. Parker of Huntsville, Ala., and Fred Scroggins, a native north Georgian reported to have lived in East Brainerd, Tcnn. They said Parker is wanted on five counts of burglary, v Nam Not, Known The woman was not identified. The three began their escapade yesterday with a flourish of gun fire and speeding automobiles. They opened fire with a pistol when Lieut. Daincy Garland of the Tennessee highway patrol stopped them at Ooltewah for a routine check. When Garland sought cover to reload after returning the fire, the trio sped off in his patrol car equipped with a machine gun and 500 rounds of ammunition. Later they changed cars, aban doning the officer's car for one which they "borrowed" from a farmer. They smashed through road blocks set up at Ringgold, Ga., and later at Calhoun. The machine gun, thrust through a smashed back window, covered their flight.

Great Brit ain declined to come in, although the British foreign office issued a communique in London paying tribute to "the bold character and far-reaching importance" of the Schuman proposal. The plan has tne messing ot tne united stales. It is the first time in the his tory of the world," said a French government spokesman of today's agreement, "that countries whose differences have caused so many wars are getting together to cre ate a community of interests which will eliminate the causes of wars." The six agreeing nations said in a joint communique they had "de cided to pursue a common action of peace, European solidarity and economic and social progress" by placing ine coal and steel produc tion ot tneir respective countries in a common pool under a new high authority.

Motor Ropalr ALL WORK GUARANTEED McCarthy Claims Truman Defending interests Of Reds WASHINGTON, June 3 -JJP)-A barrage of sharp criticism fired at President Truman by Republi can Senator McCarthy kept the tu multuous Communists - in - govern ment dispute boiling today. McCarthy went on the Senate floor late yesterday and accused Mr. Truman of defending "the vest ed interests of the Communists." He said the President did that in declining to make available to Senate investigators all the gov ernment files on persons McCarthy has charged with being pro-Communist. The Wisconsin legislator put a 4.000-word speech in the congres sional record and then discussed parts of it. Neither in his speech nor in his supplementary remarks did McCarthy make any direct mention of the blast levied at him 24 hours earlier by Senator Mar garet Chase Smith and six other GOP senators. McCarthy made it plain, how ever, that he intends to continue to press his charges despite the assertion oy Mrs. hmith and the others that certain elements of the Republican party have resorted to "fear, bigolrv. ignorance and smear" tactics in the hope of mak ing political hay. Mrs. smith s senate speech brought a congratulatory telegram from Francis, Biddle, national chairman of Americans for Demo cratic Action. The former attorney general said the seven Republicans had "helped return national dis cussion 'and debate to its proper high level." McCarthy said he has concluded it was a waste of time for him to have supplied names of witnesses and information to the Democratic controlled Senate foreign relations subcommittee investigating h i s charges of communism in the government.

Volcano Still Spewing Stone KEALAKEKUA, Hawaii, June 3 UP) (By radiophone) Heavy black stone from erupting Mauna Loa covers hundreds of acaes of Hawaii's Kona coast to day. Between 60 and AO families have fled their homes. Lava has eaten into parts of villages. It is a scene of both desolation and beauty created by one of the world's most active volcanos. Here and there is a fallen tree knocked over the lava that still spills over the sides of the crater. Mauna Loa Broke loose Thurs day night after a sleep of 18 months. Volcanologist Ruy H. Finch of the Hawaii volcano observatory said it was the most violent erup tion on record for the tons of lava spewed within the first few hours. He predicted it might last two weeks. He reported: "The area outside the crater swept by lava in the first 12 hours was the greatest on record. Its most spectacular feature was the speed with which it covered the southwestern slopes of Mauna Loa." Observers who have watched the eruption from the beginning say it was even more spectacular last night than Thursday night. The lava was flowing at "break neck" speed in spots as high as 40 miles an hour. "It's hard to estimate the speed of the flow but it's ranging between 20 and 40 miles an hour," Finch said. Two fiery streams have reached the sea. A third ncared the coastal highway 10 miles to the south. A fourth stream poured down to ward Kau in the south point area. Kona police ordered evacuation of another South Kona village yes terday afternoon. Fisherman's Death Starts Knotty Case ASTORIA, Ore., June 3 UP) A fisherman who lived in Wash ington, banked his money in Ore gon, and died in the middle of the Columbia river has both Oregon and Washington in a quandry. They can't agree which state should get the estate of Henry Genies. if no heirs turn up. Gen ies, who died in his gillnet boat last summer, left $25,750.91 half of it in cash in an old steamer trunk, half in an Astoria bank. The only known heir, a brother last heard from in German, is miss ing. Advertisements in Hamburg have failed to locate him. If he can't be found, the estate goes to the state. Legal experts, however, can't de cide which state. Washington claims the money because Genies lived there. Oregon claims the .part of the money which was tanked in Astoria. The case unless the missing brother settles it by turning up and claiming the money is ex pected to go to the Washington or Oregon supreme court, ine auor ney-generals of both states diS' cussed the problem together, issued no opinion.

Indians At Fete Protest Tepees KANSAS CITY, June 3 UP) Kansas City celebrated its 100th birthday today but after a whole century it was still having trouble with the Indians. The great grandsons of the braves who harassed early settlers at the mouth of the Kaw were praising the dickens again. The redmcn are kicking up a ruckus about the tepees put up for them beside the skyscrapers in the heart of the downtown area. The 54 Indians were invited to live in the tepees during the cele bration to lend historical color to the event and to perform tribal dances daily. It was bad enough, the Indians urged, that a centennial eve rain had postponed their afternoon foot ball game. But when they repaired to the tents the white man had erected for them what happened? The rain seeped inside until their straw floor was a quagmire. Drumbeats and war chants be gan rolling from the tents. Before long, the Indians sent their war riors out for a pow-wow wth Paul Cain, in charge of the Indian vil lage for the centennial committee. GOP Leaders Hit Demo Rent Plans WASHINGTON, June 3 -UP)-. Senate Republicans accused Dem ocrats of playing politics today by trying to extend federal rent con trols past the November elections. They centered their fire on an extension bill approved by the Sen ate banking committee yesterday, 8 to 5. The measure, similar to one set for a House vote on June 12, would continue existing rent controls for six months until Dec. 31. Cities could get another , six months of controls by asking for them. Democratic leader Lucas of Ill inois told a reporter he thinks there is a good chance that Con gress will pass that bill. Senator Bricker (R-Ohio), a long-time foe of rent controls, disagreed. Senate Republican Leader Wher ry of Nebraska, said the "bill is just a political expedient to get by the November election." It s just a move to get Sena tor Lucas off the hook in his re election campaign in Illinois." Wherry said. Lucas is opposed for re-election to another six-year Senate term by former GOP Rep. Everett Dirk-sen. FLOOR CONTRA iltxG Hardwood s"Sk Sanding ik Laying "MjJ .inishing Old Floors Mode Like New.
