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.

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.

Of $20,000 In NYC
NEW YORK. June 3 (JPi
Simon Framberg, 59, saved a $20.
000 payroll from going to a daring
day-light Broadway thief yester
day.
As startled Broadwayites gaped,
the thug accosted Framberg at
Broadway and 58th street. Using
his pistol as a club, he beat Fram
berg to the ground, trying to
wrench away the parcel contain
ing the $20,000.
Frameberg wouldn't let go. The
gunman leaped into a car and
escaped.
Framberg got up, walked to his
trading company office nearby and
laid the $20,000 on the desk. Then
he collapsed.

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.

Arabian Fire Chief
Has Alarming Night
NEW YORK, June 3 UP)

near Sixth avenue. Seven times

aging to a good night's sleep.

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.
