Famed Gorilla
Seriously III
In Chicago Zoo
CHICAGO, June 10 UP) Bush
man, i massive, ugly-faced gorilla
who is regarded as the world's
prized zoo animal and probably
has more fans than a movie star,
is ffravelv ill.
The famed ape, Chicago's big
gest single attraction for some 20
years, was reported suffering from
the combined effects of arthritis,
heart disease and old age.
"He might die in the next five
minutes or he may live a year,"
said Dr. Wesley Young, managing
director of the Anti-Cruelty society
and for many years head veteri
nary at the Lincoln Park zoo.
The veterinarians attending
Bushman diagnosed his illness
from a distance. They said that
even in his weakened condition it
would be impossible to enter Bush
man's cage to examine him.
No one has entered the huge go
rilla's cage since 19M. The ban
was ordered after Bushman, then
weighing ISO pounds, pulled his
185-pound trainer down a flight of
atairs.
Bushman is 22 years old and
said to be the oldest gorilla in
captivity. He weighs 550 pounds
and is 6 feet, two inches tall. The
strength of his hands is immense,
veterinarians said, and even if he
were unconscious his reflexes
might seriously injure a man.
The veterinarians are giving him
digitalis a heart stimulant in his
food. But he is not getting his nor
mal diet of 20 pounds of food and
three quarts of milk. It has been
reduced to some fruit and milk.
Guards maintained a 24-hour vigil
near the big ape's cage.
Judge Solomon
Draws Backing
WASHINGTON, June 10 UP)
Federal Judge Gus Solomon was
pictured to a senate committee
yesterday as a man of complete
Integrity, wholly opposed to Com
munism. That was after one witness said
Solomon was a Communist and a
second said he had associated with
Communists.
The hearing, on confirmation of
Solomon's appointment to the. fed
eral bench in Oregon, closed after
Solomon repeated earlier state
ments denying any Communist con
nection. Chairman McCarran (D-Nev) said
it might be some time before the
sub-committee reported to the full
committee.
Supporting Solomon yesterday
were Ralph Cake, Oregon's Repu
blican national committeeman; Da
vid L. Davies, Portland attorney;
and Senators Morse (R-Ore) and
Kefauver (D-Tenn). These wltnes.
ses said they had known Solomon
for years and were convinced of
his honesty and his opposition to
Communism.
"I personally know of no rea
son," Cake said, "you should not
confirm Judge Solomon."
Davies said Solomon had "too
much common sense" to be front
ing for any Communist organiza
tions. That was in answer to the ori
ginal charge by Daniel C. Ma
honey, Portland federal court law
clerk, that he believed Solomon a
Communist, and a statement by
L. A. Milner, former Oregon state
undercover investigator, that Solo
mon had associated with Commu
nists. HUGE CAKE EATEN

Truman Speech
Stirs Remarks
WASHINGTON, June 10. UP)
President Truman's inaicaiion
that the need for aid to western
Europe won't end with the Mar
shall plan in 1952 stirred bipartisan
criticism in Congress today.
While the President's assertion
in a Columbia, Mo., address that
this country can't close out its
"vital national interest, in a
healthy world economy" found ac
ceptance among many lawmaners,
they didn't agree among them
selves how to maintain it.
Senator Wherry of Nebraska, the
GOP floor leader, blasted at Mr.
Truman's remarks as an indication
that the administration intends to
come up with a new European re
covery program by another name.
"Paul Hoffman has said there
are absoluatelv no plans to con
tinue the Economic Cooperation ad
ministration beyond 1952 and now
the President comes along and
contradicts him," Wherry told a
reporter. ' ,
Tin convinced we are never go
ing to get those European coun-
tries off the American taxpayer's
back as long as this administration
is In power."
Senator George (D-GA). a mem
ber of the senate foreign relations
committee, said in a separate in
terview that he, for one, is going to
insist that ECA close up shop in
1952.
'I think we would be doing west
ern Europe a disservice to encour
age the hope there that this coun
try can continue Marshall plan
id, Oeorge said.
"It will be time enough when we
know the circumstances and the
conditions to determine whether we
will have to give them additional
aid."
George agreed with the Presi
dent, however, that the United
States can't pull out and let the
rest of the anti-Communist world
shift for itself.
Gamblers Know Plates
NEW YORK, June 10 UP)
The Brooklyn gambling probe will
cost more money because the un
derworld knows the license plate
numbers of the investigators'
autos, says Brooklyn District At
torney Miles F. McDonald.
McDonald appealed yesterday to
the city board of estimate for an
additional $00,030 to continue his
investigations for another six
months.
The board originally appropriated
$60,2r0 for the probe.
The prosecutor told the hoard
the estimated operating expenses
have jumped because the under
world somehow obtained a list of
license pinto numbers on the in
vestigators' cars. Now the vehicles
cannot be used and other cars
must be pressed into service.
LITTLE GIRL KILLED
ONTARIO, Ore., June l(l.TV
Diannc Gwen Naillon, 2, died un

and apparently darted under the
wheels just as the truck started

WASHINGTON, June 10 UP)
William W. Remington will quit
his $10,0O0-a year Commerce de
partment job Monday so he can
devote his time to trying to prove
that"! have never been a memDer
of the Communist party."
The 32-year-old wartime naval
intelligence lieutenant is to appear
in federal court in New York
Tuesday to answer an indictment
charging ne lied wnen ne said ne
had never been a Communist. It
is expected to be months before
his trial actually starts.
The department economist noti
fied Secretary of Commerce Saw
yer by letter yesterday he had re-
considered an earlier refusal to
resign at Sawyer's request, and
would quit "at the close of busi
ness Monday."
Sawyer, who had gone to his
home in Cincinnati earlier in the
day, told aides by telephone he
would not comment.
But other commerce officials said
the resignation will end depart
ment proceedings to remove Rem
ington on "maladministration

said were "in no wise intended

Big Anti-Trust
Prosecution Aims
At Alaskan Firms
WASHINGTON. June 10. UP) -
The biggest string of anti-trust
prosecutions ever undertaken at
one time in a sing e area was
aimed today at a sizeable segment
ot ousiness in Alaska.
Prosecutions were started yester
day in Anchorage against 23 cor
porations, 138 individuals and two
liquor dealer associations, and At
torney uenerai Mcuratn said last
night that more actions are to
come.
McGrath announced that the
move was directed against what
the Justice department described
as "collusive arrangements among
business groups which have ob
structed the development and ex
pansion ol the Alaskan economy."
The department, he said, had
been investigating the situation for
nearly a year.
Based on 10 sealed indictments
returned last Mondav bv a federal
grand jury at Anchorage, the ac
tions were directed against several
lines of trade, including shinninu.
fucl supplies, food, the liquor busi
ness, taxicabs and dry cleaning
services. ,
According to the Justice depart
ment, the "most significant" of the
prosecutions was a double-barreled
indictment and civil suit against
Alaska- Steamship company of
Seattle and five of its pfficers, in
cluding the president, Gilbert W.
Skinner.
The attorney general said that
because it is the only line serving
the entire territory, Alaska Steam
ship "virtually controls the econ
omy of Alaska."

Man Who Grew Beard
Not Back On Job
KANSAS CITY, June 10-UP)-A
man who lost his job because he
grew a beard is not entitled to re
instatement. So ruled an arbitration panel
yesterday in a 2-1 decision.
Howard Hatfield, 30, grew a
beard to help celebrate Kansas
City's centennial. His employer, a
delivery firm, said the beard vio
lated a company rule either the
beard or Hatfield must go.
That was last February when the
mayor was appealing to every
male citizen to let his beard sprout.
Hatfield, a driver for the firm
and active in the centennial or
ganization, said he couldn't ask
others to grow a beard unless he
had one. So he refused to shave
Yesterday'! nine-page opinion
pointed out that the company
wouldn't "lose face by restoring
Hatfield to his job" but chided
Hatfield for his "wilful, almost
childish, desire to grow a beard
and be a hero."
But the beard will remain until
July 4. end of the celebration, said
Hatfield after the arbitration rul
ing. He's got a new job and his
new employer admires his beard.

Eugene Worker
Held As Alleged
Attacker Of Girl
ST. PAUL. Minn.. June 10 UP)
A gunman, frustrated in a holdup
attempt, abducted an 18-year-old
St. Paul girl early Friday and five
hours later police arrested a 35-year-old
Eugene, Ore., bricklayer.
He was seized as he slept in his
car alongside a nearby highway.
The victim ot the abduction, wno
told police she was twice raped
by the gunman, identified the man
as her assailant, two youtniui
companions of the man, who had
pleaded with him to leave the girl
alone, also identified him as the
kidnaper-rapist.
Deputy hheriff Pat McDonald
and St. Paul detective John Baum,
said the man identified himself as
Carl Eugene Stout, of (2515 W.
Seventh St.) Eugene, Ore., and
said he formerly lived in
Ashland, Wis. He told police he
was enroute to Duluth, but de
clined to answer further questions
and asked for a lawyer.
The girl was forced to leave the
car of Merle Bergloff, 22, as it
was parked in a lover's lane area
north of St. Paul shortly after
midnight. The gunman drove away
with her after being told that
neither the girl nor her compan
ion had money. Before leaving,
he shot through a fender and tire
of the car and forced Bergloff to
let the air out of the tires.
Hysterical, the girl appeared at
her home about three hours later,
however, she accompanied the of
ficers to the area and immediately
identified Stout.
The two young companions of the
gunman said they knew him only
as "Johnnie" and that he had sug
gested they hold up couples parked
in the lover's lane area. They said
they met him in a tavern last
night, and had several drinks with
him.

Shelton Clan
Holds Burial
FAIRFIELD. III.. June 10-tP-
Another of the vanishing Sheltons
a clan once feared in the southern
Illinois district will be laid to rest
today.
Hoy Shelton, 65, third ol tne
Shelton brothers to die in violence,
will be buried alongside Carl Shel
on, the first of the Shelton broth
ers to be cut down by assassins.
The funeral won t match tne
gaudy standard set by the fast
living and faster dying underworld
in the prohibition era, but it will
be sumptuous at least by Fair
field measures.
Three Sheltons brother Earl and
his nephews, Little Carl and Little
Earl have places in the funeral
cortege. Big Earl and Little Earl
both have twice been targets of
gunmen. They plan to ride un
guarded .to the funeral plot in Ma
ple Hill cemetery at the edge of
town.
Roy Shelton, never connected
with the activities of the Shelton
gang, died Wednesday at the hands
of a hidden gunman.
Life ended suddenly for Big Carl
Shelton in 1947 in an ambush. And
in July, 1948, Bernie Shelton died
in the same manner.
Their slayers never have been
apprehended.
The two Shelton brothers still
living are Earl and Dalta Dalta
is a farmer who never has been
publicly linked with the Shelton
gang's prohibition era rule of
southern Illinois.
Any idea that these repeated at
tacks on the Sheltons would drive
them from Wayne county was dis
missed by Mrs. Agnes hhelton,
88. mother of the five brothers.
"My boys wouldn't move away
and leave their mother." she said.
"Anyway they have no place to
go."
Korean Unification
Object Of Mission
SEOUL. Korea, June 10 UP)
John Gaillard of the United Na

the border today in the hope of
meeting Communist North Koreans
for a unification talk.
The trip grew out of an ex
change of broadcasts.
The North Korean radio invited
a spokesman for the South Ko
rean government to talk about a
combined national election in Au
gust for the two halves of the
country.
South Korea's government ig
nored this offer; its leaders in
cluding President Syngman Rhee
were called war criminals and ex
cluded. The U.N. was also ex
cluded, but the agency broadcast
an offer to talk about unification.

Last Scottsboro
Negro Departs
MONTGOMERY, Ala. UP) The
last of the "Scottsboro boys" to
leave prison took his wife and
child and headed away from the
South Saturday.
Mild-mannered Andy Wright was
one of nine negroes accused of
raping two white women on a
freieht train in 1931. Their trial
at Scottsboro was a sensation of
the 30's.
The tall, 38-year-old Negro left
prison yesterday, with $13.45 "go
free" money in His pocket, and
forgiveness in his heart. He said
he was going to Albany, N. Y., to
take a job as a hospital porter.
"I've got no hard feelings to
ward anyone," he told newspaper
men who gave him a ride to the
railroad station.
"I'm not mad because the white
girl lied about me. If she's still
living, I feel sorry for her because
I don't guess she sleeps much at
night." ,
Insisted Innocent
The Negro steadfastly Insisted
on his innocence during a six-year
court battle. He was sentenced to
99 years in 'prison.
Wright said Dr. Allan Knight
Chalmers of the Boston University
school of theology had sent him
additional money to help pay his
travel expenses to New York.
He said he would like to go to
his home at Chattanooga, Teim.,
to see his seriously ill mother, but
probably would meet his wife and
child in Atlanta and go to New
York.
Wright and eight other Negroes
were arrested at Paint Rock, Ala.,
March 25, 1931. They were charged
with the rape of Mrs. Victoria
Price and Ruby Bates.
Testimony Repudiated
The Bates girl repudiated her
testimony that she had been raped.
The rape story was a "frame up,"
she said. Eight of the nine were
convicted and sentenced to death
at the first trial, but the verdict
was reversed.
Mrs. Price was the only com
plaining witness in later trials,
which eventually resulted in the
conviction of four of the Negroes.
A fifth, Ozie Powell, was sentenced
to 20 years for attacking a deputy
sheriff.
Wright was given a parole in
1944 after serving seven years. It
was revoked three years later
when he was convicted of reckless
driving and driving without a li
cense.
Besides Wright, three Scottsboro
defendants are on parole now.
Clarence Norris, whose death sen
tence was commuted to life im
prisonment, is among them. He
has been declared delinquent, but
