Roedl, 27-year-old Oklahoma City epileptic, paid for the clawhammer murder of Agrt.es Abigail Williams, San Leandro, Calif., school teacher today, when a five man firing squad blasted him into eternity. The rifles, four of them loaded and the other containing a blank cartride, cracked at 5:56 a.m. He went to his death with little show of emotion. Prison warden John E. Harris said the condemned man faced the firing squad with more courage than any other per son he had seen. A few minutes before he walk ed down the two flights of stairs from the prison chapel where he spent his last night, Roedl ser ved representatives of the press law enforcement officers and guards huge slices of banana cream pie and coffee. Except tor a high - pitched strained laugh, the slightly-built, soft spoken prisoner was com pletely composed. Roedl was convicted Sept. 19, 1943 of the hammer slaying o( the California school teacher to gether with Edward Leroy Rit chie, who was sentenced to life imprisonment, for his part in the crime. Roedl had contended sev eral times the "wheels of justice turn wrong when the well man is given life and the sick man is shot."

Government Does Not Expect to Ration Soap By RUTH GMEINER WASHINGTON, July 13 (UP) Housewives may be having difficulty buying soap, but the government has no Immediate plans for rationing, the agricul ture department said today. the reason, according to Wil liam A. McConologue, a soap of ficial, is that no one yet has de vised a successful ration scheme. Surveys conducted by the de partment and the office of price administration show the indus try is distributing supplies as farily as possible through a vol untary program. The govern ment doesn't think it can do any better. The use of soap, unlike most other commodities, can vary widely in cities of the same size, McConologue said, and this is an mpoirtant factor goivcrning dis trbution of supplies. Cities with hard water use more than soft water localities. In some communities, laundries get most of the dirty clothes. In dustrial cities such as Pittsburgh use far more soap than communi ties of office workers. Soap manufacturers and deal ers know these consumption hab its and limit supplies according ly, McConologue said.

Ask for ELK HORNilBEER mm THE BEER OF Japanese Officer Favors Hirohito's Death in Bombing ; NORTHERN LUZON, July 13 , (UP) A Japanese officer said today that it would be well for the future of Japan if Emperor Hirohito were killed by an American bomb. This same officer, recently captured in the Philippines, stated further the Japanese peo ple should be blamed both for' the war and for their blind ac-' ce'ptance of the dogma the em peror is descended from the sun,' Other Japanese prisoners be lieve any removal of Hirohito' would result in utter chaos." Some believe he should be re tained as a figurehead. Language officers of the 14th; corps can count on one hand the number of Jap prisoners who ar rogantly think Japan is winning. More Japanese prisoners have been taken on Luzon than in any other campaign except Okinawa. Many Japanese officers are now, surrendering because they are beginning to feel that they should dedicate their future to the reconstruction of a new Japan. ; One Japanese-speaking officer, with the 14th corps believes the' Japanese will be extremely hos tile when American forces first land on the home islands, but. many civilians will change their attitude when they discover the Americans will treat them de-i cently. . , .
