Oklahoman Dies For
Murder of Teacher
SALT LAKE CITY, July 13
(UP) James J. 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.

After Tipper was placed on re
serve status in the army, he was

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
