(AP Wirephoto) Drunken Man Charged With Killing Pastor During Lecture on Drinking LAS VEGAS, Nev. (UP) An old friend was accused Thursday of fatally shooting Rev. T. Malcom Jones, 49,. minister of the Las Vegas Episcopal Church, while the pastor apparently lectured him about drinking. x- x Police booked Raymond P. Smith River Group its Plan to Adoi a 1 Protect Fish WALLA WALLA tfl A four point plan for protecting and de veloping fisheries resources of the fnlnmhia River basil, was adoDted Wednesday at the 79th meeting of the Columbia Basin Inter-Agency Committee. f The plan calls for: 1. Support in obtaining adequate appropriations to complete the Lower Columbia River fisheries development program. 2. 'Devising a program for the Columbia basin upstream from the Lower Columbia . fisheries work, and a program of research on problems related to fish resources. 3. Broadening the inter-agency's fisheries steering committee to in clude directors, or their represent atives, of fish and J game depart ments in Idaho., Montana, Wash ington and Oregon. 4. ; Exploring ways of putting various new programs into effect. The four point plan was ap proved after an Exhaustive report bv the fisheries steering commit tee, ; headed by Herbert Lundy, associate editor- of the Portland Oregonian. The report said the "need for a comprehensive examination of the fisheries problem in the Columbia River basin is urgent at this time because of conflicts accompanying the development of the area's wa ter resources." The governor - members of the lnter-agency committee from its seven 'Northwest states were un able to attend the meeting be cause most have state legislatures in progress, but all sent repre sentatives in their place. For the same reason, the Gov ernors' Power Committee, made up of chief executives of Wash ington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, was forced to can cel a scheduled meeting here, Wed nesday. , - Earlier at the inter-agency ses gion, the proposed Columbia Basin interstate compact was explained. The compact was signed recently at Portland, by the seven states involved. Washington, Oregon, Ida ho. Montana. Wyoming. Utah and Nevada. It still must be. ratified by their legislatures. The same states are represented on the inter agency committee. on an investigation , of murder charge last night a few hours after the popular pastor was shot down at a drive-in restaurant. Of ficers said Smith was "very drunk" when seized. The minister was : shot in the back as he stepped from his car in which he had been riding with his wife. Elizabeth, a neighbor. John Wallace, and Jones. He was rushed to . Southern Nevada ' Memorial Hospital, but was dead on arrival. Suspect Booked Smith was taken into custody at the scene of the shooting, but was not booked until after police had questioned the sl&in minister's grief-tricken wife. Wallace and others listed as witnesses. Smith, a friend of the pastor for several years, was believed to have once been married by the victim to a woman attorney in Helena, Mont. B. J. Handlon, chief of detectives, said a motive for the killing had not been established yet, but that the reverend apparently had been talking to Jones about the latter's drinking habits during a ride in the car. Handlon said the ' minister, his wife and Smith all were riding in the front seat of the car, with the minister driving and his wife seat ed between him and Smith. Wal lace sat in the backseat. ! When they stopped, at the res taurant for a snack. Handlon said, the suspect allegedly whipped out a German lugar, held it closely to Mrs. Jones and then fired into the minister's back as he stepped from the auto. Wrestled for Gun . The bullet smashed through Rev. Jones body, piercing his abdomen, and lodged in the restaurant's. as phalt driveway. Mrs. Jones leaped from the car and knelt over he fallen husband's body while Wal lace was believed by police to have rested the gun from Smith. Franklin R. Wolf, 20, an airman at nearby Nellis Air Force Base, told detectives he saw Wallace, holding the gun, dash into. the res taurant and call for an ambulance and the police. Officers said that when they reached the shooting the suspect was wandering aimlessly about He made no effort to resist being taken into custody, they said. In additior to his wife, Jones is survived by three children. Tom, 22. Jerry. 19, and Julie, 17. He graduated from the General Theological Seminary in New Yorr. He came here .three years ago from Grand Rapids, Mich., where he was pastor for four years. He also was believed to have resided, in Montana. v PnlisliJTA Man Honored By Monument AVOCA, Wis. s (UP) In fewer words than required to write this itory, the history of one man's fight for freedom is inscribed in a country churchyard here. It tells how Wincenty Daiewa cowski forsook great wealth to become a common laborer but a free man in America. - A seven-foot high monument to Daiewamowski, a Pole, bears this inscription: x Born a nobleman of great wealth, Wincenty Daiewamowski embraced in 1830' the tenets of the Polish revolution. "His cause defeated, his wealth confiscated, he secured exile to America from Nicholas of Rus sia through the intercession of his friend, Ferdinand of Austria. Sailed from Thiest, November, 1882. Arrived in New York, March. 1834. "Began his trek westward May 21, 1833. Engaged as a smelter of ore with Win. S. Hamilton of Ga lena, Nov. 17, 1835.

(UP) Four buildings in this city and the neighboring village of Chazy stand as memorials to a man so modest that only a single photo-1 graph of him ever was found. 1 Tne picture a snapshot was j of William Henry Miner, whose ! AVI tUUV A UatI lUflAlllf 4.1. HV11VU draft gear for railroad freight cars was estimated variously at between $100,000,000 and $250.- 000,000. Miner, who died in 1930, made his home in Chazy, about seven miles south of the Canadian bor der. For the village, he built a $1. 600,000 school that was consid ered a model for the nation in the early 1900's and remains, compar able to almost any today. At his farm. Miner set up two hydro electric systems that, served the school, a teachers' home that he built and the village streets with electricity. - - Also in Chazy is the Miner Mu seum, which he built to house relics of "north country" history. And, in this city stands tie multi-milhon-d o 1 1 a r Physicians Hosnital which was three veara in the building and was consider ed one of the world's finest upon its completion in 1925. In the hospital lobby hangs an oil portrait of Miner painted from the one snapshot of him. Across the lobby hanps a $45,000 Reu bens painting that was given to the hospital by his widow. British Form Wide Range Of Plastics LONDON (INS) A new range of plastic materials, which can be alloyed like metals, has been de veloped by Britain's Peterlite Products Ltd. It is claimed that the new plas tic materials can be given a vari ety of properties, such as trans parency and hardness in combina tion, which have been sought by plastics manufacturers throughout the world-i The new materials will resist heat up to more than 200 degrees centigrade,' twice the boiling point of water, they do not suffer from fatigue, can be made clear as crys tal, are only half the weight of glass and products made from them can be sterilized. This new range of plastics can be used in the manufacture of medical and surgical appliance, tood packaging in sterilized con tainers and their ability to resist acids and solvents make them useful in the dental field. - They are said to provide a sat isfactory material for underwater periscope, television apparatus. Experts believe they will helo to solve the problem of providing materials capable of standing no to the treat temoeratures sen- erated by high-speed, high alti tude aircraft and to the risk of structural collapse resulting from these stresses. GOOD ADVICE MUSKEGON, Mich. (UP) A burglar who stole a distributor cap from a car owned by the Mus kegon Countv . librarian. Kav Wilson. returned it with 7 this note: "I thought it over and de cided I would be mad and feel badly if it happened to me. In the futur keep your garage door locked." Infancy of Tarpon Said Big Mystery MARINELAND, Fla. (UP) Almost every fisherman in Flori da waters is familiar with the big fighting tarpon which attract sportsmen from all over the world, but nobody neems to know much about tarpon before they attain their great size. Curator F. G. Wood, Jr., of Ma rine Studios here recently found a number of small tarpon, only three to three and one-half inches long, in a pond here. He could not remember ever seeing any of the "silver kings" that small and decided to do a bit of research. "Wood said that Dr. C. M. Bre der of the American Museum of Natural History described baby tarpon only two inches Ions found near Sanibel Island on Florida's ; Gulf Coast Dr. Breder also hatch ed fishlets from what he believed were tarpon eggs, but they all shrank and died after about three days. Wood said that one mystery is that almost all the very small tar pon found were collected from land-locked ponds. The ' eight young fish found here were sein ed from- a pond that connects with an inlet only during the very hiehest tides of the year. He said tarpon are able to breath atmospheric air and are not dependent on oxyeen in the water. Thus they would be able to survive in such nonds, but the neriod in the life of a tarpon from three davs after hatching until it attain the length of two inches is stfll a mystery. Wood said only three of the eight tinv tarpon he caught sur vived. The staff is giving them mat care, honing they will some day graduate to the giant tank of the oceanarium. .
