Rioting Rages

British Troops Called Into Action
By JOHN RODERICK
HONG KONG. Thursday. Oct

new rampages in the Kowloon
mainland section of this British
crown colony.
Acting Gov. E. B. David
called out the troops after po
lice failed to end a wave of
violence which began yesterday
and continued intermittently
through the night.
The resumption of violence
came after a six-hour lull.
For 22 hours yesterday and
overnight roving Chinese mobs
staged the greatest - outbreak
here in a generation.
Damage from mob burning
and looting was being reckoned
in millions of dollars.
The first long surges of vio
lence by up to 30kOOO Chinese
ended in comparative calm
about dawn. By noon the Sham
Sui Po area of Kowloon was

Refiners of aluminum rely al
most altogether on bauxite for
their supply of ore. Though alumi
num is a constituent of clays which
are common in the earth crust
bauxite is a mora economical
source. It runs 50 to 80 per cent
alumina against 20 to 40 per cent
for clays. It would take twice as
much clay to produce a ton of
alumina (aluminum oxide i as it
would bauxite. A disadvantage of
the latter, however, is that most
of it comes from foreign sources
such as Jamaica, Surinam and the
Guianas.
The Anaconda company, how
ever, is going to stake a million
dollars that it can make clays a
practical source for alumina from
which aluminum is extracted. It Is
going to erect a pilot slant at An
aconda. Mont, where it will test
clays from Ha tpea pit mint near
Moscow. Idaho, according to a
news story in the Wall Street
Journal. A new process still un
described is to be tested in this
pilot plant.
Anaconda is one of the great
copper producers of the world. A
few years ago, noting the rise of
demand, for aluminum it built a
plant at Columbia Falls using pow
er from Hungry Horse dam for
reduction of aluminum from alum
ina. It buys the latter from Rey
nolds Metal. If it can prove that
clay can be used economically in

Court Upholds
Conviction of
Dallas Wife
Conviction of Mrs. Ethel Story,
Dallas, of the crime of assault with
a dangerous weapon for which she
received a prison sentence of three
years, was upheld by the State
Supreme Court Wednesday.
The opinion was written by
Justice George Rossman. It was
affirmed by Circuit Judge Arlie
Walker, Polk County.
Court records show that during
an altercation with her husband
she shot and wounded him.
The appeal was based largely on
instructions requested by the de
fendant pertaining to self-defense.
The high court also reversed a
decree holding void an annexation
election conducted for the purpose
of annexing certain property to
the city of Oceanlake.
The plaintiffs, all residents of
the territory to be annexed but who
had failed to register prior to 30
days before the election, claimed
they were wrongfully refused the
right to vote and if they had cast
their ballots the proposal would
have been defeated.
The court held the plaintiffs
were simply victims of their own
inexcusable negligence. Justice
Walter L. Tooze wrote this opinion.

one of the brothers, seized his
knife and stabbed him with it.
That opened the way for the
rescuers to go into action.
The 700 national police stormed
the building behind blazing guns.
Police bullets struck one of the
brothers, Arturo Santato, 27, but
he was not seriously wounded. The
younger brother, Osvaldo, 22, was
captured, and the children
ranging from 6 to 10 years-were
liberated amid a roar of cheers
from a dense crowd.
A workman, Sante Zennaro, 23,

persons were woun ' including
a policeman and a mother who
had pleaded hysterically with the
brothers for her child's release.
The heroine was Miss Paolo del
Caratore. She flew suddenly at
mad Osvaldo, pummeling him
with her fists. She ripped his
knife away from him and stabbed
him in the head before Arturo
only recently released from an
asylum for the criminally insane
could turn to grapple with her.
Arturo's attention was distracted
long enough for the police to close
in without harming the children.
The brothers, setting a price of
200 million lire 380,000-for the
release of the children, shouted
fantastic demands from .the win
