Craig hid lived alone with the dog in two rooms of the neat two-story brick-veneered house since his wife left him six months ago. Toe fracas began about 9:30 Thursday night when Craig got into an argument with a neighbor. Lawrence Mack, 17, who had decorated his house for him. Craig accused Mack of stealing a gun irom nis home. Suddenly, witnesses said, Craie pulled two pistols and fired at Mack. The bullet went wild and struck' two-year-old Drake Atkins in the head. The child was taken to county hospital in serious condition. Mack dived for cover while Craig rushed into his house and barricaded doorways and windows for a fight. When a squad of officers ar rived to investigate the shooting Craig opened fire at them, with a gun in each hand, he scream ed defiance for them to "come . in and get me If you think you're tough." . xne omcers called lor rein forcements and within a few min utes 100 officers converged on the neighborhood in squad cars, patrol wagons and on motorcycles. when the gas failed to rout Craig, Chief of Uniformed Police Raymond Craig ordered his men deliberately to set fire to the house. Craig apparently decided to try to shoot his way out As he stepped through the door way with his guns blazing, police opened up with a terrific blast that virtually tore his body apart. Craig fell instantly dead.

It can't require much nhysical exertion, because the former roof ing contractor's doctor has forbid den that It can't demand special training, since he has' no time to get it And Gillum, a Navy aerial pho tographer during the war, will on ly be able to work four or six months. After that, physicians have told him, he will die of can cer. "I know I'm ffoinff tn Hie sonn " the tall veteran explained. "But the trouble is, I have o eat until I do." Gillum began his Job hunt eight months ago after he underwent an operation at veterans hospital. At that time the doctor told his brunet wife, Lee, hat her husband had cancer. But it was only a few days ago that the couple learned Gillum's case was hopeless. Their savings have been exhausted by months of unemployment Gillum isn't interested in a final fling before he dies. He just wants his last few months to be free from financial worry. By J. M. Roberts .lr. AP FtllB AlUln Anlrl The results of the German elec tion show a trend, at least on the surface, toward the "American Way," but will not be accepted by the Western Allies generally as an unmitigated blessing. The British Labor government, recognizing the necessity of Allied-German cooperation in the economic field, has hoped to see German industry nationalized like her own. But the Conservative Christian Democrats nosed out the German Socialists and, through a coalition with the rightist Free Democrats, are expected to or ganize the government They both stand for free enterprise. France, too, may not be so happy for the same reasons, plus the fact that the Free Democrats particularly, and the Christian Democrats as well, are 104th Division Plans Confab PORTLAND, Ore. U.R Port land members of the National Timberwolf Assn. veterans of the 104th Infantry Division plan to invite the organization to Port land for its 1950 convention. This year they will meet in New York City, Sept. 3, 4, and 5. . ' Nearly 200 Portlanders belong to the association. The division had its early training at Camp Adair, Ore. In combat the 104th set a record of 195 consecutive days in front-line fighting in the European theater. George Sherman, veteran di rector of action-packed dramas, was chosen to handle the direc torial assignment for Universal International's "Sword in the Desert." Astoria Salmon Derby Scheduled Aug. 30 ASTORIA, Ore. (U.R) Astor ians made preparations Saturday for the annual Salmon Derby i scheduled Aug. 30, and the cham ber of commerce guessed 25,000 visitors and sports fishermen would arrive for the event. Last year's $1,000 grand prize went to Clarence W. Bernards, McMinnville, Ore., whose, catch weighed in at 45 pounds, five ounces. So far the largest salmon caught since the derbies began was a 6214 pounder, taken in 1937. believed to have attracted a large number of nationalist vot ers whom France fears. Definitely on the credit side is the slap-down handed the Com munists and the Nazis or near Nazis. Each got less than 6 per cent of the vote. About 10 per cent more people voted than had been predicted by campaign observers, shattering the Nazi-Communist contention tnat many would boycott the polls rather than vote for anything less than a government of all ' Ger Tabulation of the results sug gests that the Communists are re sponsible for the Socialist failure to lead the list The Socialists trailed the Christian Democrats by only 425.000 votes, gaining 131 seats to 138. Tne socialists, nxe Communists, favored a strong central government, and both sought their chief support among the working classes ana tne larjor unions. The Communists got 1, 360,000 votes. Ran Behind ' The free Democrats, containing strong rightist elements, ran more than 4 million behind the Social ists, but are expected to coalesce with the Christian Democrats in the government. The Christian Democrats are largely Catholic and middle class Protestants, favoring more au tonomy for the individual states than do the Socialists, and with an economic philosophy which seems much like that of Amer ican Republicans. These party descriptions, of course, are subject to Qualifi cations. The election campabra has out across party lines in a manner familiar to Americans in recent years. All the parties made bitter attacks on the Western Allies and their occupa tion program. All made strong nationalist appeals. How many rightists responded to these appeals by one party leader or another cannot be de termined. Nor how much of the vote was a protest as well as a desire for half a government if an all-German one could not be obtained. So the picture is not all black nor all white. It does seem to open the way for general cooperation between Western Germany and the Allies, and for her quick in clusion in the Marshall Plan and other Western movements for loperation and recovery.
