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.

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

opened up with a terrific blast
that virtually tore his body apart.
Craig fell instantly dead.

Looks for Job
DETROIT W) Ernest Gillum,
34, is hunting for a special kind of
job.
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.

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.
