MONDAY. JANUARY 16, 1950 THE BEND BULLETIN. BEND, OREGON PAGE THREE Berserk Janitor ! Attacks Postal Inspectors, Slain Robinson. 111., Jan. 16 IP A post office janitor was beaten to death after he went berserk and attacked two postal inspectors, wounding one critically -and bat tering the other severely. The inspectors told Sheriff C. p. West that the janitor, Harry Taylor, 55, suddenly seized two .45 caliber revolvers from the stamp windows as they checked post office records. Taylor turned first on Inspec tor James A. Thompson, Spring field, 111., according to the inspec tors' account of the shooting. As Thompson fled, Taylor ran after him, firing both puns. Thompson fell, critically wound ed with bullet holes through each lung and a wound in the right hand. Then the janitor turned on the other inspector, J. J. Shear r of Effingham, 111., and started beating him on the head. Both inspectors were unarmed. Sheriff Called Shear told the sheriff he wres tled with Taylor for possession of one of .the guns, succeeded m disarming the janitor, and knocked him to the floor. Taylor fell, fatally injured. Meanwhile, Assistant postmas ter Roscoe Keenan had fled into the basement and out to the street, where he shouted to pass ersby to call the sheriff from the nearby jail . The sheriff seized a gun and ran to the scene, followed by deputies. Keenan was so excited he was incoherent, and the sher iff assumed a robbery was in progress. Inside the 60 by 40 foot main postal room, authorities found Taylor dead and Thompson un conscious. Thompson and his partner were rushed to the Greer hospital, where Dr. Edward Greer said there was little hope that Thomp son would survive.' Thompson regained conscious ness later and told officers that Taylor shot him, but gave no In dication of why the janitor at- tacKea the inspectors. Dr. Jessup, Chiang Hold Conference Taipei,.

Hatch (United Pren Staff Corresiwrnlent) Washington, Jan. 16 (IB The postmen began ringing at the homes of ex-GI's today with the pay-off in the veterans' $2,800, 000,000 life insurance dividend. Some 500,000 checks were in the mailbags. The checks ranged from as low as 60 cents to $528, the maximum amount a veteran will get. The checks are the result of a recalculation which showed that national service life insurance premiums were too high. How much a veteran gets de pends on his age, the length of time his policy was in force, and the amount of the policy. In all, about 14,500,000 checks will be written. After the delivery of this first batch of 500,000 checks, there'll be about 1,000,000 checks delivered every week un til all are distributed. Written Last Week The 500,000 mailed today were written last week and shipped to local post offices to be held un til they went into mailmen's sacks this morning. The pay-off is expected to spur business sales. A lot will be spent for home furnishings, appliances and television sets. - Some of it will go to pay off medical bills and other debts. Some veterans already have "spent" their money by pre Christmas purchases and agree ments to pay up when they get their dividends. Some of the money will go into savings. That's the advice from the treasury which wrote the checks. On the back of each is stamped: 'Invest wisely. Buy U. S. savings bonds." The veterans administration also warned the veterans to be careful of thieves and forgers. 'Be careful," the VA said. "Keep your mailbox locked, or else pick up the checks at once o prevent forgers from stealing them." The VA also warned that the checks couldn't be sent to anyone but the policy holder. VILLAGES ISOLATED Hillsboro, Jan. 16 tli Rural areas of Washington county about the villages of Cochran, Dixie Mountain, Bacone, Timber and Scoggins valley, were com pletely isolated by snow, County roadmaster Ross Hartrampf said today. "There is five feet of snow on the level and telephone poles are down," he said. "We have had to resort to bulldozers and In some places we have no place to push the snow. . - v '- . L.n ? ;'v X Ihhiu Out Today Many veterans, the VA said had requested that their checks be mailed directly to a store which had extended credit pending arriv al of the checks. However, the VA said, this is impossible. For store owners and others who will cash the checks, the VA also cautioned: Check identifica tions carefully. Minister Gets Prison Sentence Rochester. N.Y., Jan. 16 Ul'i The Rev. George P. Hetenyl, 40- year-old Episcopal clergyman was sentenced today to 50 years to life in Attica state prison for slaying his attractive wife. Sentence was pronounced by County judge Daniel J. O'Mara. I he Amherst, IN.Y., clergyman who was stoical throughout his trial here last month, showed no outward emotion. Judge O'Mara said the weight of evidence against R?v. Hetenyi influenced his decision for the long sentence. Defense attorney George J. Skivington said he did not know whether he would ap peal. The heavy-set, balding clery man was convicted of second de gree murder by a Monroe county court jury last Xec. 16. Victim of the slaying was Mrs. Jean Gareis Hetenyi, 24, formerly of Oakland, Calif., whose bullet punctured body was found in the Genesee river near Rochester last April. Rev. Hetenyi was arrested aft er his wife's body was Identified through fingerprints. Evidence against the clergyman piled up, but he remained firm in his stand that he was Innocent. The gun used to Inflict two bullet wounds In Mrs. Hetenyi's chest never was found. DENTISTRY Dr. H. E. Jackson At his residential office NO PARKING PROBLEM 230 Lava Road Phone 134 Hoover Discloses Phones Tapped Washington, Jan. 16 UPi FBI director J. Edgar Hoover assured the nation today that less than 170 telephones are being tapped in the United States and its pos sessions all in connection with "internal security" cases. He revealed the figures to put a stop to "hysterical utterances of those who would have us be lieve that wire-tapping by the FBI is unrestricted and is utilized on a wholesale basis." The reports have been filled with so much "inaccurate infor mation and half-truths," he said, that "I am forced to conclude that they were motivated for the purpose of confusing the public." His special statement, released last night, was the second time in a week that top-ranking jus tice department officials have re plied to criticism over the use of wire-tapping in obtaining- evi dence. Criticism Voiced James L. Fly, one-time chair man of the federal communlca tions commission, has been most outspoken against the practice, protesting that it was a "grave threat" to civil liberties. Attorney general J. Howard McGrath defended it as an. estab lished policy of the department and said it would be continued in kidnapings and cases involving the nation's internal security. Hoover put it more bluntly: "Modern techniques must be used in dealing with treason, es pionage, sabotage and kidnaping of little children. "I daresay that the most vio lent critic of the FBI would urge the use of wire-tapping tech niques if his child were kidnaped and held in custody. "Certainly there is as great a need to utilize this technique to protect our country from those who would enslave us and are engaged in treason, espionage and subversion and who, if suc cessful, would destroy our Insti tutions." SALEM SCHOOLS CLOSED Salem, Jan. 16 (Ui Salem pub lic schools did not open today be cause of steady and heavy snow that fell overnight and was still falling without letup this morn ing.

CARROLL MOTORS Authorized DE SOTO-PLYMOUTH Dealer 162 Greenwood Ave. Phone S87 DIAMOND T TRUCKS MoPAB PARTS Permanent Home for U. N. Symbolizes Hope for Peace Bv Richard Wilkin (United frw. Staff Curroixjtuknt) New York Ui High above Manhattan's East river, the per manent home of the United Na tions now thrusts its 39 stories into the New York sky, a symbol of man's hope for peace. Erection of the outer shell of the towering structure already has made a striking chance in the city's East Side skyline. The Jagged skein of surrounding con struction work gradually will be transformed into a smooth pat terned, futuristic group of grace ful buildings, roadways and land scaping. In time, the waterfront area, once a jungle of slums and slaughterhouses, will become a metropolis of peace. North of the six block tract donated to the UN by John D. Rockefeller Jr., will be erected the new permanent home of the Carnegie Foundation for Peace. South of it, plans are underway for the ultra-modern Bellevue hospital -New York uni versity medical center. Work Progresses The modernistic glass-and-mar- ble secretariat building should be ready for occupancy by the more than 3,000 members of the UN secretariat early in 1951. Plans for moving offices from tempor ary headquarters at Lake Suc cess, 20 miles out on Long Island, may hinge, however, not only on completion of the secretariat sky scraper but also on the pace of work on the conference hall area, which will be the next unit to go up, The starting of the conference hall area has been delayed by several factors, not the least of which was the steel strike which threatened to cripple American Industry for a time last fall. lhis area will comprise three council chambers for the security, economic and social, and trustee ship councils, and three large con ference rooms. Building contracts for it will be let soon. "Workshop for Peace" The assembly hall, to house the annual "town meeting of the world" and any special assembly sessions, is not expected to be ready until the regular fall ses sion of 1952 .The design of the $65,000,000 project was worked out by an in ternational panel of distinguished architects headed by Wallace K. Harrison of the United States, who has described the world or ganization's permanent home as a "workshop for world peace." The original plans Included a design for a building similar to, but smaller than, the secretariat building 'to Tiouse the UN's spe cialized agencies at the northern end of the six-block tract of land which fringes the East river from 42nd to 48th streets. With the agencies holding most of- their meetings abroad, it is now problematical whether that building will be put up. . The uriconventional secretariat skyscraper has a simple, rec tangular shape. Narrow ends face north and south and broad sides face the river and the center of New York. Only 72 Feet Wide The ends, only 72 feet wide, are solid walls of "patchwork" white Vermont marble. The 287 foot transparent sides are a grid of heat-resistant green glass, design ed to lower the temperature of the sun's rays at least five de grees as they pass through it, and thin aluminum window sections. The outer surface of the build ing is all but complete. But work men have a year's job ahead of them in decking out the interior with the latest In equipment, deco ration and comfort-providing de vices. One of the building's unique features will be the 2,700 Individually-operated air-conditioning con face "BrokenOul?
