Decision of 1804
i
Washington, June 20 (
"Disagreeing supreme court jus
tices resorted to hot words and
fven a wisecrack today in a vain
effort to clear the tribunal's
locket for this term.
Still another decision day was
set for next Monday. The court
then hopes to adjourn until
October 3.

though the tribunal did rule
Unanimously that even under
the GI bill of rights, veterans'

Justice Frankfurter, uphold the

legality of a 1940 law giving

I The justices used some 26,000
ords in expounding their vary
ing views on the act designed to
Overcome an 1804 supreme
ourt decision. This prompted
Justice Jackson, who delivered
(he majority opinion, to quip
from the bench:
i "That Is the judgment of the
Court. But as to its opinions, I
oan only paraphrase Stephen
Lecock: 'The court has mounted
its horse and ridden off in all
directions.' "
The U.S. district court at Bal
timore and the circuit court at
Richmond had held, as did the
tjupreme court in 1804, that the
district is not a "itate" for law
suit purposes.

Boring. Ore., June 20 W
Two small children burned to
death today in a fire that destroy
ed a bunkhouse on the Ezra Mun
son farm near here.
They were Beverly Ann El
liott, 5, and Frank Elliott, 4, part
of a family of seven which had
come here only yesterday to pick
berries.
The fire burst out just after
the mother, Mrs. Hazel Elliott,
stoked the stove and left the
bunkhouse for a minute to speak
to a relative in a nearby trailer.
Her children were still asleep.
Four older children ran to
safety, but the smaller ones were
caught by the rapidly-spreading
flames. Other berry pickers, al-
the daytime and parking still ready in the fields, rushed back

from about at the end of the

week while the county bridge

Governors Warned to Set
Their Own States in Order
Colorado Springs, Colo., June 20 (Pi A freshman democratic
governor Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois said today that all
government costs too much and the states had better set their own
house in order before quarreling about federal aid.
Stevenson, who has gained mention as a democratic presiden
tial possibility in 1952, told a
reporter he doesn't agree with
some of his governors' confer
ence colleagues in demanding

gon Wildlife Federation wants
a brand-new game commission.
The federation, which met
here yesterday, said that the
present commission has done an
"outstanding" job, but suggest
ed that a new commission would
be preferable once the new game
law goes into effect.
The law, which becomes op
erative July 16, converts the
commission into a policy-mak
ing body.
Bruce L. Yeager, Roscburg,
was elected president of the fe
deration on a nomination from
the floor. The nominating com
mittee had submitted three oth-
names: Ole Larson, The
Dalles; Carl Hill, Days Creek;
and John Amacher, Roseburg.
greater control over the spend
ing of U. S. money.
Government is too expensive
at all levels," he said. "We need
economy from the township up
to Washington. But until we
can do a better job in govern
ment at local and state levels
we ought not to he damning fed
eral interference at the same
time we are asking for more
federal funds."
The- 41st annual governors'
conference, beginning its offi
cial sessions today, has before
it a proposal for a 20 per cent
cut in federal aid grants to
states to be made up by in
creased state tax ( collections
from theater admissions, gaso
line sales, electric and telephone
service, if the federal govern
ment would withdraw from
those fields.
Gov. James H. Duff, Penn
sylvania republican, has com
plained about too much Wash
ington interference in adminis
tering relief and other pro
grams. Gov. Earl Warren, California
republican, said he doesn't think
federal aid can be cut until
some definite agreement is
reached to give the states a big
ger bite of tax collections.
"When you get down to cases
and try to decide who is going to
give up what in the way of
taxes, that's when the difficul
ties begin," he told a news con
ference yesterday.
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of
New York, the 1948 GOP presi
dential nominee, will be head
man when the governors get
down to cases on the federal
state government questions to
morrow. Dewey, who hasn't
seen Warren since he and the
Californian lost last year's elec
tion, arrives from the east to
day.

The accused man, Stephen
Brusnahan, 34, a mechanic, had
a dossier of 31 women with
whom he had corresponded,
District Attorney Levett K.
Fraser said.
Last on the list was Mrs. Vir
ginia James Brusnahan, 26, for
mer wife of a Chicago police
man, who died in the blaze last
week. She and policeman
Charles Wiltgen were divorced,
and Brusnahan married her in
Hutchinson, Kas., last March
31.
The hefty mechanic was ar
rested Saturday after he had
attended a double funeral for
his wife and daughter, Agnes.
The district attorney said;
Brusnahan suddenly was con-,
fronted at an inquest with dis
crepancies in his account of
the cabin fire. His wife's bro
ther, Eugene C. James, who
came from Chicago for the fun-j
eral, preferred the charges.
Fraser said "no doubt there
was foul play." I
He said Brusnahan made
large purchases of fuel oil the
week before the fire, and that
unbumed oil was on a rug near
Mrs. Brusnahan's body. The
district attorney quoted neigh-1
bors as saying Brusnahan was!
reluctant to fight the fire with'
a hose. 1
