Typhoon Kills
600 in Japan
Tokyo. June 21 VP) A ty
phoon left an estimated 600 Jap
anese dead or missing in south
ern Japan yesterday. After
raking the southwest tip of pop
ulous Honshu it swept out to sea
today.
The storm struck first in
Okinawa, the big U.S. air base.
No American casualties were re
ported there. Gusts up to 115
miles an hour were recorded
on Okinawa.
From there the typhoon blew
on north to the southern Japan
ese Island of Kyushu, where by
police account most of the cas
ualties occurred. Police put the
dead at 40 and the number of
missing at S63.
The typhoon then hit Japan's
Inland sea, causing heavy dam
age to coastal shipping, drove
across the tip of Honshu and
moved out into the Sea of Japan,
between Japan and Korea.
Unless it departs from the
usual courses of typhoons, the
storm will hit the Asiatic main
land. An additional SS fishing craft
were destroyed on Shikoku and
"scores" of others on Hiroshima
and Yamaguchl prefectures, JIJi
Press said.
Hong Kong port authorities
picked up an SOS signal from
the 8391-ton American freighter
Lightning, now adrift off Okin
awa. Pacific Far East Lines,
owners of the vessel, said the
ship left Hong Kong June 16
with a cargo of Siamese jungle
beasts, including eight ele
phants, 700 monkeys, 12 bears,
and a dozen snakes over 20 feet
in length.
The Japanese Marine Trans-
port association said two other
freighters were grounded by the
storm off Kyushu.
Police reported 40 persons
were killed and 363 others were
missing in Kyushu, Shikoku and
Chugoku.
Government officials estimat
ed damage from the typhoon
nicknamed "Delia" by the U.S
typhoon warning network at
$12,300,000.

Doomed Child
At Burial Rites
Laurel, Miss., June 21 VP)
Eight-year-old Billy Anderson,
stricken by lukemia, watched
quietly the burial service of his
sister Betty Joyce, also victim
of the blood destroying disease.
Then he said to his mother:
"I don't want to go to New Or
leans for treatment again. It
didn't do Betty Joyce any good
and it won't me, either."
The parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Glaze Anderson, took the chil
dren to specialists in New Or
leans three weeks ago.
The specialists said neither
child could live long. Billy's
case of lukemia was more ad
vanced than Betty Joyce's.
, The five-year-old girl died
Saturday and was burled yester
day. Billy, older and stronger,
still withstands the ravages of
the disease, but without hope.
The Andersons have a third
child Rose Marie, nine months
old.
Killer of Coed
Gets 80 Years
Boulder, Colo., June 21 VP)
Joe Sam Walker, 33, was sen
tenced yesterday to serve 80
years to life in prison for the
"violent, vicious, atrocious"
murder of Theresa Foster, Colo
rado university coed.
District Judge George H.
Bradfield passed the second de
gree murder sentence with the
observation that "I find no ex
tenuating circumstances in the
case." He added that "the pun
ishment should fit the crime'
which he described as "a vio
lent, vicious, atrocious murder."
Walker was visibly shaken by
the stiff penalty. If he earned
time off for good behavior
Walker could serve the sentence
in 40 years.
District Attorney Marc E. H.
Smith had recommended before
the sentence was ordered that
Walker "should be 72 years old
before he is released."
"We're going to the supreme
court, Defense Attorney James
Burke announced after Walker
was taken back to his Boulder
county jail cell. The attorneys
were granted a 30 day stay of
execution and 60 days in which
to file a bill of exceptions chal
lenging legal points in the trial
A Jury of 11 men and a wom
an convicted Walker May 9 of
killing the 18-year-old freshman
from Greeley, Colo. Her raped
half-nude body was found last
Nov. 11 under a bridge south of
Boulder, two days after she dis-
appeared only a walk from the

Big 4 Finish
Paris Debate
Paris. June 21 W The Big
Four foreign ministers ended
four weeks debate last night
with a pledge for east-west
peace and general agreement
on an . Austrian independence
treaty.
As the conference closed, the
following results were announc
ed: A six-point statement of prin
ciples to guide negotiations in
Germany. This featured a Rus
sian promise not to reimpose a
blockade of Berlin, in return for
efforts to revive east-west trade
in the former reich.
A Joint communique announc
ing a series of agreements on the
outstanding issues in the Aus
trian treaty and instructing the
deputies to wrap up the docu
ment by September 1.
Agreement among the four
ministers to maintain contact
nd hold another meeting in
New York next fall during the
United Nations general assem
bly. An American deputy, Samuel
Reber, told newsmen he was
confident the four powers would
agree of an Austrian text In time
for the fall session, when it pre
sumably would be adopted and
the allies would pull their forces
out of Austria.
The conference had a hectic
ending when Russia sought un
successfully to make a last-min
ute change in the Big Four's
communique.
It seemed Vlshinsky had been
reprimanded by Moscow for one
point on the Austrian treaty re
garding oil profits.
School Book
Probe Dropoed
Washington, June 21 VP) A
projected congressional probe of
school books appeared today to
have backfired into a house Un
American activities committee
wastebasket.
Republican committee mem
bers denounced it yesterday and
democrats followed through to
day with a prediction that the
committee will drop it like a hot
potato.
It appeared likely that any in
vestigation made now will be by
special commission of noted
educators, possibly headed by
General Dwight D. Eisenhower,
president of Columbia univer
sity.
Committee Chairman Wood
(D., Ga.) said he was at a loss
to "know what all the shooting
about" and insisted that the
committee is not investigating
textbooks.
"Purely preliminary steps.'
he told newsmen, have been talc-
by committee investigators
as a result of complaints by the
Sons of the American Revolution.
These complaints, he said, made
some very grave charges" in
volving communism in schools.
I think," Wood said, "that
the educators themselves would
be interested in refuting the
charges if they are not true."
The three active republican
members of the committee
agreed that the educators them
selves should make the study.
irecrackers Cost
Silverfon Man $25
A Silverton resident, Jack An
derson Lowrey, posted $25 ball
on a charge of illegal shooting of
firecrackers in Salem, a police
report stated Tuesday.
Lowrey was nabbed by an of
ficer after he was seen to toss
firecracker from a car at the
Intersection of Silverton and
Portland roads.
His arrest was the first on that
charge for this year. Shooting
of fireworks is limited to July 3,
4, S and prohibited in the down

The boy was playing on the
beach with his father when he
suddenly was attacked by the

on the west coast of Vancouver
Island.
Pilot Hugh Hughes said the
heartbroken father, Dominic
Senior, led the hunters to the
scene where the cougar had at
tacked his son. A pair of over-
alls, ripped off by the cat, had
been left on the beach.
Hughes said the dogs picked
up the scent and had the cougar
treed within five minutes. It
was about 100 feet up in a big
hemlock," Hughes said. "The
foliage was so thick that Skate
Hames had to climb SO feet up a
nearby tree. He bagged the
cougar with one shot."

Gandhi Slayers
To Face Death
Simla, India, June 21 VP) An
East Punjab high court today
confirmed a death sentence
against two Hindu journalists
tor the slaying of Mohandas K.
Gandhi.
The court confirmed a New
Delhi court's death penalty
against Narayan V. Godse and
Narayan B. Apte and sentences
of life imprisonment for Vish
nu Karkare and Madan Lai, in
connection with the crime.
The Punjab court reversed
the Delhi tribunal's Judgment in
the case of three other defend
ants in the case, however, they
acquitted Dattraya Parchure and
Kistayya Shankar, both of whom
had been sentenced to life.
The court recommended clem
ency for Gopal Godse, brother
of the chief defendant, who had
received life.
Gandhi, frail Hindu spiritual
leader, was shot Jan. 30, 1948,
as he walked to prayer in the
gardens of the Blrla mansion in
New Delhi.

They overrode their own of

from James T. Marr, secretary-
treasurer of the federation, to
wait until after a speech Thurs
day by Joseph Keenan, Wash

director. Marr said he under

are willing to accept some
amendments on the act.
The delegates heard President
J. D. McDonald urge them yes

ties and exchanging delegates
with other organizations so that
the general public can hear the
labor viewpoint.
"We have a selling Job to do,
and every member is a potential

He also advocated an immedi

1950 election, asserting that la
bor's efforts so far have "only
scratched the surface."
Delegates also heard Ed Wes

assert that labor elected two of
three justices to the Washington
supreme court at the last elec
tion. This has resulted in more
