Jake Bird Takes the Rap
Jake Bird, the itinerant Negro, who by his own confession
was one of the most prolific murderers in American his
tory, who conducted very skillfully his own defense and
' the innumerable appeals that stayed his execution and
who "hexed" nearly all officials connected with his prose
cution (six of them later died from various causes), was
hanged on the gallows at the Walla Walla state prison
just after midnight.
Just before his execution, Bird "forgave" the world in
a statement in his own handwriting: "There is no hatred
in my heart. I hope you all who witness my death have
no malice in your heart towards me because I have none
towards you."
Bird died for the murder of Mrs. Bertha Kludt during
a robbery, in which he killed also her daughter with the
game axe. In his efforts to avoid execution he won the
first of three reprieves by confessing to a part in 44 rob
bery murders scattered across the country, naming names,
places and dates. The reprieve was granted to investi
gate his confessions and authorities substantiated 11 of
the murders.
Thursday the United States supreme court for the
third time rejected Bird's appeal for a review of his
case. The state board of prison terms and paroles ended
his last hopes when it refused any further clemency rec
ommendations to the governor.
No one can say that there is any racial discrimination in
the administration of justice, at least in the northwest.
The courts, from the lower state courts to the United States
supreme court, have leaned backward to give this shrewd
but brutal, unscrupulous multi-murderer every opportu
nity to establish his innocence. In Paul Robeson's paradise
of Russia, what would have been his fate ?
Does Pacific Northwest Want a CVA?
Secretary of the Interior Krug has now stated clearly
what opponents of a Columbia Valley Administration have
feared most: If a CVA is established, it will be run the
way Washington, D.C., wants it run.
The people of the Columbia river valley woull have to
accept what the trio of hand-picked directors said should
be done for the Pacific Northwest. A bureaucratic regime
would gradually hog-tie, instead of develop, the region.
Krug came out flatly Thursday in testimony in Wash
ington against a "home-rule plan" for the proposed CVA.
"It is of paramount importance that the president and con
gress retain control of a program requiring such large
federal expenditures," Krug declared.
At the same time, however, the secretary of the interior
said if the people of the area were against such federal
domination of affairs then "we should find some other
means of developing a river basin." He would let the
representatives in congress from the region indicate
whether or not the "people back home" were for a CVA.
He didn't want those people to vote on the proposition,
however, since that would be "impractical."
That leaves the matter where it has stood from the
start: A CVA to work must admittedly be dominated by
Washington. So the best solution to development of the
river basin country is for the interested states to unite
their efforts in their development program. Then the
congressmen can present the needs in Washington for
appropriations, working closely with the existing govern
ment agencies.
This latter, regional plan demands Intelligent, foreward
looking leadership on the part of the Pacific Northwest.
Certainly that leadership can be found.
Insurance Against Depression
As insurance against depression, it must be evident to
all that some method must be devised by which America
can be paid for its surplus products to foreign lands other
than by loans (unpaid) as. after World War I or gifts,
lend-lease or ERP after World War II, all at the expense
of American taxpayers.
The suggestion made by President Truman to congress
to study the plan of insuring by safeguards investments
by American business and enterprise in all good neighbor
countries and thereby distributing America's dollars avail
able for return in payment of our products may be the
answer.
This can probably be done by negotiating treaties or
agreements giving American business men and investors
protection in those countries against confiscation of their
investments, and other advantages currently afforded by
the United States to the nationals of all foreign countries.
Part payment of American merchandise with currency
of foreign countries should be given consideration and lead
to currency stabilization. We already have a system of
American branch banks in most friendly foreign lands
which could aid and supervise investment.
At least such a program deserves extended study not
only by government, but our business interests for we
annot perpetually carry on foreign trade and dispose of
our surplus commodities on a gift basis without a recur
rence of depression.

Age Doesn't- Bother Hippo
New York VP) To be the oldest hippopotamus in the world
is something.
But Peter the Great, venerable Bronx zoo hippo, took his
46th birthday calmly. That's twice the age of the average
hippo equivalent to an age of 130 or so in humans.
Pete has never known the love of another hippo since
he was taken from his mother at the age of three. In fact,
he's really never known another hippo.
He stares reflectively at his human visitors. He lowers his
two tons into his pool, snorting and wallowing. He eats a
gruel of hay. It's just another day to him.
FORMULA: CUT PRICES, NOT WAGES
Truman Puts the Heat

By JAMES MARLOW
Washington, July 15 W) President Truman is putting the
heat on business, not labor, to get this country out of its slump.
He wants businessmen to cut prices, but not wages.

his radio talk Wednesday night.

contrary to all tradition, since
Senator Ellender wasn't elected

But, as in the senate, the

employees are cramped for lack

two empty rooms, is blocking
a bill to construct a new office

Bulls Don't Like Red,

North Andover, Mass. VP) William A. Mazarinko and his
large, brown bull aren't speaking. Not after what happened.
Fire broke out In the Maiarinko barn about dawn and
Mazarinko called the fire department whioh rushed apparatus
out to the farm or almost to the farm.
The bull plainly didn't like red fire engines he just planted
himself in a narrow roadway and challenged the firemen to
come on. They didn't
Doubling as picadors, the fire fighters armed themselves
with pitchforks and drove the bull back into a field. The bull
got loose and came back. The fire was getting worse. The
firemen finally penned the bull in a nearby pasture.
By that time, the big, wooden barn was beyond saving.
