PENDLETON BOY'S CLAIM GIRL SHOT IN HEAD UPHELD Pendleton, Ore:, Oct. 16-4U.R) A second examination today re vealed that 16-year-old June Rei man was shot in the head as claimed by her 14 -.year -old schoolmate,- Ronald Elder, charged with the girl's murder. Young Elder told arresting of ficers he had been hunting with the girl when he had a sudden impulse to attack her. He said he was carrying her small-caliber gun and fired at the back of her head. She fell on her face but he was frightened away after removing part of her clothing. All parts of his- story dove tailed with the evidence except the shooting claim, since Dr. Joseph Beeman, state criminolo gist, found no bullet wound in her head. The re-examinations, however, revealed the bullet en tered, her head just above the hairline and emerged below her left -eye, where a severe bruise had hidden the wound. Repentant and moody, the boy was held in the Umatilla county jail, awaiting his hearing in Ju venile court Monday. It was an ticipated he would be held' to trial In circuit court. The girl's body was found in a thicket last Sunday night when she failed to return home from hunting squirrels. The neighbor boy joined searchers in the hunt for her assailant but suspicion was directed to him when a mud print near the body was found to match his corduroy trousers, He was an average boy in school, good In his studies and with; an interest for dramatics He seemed unable to explain why he killed his friend. - A single armored division uses more than 600 tons of am--munition and 78,000 pounds of food for every day It Is in action.

It I'm to give the orders as in a democracy the voters, the little men, must then I want certain information. Or my orders are likely to go haywire." " - JOHN CITIZEN, Main Street American, In "let the People Know,"-by Norman Angell J ohn CrnzeN of 1 943 is more full of curiosity, less cocksure of the answers, hungrier for information than he has ever been. He's hungry for news, of course, on how the war is going and what kind of peace will be written when it's over. But the ques tions he's asking go much farther. The facts that he wants no Government spokesman, no editor, no commentator can bring him in full. To many of his questions, only industry can give . the answers. . .. "How well is industry doing its part in the war?" "What is industry doing now to help assure me an opportunity and an income when peace returns?" "How is industry planning to give us a better world?" ' By industry, John Citizen doesn't mean just the giants. He means the plant around the corner, too . . . the factory that em ploys people like him in his own city ... the company whose payroll means sales for local stores, tax money for local improve ments, a better city in which John Citizen, and his sons who'll come marching home, can live and prosper after the war. In fact, he's looking to all business and industry for the answers. Being fact-minded . , . wanting his answers complete and visual as well as fast . . . interested in the news as never before . , . it's only natural for John Citizen and.his family, to turn to their newspapers with unparalleled eagerness, to read- them with a thoroughness never equaled. . - ' .' Increasingly, in their newspaper Mr. and Mrs. John Citizen are finding the kind of answers they seek from industry. To industry's story, as told today in newspaper advertising, they are already giving a degree of attention seldom before won by adver tising of any kind ... a fact attested scientifically by The Con tinuing Study of Newspaper Reading and confirmed again and again by the experiences of industrial advertisers. To executives who have not yet seized the opportunity, this new public awakening to industry's message signals a chance to build for the future ... a chance to find a new high J. ; ror itself in the hearts as well as the minds of millions. v For the millions who hold in their hands the destiny of industry, both great and small, are the same millions who are looking first to their newspapers for full information on. today's war and tomorrow's peace. . Industry, too, must let the people know , the people who'll issue tomorrow's orders ,t,the people who are reading the newspapers today.
