Churchill Recalls
Days as Journalist
For London Paper
London OJ.R) Sir Win
ston Churchill reminisced on his
old war correspondent's exper
iences today in commemorating
the 100th birthday of the Daily
Telegraph and Morning Post
which served as his springboard
to prominence in world affairs.
The former British prime min
ister, in a letter to the editor,
recalled those days of nearly 60
years ago when his journalistic
exploits led to a seat in Parlia
ment and eventually to a hallow
ed place in modern history.
Oldest Staff Members
"As the oldest surviving mem
ber of the Daily Telegraph and
Morning Post staff,'' said the
80-year-old statesman, "I'm glad
to send my warmest greetings
and congratulations to the paper
on reaching its century."
Churchill was a 23-year-old
2nd lieutenant in the British
army when the Daily Telegraph
-hired him to cover a native re
bellion on India's northwest fron
tier. Foreshadowed Destiny
The dispatches he authored
foreshadowed his destiny as a
writer, diplomat and statesman.
A civilian by 1899, he was
commissioned by the London
Morning Post to cover the Boer
War in South Africa.
Churchill was captured by the
Boers, but escaped in one of the
great exploits of the war. He
came home a hero and immed
iately won a seat in Parliament.
Later the Daily Telegraph and
Morning Post amalgamated.
The Gjoa, the tiny sloop in
which Capt. Roald Amundsen
pioneered the Northwest Pass
age, is preserved as a memorial
in San Francisco's Golden Gate
park.

Oregon Declared Free of
Organized Prostitution
Portland (U.R) Attorney
General Robert Y. Thornton said
in a speech here yesterday that
the state was just about free of
organized prostitution.
Thornton said he had received
several complaints of syndicated
prostitution which were veri
fied when he first took office.
He said the clean-up was made
possible by the education of pub
lic officials who formerly held
mistaken ideas about organized
vice.
"An astonishing number of
people had swallowed old
myths," Thornton said, "about
the desirability of controlled,
segregated prostitution."
He said the American Medical
Association had found that there
was no safe medical supervision
of prostitutes.

Contributing to
Special Trust Fund
Detroit (U.R) General Mo
tors today began contributing to
a special trust fund to pay sup
plemental unemployment comp
ensation benefits under terms of
a newly-effective contract with
the CIO United Auto Workers.
The union notified the com
pany Tuesday that the contract
had been approved by more than
90 per cent of GM's 350,000 wor
kers. Terms of the contract call for
company contributions of five
cents an hour per worker to a
fund which will insure workers
of between 60 and 65 per cent
of their take home pay during
26 weeks of layoff.
Pay Increase
The contract also calls for pay
increases ranging from 6 to 24
cents an hour for GM workers.
The increases are effective im
mediately. Both the trust fund contribu
tions and the pay increases are
retroactive to May 29, the form
al contract date. The retroactive
payments will be made in a lump
sum on the workers' next pay
day.
The three-year pact was reach
ed by negotiators June 13. It had
to be ratified by today to become
effective.
Meanwhile, Chrysler Corp. of
ficials met with two separate
union negotiating ' teams in an
effort to work out an agreement
similar to the GM pact and one
reached earlier with Ford.

FCC Grants Permit
For Portland TV
Washington (U.R) The
Federal Communications com

cific Television, Inc., a permit
for a new TV station at Port
land, Ore., on Channel 8.
The FCC denied competing ap
plications for the same channel
by Westighouse Radio Stations,

cent interest in North Pacific is
held by the King Broadcasting

Violent Deaths of
Five Discovered ,
On Wyoming Ranch
Cora, Wyo. U.R) A forest
ranger, a coroner, a telephone
operator and a lineman today
pieced together a handful of
clues in an attempt to learn
events that led to an afterribon

deaths, at the ranch home of a
neighbor.
The time of the horror was es

operator. She said she noticed at
4 p.m. last Friday that the tele
phone at the ranch of Jack
Alexander was off the hook.
She thought it was out of
order."

telephone repairman disconnect
ed the line leading to the Alex
ander ranch. Others on the line
had complained their telephone
service had been interrupted.
The repairman didn't take
time to go on to the Alexander
ranch. He was called away on
other important work.
Yesterday forest ranger Dar
rol Fluckinger went to the Alex
ander home to check "some graz
ing permits.
He was met at the gate by the
Alexander dog.
"He seemed very friendly, just
like he was glad to see some
body," Fluckinger said.
Then the ranger saw a man
who appeared to be "just relax
ing in the shade."
Bodies in Yard
The "man" was the body of F.
X. O'Brien of Miami, Fla., Alex
ander s father-in-law.
Fluckinger then found the
bodies of Alexander, his wife,
Patricia, 4; his daughter, Grace,
six; and finally his mother-in-
law, Mrs. F. X. O'Brien, strewn
around the sun-baked ranch
grounds.
A deer rifle lay beside Alex
ander's body. Mrs. O'Brien's
body was found beside the dis
connected telephone. She ap
parently had been shot , as she
screamed into it for help.
Sublette County Coroner Fran
cis Turner said Alexander ap
parently shot the other four.
then turned his deer rifle on him
self.
The slayings, he said, were
apparently comitted by Alexan
der in some unexplained rage.
