Drunk; Three Slain

crazed truck driver told police
today he shot four persons
through th haA kill in a thr
of them, because "their laughter
irritated me."
Kenneth Kuzner, 30, Detroit,
entered a local saloon shortly
before midnight and sat at the
end of the bar for a few min
utes. Then he got up and fired
"about a dozen" shots from a
.38-caliber revolver at the four
persons, who were seated in a
booth nearby.
The dead were identified as

local grocery wholesaler; his
wife, Jeannie, 26. and Mrs.
Margaret S. Cross. 31, a divorcee
who operated a women's cloth
ing store here. James R. Dol
lar. 26, a student at Flint Junior
college, was critically wounded.

mation they had gathered earlier
from witnesses and, Kuzner.
They said Dollar told them he
had "never seen the guy be
fore" when asked if he could
give any reason for the attack
on him and his companions.

icule of him because of his in
toxicated condition.

Courtroom Picture
Ban Draws Attack
Portland (U.PJ Loyd
Wright, Los Angeles, president
of the American Bar associa
tion, yesterday criticized the
A B A's controversial canon
against taking news pictures in
a courtroom.
Wright said he knew of no
reason for the famed "canon 35
which bars photographic or tele
vision coverage of a trial, pro
vided participants in the trial
had no objection.
The Los Angeles attorney said
judges presiding would be able
to assure that such news cover
age was conducted in a manner
that would not interrupt an or
derly trial.
However, Wright, in a speech
earlier to the Multnomah County
Bar association spoke out against
the publicizing of sensation in
formation while a criminal trial
was pending. He also criticized
"the zealous prosecutor" who
released the information to the
press."

Europe Heat Wave
Takes Heavy Toll
. By UNITED PRESS
. Perfect summer weather
smiled on most of the nation to
day. But in Europe a stifling
heat wave has taken more than
150 lives.
European officials said most
of the deaths were caused by
drownings, heat prostration and
lightning.
They, said temperatures were
in the ,70's and 80's, hot for
Europe. .
In this country, the only sign
of unsatisfactory weather was a
few light showers over the Caro
linas and in the Missouri River
valley. The heaviest rainfall
during the evening was 1.77
inches at Augusta, Ga.
; Yesterday, clear weather pro
vided a sunny backdrop for two
big events in the Midwest, the
Major League. All-Star game at
Milwaukee and a parade of 25,
000 Shriners down Chicago's
Michigan ave.
-In New York, there was no
sign of the recent humid hot
spell yesterday. . . The high tem
perature was 81 and the hu
midity was never higher than 53
per cent.
Chicago Recognized world
speed record for steam-powered
trains is 127.06 miles per hour,
a mark which was set in Ohio
50 years ago, back in 1905.

terday, denied the application of
the Coos-Curry electric cooper
ative to build a $25,000,000 pro
ject on the Illinois river Bald
Mountain site.'

port of state engineer, Lewis A.
Stanley. .

cated the plant would be idle for
several months each year. The
report estimated that the plant's
cost of 6.48 mills per kilowatt
