Outbreak of '
-Ager Kills
Wolf Pack'
Policeman in Latest
Juvenile Terrorism
Chicago U.R) A gun
packing teen-ager shot and kill
ed a veteran policeman Wednes
day night in Chicago's latest
outbreak of "wolf pack" terror
ism. It was the second time a Chi
cago teen-ager had killed with
in 24 hours.
At the very time that Police
man Lyons Kelleher was being
gunned dovn in a South Side
night club, two teen-agers were
surrendering on a street corner
for the fatal stabbing of a youth
Tuesday night.
Within the past week, juve
nile "wolf pack" gangs have
slugged a teacher in a school
room corridor and swaggered
along sidewalks, attacking any
one who caught their fancy.
Mayor Richard J. Daley called
an emergency meeting of top of
ficials Wednesday to stop the
bloodshed.
Kelleher, a veteran of 23
years on the police force, was
killed during a routine check
up at a Negro district jazz spot
which was reported to be
rendezvous for narcotic addicts.
Trail of Blood j
His slayer, identified as a 19
year-old Negro youth, escaped
while another policeman, badly
wounded, emptied his gun at
him. A trail of blood on the
sidewalk indicated the killer
had been hit at least once.
Kelleher, 53, and his partner,
William Derrig, 38, entered, the
Boulevard Colonial Room at the
Boulevard Hotel about 11:15
p.m. The night spot was filled
.by about 25 hot music fans who
were waiting for a jazz band to
strike up.
Derrig went into the room
while Kelleher stood at the
door. Suddenly, a youth broke
from the bar and tried to get
past Kelleher.
The policeman grabbed him
and said "where are you going?"
Th youth twisted away and
tome up with a sub-nosed re
volver.
Kelleher drew almost simul
taneously, but he was too late
he youth fired four shots into
fi chest and then whirled on
derrig with a shot which pierced
$is right hand.
Jfet in Leg
Derrig, his gun-hand stream
In blood, ran after the fleeing
youth, firing as he went. Out
side en "the sidewalk, the youth
turned and brought the police
man down with a bullet in the
left leg.

Gloria Swanson Feels Like Trapped
Criminal Photographers Seen Below
By GLORIA SWANSON
Written for United Press
Rome (U.R) As I looked from
the windows of my apartment I
saw men with cameras darting
about on the street- below and
pointing to my floor. I felt like
a trapped animal.
And so did Sir Laurence
Olivier, whom they had follow
ed to my address.
They never would have be
lieved, even if we had sworn
on a stack of Bibles, the reason
for our lunching together. The
truth is a simple and sad story
of a "Gal Friday" who once
worked for me back in the- 20s
and 30s. Later, she went to work
for the Oliviers. Now she has
fallen desperately ill, so most of
our visit concerned our "dear
Ethel."
4 However, before his visit came
to an end, we talked shop. What
two actors don't? And we remi
nisced, of course, because Larry
Olivier made his first talking
picture with me when I pro
duced a movie in London in
1952.
I reminded him of a crazy
week end on the Thames when
he climbed a tall flag pole and
we all had a fit and such a time
getting him down.
Sleeping Beauty
Leaving "then" for "now" he
told me there is a possibility he
will make "Sleeping Beauty"
with Marilyn Monroe, and that
his wife Vivien Leigh will start
rehearsals shortly on Noel Cow
ard's newest play.
I amused him with stories of
my Italian film, "My Son Nero."
Pointing to some ruins on a hill
across the street, I told him,
"That's where I, Agrippina, and
my son Nero used to live about
2000 years ago."
Larry said he thought he liked
my present quarters better
laundry and all.
"What do you mean laun
dry?" I inquired.
"Isn't that yours?" he asked
laughingly, motioning to the left
of one of my front windows. I
looked and then quickly moved
two of Chicago's top policemen.
Hoffman had been named as
the youth who stabbed and kill
ed 20-year-old William McNeff
in a street brawl Tuesday night.
Deputy Police Commissioner
Kyron Phelan said a- man called
his home at 11 p.m. and told him
Hoffman and Fernandez were
waiting, to surrender on a street
corner.
Phelan drove with Chief of
Detectives Patrick Deeley to the
corner and found the sloppily-
dressed, -bushy-haired .youths.
They did not resist and Hoff
man admitted the stabbing, Phe-
nandez, both 19, surrendered to lan said.
Cahill Conviction
Upheld by Court
Salem U.R) -The Oregon Su
preme Court has upheld the
conviction of Otto W. Cahill of
Delake on a charge of conversion
of public funds. 1
Cahill appealed after he was
convicted in a Polk county Cir
cuit Court trial on a change of
venue. He was a commissioner
and secretary "of the Taft-Nels-cott-Delake
water district from
which he received $750, suppos
edly to buy water pipe which he
said he could get on favorable'
terms from the government as
a disabled veteran. I
His defense was that he had j
returned the money to the treas-j
urer of the district who died a
few days thereafter. The state
claimed the treasurer's signature
on the receipt was a forgery.
Certain signatures of the treas
urer which were genuine but
which had not been admitted or
treated as genuine by Cahill,
were placed in evidence and Ca
hill contended that this consti
tuted error.

Ugly Undies
I must confess that the laun
dry strung out of all the win
dows on either side of my apart
ment amuses me very much in
deed, because the city author
ities are so very strict about any
body charfging the facade of an
old building. "But," I continued,
"the authorities do nothing about
ugly undies changing the appear
ance of a building."
I paused for breath and he
quickly suggested, "Surely you,
Miss Soapbox, can change all
that with a note to the proper
persons. And you might add that
the color combinations show no
instinct for the esthetic!"
Time flies, and as he kissed
my hand at the door to depart a
flash bulb went off. He said
"You ' see, nobody will believe
the story about 'dear Ethel'
it's sure to be a new romance,
do you mind?"
"Mind. Don't be silly, Sir Lau
rence, you old flag pole sitter!"
Another Bad Year
Seen for Farmers
Corvallis (U.R) M. D.
Thomas, Oregon State College
agricultural economist yesterday
predicted that Oregon farmers
faced another bad year for in
come! Thomas said the state's
farmers may make only a little
more than half what they made
in 1951.
The economist said that the
"soil bank" plan proposed by
the. Department of Agriculture
would bring only long range
benefits to the farms and that
the only farmers who would
benefit immediately would be
seed growers who would find
an expanded market for seeds
to plant the soil banks.
He said farm surpluses built
up in past years would continue
to depress prices down this
year.
The soil banks would take 10
to 20 per cent of the nation's
crop land out of production.
