Killer of Tulelake Woman Executed San Quentin, Calif. U.R) Henry Thomas, 33, had his sev enth date with death Friday and this time he kept it. The tall, slim Negro was calm and composed as he shuffled into the lethal gas chamber at San Quentin and was executed for his part in the holdup-slaying of a woman nearly six years ago. He said nothing and sat im passively as guards strapped him into the death chair. At 10:03 a.m. the cyanide pellets were dropped into the sulphuric acid beneath the chair. At 10:11 a.m. Thomas was pronounced dead by Dr. M. D. Willcutts. Thomas had won six reprieves during his five years on death row, one of them coming just half an hour before he was to die. But Gov. Goodwin J. Knight rejected two such reprieves this week. Thomas and Willie McCain were convicted of slaying Mrs. Velsie Ainsworth, wife of a Tulelake, Calif., grocer in Octo ber, 1950. McCain is serving a life term. CONSERVATIVES LEAD Quito, Ecuador (U.R) Latest returns from the June 3 presi dential elections showed Friday the Conservative party appar ently will return to power after 6C years of liberal control of Ecuador. The returns gave Con servative Camilo Ponce a mar gin of about 5.000 votes over Paul C. Huerta, his nearest rival. Fisheries Director Ordered Removed Portland (UP) The Ore gon State Fish Commission Fri day reported the removal of M. T. Hoy as state director of fish eries and his replacement by Milton C. James, research co ordinator for Pacific Marine Fisheries Commission. The commission said Hoy would be retained on the staff but probably at reduced pay. Robert Jones, one of three com missioners, said Hoy's replace ment followed a month of dis cussions and that the director had taken on too many duties to handle his job properly. Jones also asserted that Hoy had caused some dissension among research experts. Hoy has served 33 years with the Commission. He has been di rector since 1954.

OO O O O O O O " ' 1 5 Pjij0iUm 4f Burled Treasure Patent Date Passes Test; 1865 Rifle Valuable Item There were so many short barreled handguns in the show case that it looked as if every mobster in St. Louis must have hocked his hardware. "I think I'll take a look at that one," said Frank, pointing to a pile of three weapons in the far corner. The Smith & Wesson .22 with ths spur trigger." "It's a seven-shot, rim fire," the clerk said. You can practic ally carry it in your vest pocket." The barrel, of octagon-shape, blued steel, was only a trifle ov er three inches long. Frank broke the action, peered through the cylinders and examined the rifling. "It's in fair shape," he said, "but frankly, it was made back in the 1800's and $25 is just too steep a price." "I'll give you $15," Frank said. "Split the difference," replied the clerk. "It's yours for $20." "Why pay $20 for that?" I ask- j ed. "It looks like one of the thou- j sands they made back in the : 1870s. Common as dirt." "It looks like one, but it is-: n't," said Frank. "Here's the ! test." i He pointed to the cylinder on 1 which was plainly stamped the j patent date April 3, 1855. i "Usually the patent dates are i worn off. But when you find them stamped clearly on the ' cylinder of a .22 like this, you know you've got the first breech-' loading revolver made for me tallic ammo as we know it today . . . . And that means it's worth considerably more than $20. About five times as much," said Frank with a smirk of satisfaction. LADY WITH ZEPPELIN STAMPS WILL WAIT LONGER "I am not interested in buy ing any stamps," the woman said. "But I might like to sell some." And she set her handbag on the counter and began to search through it. Up she came with a small block of cardboard on which was held under a cellophane cover a block of four Graf Zeppelin stamps. They were the brown stamps of the $1.30 denomination that was put out for the Europe-Pan American flight that took place in the late spring of 1931. "There," she said, handing them to Harry. "He paid $5.25 for them at the time and told me they'd be worth a lot of money in 20 years. "He was right," Harry replied. "They catalogue at $185 for a block of four today, and I'll be glad to give you $150 for them." She looked at them thoughtful ly for a moment or two. "He was right in a way," she finally said with just a shade of disappoint ment in her voice. "That would be a really good return. But I think I'll keep them a while longer." JEWELER REFUSES TO RUIN FIFTY DOLLAR GOLD PIECE George, a jeweler friend of mine, loves to work in precious metals. "I've just spent half an hour trying to sell a person on not having an expensive job done." "Did you succeed?" "No!" "This dame came in here," he went on, "and took out a $50 gold piece. One of those octagon al ones put out in 1915 for the Panama - Pacific exposition in San Francisco. You know, one of those coins with a tiny dolphin in each corner." "Well," he continued. "She had a gold chain, one with several nuggets on it. And what she wanted roe to do was bore a hole through the coin in an ar tistic way, of course so the chain could be run through it. "I'm no numismatist," George went on, "but I knew enough to know there would be a premium on that $50 gold piece, so I called up a dealer and found it was worth $800 in the market today if in good condition, which this one was." "And didn't that make a dif ference," I asked. "None at all," George replied. "She said that her grandfather had bought it for her as a pres ent to wear and that one little hole wouldn't cut the value of the gold. In fact, she got sore at .me for trying to change her mind. Said I was meddling in her business. (Released by McClure News paper Syndicate) Saturn Visible in Summer In Southern Part of Sky CITY APPLIANCE, Inc.

TIL 9 p.m. q OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO By FAY VAN SCHOIACK One of the most beautiful of celestial objects, when viewed through a high powered tele scope, is Saturn most distant of the naked eye planets and until the discovery of Uranus in 1781, the most distant planet known to man. , Galileo, first person to enjoy the beauty of the ringed-planet through the telescope was not little mystified by the sight which met his gaze. Later, it was proven that Saturn was sur rounded by three rings extend ing out from the equator of that body and at no point touching the planet. Of what are the rings com posed?" is a common question. Although greatly interested, astronomers have not been able to determine the exact nature of these rings, called the outer, in ner and dusky or crepe ring. They may be countless numbers of tiny satellites or moons each following its own orbit about Saturn or they may be clouds of dust or grains of sand. But, whatever their composition, they are transparent enough to allow a star of medium brightness to be seen through them. As Saturn travels around the sun the rings are visible from different angles. Twice during the 29V4 years required for one revolution, we see the rings at their broadest. Midway between the time of maximum broadness the rings are edgewise to the sun or earth and so invisible. The rings were edgewise in 1937, at maximum in 1944 and again edgewise in 1950. Some time in 1957 the rings will ap pear to be opened their widest. When earth-dwellers view the rings in their edgewise position they appear in the telescope as a dark band around the planet Saturn In size, Saturn ranks next to the giant "king of the planets," Jupiter. Its volume is about 760 times that of the earth. In spite of its huge bulk, Saturn rotates once in a little more than 10 hours as compared with the tiny earth's 24. This rapid rotation causes a bulging at the equator and a certain amount of flatten ing at the poles. The extremely low average density of Saturn seems to indi cate that very little solid or liq uid matter, such as we know as earth, exists on the planet. If there is a solid or liquid core, it is probably covered with an ex tensive, cloud-filled atmosphere. All summer long Saturn will be visible in the southern sky. To locate this planet find the red, madly twinkling star, Antares, almost due south and low in the southern sky. To the right of Antares a line of five stars lies very nearly at right angles to the line in which Antares is lo- 1 cated. (This is the constellation, Sqorpio, mentioned a few weeks ago in this column.) Slightly to the right or west of this line of five stars you will find the steady, non-twinkling light of the planet Saturn. The stillness of its mellow glow will distinguish this planet from its twinkling neighbors. In mythology Saturn was a jealous father who imprisoned his children so they could not usurp his throne. He was also ruler of the earth during the Golden Age when everyone was happy and no one had to work for a living. During this time laws were unnecessary. To commemorate this happy time the feast of the Saturnalia, held each Decembr was insti tuted before the foundation of Rome.
