The building at lower right, facing street, will contain box office, administration offices and Tudor Guild gift shop. The building at left, for the Passive Resistance bv HaitianslPosfers on DisP'ay f- in Port-Au-Prince, Ha!i (U.R) The people of Haiti wrote a new shining chapter in their national history last week. They deposed another would-be "Emperor Jones" not with bombs and bullets but by passive resistance. Gen. Paul E. Magloire, a husky six-footer, bowed to the unprecedented popular pressure and flew off to exile Thursday. He had been a dominant figure in the Caribbean republic for more than a decade, and presi dent for the past six years. Magloire, known on the is land as "Iron Pants," was a pop ular president. lie was elected in 1950 by an overwhelming ma ' jority and his administration new slate of city officials who are serving past their terms be- cause of an election mixup.

Tacoma Man Hanged For 1954 Slaying Walla Walla !U.R) Artell Junior (Spud) Farley, 27, Ta coma. was hanged at the state penitentiary here at 12:05 a.m. Saturday for the Feb. 21, 1954 slaying of his sweetheart. Farley went to his death on the gallows a few hours after he failed in a last-minute attempt to get a "gubernatorial reprieve to halt the execution. Farley was convicted of the fatal beating of Jlrs.

On Dec. 6. after completing the constitu tional six-year term, he resigned as president but promptly had the Army proclaim him provis ional chief of state and commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Constitution Suspended He followed this by suspend ing the constitution and clap ping prominent opposition party leaders in jail. Rule by a military dictator was repugnant to a people, whose ancestors had wrested in dependence from the armies of Napoleon Bonaparte 153 years ago this coming New Year's day. Their reaction was immediate. A nationwide general strike first paralyzed the capital city of Port-Au-Prince and then spread throughout the republic. Virtually every shop, store and market closed. Transportation and communications were al most at a complete standstill. Lawyers refused to try cases in the courts. Workers, shopowners and professional men ignored re peated government appeals. Mag loire blamed the protest on "for eign interests" including the United States and intervened personally to break the back of the strike. Store Ordered Open Escorted by armed police and troops, he drove to the main de partment store in Port-Au-Prince and ordered the owner to keep the doors open. The doors re mained open but th store was empty. He next called in 30 of the more influential businessmen, including some Americans, and I had them sign pledges to keep : their stores open. They signed ' pledges but the stores remained ; shut. I Tension ran high, but there j were only a few scattered clash ! es by the more hot-headed ele i ments. The Haitians were con- tent to sit it out. ; Strike leaders adopted a nov el method of spreading t h stop-work call. "Chain-letters" were passed by hand and each recipient was urged to make three copies and pass them on. There were reports Magloire sought to whip up Negroes j against the mulattoes. The Ne 1 groes, descendants of African slaves, make up the majority of ! the republic's population as well as its working class. The mulat toes are descended from the for mer French settlers and gener ally are more educated and more prosperous. Magloire Resigns But Magloire's desperate at tempts to retain control proved fruitless against the mass will of the people. On Wednesday, he resigned as provisional chief of state and turned control of the v. K 1 tv I b. e- -i- government to the chief justice of the Supreme Court, Joseph Pierre Louis. The chief justice was next in line under the constitution since there is no vice president. Pierre Louis accepted the mandate af ter receiving a pledge of sup port from the Army, Haiti's only armed force. Thursday, Magloire resigned as supreme general of the Hai tian army, a commission confer red upon him by a special act of his congress, and flew off to exile in Jamaica. There were re ports he would go on to France. Neuberger to Propose Village for Indians Portland (U.R) Sen. Rich ard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.), said here Saturday he would propose to the next session of Congress that the Army Engineers' vil lage at McNary dam be turned over to the Umatilla Indian Ag ency for development as an in dustrial site. The village is now held by the General Services Administration as surplus property. Neuberger said it could be adapted to a privately-operated industrial pro ject offering employment op portunities to as many as 200 or 300 Indians. The proposal is part of a pro gram being advanced by Indian Bureau officials to locate indus trial projects adjacent to areas in which large groups of Indians reside. The village cost about $3 mil lion to build and contains 60.000 square feet of space in buildings suitable for assembly plants and has 315 dwellings. The site is close to water and power sup plies and is served by rail, high way, and river transportation facilities.
