Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF A CHARACTER in Ventura, California, found the perfect method recently for talking himself out of jury duty. "I know it's unpatriotic," he told the judge, "but you just gotta excuse me from jury duty on this drunken driving case." "Why?" snapped the judge. "I'm the defendant," ex plained the character. He was excused. A television tycoon, living mainly on tranquilizer pills, was finally persuaded to con sult a psychiatrist. He signed tip for the full treatment, but the very next morning phoned the psychiatrist. "I find I'll be terribly tied up for a while. Doc, so I'm sending my first five sessions on tape." Hugh Scott tells about the son of old Erin who implored his grand mother. "Please don't lie on the pool table, Grandma, you're wear tng off the green." 4) 1358. by Bennttt Cert Distributed by King Features Syndicate. AA the N s70 1 jEyyL Johnson Predicts Democratic Gains Washington (IP) Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson predicted Monday night the Democrats will pick up enough seats in the No vember congressional elec tions "to put an end to govern ment by veto." The Texas Democrat lashed out anew at President Eisen hower for vetoing the rivers and harbors bill and the farm price bill in a speech before some 2,000 women Democrats. Former President Truman also assailed the Republican administration. In familiar "give 'em hell" vein, Truman blamed the recession on the administration's former "tight money" policy and charged it was used to "rob the ordinary citizens to pay off political ob ligations to the gigantic finan ciers." The women applauded loudly when Truman de clared, "If you don't elect Democratic senators and con gressmen, you deserve what you get." The 1958 Campaign Confer ence for Democratic Women scheduled a "workshop" today on the state of the nation's economy led by Sens. Paul H. Douglas (111.) and John J. Sparkman (Ala.) and Reps.

Three Persons Die As Father, Sons Fire on Policemen Dana Point, Calif. W An unemployed carpenter and his two sons trained to strict obedience shot it out with sheriffs deputies Monday night in a battle which brought death to three per sons. When the firing had stopped, the father, Charles Seyfert, 39, Tucson, Ariz., his 10-year-old son, Tommy, and Sher iff Deputy Robert Schultz, 34, Garden Grove, lay dead. An other son and a second deputy were critically wounded. The stage for the blazing gun battle was set when Sey fert's wife, Mrs. Arlene Sey fert, 34, and 4-year-old daugh ter, Roberta, escaped from the family's dilapidated 20-year-old bus at her sister's home in nearby San Clemente. Mrs. Seyfert described her husband as a mental case and asked Mrs. Mary Phillips to ask sheriff's deputies to stop the bus in which Seyfert drove away. Bus Overtaken Deputy Schultz and his partner, Edward G. Johnson, stopped the bus on radio or ders at the Street of the Blue Lantern in this expensive resi dential area. Johnson said Seyfert open ed the door of the bus and came out holding a .22 caliber pistol which he dropped on orders of the .two sheriff's deputies. Seyfert's oldest boy, Allyn, 16, leaped from the vehicle, grabbed the gun and opened fire. He was cut down by Johnson and fell to the street critically wounded. Then, 10-year-old Tommy grabbed the gun from his brother's hand and fired. Schultz was hit in the chest, and Johnson shot the boy in the face. Seyfert joined the battle with the same dropped pistol, fired at Johnson and was cut down by the officer's bullets sprawling backwards into the door of the bus. Johnson, wounded with two bullets in him, dragged him self back to the patrol car and radioed for aid. Fifty of ficers from the beach com munities which line the coast near here, about 60" miles south of Los Angeles, answer ed it. Officers said the boys ap parently took up the gun bat tle because their father, de scribed by his wife as a religious fanatic, who had trained his sons to strict obedience, had told them to "shoot if anyone tries to stop us." Inside the bus, officers found two other rifles . and hand guns brought by Sey fert from Arizona. He was looking for work in California.
