guns thrust through eight-inch
slits.

pumped bullets into a target pin

shots with Nicaraguan revolu
tionaries without getting a
scratch and also had come un
scathed through later brushes

moans were audible to news
papermen and other witnesses

Salt Lake City reporter, saw the
execution.

posed on the former marine for
the slaying of Detective Hoyt L.
Cites in a gun battle during

Ing in of the stack of chips all
of us receive at birth and while
I have lost heavily in the game
of life, I Intend to face the
cashier as a good loser."
OFFICE AT SEATTLE
PORTLAND, Feb. 5 (IP)
Dean Wayne L. Morse and two
other members of the war labor
board were here today making
plans for the opening of a Pa
cific northwest regional labor
board office at Seattle.
The dean of the University of
Oregon law school said mem
bers of the regional board would
be divided equally between Ore
gon and Washington with four
representatives each from the
public, labor and industry. The
national board will name the
members, Morse said, but in
dustry and labor will submit
their own nominations.
Morse said the Seattle office
and 11 other regional offices
throughout the nation probably
would be functioning within 10
days or two weeks.
The regional office will not
have jurisdiction that conflicts
with that of the west coast lum
ber commission, which will main
tain its office here and continue
to be responsible only to the na
tional board, Morse said.

ment for dairy workers and in

demands of the group.
