R. bank, the resulting 5-mile chase into Pewtucket, R. I., which claimed the life of one policeman and the wounding of two others, was climaxed in this dramatic manner. Top: A man identified by police as Louis Di Fraia, 27, (right) holds a 30-30 rifle on Mrs. Robert LaPrade as he at tempts to get away from Mrs. LaPrade's home where he had held her, her 5-year-old son and Mrs. LaPrade'i mother hostage. Police opened fire and Difraia, using Mrs. LaPrade as a shield, backed into the house. A tear gas and bullet barrage followed and Di Fraia surrendered, com ing out of the house with his hands up (bottom). Neither Mrs. LaPrade or her mother, Mrs. Mary Sandring were injured. The small son was turned out of the house and police pulled him out of the line of fire. Van Fleet May Be Relieved In Korea NEW YORK (it The New York Times said Tuesday that relief of Gen. James A. Van Fleet, alter 17 months of gruelling- command of the EiRhth Army in Korea, has been decided on at the Pentagon. . There will be no formal an nouncement, however, until his successor has been selected, ac cording to a Washington dispatch to the Times from Austin Stevens. (When asked about the report, an informed official at the Penta gon said he knew of no discussion of Van Fleet's removal or of any thing to indicate such a move was under way.) The Times story said the most prominently mentioned name in considering Van Fleet's successor Is that of Lt. Oen. Maxwell D. Tay lor. Also reported to be under con sideration is Lt. Gen. Anthony C. McAuliffe. Both men are assigned to Army headquarters in Washing ton. Taylor is deputy chief of staff for operations and administration of the Army. McAuliffe is assistant chief of staff of personnel. Taylor formerly was superintend ent of the United Slates Military Academv at West Point, and was commander of the 101st Airborne in World War II. McAuliffe was the commander who said "nuts" to the German command that he surrender at Bastogne in December, 1944. He was acting commander of the 101st at the time, serving in the absence of Gen. Taylor, who was in Wash ington. Taylor returned to Belgium at the height of the action. "The Pentagon has recognised for some time." the Times said, "that Gen. Van Fleet has been car rying a tremendous load in prose cuting the Korean campaign and that relief would be in order." Van Fleet is 60 years old and becomes elieible for retirement next year. Both Taylor and McAuliffe have had experience in the Far East. The Times story also said: The naming of a" successor to Van Fleet undoubtedly would need the approval of the joint chiefs of staff, and the issue has not yet gone before that council, accorduig to an informant. - An Army official said the timing of Van Fleet's relief might depend upon psychological factors invol ving the Korea armistice negotia tions. A general who may be a strong candidate to replace Van Fleet in the important assignment is Gen. Alfred M. Grucnther, chief of staff to Gen. Matthew B.

SALEM Let's shed a tear for the poor voter who has to de cide on 18 ballot measures In Ore gon's general election. It is the largest number since 1926. and some of the.ie bills are so complicated that onlv lawyers and a lew experts can understand them. The 196V legislature took a long forward step in enlightening the voters bv having explanations of cai'h measure printed In the state Voters' Pamphlet, which goes to every person eligible to vote. The same Legislature made an other good move by Its "price tag" bill. This means the estima ted com of money-ralslna bills will be printed with the baUot title. All that Is a big help, but the bal lot titles themselves are a problem that is getting n lot of thought. These titles are prepared by At torney General George Neu ner. and there is a lot of com olulnt that some of them are mis lending and hard to understand. Neuner savs he writes the titles exactly as he is required by law, which is true. But there are many gripes that some of these titles don't meet with an elementary requirement namelv. to Inform the voter brief ly what the measures are about. Three ballot titles are drawing heavy fire now. One of them says "Constitutional Amendment Prohibiting Lotteries. Bookmaking. Pari Mutuel Betting on Animal Races." ' This bill, sponsored by the Ore gon Council of Churches, would outlaw only pari - mutuel betting. because lotteries and bookmaking already are Illegal. The racing supporters claim It's an unfair title because many peo ple will think they are voting pri marily against the already illegal lotteries and bookmaking. Another title savs "Constitution al Amendment Providing Eaulta ble Taxing Method for Use of High wavs." Now. most everybody wants equ itable taxes. The argument comes when attempts are made to decide Police Arrest Candle Shooter BALTIMORE t.f It was nearly three months late for fireworks, and besides, motorists don't usual ly go around shooting Roman can dle balls of fire into the night air. So police arrested Peter Mwor czynski and charged htm with driving without registration, driv ing under a revoked license, with fictitious tags and reckless driving.

The .ialo uuruuse ol this bill Is to abolish the weiglit-mlle taxes on trucks, but nobody ever would guess that from reading the title. This bill Is sponsored by the long haul trucking Industry, and op ponents of the bill think they gut a bum deal on the title. Because of tills title, the "Ore gon Voter," a weekly mnnnilne of public affairs, rails the measure the "gold brick" bill. Another Interesting title Is "Milk Production ard Marketing Act Bill." It goes on to give details of the measure, but with no hint that the bill1 main purpose is to ubollsh state price-fixing of milk at the re tail and wholesale levels. The title of the milk bill could cause a voter to think the new milk controls are being set up. rather thsn removing some of the con trols already in ellect. Titles of some of the other bills are so complicated that only law yers can understand them. There's one simple measure to wind up the affairs of the World War I State Aid Commission, but some voters Spare Rod, Teachers Told LONDON l.fl Teachers In schools run by the London County Council are being urged to go a little easier on the rod. In a booklet on punishment put out by the council today, the touch ers were told: Don't paddle the kiddles too often with nervous children It's quite Indefensible. Don't stand them In the corner It's especially bad for delicate children. Don't keep them after school too long thev may have to get home through heavy traffic. And, above all. don't be sarcas tic. It's fear-lnsplrlng Bnd a don gerous weapon which children will go to any lengths to ovoid. The booklet failed to sny exactly what teachers should do to keep children from getting out of hand.
