WOMAN SHIELD FAILS FOR BANDIT When a lone bandit held up an East Providence. 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. Ridgway. su
preme commander of Allied forces
in Europe.

Titles On Ballot Measures Confusing
By FAl'L W. IIARVKV JR.
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

what taxes are equitable.
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,

LONDON l.fl Teachers In

Council are being urged to go a

Don't keep them after school too

And, above all. don't be sarcas
