LXXV., NO. 11,504 BROTHER KILLS LAMOORE GIRL WITH RIFLE SHOT A three-year-old girl died this afternoon at the Government hos- pital here from wounds received when a rifle with which her young brother was playing, was fired ac- cidentally. She was Yvonne LaMoore, daugh- ter of Mrs. Betty LaMorre, whose husband died on the gallows at the Federal Jail April 14 for his part in the murder of a Juneau grocer. ‘The tragic shot was fired shortly after 11 o’clock this morning in the home of Yvonne’s grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. William Kunz, 22 In- dian Village. The bullet entered the child’s back. Police said she ran 30 feet to her grandmother’s bedroom betore collapsing. ‘With Mrs. Jake Cropley, a neigh- bor, holding her, the child was rushed by police to the Government hospital. She was taken to surgery, and the bullet was removed; but, in spite of immediate medical atten- tion, she died at 1 p.m. Police Chief Bernard E. Hulk said he was told the rifle had been left at the foot of the stairs by Wil- liam Kunz, Yvonne's grandfather, when he returned from hunting. Yvonne’s brother had only been able to tell him that he “had been playing with the gun,” Chief Hulk said. Mrs. LaMoore and the children have been living with Mr. and Mrs. Kunz. Chief Hulk md an empty sheil was found in the ‘chamber of the rifle, a .32-20 caliber piece. A live shell was in the magazine, he said. (anada’s Siamese Twins Pass Away Affer Operation EDMONTON, Alta., May 15—#®— Canada’s Siamese twins — Beverly and Brenda—died on the operating table yesterday, a few minutes after a 12-man surgical team had severed the flesh which linked their vital organs.

WBHINGTON — Shortly after Congressman Parnell Thomas, Re- publican, went to jail for salary kickbacks, this column pointed tc a Democratic Congressman, Victor Wickersham of Oklahoma, whe seemed guilty of certain monkey business with his Congressiona’ payroll. Specifically, I showed that: 1. Wickersham was paying one employee, James W. Taylor, $7,72C a year, though the aforesaid Tay- lor actually worked as salesman for the Herd Equipment Company of Oklahoma City. 2. A second employee, Lloyd Matthews, drew $2.208 though act- ually spending his time in Wicker- sham’s Washington real estate firm rather than attending the interests of Oklahoma voters. It's the tax- payers, incidentally, who pay these salaries in order to handle Con- gressional business, not sell real es- tate or machinery. 3. It was also shown that Wick- ersham, apparently unwilling to support his 72-year-old father, had kept him jon the Library of Con- gress payroll as a watchman for (Continued on Page Four) SPECIAL ELECTION, ON SCHOOL BONDS, PROPOSAL TUESDAY | Property owners in the Juneau Independent School District will go| to «the polls tomorrow to decide whether or not they want a new primary school building for their children. They will vote yes or no on this proposal: “Shall the Juneau Independent School District incur a bonded in- debtedness not to exceed the sum ot $750,000 and issue and sell its ne- gotiable general obligation bonds in the sum not to exceed $750,000, the proceeds therefrom to be used for the purpose of acquiring and con- struction of school buildings anc facilities?” Polling places will be (1) the Council Chambers in the City Hall and (2) the home of Mrs. Stanley Jekill, the second house north of DeHarts Grocery at Auk Bay. Polls will open at 8 a.m. and re- main open until 7 p.m. Voters residing in Thane will votc at the City Hall and voters residing on Glacier Highway at the polling place nearest their home, Superin tendent of Schools Sterling S Sears said today. To pass the proposal, 65 percen of the voters must cast ballots ir favor of it. The $750,000 bond issue will fi- nance the district’s share of the cost of constructing a 10 classroon grade school building on the Chan- nel side of Glacier Highway be- tween 12th and Irwin Streets. Half of the actual cost of con structing ond equipping the schoo will be financed by Federal fund under provisions of the Public Works Bill for Alaska. But the school district will have to purchase the site, fill it, and bury the high tension power lines now crossing the property. School officials said that the tull amount of the bond issue woula probably not be used for financing the construction of the $800,00¢ school building, but they want tc be sure that there is enough avail- able to make sure the job will be done, once started. Money received by the school dis- trict frorm: Terrijorial tobacco tax funds will p.chably be sufficient tc retire the bonds in 20 years, they said. Election officials at the City Hal precinct tomorrow will be the Rev H. E. Beyer, the Rev. A. B. Morgan and Mrs. C. E. Rice; officials at the Auk Bay polling place will be Mrs C. R. Dobbins, Mrs. Frank D. Peers and Mrs. Jekill. MANY OBSERVE MOTHER'S DAY AT ELKS' RITES In reverent observance o!

Distress calls have come to Ladd Air Force base from the Fort Yu- kon area, which a year ago was inundated. A flight of F-80's is ready tc drop a load of 500 and 1,000 pounc Yombs on the ice choked river. The fliers are working with KAZH, the bush pilot radio, which is the only communication in some sutlying areas.

He asked that President Truman fire Acheson. Contending American policies played into the hands of the Com- munists in China, McCarthy said that Acheson had “bought” a pian for the Far East devised by Owen Laitimore which is “gigantic in its fraud and complete in its deceit.” He said that Philip Jessup, U.S. roving Ambassador, was a “third member of the Lattimore-Acheson axis” and asked that Mr. Truman fire Jessup, too. McCarthy hit out at Acheson Jessup and Lattimore in an address prepared for the diamond jubilee convention of the Sons of the American Revolusion. Lattimore is a Johns Hopkins University professor and specialist on the Far East who has been an occasional consultant to the State Department. McCarthy has concentrated much of his fire on Lattimore in contend- ing that the State Department har-; bors Communists and Red sympa- thizers. Lattimore has denied he Communist or a sympathizer. Acheson and other living Secre- taries of State have declared also that Lattimore was not the author of American policies in the Far East. McCarthy said in his prepared speech that the strategy of the Acheson-Lattimore axis in Asia is that “of hitting Communists at the front door with a silk handkerchief while they beat the brains out of your friends at the back door.” is a WRECKAGE OF | LOST PLANE|pay SEEN, REPORT FAIRBANKS, Alaska, May 15— (#—The commanding officer of Imprisonment - Not Permitted fo Talk MANILA, May 15—(@®—Two Am- erican airmen freed after 18 months imprisonment by the Chinese Com- munists arrived in Manila by plane from Hong Kong tonight. They were Marine Master Sgt. Elmer C. Bender of Cincinnati and Navy Chief Electriclan William C Smith of Long Beach, Calif. The two were brought here in a Navy flying boat after medical examinations in Hong Kong where they were landed earlier in the day oy a destroyer. Both seemed happy to be free of the Communists. They wer> not >ermitted by the Navy to relate their experiences in the various Chinese villages where they were 1eld by the Reds. Original plans call for the pair to be flown to Guam and then Pearl Harbor before they will be vermitted to talk for publication. The two received a rousing wel- come from U, S. sailors. The de- stroyer had picked them up at sea. They wore il} fitting uniforms the Chinese Communists had given them. Both appeared in good health but were to undergo phys- ical checkups. Lt. Cmdr. Merle McBain, whc talked to them at Hong Kong, re- ported: Both were told by the I Chinese Communists that a revol- ution was imminent in the United States and “you would have been released soon anyway.” Their captors, who took them on Oct. 19, 1948, told the fliers that the United States had made no effort to obtain their release. Smith and Bender were held in various North China villages by the Reds after their capture on a flight over North China from Tsingtao. Their plane was forced down near ‘Tsingtao, a U. 8. Naval base in 1948. The Communists announced last Monday the two had been Te- leased after “confessing to spying” on Communist troop movements. McBain said the two were re- leased May 3. They boarded the British steamer Hunnan at Tsing- tao Wednesday.
