TESSIONAL WASHINGTON, D. ©. “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” VOL. LXXIX., NO. 11,974 JUNEAU, ALASKA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1951 Leath Confesses He Wanted fo Kill Son, Says Gilmore An alleged confession in which Mel Leath reportedly admits he had “decided” to kill his 5-year-old son Jimmy, then himself, has been obtained from Leath, according to U.S. Attorney P. J. Gilmore, Jr. Leath and the boy are both in the hospital, Jimmy in critical con- dition from a deep stab wound in the chest, said to have been in- flicted by his father Friday night. Leath is in fair condition, hospital authorities report, from a self- inflicted knife wound in his chest. The confession, according to Gil-| more, was obtained by Juneau Chief of Police Bernard Hulk, and U. S. Marshal Sid Thompson. Gilmore said that Leath described how he took the kitchen knjfe from a drawer, plunged it into the child's breast, then stabbed himself. The purported confession did not tell why Leath decided upon this action, or when, according to Gil- more. The U.S. Attorney said that no charges have been filed. “Charges may not be filed for a few days yet, depending upon the condition of the boy,” Gilmore said. Mrs. Leath has previously stated that she would file charges against her husband. She said that she, Leath, Jimmy and Carol, 14-year- old stepdaughter, were in the kitchen of their home at 233 Frank- lin Street Friday night when the stabbing occurred. She said that Leath had been drinking and ap- parently went beserk. She said he called the boy toj him, saying, “Jimmy, I want to tell you something.” Then, she! said, he grabbed. a kitchen kni[ei and rammed it into the child’s chest. | U. S. Aiding ltalian Flood Vidims with Million Dollars ROVIGO, Italy, Nov. 26 — (# —| Flood fighters readied new dyke- | cutting blasts today to.hasten to the Adriatic the destructive waters carpeting this Po River delta area.| Though the water level dropped’ slowly in this drowned-out provin-| cial capital, new threats were posed by disrupted sewage systems, weak- ened buildings and a lack of dri)1k~i ing water. More than 160,000 have been made homeless and the unofficial death | toll has climbed past 150 in the‘ last 17 days of floods, but thousandxl clung stubbornly to the upper stories of their water-weakened, marooned homes. W. Averell Harriman, US. Di- rector of Mutual Security, warned in Rome of the danger of disease and announced that $1,000,000 would be furnished the Italian gov- ernment for medicines and’ othér supplies for the flood victims.

By DREW PEARSON ASHINGTON—The bitterness felt among U, S. military leaders over the massacre of some 6,000 American troops in Korea also ex- tends back to similar bitterness cver the Malmedy massacre. If the SS men who shot down 150 American prisoners in cold blood during_the Battle of the Bulge had been properly punished, instead of being held up to the public as innocent victims by Senator McCarthy, it is believed a precedent would have been set to discourage such massacres in the future. The grim story of the Malmedy massacre and the campaign staged on the Senate floor to protect the Nazi murderers was one of the most shameful in years. Forty- three of the cold-blooded Nazi| “blow torch battalion” had begn condemned to death for the sav- age, cold-blooded shooting of 150 American prisoners, when sudden- ly Senator McCarthy demanded an “investigation. He charged that American prosecutors had extort- ed confessions. The 'Senate Armed Services committee appointed a subcommit-~ tee under Republidan Sen, Ray Baldwin of Connecticut, to probe McCarthy’s charges, and a lengthy hearing took plack at which Mc- (Continued on Page 4) | mew |t "StopHaggling’ Eisenhower Tells Leaders ROME, Nov. 26— (# —General Dwight D. Eisenhower sternly warned Atlantic Pact commanders today to stop haggling over com- mand appointments, forget individ- ual national glory and “attempt the impossible” in building true western security against aggres- sion by pooling their sovereignty. He declared that unless Eu- rope’s defense line is built strong- ly, far east of the Rhine, there never will be peace without fear. This was interpreted as a definite reference to inclusion of German forces in the Atlantic Pact army. The Atlantic Pact supreme com- mander addressed the North At- lantic Treaty Organization (NATO) chiefs of staif in advance of an appearance before the 12-nation NATO council. He is slated to tell its members they must step up their defense efforts for peace through strength. Opposition By Britain As he spoke, qualified sources reported that Britain again had turned down a proposal to set up an American-led North Atlantic naval comand at once. Britain is com- mitted, on paper, to accgp(ing an American admiral as head of the North Atlantic command, but ap- parently the British want action deferred until a Briton is put in charge of the projected middle east command. The Atlantic Pact de- fense ministers are recommending that this action be put off until| Greece and Turkey formally enter | the partnership, probably in Janu- tary. The same sources said Prime Minister Churchill's government thus far also has refused to ac- cept the American .30 caliber Garand as the standard rifle for the Atlantic allies. Britain still is arguing in favor of its own 280 riflg. e 3 “The North ~Aflantic " ‘command structure, the mideast command, the small arms standardization and the streamlining of NATO's mili- ary structure are the chief issues booming down the North Atlantic| who are meet- | defense ministers ing here. Priesi?kga Stalin Revered As ‘New Messiah' NEW YORK, Nov. 26—#—Some churchgoers behind the Iron Cur- tain now must pray to “our father who art in Moscow” and revere Stalin as a “new Messiah,” two Ukrainian priests, hooded to con-| ceal their identifies, said yesterday.| Communist use of religion as an instrument of propaganda, they added, has led to the substituting of Stalin’s image for religious fig- ures in church buildings in Russia and Red satellite countries. Details of the Communist ex- ploitation of religion were given to newsmen by the two priests, who said they recently escaped irom behind the Iron Curtain. The interviews were at the ISLh annual convention of the, Ukrainian Catholic Youth League. Officials of the league identified them only as “Father” and “Father Y.” FROM ANCHORAGE H. J. M.

Two deluxe New York-New Or- leans passenger trains met headon yesterday afternoon. The silvery northbound South- erner pulled from a siding here into the path of the onrushing southbound Crescent. The sledge- hammer crash turned the first car of the Southerner into a giant coffin, The trains met on a high railroad trestle 29 miles southwest of Bir- mingham. The Crescent was using the Southern Railway tracks be- cause a bridge was out on the Louisville and Nashville Lines near New Orleans, 320 miles away. The Southerner had stopped af- ter pulling out from the siding. The Crescent rounded a curve and roared into it. “We were slammed back 80 feet,” said George Newton, Seminary, Miss,. a passenger in the third coach of the northbound train. “Ev- erybody was running through the train screaming.” All of the known dead were on the Southerner, most of them in the first car, which was smash- ed like an eggshell. Trainmen said P. J. Powers, Birmingham, engineer of the northbound train, | was killed and his body caught in the wreckage. Pifteen Negro dead were removed from, the ill-fated car, the “Mississ- ippi,” a combination baggage-pas- senger coach with 22 seats. K. C.

And there are planes in al- most every community. The early bush pilots have become airlines or flying services.” Carr, 50, started out as a bush in 1932 What used to be his bush beat is now the Jack_Carr Flying Ser- vice. “And to show you how our folks fly, one-tenth of the float planes in the continental United States are based at Lake Spenard near Anch- orage.

Then in 2 race against the 30- day deadline and while the fighting goes on, the negotia- tors will work on three other points that must be agreed on before a full armistice can be signed. There still is a possibility of an armistice in Korea by Christmas, but no one in an official poistion at the UN camp would risk a pre- diction that a truce can be negotiat- ed by then.
