The agency now finances finances operation of 148 con'.ol towers. “Unless the cities are prepared -- to finance operation of these tow ers by July 1, discontinuance could mean the virtual paralysis of com mercial air transportation,” Harri man said. Officials estimated the average annual cost for operation of air port control towers at about $35, 000.

These denials of religious liberty are made at the very moment that protestations of belief in Democracy are made by the Rom an Catholic hierarchy in the Unit ed States and demands for the pub lic support of parochial educa tion are advocated as a contribu tion to the morality essential to freedom.” For Freedom Stating that the Methodist church •lands for freedom everywhere, the committee sa;d it believes that the Roman Catholic church •hould “cease to misinform the American people by affirmations of loyalty to democratic ideals when deliberately denying demo cratic religious freedom where •ver it has power to do so. The committee criticized a re cent United States Supreme Court decision affirming constitution ality to state legislation providing for transportation of children to parochial schools, calling it “a departure from the American principal of the separation of the church and the state." It asked discontinuation of the president’s “personal representa tive to the Pope without the con sent of the representatives of the people and in violation of what an overwhelming majority of the American people believe to be in American principle.'’ Report By Bishops The Methodist National Council of Bishops represents all the denomination's churches in the United States.

Wore Weather On Pate Two Pioneer Member Shot In Hip By Colleague Dur ing Session Recess OKLAHOMA CITY, May 7—(ff) —Two pistol shots rocked the Oklahoma Senate chamber this afternoon and 64-year-old, Virgin ia-born State Senator Tom Anglin fell to the floor with a bullet wound in his hip. Minutes later State Represent ative Jimmy Scott, 35-year old Marine veteran, was taken into custody in the Senate washroom by James C. Nance, president pro tern of the Senate; Senator W. T. Gooldy and Dee Coley, the Sen ate sergeant-at-arms. Scott was disarmed and given into custody of the city police who took him to headquarters for questioning. Eye-witnesses said Anglin also was armed. There was uncertainty whether he had fired one of the shots heard. But before he left Scott told the Associated Press; “I can’t pin it down. I don’t know what was between us. We both started drawing. I don’t see how I was in his way. He drew a gun—at least 1 thought he did.” Both Democrats Both men live in Holdenville. Okla. Both are Democrats. Paul Ballinger, also of Holdenville and assistant floor leader of the House, said Anglin’s law firm was handl ing a divorce action for Scott’s wife. Anglin was given first aid by a physician Senator, Dr. Louis H. Ritzhaupt of Guthrie, and taken to University hospital not far from the capitol building in Northeast Oklahoma City. An examination disclosed a pistol bullet had enter ed Anglin’s left hip, followed the contour of the hipbone and emerg ed from the fleshy part of the up per thigh. As Anglin was helped from the chamber, he said “I knew that fellow was crazy.” Associates said the corpulent Anglin habitually carried a gun and had done so since- his early days in the Oklahoma legislature when a substantial number of the members reputedly went armed. Today he bore a 25-caliber auto matic pistol, while Scott carried a 32- caliber automatic.

Storage “Bursting” Following reports that sugar is continuing to pile up in Eastern seaboard warehouses as Cuba har vested a record crop, Peter Brown Ruffin of the Terminal Warehouse company said last night that the commodity is not piling up in local warehouses. Sugar has been stored in the warehouses here from time to time, he said, but never has there been an over-abundant supply. A small amount is stored here at present, but it definitely is not piling up, he said. The report from New York said that the record crop harvested in Cuba under favorable weather conditions was causing the refin ers there to race each other to fill the quota of imports allowed by the U. S,j sugar act of 1937. The U. S. Department of Agri culture was reported by Sugar in dustry spokesmen in New York as waiting for final figures on the Cuban crop before increasing either industrial or home sugar rations. Secretary Anderson ask ed Congress to review the quota law and possibly increase the Cu ban share. Current congestion of American warehouses, according to the re port, led one Brooklyn refinery to offer a one-day bargain price to induce ration stamp holders to buy. Enough sugar was sold quickly to make room in the re finery’s warehouses for new sugar from Cuba which had arrived in the harbor.

Judges Toss Tea Leaves To The Night; Pioneering Easy If You Have Millions --——-— i Knowledge Of Timbering Will Come In Handy Around Alaska Too BY ARTHUR EDSON Associated Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON, May 7 It’s easy to be a pioneer. You can do ii, in Alaska, right now. All you need are: (I) A knowl edge of timbering, (2) The low down on the woodpulp industry, and (3) $28,000,000. The pioneer proposition came up today at a meeting of the House Public Lands committee. It’s con sidering a proposal to open Alas ka lands to war veterans for homesteading. But those who testified today took a dim view of the bill. Frank Heintzleman, a govern ment forester and an Alaskan of 20 years, said Alaska’s basic in dustries are lumbering and fish ing. He said fishing is pretty well taken care of. But it’s his idea there are some splendid openings for the right pioneer who knows (Cootinaed ow P*f* Two; Col. 1) Along The Cape Fear Todays story will complete one of the two strangest stories told about the Cape Fear.

Street cleaners, bridge opera tors, grave diggers and many others employed by the “city”— the mile square section of London that contains the financial district, law courts, newspapers and Bill ingsgate fish market — have been on strike for several days because they objected to the promotion of a fish market policeman to ser geant.

The amendment, which would have outlawed recognition of na tional unions for bargaining pur poses, with some exceptions, was backed by Senator Taft ol Ohio, chairman of the Republi can Policy committee. Senator Wherry of Nebraska, Republican whip, had predicted its passage. But on the showdown, 16 Repub licans including several “fresh men,” bolted the party lines and lined up with 28 Democrats against the amendment. For it were 31 Republicans and 12 Democrats. The vote was preceded by a heavy drumfire of criticism from foes of the amendment, who de scribed it as a “buzz bomb” which would smash national unions. Senator Morse (R-Ore.) said the proposal would leave “only a shell of labor’s rights to collective bar gaining.” “Accomlpish Little” Senator Ives (R-N.Y.) told his colleagues that by adopting lie amendment “we can accomplish (Continued on Page Two; Col. 4) gandhTopposes INDIA PARTITION Congress Party Spiritual Leader Openly Breaks With Followers NEW DELHI. India, May 7 — (U.R) — Mohandas K. Gandhi in his first open break with the Con gress party of which he is spirtuai leader announced publicly today that he is opposed to any parti tion of India between Hindus and Moslems. Moslem leader Mohammed Ali Jinnah said in a statement to his own followers that decisions con cerning the whole of India — and presumably the partition ques tion — probably would be announc ed within a few weeks. Gandhi disassociated himself from his party’s viewpoint at his regular evening prayer meeting, which as usual was interrupted by Hindus who objected to his read ing from the Moslem Koran. Opposes Plan “The Congress has accepted Pakistan (an independent Moslem state) scheme and demanded the division of the Punjab and Ben gal. I am opposed to any division of India now. as I have always been. But what can I do? The only thing I can do is to disasso ciate myself from any such scheme. Nobody can force me to accept it except God.’’ Gandhi is consulted by the Con gress party executive an all major issues, though he is not even a dues-paying member, in his status of spiritual leader. Congress party leaders have conditionally reconciled them selves to the possibility that a separate Moslem state may be necessary. As the result, they have emphasized that they will insist on the division of the Mos lem states of Bengal and the Pun jab, if Pakistan is finally agreed on, to bring Hindu-populated ireas within the central Indian Government. NATIONAL GUARD TO HAVE NO CAMP Gen. Van B. Metts Says Strength Insufficient For Summer Training RALEIGH, May 7 — UP) —North Carolina National Guardsmen will not, have a summer encampment this year. Brig. Gen. J. Van B. Metts, state adjutant general, said today. Metts said guard strength is not sufficient to justify an encamp ment. The units already organized arc not equipped for an encamp ment which normally lasts about 15 days, the general said. Only units which have had fed eral inspection by April 15 would be eligible for the encampment , Metts said, and at that time the strength in the state was only 465 officers and men. The state has a quota of 13,000 officers and men. Since April 15, the general ex plained, recognized strength of the guard has growm to 633 in 15 units, and within the next few weeks the progress of organiza tion should boost tne total to 1, 200. The general said that he antici pated that the guard would be ready for encampment next sum mer. He has just returned from two-day conference of guara offi cials in Atlanta, Ga. He was ac companied by Col. F. M. Flits, Jr., senior guard instructor for the state, and Lt. Col. M. H. Austell, acting property and dis bursing officer. _ SCIENTIST DUNKING. PEOPLE IN WELLS AS i LATEST HEART TEST J MINNEAPOLIS, May 7—(£>)— University of Minnesota scientists ; are dunking people in a well in an attempt to determine how a fat person’s heart and veins are go ing to stand up under the strain of modem living. The water isn’t cold, however— ; it’s heated to body temperature — ; and from the dunking experiments the scientists learn how much an average cubic inch of one person weighs as well as the fat content. The experiment was started as a result of findings by Prof. Ancel Keys of the university physiolo- ; gical hygiene department when he conducted starvation diet experi ments during the war with con scientious objectors. Dr. Keys said there seemed to be a . relationship between the amount of fat in a person’s body, the amount of tension in his per sonality, and the way his heart and blood vessels reacted.

The case that carried them from the coastal area of Norfolk 400 miles to the mountainous reaches of Wise county in search of the body of 26-year-old Anne Richardson of Baltimore stopped just before its solution when the author of the story, Bradley Cas teel, 30, an ex-soldier, said to state troopers in the car with him: “I am not going to say anything until I see an attorney.” So the caravan of cars which took police and others to the section between Appalachia and Big Stone Gap on Casteel’s promise to point out the grave where he told them he buried the girl after shooting her six years ago turned back for the night. Casteel was brought to the Wise jail here to be held until he confers with Fred B. Greear, an attorney, and county authorities consider whether charges shall be placed against him. He was booked on suspicion of murder and requested the at torney to represent him. Greear said later he would talk fo Casteel In the morning about representation.

He has bowled only once — two balls rolled for the benefit of photographers. Chief user of the duckpin drives thus far has been Maj. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan, military aide, who boasts a MO average.

Summerville, Mecklenburg county coroner, today attributed the recent death of Charles H. Norman, 43-year-old Charlotte bus iness man, to drinking whisky poisoned with cyanide, which he said was believed to have been placed in the bottle intentionally. Police Chief Frank N. Littlejohn confirmed that an investigation was under way but would lay nothing about the progress made. Two city detectives are working on the case. Norman, owner ana operator ot the Carolina Scale shop at 112 E. Morehead street, died at Memori al hospital April 27 within 30 min utes after taking a drink of whisky from a bottle at his place of busi ness. The details were given tersely by Dr. Summerville, who iB a pathologist, in an indorsement on the back of the death certificate filed today with the city board ot health. “This man took a drink of whis ky, remarking at the time that it did not taste right, collapsed after about five minutes, and died a few minutes later at the hospital,” he wrote. No Findings “Autopsy revealed no significant pathological findings. Potassium cyanide used at place of business in processing metal. Always used in powdered form and never In solution. “Examination of contents of whisky bottle showed considerable cyanide. Case still under investi gation. At the present time it is believed that the cyanide was placed in the bottle intentionally.” In the official death certificate blanks, the coroner recorded the immediate cause of death as “cy anide poisoning, duration 30 min tues,” due to “drinking whisky containing cyanide.” In another space on the certifi cate, requiring additional data, the heading, "if death was due to external cause, fill in the follow ing (specify) accident, suicide, homicide,” Dr. Summerville wrote “homicide (?),” with a question mark after it.
