St. LOUIS NAN
MISSIONARY IN
TH|BET, KILLED
DR.. A. L. Shelton, Who De-
parted From Vancouver
Last August, Is Reported
Murdered By Robbers.
tnH The AssocIatcd Press. J

st. Louis, Mo-. March 4.-Dr. A.
L. Shelton, medical missionary Of
the Disciples of Christ (Christian
church) in Thibet, was murdered
by robbers near Batang. February
~, according to cablegram re-
ceived by the United Christian Mis-
sionary society here today. DR..
Shelton escaped from a brieand
camp in China in January of 1929
after having been lidnaDed and
held for ransom for sixty days.
The cablegram came from the
DR.. w. M. Hardy, also a medical
missionary in China, and read
"Robbers killed Shelton near
Batang, February II. Notify
girls"
The girls referred to are DIR.
Shelton's daughters, Dorothy, IT,
and Doris, Is, who are attending
school in Pomona. Calf.
Although Thibet has not been
open to missionaries, Dr. Shelton
departed from Vancouver last Au-
gust to open a hospital at Lhassa.
He had received a written invita-
tion from the dalai lama, the SUI
preme power of the Buddhist
church in the province, to estab-
lish the hospital, in recognition of
his work among the Thibetan SOL
diers.
The last word received from DIR.
Shelton was when he was fifteen
days journey out of Batang, which
he said he expected to reach De-
cember 23, The theory of the mis-
sionary society here is that he
reached Batang on scheduled time.
Lhassa is a 35-day trip by caravan
from Batang and it is not thought
the time between December 23
and February II was sufficient to
allow him to organize the caravan.
Consequently, it is believed he was
killed while on a side trip alone
administering to the sick.
The theory of his safe arrival in
Batang is the fact that no one else
is reported murdered. His wife
did not accompany him to Batang
but went to Calcutta to obtain
translations of the scripture in the
Thibetan tongue.
In his party were Mr.. and Mrs.
J. r. Morse and their small child
of Tulsa, Okla, and Mr.. and Mrs.
M. II. Duncan of Buffalo, who
were entering the mission field.

KAHN SUGGESTS
Commission To
HANDLE SHOALS
Proposal, However, Fails to
Receive Support of Min
ority Members of Com
mittee Handling Matter.
(By The Associated Press.J

Washington, March (by the AS
sociated Press) .-Proposa that
congress create a Muscle Shoals
commission" to adjust legal diff
culties involved in disposition Of
the governments war built prop
critics in Alabama and to direct sale
or lease of the properties to pri-
vate interest, was made today by
Chairman Kahn Of the house Mill
tary affairs committee. which has
pending before it the three offers
for the properties received by the
government.
Congress Must Decide.
Representative Fields kentucky,
ranking minority committeeman,
declared with respect to th9 Kahn
proposal that congress itself would
have to decide upon a plan to de-
velop Muscle Shoals. and it was
not a question to be solved by any
group of cabinet officers as reprh-
sentatives Of the executive branch
of the government.
In announcing his proposal for
the commission in the form OF Il
statement Chairman Kahn took
pains to have it understood that he
spoke only for himself, acting as
an individual rather than as COM
mittee chairman. He said he be-
lieved, after a three weeks careful
investigation of the offers made by
Henry Ford the Alabama Power
company and Frederick f. Eng
strum OF Wilmington, N. c.. FOR
the completion, operation, lease
and purchase Of the shoals pro-
iects, that tho suggest commits
sion offered the logical and prob
ably only practical way Of rcaching
q proper decision In the question.
Fields explained also tha. he mad
EXPRESSED his attitude on the COM
mission suggestion in a personal
way and not as a member OF the
military body.
Farmers Look to Congress.
"I would be unwilling" he said,
"to delegate that power to any
group OF cabinet officers. The
farmers of the country have long
been looking to Muscle Shoals for
the solution Of their fertilizer prob
lem. They are looking 70 congress
for that relief now acd congress
should assume the responsibility BY
deciding the question 'or itself"
The commission would be COM
posed of representatives of the wac
treasury and agricultural depart
ments, under Mr. i&ahns scheme,
and be empowered to straighten
out government tangles as to exist
ing contracts and enter into either
a sale or a lease or Il constructor
arrangement fer the future de-
velopment Of Muscle Shoals.

can people. DR.. Work said that it
was his purpose ito give substance
to his vision"

and number Of senators, repre-
sentatives and postal employees

dent, and Brigadier General Saw
yer, President Harding's physician,

regret over leaving lie cabinet is
completely and absolutely anti

suage the regret in this department
over your departure"

dered his resignation to the presi-
dent and will retire as head of the
postoffice department.
"The impression his personality
has made on the morale of the
postal employees has been unpre-
cedented and it has been altogether
for good.
'Humanizing' the service was
merely the voicing of a wish and
the kindliness which is in all of US
to some degree, responded to it. It
was the impulse of a kind heart,
an expression of that intangible
thing called the common touch
which makes the world akin and
the letter is now put in the box
and not thrown at the door,
"He will travel far but will not
become a wanderer. He may live
among the pictures but he will not
become confused, for nature has
endowed him with the intuition or
a woman, the initiative of tho in
ventor. the heart Of a wholesome
boy and the judgment of man
traits that have endeared him to
all Of us who served under him.
1t is true now as when it was
written that where there is no
vision the people perish Mr..
Hays set up now ideals for a pos
tai service. They have been APP
proved by the American people,
and as his successor in office it
will be my purpose to give sub
stance to his vision"
