Sheriff Backs
Berry. Aides

OLYMPIA Branding the Baker
Berry case a miscarriage OF just
ice" Sheriff L. c. Huntsmer today
said he asked the state parole
board to ask Gov. Clarence d.
Martin to pardon all four men
now serving life terms for kidnap-
ing and assaulting Irving Baker.
Last week Prosecutor Smith
Troy recommended leniency for
Robert Smith. William McAIoon
and James Reddiek. but recon-
mended to the parole board that
DR.. Kent w. Berry be kept in
prison TO protect society.
Hnntamer's office and Troy have
been at outs over the kidnapping
case for months, a fact which
brought criticism from the recent
Thurston county grand jury. Hun
tanner made his recommendation
voluntarily to the parole board.
Troy Is required by law 10 make
a report 10 the board on the case.
Huntamer told the board he be-
lieved the four men were not GRIM
inals, and had been punished suf-
ficiently for their crimes. They
spent IA months in county Jail
here before being sent to prison
and reformatory.

TACOMANS noted with
great satisfaction today
the laying of the keel for the
first of the ten million dollars
worth of ships which the Sc
attle-Tacoma Shipbuilding Co.
will build for the federal gov
eminent on the old Todd ship
yard site. Hopes for revival
of steel shipbuilding have
been held ever since the first
World war over 20 years ago.
Similar hopes were held for
the eventual construction of
the Narrows bridge. Also, de-
velopment of McChord field
as the Northwest army air.
base. And again, expansion of
Fort Lewis. Now, all those
hopes have ripened into full
blossom. 1t is something for
the community to boast about,
something to be proud over.
There is one discordant
note in the shipyard setup,
however, that gripes many.
That is the inability of Taco
ma men to get employment at
the yards. Take a look any
day at the autos lined up out
side the gate and one will see
hardly anything but "A" IL
censes, indicating King coun-
ty auto registrations. That
means Seattle men have most
of the jobs. The peculiar
setup, with hiring all done
through the unions whose
headquarters are in Seattle,
is responsible. That is the
explanation of shipyard Of
ficials. However, that doesn't
satisfy Job-hungry Tacomans.
II is TO be hoped the situa-
ton can be changed when the
yard gets going full speed
ahead.

of three branches of government
were made Tuesday night by d. ].
Rhind, Tacoma, vice president of

elect representatives in that state
who did not agree with him :.
I'VE have seen the judicial
branch violated by the tried and
unsuccessful packing of the SUI

For an executive Of the United
