sons jammed the streets surrounding

let's that killed the four sniper VIC
Tins. The slugs were recovered from
the tree and from the bodies of the
slain men.
More direct testimony came from
Mildred Washington Mechanics
sweetheart who was with the youth
when he was killed. She identified
Eklund.
Eklund Denies Charge.
Eklund took the stand and de-
MED the charge. He denied also
that he had engaged in target prac-
tice near the airport. His mother
testified that he was at home the
night of last October IS when Nc
elaine was slain.
The defense stressed lack of mo-
tive for the killing of McClaine and
the other victims of the sniper. The
only evidence along this line, which
the Government produced, was tes-
timony that while Eklund was serv-
ing a sentence in the Indiana State
Reformatory for burglary and lar
Ceny, he had trouble with a colored
prisoner and at various times had
expressed hatred against all mem
bers of the race.
Percy McKinnie, who was wound
ed three times by the sniper in
September. testified for the defense
that he was positive Eklund was not
the man who shot him. McKinnie
described his assailant as a colored
man.
Gun Never Found.
The arrest of Eklund followed in
formation reaching a detective that
the youth had carried clippings of
the sniper killings and had con-
hded while drinking that he might"
be the Sniper and that he had car
ried a gun of the caliber used in
the murders. The gun never was
found
Over a period of two months the
activities Of the Sniper baff1ed
large number of police assigned to
track him down. Four men were
killed and two others wounded. In
variably the sniper attacked men
who were escorting women and all
his victims we're shot in the back.
Eklund, charged with the mur-
der of McClaine, also was indicted
for the deaths of two other victims,
Theodore I. Goffney and Sam Banks.

ion that only a majority of those
voting was needed TO pass it.
The final vote showed 28,25e for

, CHICAGO, June 7.-Members OF
the American Federation of Teach
ers, it was announced last night,
have voted to revoke the charters
OF two New York and one Phila-
delphia local OF the Federation,
but officials of the ousted New York
locals plan to bring the matter be-
fore the organizations convention
In August.
Irwin r. Kuenzli, federation sec
retary-treasurer, said the expulsion
of New York Local 5, the second
largest in the federation, and Local
537, college teachers, and Phila-
delphia Local 1872, was favored by
approximately 80 per cent of To-
Gals in the country, excluding the
three ousted locals. He said the
three locals had a total member
ship of 1000 of the estimated 40
900 teachers in the organization
The vote followed a recommen-
dation by the federation's execu-
tive council for revocation of the
charters, Mr.. Kuenzli said, because
the three locals had engaged in
certain organized tactics and prac-
tees inimical to democracy" and
had consistently followed the
Communist party line in all of its
somersaults and flipfops."
Officials of the two ousted New
York locals said the expulsions
would be brought before the fed
eration's convention and they were
convinced that progressive teacher
unioniSts throughout the country
will join us in seeing that we do
stay in" Mr.. KuenZli said nearly
all of New York City's teachers
were affected by the custer vote.

Navy Soon May Call
On Draft for Men
For Auxiliary Duty
All Worships Manned,
But Converted Craft
And Bases Need Crews
Ey the Associated Press.

ny the Associated Press.
The selective service system which
thus far has been supplying men
only for military service may be
called on soon to help the Navy
man its fast-growing feet of aux
lliary vessels and its numerous new
shore bases.
P Crsons familiar with the Navy's
current manpower needs said sea
service aboard converted merchant
craft as we'll as at naval establish
ments ashore was a probable as
signment for some selectees of the
future. Warships, however, gen.
orally have full compliments and
service for trainees aboard these
craft was not considered likely.
Only a limited number of men
would be taken through the selec-
tive service system, it was said.
Less than two months ago Secre-
tary Knox asserted it would be
futile" for the Navy to use men
available for but one year. He
declared the full six years of
voluntary enlistment was needed
for the training and experience to
turn out a capable sailor.
All Reserves on Duty.
In the meantime the accelerated
pace of defense preparations has
upset calculations. Numerous mer-
chant ships have been added to the
auxiliary fleet along with ocean,
going vessels of the Coast Guard
and work on shore bases has been
rushed.
Available organized ReserviSts
have been called to active duty;
many Coast Guardsmen have been
assigned to the transport feet and
recruiting of Reservists subject to
active duty only for the duration
of the emergency has been intensi-
fed.
Meanwhile volunteer enlistments
have continued at an average rate
of 1000 to 1900 a week The per-
centage of e-enlistmentS has de-
clined in recent months because of
the attractions of civilian defense
jobs.
Marines Get Volunteers.
Whether the Marine Corps like
wise was considering using drafted
men was undisclosed. Mr.. Knox
said there had been AN abundance
of volunteers" for the marines, but
added that objections to the one
year limit of service applied in a
lesser degree in this branch of the
service.
Only rs per cent of Navy men
have been re-enlisting the last few
months, compared with 81 per cent
last year, Congress was told re-
Gently. Some who return to civil
life are subject to the draft, how
ever, and presumably would be a~
signed to sea duty if called out.
Counting reservists on active duty,
the Navy already has grown to about
half the $4,000 men estimated to
be required for the two-ocean feet
now building
On the rolls now are approx
mately 236O00 enlisted men and
$4,000 officers. The marines on
June numbered 3,l81 officers and
1882 men.
