Caprciolls Death Escape For Former Local Minister
BY GEORGE T. DILLON

Rev. Roger Barney, Q chaplain with the Marine Corps and former assistant at St. Johns Episcopal church here, recently has nirac- ulous delivery from the jaws o: death at Two Jima.
 He and another Episcopalian chaplain entered an abandoned Japanese gun emplacement, cut string which they found lying quite limp on the box and all in sweet innocence used for a pillow a mound of earth which later was discovered to be the largest booby trap found on Two Jima. The booby trap box contained enough picric acid to sufficiently ohliterate any, one within a radius of 12 feet, and to make uncomfortable whoever was hapless enough to be caught within a radius of 40 feet. The emplacement, which housed three corpsmen and 6 corporal. besides the two chaplaias, measured rough- ly Q by 10.

State-by-state figures were given
as between April /, 1910, and July

Conference Urged

Alexandra City Manager Car
Budwesky said yesterday he will ask
the City Council Tuesday night tc
consider plans for future parking
arrangements on King street, the
city's main business thoroughfare
According to Mr.. Budwesky, even
now when the minimum of shoppers
are using cars, King street is over
crowded and too narrow to accom-
modate bus and auto traffic and
parked cars.
He will suggest that the council
hold conference with transit COM
pany officials, representatives of the
Chamber of Commerce and Retail
Merchants Association, as we'll as OF
the buying public to determine what
steps to take.
Widening of the street would be
expensive Mr.. Budwesky said, and
would narrow the sidewalks toe
much to be practical.
Other possible solutions are re-
routing of buses or prohibiting park
ing On King street, and Mr.. Bud
wesky said he believes a conference
would bring plan that would bene-
fit the greatest number. and incon-
venience the fewest number of
persons.
The King street situation, he
said, must be dealt with as soon as
possible If the city does not wish
to have business diverted elsewhere
and if Improvements to existing
stores and construction of new ones
are to be expected after the war.
