son streams. The unnatural expan,
sion of his nostrils showed the be-
ginning of exhaustion.
Again, as If animated by a single
will, the stations charged each 9TH
er with heads high and. stiff, lifted
tails. Meeting, rising, swerving,
sinking with indescribable coiling
grace-not one motion lost-they
turned their heads sideways with
barred reaching teeth and thrust
them forward and under to seize
the foreleg.
Each blocked this maneuver clev-
erly; they braced themselves against
each other with locked, straining
necks, and swung back first one and
then the other foreleg out of reach
of the darling, snake-like heads. But
Thunderhead was as quick as a rat
tier. His muzzle thrust in and caught
the lower leg Of the Albino before
he could withdraw it and fractured
the bone with a single twisting
crunch Of the jaws.
The Albino gave no sign. The mo-
ment Thunderhead loosed his hold,
the older horse rose to his full
height. One foreleg dangled useless,
but he still had that mighty right
hoof with which he had nearly killed
the colt two years ago. The same
blow would do it now.
Thunderhead too was on his hind
legs, feinting as if to strike. But he
saw the blow coming. In mid-air
he whirled, dropped his head and
dashed out with his heels.
AS the Albino came down with
his killing stroke, his face received
the full impact Of those terrible
hoofs, and both cheeks were ripped
up so that the skeleton of his head
was barred.
The Albino's one good foreleg hit
the earth with q crashing jar.
Thrown off balance by failure to
land his blow, and the murderous
kick, he sank to his knees. Before
he could recover Thunderhead had
spun around. His right hoof shot out
in one paving stroke which crushed
the bony structure of the old stall
lions head and sliced off the lower
part Of his face.
Blood spouted from the fatal
wound, mingled with the choking
and bubbling breath. The Albino' s
eyes closed and his body sank into
the earth, his head moving slowly
from side to side in agony.
Thunderhead stood over him. The
Albino's eyes opened once and

tation Of himself into the shining

He rushed forward. One will
seemed to animate them both, for
Thunderhead charged too, each
flinging barred teeth at the others
back in passing.
The Albino drew first biood. A
red stain sprung out on Thunder
heads withers and spread slowly
down his shoulder.
AS they passed, they whirled and
reared to strike at each other with
their front hoofs, reaching over the
neck to land body blows that re-
sounded like great bass drums.
Short snarling grunts were Jared
from them.
The Albino reached under and
seized Thunderhead's throat, trying
to pull back and tear out the jugular
vein. But Thunderhead locked his
forelegs around the Albino's neck
and pressed close into those grind
ing jaws.
The horses staggered like Wres-
tiers, Thunderhead forcing the AL
bino backwards. Then he loosed the
grip of his forelegs and began to
use them for attack, failing with
his hoofs on the back of the Albino,
raking the flesh from the bones and
striving to land a Gripping blow on
the kidneys.
For an instant the massive jaws
crunching down on Thunderhead's
jugular vein relaxed, he tore loose,
both horses wheeled, plunged away,
then whirled to eye each other again
and to get their wind and their bal
ance for the next charge.
There was a jagged bleeding cash
in Thunderhead's throat. The AL
bino was laced with pulsing Grim

Boy, 8, C|awed 10 Death
By Bear; Woman Bitten

BY lne ASSOc1ated Press.
SEATTLE, Sept. 11.-Eight-year-
old Richard Strand died in a Seattle
hospital last night five hours after
he was viciously torn and chewed
by the 16-month-old, 225-pound pet
Russian grizzly bear of a neighbor.
The bear also bit Mrs. Vera Quinn
on the leg as she tried to pull
Richard to safety while the owner,
Earl Cofrin, and another man
pulled at the chain which held the
bear. Mrs. Quinn was in hospital.
The victims parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Harold Strand, have two
younger children. Mr.. Strand said
his first reaction was to shoot the
bear. He said he complained about
the animal to authorities a week
ago.
Mr.. Coffrin said he would give
the bear, presented to him year
ago by Russian ship captain, to
the ZOO. Authorities temporarily
quartered him there after he was
ordered confiscated.
II don't trust him now-he'S
mean," Mr.. Coffrin said. "All the
kids played with him. They'd get
him running then climb up on
the little house. People worried
about the bear getting mean, but
I always said we'd know before he
turned mean. We didn't.

Optional Plan Offered
By Ki|gore in Move
To Save JobIess Bill
Uniform National Period
For Payments Is Bosis;
Up to Committee Today
By ]. A. O'LEARY.

Senator Kilgore, Democrat, of
West Virginia today sought to
save from defeat the admins
tration's maximum unemploy-
ment compensation plan of S25
for 26 weeks by offering the
higher weekly benefit rates to
the States on an optional basis.
If his last-minute suggestion
should be accepted when the Senate
Finance Committee meets at 3 pm.
today, here is how it would work:
The 16 States which hold that
they could accept Federal funds to
bring their weekly State allotments
up to the s25 maximum for 26 weeks.
would get the full benefit of the
original Kilgore bill.
Assures Uniform Period.
The "a States whose officials have
reported their laws throw legal
doubt on their right to take outside
funds to increase weekly rates. would
continue to pay the State rate for
the number of weeks fixed by State
law. When the duration of State
payments had expired, Senator Kill
gore would accept modified version
of the Vandenberg substitute, by
having the Government continue to
pay the State benefit rate up to 26
weeks.
The effect of the Kilgore substi-
tute would be to assure uniform
duration of 26 weeks throughout the
country, but it would be up to each
State to adhere to its present weekly
rate of payment, or accept the Fed
eral aid up to the s25 maximum.
Meanwhile, Senate Banking Sub
committee headed by Senator Wag-
ner, Democrat, of New York is
meeting today to decide on how fa1
they feel the Government should
go in assuming responsibility to "as-
sure" jobs for all citizens, and in
promising Federal spending to carry
out that assurance.

of Ohio had put the Vandenberg
alternative in definite form by pro-
posing that the Government meet

Premier Hideki TOTO as saying
after he shot himself:
Il am sorry for the peoples

shoulder the whole responsible
ity. I hope they will not go
amiss in dealing with the situ-
alton. The war of Greater East
Asia was a just war. With all
our strength gone, we finally
fell. I did not want to stand
before the victor to be tried as
the vanquished. This is my
own case. I wanted to kill my
self at one stroke. I first
thought of using my sword to
kill myself, but instead I used
the revolver for fear I might
fail and revive"

All types of cheese will be re-
duced to zero point values, effec-
tive at midnight tonight, as the

TOKYO, Sept. 11.-Gen. Hideki
TOTO, japanese instigator of the
Pearl Harbor attack that plunged
America into history's greatest
war, shot himself today in a
bungling suicide attempt.
American Army doctors quickly
and unquestioningly drained Ameri-
can blood plasma into his veins and
announced that it gave them So
so chance to save the life of the
bald, brown little former Premier
who had sought pitilessly to de-
stroy the western world.
Mumbling in japanese while jap
anese reporters eagerly clung to his
every thick -tongued word, the 61-
year-old TOTO said he felt sorry"
for the Asiatic people and preferred
to die rather than face trial as
war criminal-a trial which had not
even been ordered.
Elaborate Suicide Plans.
TOTO planned his suicide elab-
orately, with two automatic pistols
and a pair of hara -kiri ceremonial
knives wrapped in spotless cloth, but
like his bid for world dominion, he
fumbled the job.
He shot himself near the heart
with one of the pistols as American
counterintelligence officers, accom-
panied by correspondents, arrived
at his suburban home to take him
to Gen. MacArthurS headquarters
for questioning.
Gen. MacArthur's orders had fol-
lowed an interview which TOTO gave
only yesterday to Associated Press
Correspondents Murlin Spencer and
Russell Brines, in which the little
razor brain"-as his own people
called him-had parried adroitly
questions about the war in which he
gambled and lost the Japanese
empire.
Given Pint of Plasma.
A Japanese doctor. who was called
promptly, said that TOTO was dying
that nothing would save his life.
Then two American doctors were
summoned, promptly gave him
pint of American blood plasma,
which he mumbled he did not want.

Byrnes Declares
U. S. Is Expected to Ask
That Rome Keep Colonies;
Won't Discuss Atom Bomb
B. the Associated Pless.

LONDON. Sept. 1l.-Secretary
of State James F. Byrnes told
press conference today that Italy
would be the first topic for the
conference of foreign ministers
of five Allied nations meeting
this afternoon and that the atom
bomb was not on the agenda.
The Foreign Secretaries of Russia,
Great Britain, France and China
are here with Mr.. Byrnes, starting
peace machinery provided by the
Potsdam Conference
, 1t was understood that the United
/ States would ask that the bulk of
Italy's colonies be left under italian
control as trusteeships, with United
Nations supervision.
1t is expected that the Dodecanese

go to Greece. At the narrows of

base. A strip of Italian Eritrea will
be claimed by Ethiopia.
The British are expected to ask
that a strip of Eastern Cyrenaica,
Libya, be taken from Italy and
placed either under international
or Egyptian rule. The territory is
inhabited by the Senussi tribe of
Arabs, whom the British have
promised freedom from Italian rule.
Confers With Ernest Bevin.
Mr.. Byrnes said he expected to
remain in London two weeks and
then commute between here and
Washington. He talked with British
Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin early
today.
i Mr.. Byrnes said the future of Ger
many was not on the agenda for the
meeting of foreign ministers, as
drawn up at Potsdam. The Amer
ican said the main task of the for
eign ministers is to reconcile various
points of view.
/ Urgent questions were before Mr..
Byrnes, Mr.. Bevin, Frances Georges
Bidault, the Soviet Unions Vyaches-
Law M. Molotov apd China's Wang
Shih- chieh.
/ As the meeting opened diplomats
here expressed fear that unrest In
Greece might touch off general
strike there and add to the formi-
dable list OF knotty questions facing
the Foreign Ministers. This situa-
tion was considered especially Sc
rious since it comes precisely at the
time Regent Archbishop Damaskinos
is in London intent on placing his
country's views before the Foreign
u Ministers. The Grek attitude on
the forthcoming Italian peace treaty
is important, since the treaty is the
first subject on the agenda of the
meeting.
