Canadian Trucks Haul Duty-Free Merchandise

WASHINGTON, P)-The state department notified Senator Mag nuson D.-WashD today that Ca nadian truckers hauling merchan- disc from Canadian territory to customs ports in Alaska will not be subject to duty on the trucks.
 The question arose in Alaska when Canada permitted American trucks to haul merchandise in bond over the Alaska Highway.
 Foreign trucks hauling mer- chandise between two points in the United States would be sub ject to duty on the trucks, the Sen ator was told.
 The department said that while under customs laws trucks hauling merchandise from Canada to points in Alaska would not have to pay duty, they could not pick up merchandise in Alaska on the return trip even if the point of or igin was in their line Of travel.

A.S.N.E. Head Praises Russio's s Aid for Press

New York, Aug. 2 - (UP) Rus sia's agreement to full publicity at the Paris peace conference may be major development in the Amer ican campaign for world freedom of information, according to Wilbur Forrest, president of the American Society of Newspaper Editors.
 Even more important was Soviet Foreign Minister Viacheslav M. Molotov's complaint that the world press had misinterpreted Russia and therefore to assure accurate information and prevent misunder- standing full publicity must be had" said Forrest, who is assistant editor of the New York Herald Tribune.
 The objective of the world cam- paign now being carried on by the American Society of Newspaper Edi- tors is the urgent need for free dom of news between nations and peoples to avoid the misunderstand- ings of which MT. Molotov con- plains at Paris" Forrest said. If he is convinced that Russia should adopt policy of dealing in the open this conviction is of vast import ance because Russia up to the pres ent has been regarded as the major stumbling block in the way of some international plan for free exchange of world information"

He said it was being driven by his step-son who was AWOL from the New Jersey Army camp.
 Taken Prior to Disappearance
 Police said they understood it actually was taken sometime Sat- urday-prior to the disappearance of Miss McGurk from the dance pavilion here which is about 35 or 40 miles from Newport. The officers wife allegedly admit ted that her son was in the car and that on Saturday was with an- other youth. She was quoted as say- ing she met her sons companion and that his name was Prank.
 Even as police received a report that the missing" car with two youths in it was seen in Onset. po- lice at Palmer, Mass, reported that registration plate from the New port officers automobile had been picked up there. Palmer is fully 150 miles from Onset but police said it might have remained in street there for day or two before being picked up.
 Though the A.WO.L. soldiers mother said he couldn't have been connected with the McGurk case because he now was back in camp. authorities at Camp Kilmer said this morning that he still was miss ing
 Carver Man Released
 Two suspects yesterday and last night were released after question ing. One was Carver man who was arrested for drunken driving late Saturday night-several hours after the Cambridge girl was killed
 The other was man named Frank who was picked up in Taunton and taken to Wareham, the township of which Onset is a village
 Reconstructing the crime, police said Miss McGurk left the dance hall with her slayer during an in- termission-apparently to get an ice cream soda She had arrived only that afternoon for weeks vacation and told her girl friends if she failed to return to wait up at their rooming house until she got back.
 From the dance hall the girl and her murderer drove about eight miles along the main highway that leads between Boston and Cape Cod They turned of a side road and drove about mile to the edge of the cranberry bog reservoir.
 It was here, police believe, the attack occurred. She was beaten, ravished and strangled. Then her body was cast into the shallow pond that lies close to the road. Her under clothing was torn and some of it was missing. When found, her body was shoeless but her dress and slip were around her head. It was floating about l5 feet from shore. Still on her finger was a diamond engagement ring given her by a navy cook now on a ship in the atom bomb fleet at Bikini.

 He reported that Wall Streeters, rarely. pushed their tips up beyond 10 percent.
 Dime Or Nickel
 Fred Scafidi, another barber, in- terrupted Dente.
 But those Southerners, he said. Those guys. Why it's a dime, or even a nickel-if they tip at all

Barbers Complain
BY ROBERT RICHARDS

New York, Aug. 2-(UP)-Man- hattan barbers made it plain today that southern gentlemen get in their hair And they can't cure the trouble with any sweet-smelling tonic.
 Those guys love a nickel like it was a woman" Joseph Dente said. T guess they figure if they squeeze long enough, it'll grow into two bit piece
 Dark-eyed Dente. along with seV- eral other barbers, appeared before a New York state board which is attempting to estimate just how much barber averages annually in tips.
 Willing To Set 15 Percent
 The state is willing to settle on a figure amounting to l5 percent of the barber's cash salary. Most of the barbers naturally want it held at it's present 10 percent.
 Else what would happen to the guys who handle only SouthernerS?" Dente asked. &...

 17- Year-Old Soldier Sought in Staying OF Cape Vacationist

Onset, Mass. Aug. 2 (UP) - A l7-year-old Newport, R. l., soldier now A.W.O.L. from Camp. Kilmer, N. J., was being sought today as state police intensified their hunt for the dancing slayer who raped and strangled red-haired Ruth Mo- Gurk before hurling her body into shallow Carver pond.
 Whether the baby-faced soldier was the actual slayer, party to the crime or an unwilling companion of the 25-year-old Cambridge girls murderer, police were unprepared to state.
 However, at 6:30 A. M. today Dis trict Attorney Edmund R. Dewing announced that all suspects had

been released and that the car in which Miss McGurk rode to her death from dance hall here Sat- urday night had not been found.
 Scene Shifts
 The search shifted to Newport and the Camp Kilmer suspect after police received information that man somewhat answering the des- cription of the girls last known companion was seen riding in an automobile at Onset only few hours after her body was discovered in Gibbs Pond.
 When last seen, Miss McGurk was leaving the Colonial Casino during an intermission with a man she identified as s"Frank" to two girl friends with whom she had come here for a vacation
 From the description of the sedan-type car police traced 1t to Newport and it's owner was found to be U. S.. naval commander.
 The officer reported Tuesday that his car had been "misappropriated." |"

charge that Bilbo violated the Con-

from voting in the primary. Which
Is where the emphasis should be.
II the case is made and Bilbo is

northern Negro votes they won
away from the Democrats this year.
Merely barring a blatherskite be-
cause he is blatherskite would
serve no greater purpose than a
slight publication of the Senate
atmosphere. The Republicans would
be entitled to little reward from the
Negroes the next time they go to
the polls.
Only the Beginning.
But the barring of Bilbo even on
constitutional grounds; can only be
the beginning If the Republicans
seriously intend to take back and
keep the Negro vote. They must face
in earnest the issues presented by
antipoll tax legislation, antilynch-
ing legislation and acknowledgements

not done thus far.

Bilbois colleague from Mississippi,

offered them the supreme insult,
the indictment of their whole race as
soldiers, declaring in a Senate
speech that numerous high-rank-
ing generals" had told him the
Negroes .'had no initiative, no sense
OF responsibility, very low intelli-
gence and were failure" He did
not name the generals, but this allie
cation was repudiated by Gen.
Eisenhower and other Army leaders
over their own signatures.)
Know the Method.
Despite the Eastiand estimate of
their intelligence, the Negroes do
know the method that has been used
to defeat their demands for Justice
at the hands of Congress. Their
leaders have failed again and again

against Southern filibusterers. That
