War Vets IL Billion

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 -tP)-
The 10Th Congress provided $l2.-
500, 802, 005 for war veterans, or
nearly 1000 for every soldier dis
charged since We Day.
Almost a third of this was in
cluded in a batch of bills that
reached Pre- sident Truman in the
closing days Of the Congress,
which he signed today, yesterday
and Friday.
Largest single item was the
$2,431, 708 to pay for the Terminal
Pay bill.
World War II veterans received
by far the greatest share of the
cash and other benefits but some
money went to veterans OF other
wars.
As the bills were being signed,
Gen. Omar N. Bradley, veterans
administrator, said America, in
dollars and cents, has provided for
it's war veterans more generously
than any other nation.

H. La Guardia was greeted al

feet the whole relief program tor
Chechoslovakia.
It was hot when the ..welcom-
ing delegation thrust the stein into
his hands, and La Guardia smack
ed his lips appreciatively as he en-
joyed the first few sips. Sudden
ly he stopped slipping.
The more he thought about it
all, the more he became exercised
over the appearance of beer in a
country urgently needing grain for
food. An UNRRA publicity release
quoted him as saying at head
quarters:
This country has been making
a great recovery, I don't think
they'll need any more grain when
the Director General is met at the
airport with a glass of beer. Who
ever planned that made a great
mistake. Our people at home are
ticklish about this point. I have
more complaints about it than any
other mattei."
A Spokesman at UNRRA head
quarters said La Guardia appear
ed determined ito institute a re-
survey of Czechoslovak grain
needs, with the likelihood that sup
plies will be reduced"
From the Czechoslovak point Of
view, La Guardia's display Of
shocked surprise was not wholly
warranted.
There isn't much beer" pro-
tested one Czech, land moreover
it is regarded as part of the diet
rather than an alcoholic drink"
La Guardia, upon his arrival
from Geneva, was met by DR..
Jaromir Dolansky, Communist
Minister of Finance. The UNRRA
director expressed delight to be
in a republic which was working
hard and in which UNRRA aic
has been effective.

Dead After Being Found
With S~alesman's Wife
BY JOHN r. HIGGINS

CHICAGO, Aug. 10-WH-A mild
hammered husband told a jury to-
day that he knocked on the door
of a hotel room, found his wife in
the nude and killed his best friend
in self defense.
The husband, Donald Murray,
stout, 41-year-old salesman, testi-
fled in his own defense at his trial
for the murder of his friend since
boyhood, Maj. john Fletcher of the
Canadian Army.
After hearing Murray's story,
Judge julius H. Miner abruptly
adorned the case until Monday
and ordered the wife, comely
brunette Mrs. Doris Murray, 36, to
tell her story of the Staying.
Mrs. Murray had offered to
testify in her husbands defense
because II want to do everything
l can to save him." Bat Murray,
who has refused to see her and
has ripped up her many letters,
had objected.
"There are only two living wit
n~esses," Judge Miner said. They
are Donald and Doris Murray ]
want to hear her testimony"
1t was the night of May 27 that
Murray, unable to find his wife
either at her office or at their
home, began a search of down
town hotels. He found Fletcher,
who had been a house guest of the
Murray's the previous weekend,
registered in room 841 of the Nor
rison hotel.
He went upstairs, he said, and
listened at the door.
81 heard Jacks voice, very loud,
and a woman's voice I thought was
my wife's," Murray testified. 81
knocked on the door. There was
a dead silence"
After he had threatened to call
house detectives, Murray said,
Fletcher opened the door. He was
wearing only a bathrobe, Murray
testified.
He said Fletcher denied that
Mrs. Murray was in the bathroom.
Jack said I have a woman in
here but she's not your wife. I'm
not going to have you embarrass
her. Now get OUT Murray tes-
titled.
Story of Shooting

do I'll fix YOU He swung at me
VITA a small chair he had picked

hit me. He raised the chair again.
I reached in my pocket for my
gun. Just then the bathroom door
opened and my wife stood there
naked.
Jack said comething like I'll fiz

labor. And labor is enjoined

bread upon the waters and it
shall be granted after many
days" The farmer scatters seed
and tends the ground, looking
for the harvest. 1t is the same
