Joint Staff Retention
Is No Surprise Here
BY the Associoted Press

President Truman's offhand dis
closure that the wartime military
collaboration of the United States

Carl Magee, Editor
Who Aided Exposure
OF Teapot Dome, Dies
By the Associated Press.


OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. Carl
Magee, veteran Southwest news
paperman who had prominent
part in exposing the Teapot Dome
oil scandal, died last night after a
short illness from heart ailment.
Mr.. Magee, 70, who in his later
years invented the parking meter,
was stormy petrol of political
journalism in New Mexico where he
once was tried on manslaughter
charges.
The trial grew out of the fatal but
accidental shooting of John B.
Lasseter, State highway employee,
struck by a bullet which Mr.. Magee
had aimed at District Judge D. j.
Leahy during a fight in a Las
Vegas IN. Mex hotel lobby.
Lost His First Paper.
Mr.. Magee first published the
Albuquerque Journal, which he lost
by foreclosure, and then a semi
weekly called Magee's Independent.
The Independent later became the
daily New Mexico State Tribune,
which Mr.. Magee sold to Scripps-
Howard. He published it until 1927
when he went to the Oklahoma
News.
He was one of the first to raise the
question of why Gilman Harry Sin
clair's special train should spend
many days on the railroad siding
near the expansive Three Rivers
IN. Mex ranch home of Albert B.
Fall, then Secretary of the Interior.
Later he testified against Fall before
the Senate committee whose in
vestigation led to his downfall and
conviction of bribery in the Teapot
Dome scandal.
Mr.. Magee first gained publicity in
the summer of 1928 in a trial for
contempt before Judge Leahy on
charges growing out of torrid edi-
torial which appeared in his paper
while he faced charges of criminal
libel IN Judge Leahy's court.
Pardoned After; First Day.
Mr.. Magee was sentenced to Jail,
but was pardoned by Gov. James F..
Hinkle after serving a night and a
day of the sentence.
The shooting episode, on August
%, 1925, grew out of this trial. Mr.
Magee, scarcely was out of Jail be-
fore he started campaign against
Judge Leahy and defeated him for
reelection.
Mr.. Magee, chairman of the State
Insane Asylum Board. had gone to
Las Vegas the day of the shooting
and was seated in the Las Vegas
Hotel lobby when the former judge
entered.
Judge Leahy strobe to the chair
where Mr.. Magee was seated, shouted
at him, and struck him, knocking
him to the floor.
Shot Fired From Floor.
From that prone position, while
kicking at his assailant, Mr.. Magee
fired three shots from his pistol. One
struck Judge Leahy in the arm.
Another went wild. One mortally
wounded Mr.. Lasseter, who was a by
stander.
Mr.. Magee was tried at Las Vegas.
The trial lasted only two days and
he went free on June 16, 1926.
Judge Luis E. Armijo, who had
defeated Judge Leahy in the cleo
ton, ruled the States evidence was
insufficient; that it failed to show
an unlawful act, and that Mr.. Magee
had acted in self-defense.
Mr.. Magee was born in Fayette,
Iowa. He was grauated from Iowa

where he practiced law until 1919,

entered the newspaper business.

 Delays Death

Boston, Aug. 16-(UP)-A mis- understanding between the prison warden and a rabbi delayed death for Raphael Skopp, Brooklyn, NY. killer bandit, for half an hour early today and resulted in the longest execution in Massachusetts history.
 The 36 year old slayer was strapped in the electric chair at 1902 A M and under ordinary circumstances would have died less than five minutes later for the S200 holdup murder of Bronislaus Pet rusWic, 53, Boston liquor store keeper, Dec. 30, 1944.
 But Rabbi Benjamin Grossman kept chanting the Jewish confess sional prayer in Hebrew, with oc- casional responses from the doom- ed man, for 29 minutes in the mis- taken belief that Warden Francis J. w. flanagan would signal him when to stop The warden thought the rabbi planned the long prayer and hence did not intervene
 Medical Examiner William J. Brickley pronounced Skopp dead 35 minutes after the prisoner sat in the chair. Six shocks. were re- quired.
 While in the death house Skopp had expressed the hope that his life would be spared so he could continue following the fortunes of the Brooklyn Dodgers, whom he picked as likely pennant winners.

pr. r.McDonoId Paid ribute
By THE OUT EASTER

I knew Dr. Arthur P. Mcdonald of lo8 East Main Street, who was buried last week. knew him be- cause he was member of one of the best known families, whose home continued along for so many years in the same location, namely, the corner of East Main and School Streets.
 Few of the many students of the high schools about the neighbor- hood in the years gone by failed to remember the stately brick McDon- aid home, with it's cozy long porch in front of the family portion of the building. and the smaller porch to the west leading to the office, first of Arthur's distinguished father. the late Dr. E. w. Mcdonald and after his death taken over by Dr. Arthur himself
 The McDonald home, of course, was built by the senior Dr. McDon- aid, recognized in his day among the leading physicians and surgeons of the city. Along with the late and highly thought-of Dr. John F. Hayes, pr. McDonaid's practice probably reached into nearly every Catholic household in Waterbury. And just like Dr. Hayes, pr. Me Donald, would enter the home quietly tip-toe to the sick room, and speak softly and gently to the patient. Their conversation was al- most a whisper, recognizing as they always did, the secrecy of the in- formation imparted by the sick per- son to the attending physician.
 Aided Father
 Dr. Arthur Mcdonald attended medical school and after graduation assisted his father, whose know ledge of medicine and surgery aid- ed the son greatly. both in advance and after being admitted into the profession.
 In his young days, Dr. Arthur was hardly ever seen in the summer time, without tennis racquet under his arm. He was among the first on the Hamilton Park courts and played hundreds of games with the tennis players liv- ing in and about those public grounds. His service was almost perfect, but not as a rule, of the swift and fast ball that fellows like Leaman Harvey generally sent over to his opponent. Arthur's, on the contrary, was slow, but curyy and in most of the time. It was this kind of action on Arthur's part that made him the winner so often.
 Dr. Arthur Mcdonald had many of the fine traits of his good father before him. In conversation, he talked like him, and there was that | carefulness of speech and words so noticeable to many in the company of professional men present only | for the purpose of hearing and ob- serving. A loud mouthed person, you know, is never forgotten by those who hear him.
 had no idea of Dr. McDonald's sickness. His death therefore was a among the many who cherished and appreciated his con- Dany from old school days. The doctor was cordial person and his nand-shake was warm and vel come.
 Another fine person, and certain y one good brother is added to ,he list of the large number of | deaths among good people in Wa ,erbury during the past few months. |

 Czarkstown, w. Y, Farm

Clarkstown, N. Y, Aug. 15-CUP) Autumn van Den Heuvel, a truck farmer whose life up to last Friday had been as simple and quiet as a TOW Of cabbages, said today he wished he was dead" Dead and buried" he said.
 He said he would like the word to be passed around as far away as Florida that he has nothing to give away.
 Last Thursday, a story circulated that Van Den Hevel had acres of golden bantam corn and fields of clderberries and huckleberries that could be had for the picking. He said he had no idea how the story got started.
 Startled by Radio
 Friday morning, he began to have visitors, asking where the corn was, he said.
 Then a neighbor phoned and asked if I were giving the farm away" he said We turned on the radio and heard a gent urging folks to come out to our place for free food We called the local paper and told them We didn't have any thing to give away.
 Friday was bad, but Saturday was just brass-bound hell, 1000 autoists drove Up our lane, turned in our yard and drove away again, hauling the dangest bunch ornery, angry people I ever saw.
 Cars came from New York, from Bayonne, from Jersey City, even Philadelphia Guys would get out, look me in the eye and say: Quit stalling. Where's it at?'
 Compared to Grasshoppers
 We sent the kids upstairs for fear someone would run of with them. Those folks went every- where like grasshopper. My wife went into the kitchen and found them fooling around there. I turn ed my back for couple of min- utes and found a carload of gyp- sies from Florida swarming up into my Rome Beauty apple tree. I should of shot them"
 While the influx was at its peak, two ClarkStoWn policemen, two deputy sheriffs and a state trooper Wrestled with traffic for more than eight hours on roads to the farm
 Sunday was only mite easier" " he said. T got up before sunup and strung a heavy log chain across the entrance to my lane.
 It turned the folks away into my neighbors' farms. They had to get out their shot guns and shoo them away. I thought We were get ting out from the worst of it when | 800 soldiers from West Point drove up. They just came down to get some free trimmings for their mess. I wish was dead"
