CINCINNATI, Oct. 31.-John J.
Enderle. ~, whose former wife was
one of three witnesses to a murder
suicide Wednesday night, shot to
death taxi driver last night with
out apparent reason and then killed
himself, Night Police Chief George
Pearcy reported.
The taxi driver was identified
from his license as Max Wilson, As
of Covington, KY.
Mrs. Viola Enderle, 20, was walk
ing with Mrs. Mary Jung "a hours
earlier when her husband, Jacob
Jung, shot his estranged wife to
death and then killed himself, the
night police chief said.
Chief Pearcy said this account of
tonight's shooting was given officers
by Chester Gates, who said he ac-
companied Enderle to nearby New
port, KY. earlier in the evening:
They had several drinks in New
port and returned to Cincinnati in
the taxi. The taxi driver waited
at the curb while Enderle entered
his home for money to pay the fare
He was gone only a minute OF
so. When he came downstairs he
was carrying gun. He didn't say
anything. He raised the gun ano

Senator Wilson Hits
Barring Of Report on
China 10 Congress
BY the A,soeioted Press

Senator Wilson, Republican, of
Iowa declared today that State De-
partment refusal to let members of
Congress see the confidential Wede-
meyer report on China is a sign that
1--WE are heading toward totalitarian
government"
Senator Wilson, member of the
Armed Services Committee, said the
suppression Of the report "looks to
me like nothing but decision of
the military to carry over the cur
tain of secrecy established in war
time"
The findings of It. Gen. Albert G.
Wedemeyer were set down after a
survey of conditions in China as
President Truman's personal repre-
sentative.
Explaining the decision not to
make the report public at this time,
the State Department said it might
be harmful to the interests Of the
United States, China and other ma
tions.
Senator Wilson told a reporter he
nevertheless asked to see the docu-
ment, and that Undersecretary. of
State Lovett replied in letter that
it has, under instruction, been con-
fined to few members of the cabi-
met"
Senator Wilson commented:
when the peoples representatives
and the people themselves are denied
vital information, we are heading
toward totalitarian government"
He added:
"If I saw it I might agree with
them that it should be withheld from
the public. But I want to know
its contents and, as representative
of the people, make my own judg-
ment.
After all, who are they to say
whether this information should be
confidential or not?
without such information, I
don't see had the administration
can expect the legislative branch
to operate properly, or why it could
complain if Congress does not act"

Some of the most interesting
newspaper yarns have been in
spired by newsboys who nailed the
hides of competitors to their type
writer's. Occasionally, the conflicts
went from word Singing to bare
knuckle stuff. When James Cor
dor. Bennett spanked the free
swinging style of journalism, the
crafts rough and tumble era
reached it's peak. . The fabulous
Bennett often engaged in f~isticuffs
with rivals and made no secret
of the battles. As soon as the
smuggling ended he would rush into
print with a standard headline:
Bennett Thrashed Again."

(and the attempts to prevent COM

"Maginot Line" Attitude

Are too many Americans letting their
confidence and admiration of science,
certainly through no desire or fault
of it's own, hull them into a "Maginot
line" attitude toward the problems of
national defense?
Secretary of War Patterson, writing
in the current issue of the Saturday
Evening Post, indicates fear of such a
situation.
"Perhaps the most popular and GER
tainly the most misinformed argument
against (the universal military training
plan) is that war, in this atomic age,
will be decided by a few technicians
pushing buttons. This is strictly a
vision of the cocktail-party scientist.
You will find no such opinion among
the top scientists and military men who
developed the atomic bomb"
Few ideas are more dangerous than
the one that the atomic bomb, the best
example of our scientific headstart in
war weapons, will keep this country
safe from the remainder of the world.
1t will not.
But a real national defense program,
based on a sound Regular army, Ma
tional Guard, Reserve and universal
military training, will. Unless the
American people see that it is effected:
their country will eventually become
a bright attraction to a stronger one
with dreams of world domination.
If, on the other hand, the United
States maintains a respectable military
strength, chances of attack are slight,
Peace lies in our fighting might

What's The Pitch?

We were astonished and a little
disappointed at the lack of attention
the experts paid to the political symbol
ism Of President Truman's performance
at the opening of the baseball season
in Washington.
Last year, when he and the left (or
Wallace) wing of the Democratic Party
were much closer buddies than they
are today, the President tossed out the
first ball with his left hand. This year
he launched the season with a high,
hard, right-hand heave. Then, as if in
a gesture of compromise, he took an
other ball and threw it from the port
side. This left-hand throw, it was re-
ported, was neither as fast nor as &C
curate.
We were certain that the deep-doom-
ed political prophets would go to town
with all sorts of interpretations of that
highly significant pitching perfor'
nance. That's why, being modest and

One of the fightingest editors Cat
the turn OF the century, was

Fear OF Another Big War Continues

Seventy Three Per Cent Be.

BY GEORGE GALLUP
Director, American Institute
of Public Opinion

PRINCETON, N. j., April
26.-Fear of war is rising
throughout the United States.
More than seven in every
ten voters polled by the In
stitute say they think another
war is likely within Is years.
Five out of every ten think it
may come within ten years.
This nervous attitude about
present world conditions, with no
peace settlement among the ma
Jor powers, underlines many other
basic American attitudes on cur
rent issues. 1t explains, for exam
pie, the large public vote which
polls have found in favor of peace.

the @ u t r US cautious
attitude toward reducing the army
navy budget. 1t is closely related
to the public's dissatisfaction with
the progress of the United Nations
organization to date, as reported
last week.
The fear of war is shown in
the following poll results, includ-
ing a trend over the past two
years.

will find itself in another war
