Man Beats His !" Children TODeath

MIAMI, Fla. (F)-A sobbing 59- year-old father told detective ser geant John l.. Deas today that he had beaten his two children to death and then shot two of his next door neighbors because he didn't want to see the children placed in a home."
 The father, Chris Russell, oper- ator of cafe, attempted to take his own life as detectives rushed into his restaurant, Deas said.
 The blood-stained and battered bodies of Peggy Russell, II, and John Russell, 6, were found in bedroom of their little home.
 Next door, MT. and Mrs. Walter L. Wolfe were found on the floor of their real estate office, both suffering from bullet wounds.
 Another business neighbor of Russell's. Mrs. B. Poppelauer, told detectives Russell had rushed into her store and fired his gun at her point blank" but missed.
 Detectives took a revolver from Russell who pointed the gun at himself and snapped the plunger on an empty shell as they went into his cafe, Deas said.
 Deas, in reconstructing the af- fair, said Russell apparently killed his children, and then, "beserk," rushed into Wolfe's office and shot the couple.
 Physicians said both Wolfe and his wife, Ethel, might die from their wounds. Wolfe was shot twice, one bullet entering his throat and the other his left hand. Mrs. Wolfe also was wounded twice in the left shoulder and in the left side.

Dems. Apologize For Savage Defeat

SPOKANE, (P)-"Some Demo- cratic apologists," national Re- publican chairman B. Carroll Reece said last night in a radio address, "are seeking to mislead the people into believing" that the defeat of Democrat Charles Saw age in Washington's third district Congressional race this month was really popular victory for MT. Truman"
 He said the true reason was the open support of "our bipartisan foreign policy by the victor, Re- publican Russell V. Mack, of Ho- quiam, and the fact that Savage had the support of Henry A. Wal lace. Reece asked his audience also to remember always that MT. Truman publicly announced his support" of the deefated can- didafe.
 k At a news conference earlier in the day, Reece said he did not be- lieve it would make any difference to Republican prospects in 1948 If Wallace remained a Democrat or launched a third party. et-

Thompson also was reported by a party spokesman to be tout" and not ex- pected back today.
 Winocur, vice president of the American communications associ- ation, said he had seen Bridges several times in the last few days but denied that he had seen him Monday.
 Asked whether Bridges had been in his home Monday, Vino cur said: "That isn't true. The story is fabrication based on two premises. They've never given up their fight to deport Harry and in the present waterfront situation they are using the old Red smea-:."

DimitrOv Resents Marshall's Talk

SOFIA, Bulgaria, (P) - Com munist premier Georgi Dimitrov took issue yesterday with a United States criticism of Bulgaria but said he hoped no action would be undertaken which might hinder the establishment of normal and friendly relations between the two countries.
 Dimitrov commented on a for nal statement issued by the state department in Washington June II with reference to the arrest in Sofia five days earlier of Nikola Petkov, leader of the opposition agrarian party, who was accused of plotting against the Bulgarian government.
 He said he personally was mot informed" that all freedom-sup- porting peoples outside Bulgaria had authorized the state depart ment to declare that they would place the present Bulgarian regime on trial. He said he hoped nobody was informed to that effect.
 CThe U. s. statement said that just as certainly as Petrov went on trial, "so will the present Bull

garian regime be on trial in the minds of many Bulgarians and certainly in the opinion of all freedom-supporting peoples out side Bulgaria.
 Dimitrov said the current Bull garian administration was active ly and consciously supported by a large majority of the Bulgarian people.

Rambling Thoughts By The
Philosopher

Walt Whitman speaks somewhere
of loving to be among the animals
because they do not bow to each
other.
That is, among animals there is
no rank, nor class, except that
class which is fixed by nature and
all of them recognize as part of
the organization of things.
The dog wastes no time in re-
GREETING that he is not a fish and
the fishes do not want to get out
of their medium. They are content
to be in the water.
There is no nakednesS among
the animals, no sense of shame.
They expose one part of them
selves as indifferently as another.
it is only among human beings
that we come to clothes and the
coverings of the human body.
Consequently, humanity is the
only kind of animal life that has
manufactured a sense of shame.
There is no modesty or shame
or any such thing among the
animals who frankly are what they
are. Animals go about the world
and out of the world as naked
as when they were born. It is man
alone that must be covered up.
It is from our sense of conceal
ment that most of our sins arise.
Animals have neither sin, nor con-

In suspending sentance and plac-
ing the employe on probation, the
judge said: "The bank informs me
you were one of its best men. You
worked late hours and appeared to
have the banks interest at heart
A man in your position at the bank
has to maintain a certain standard
in the community. If they expect
you to- wear a white shirt at work
they should pay you white shirt
salary" Thus, here even in the
records of the Federal Court is
found further evidence of the pinch
being felt by unorganized bank
workrs in attempting to live and
meet today'S high living costs on
pittance salaries. Bank employees
must awaken to the fact that the
only sure way to assure themselves
of adequate pay and improvements
in working conditions is through
organization. There is no reason
why our banking institutions should
not pay to their employees salaries
which are sufficient to allow them
to maintain a decent standard of
living for themselves and families,
or as Judge Picard expresses it
"a white shirt salary"

=. The Freedom Train resplen-
dent in red, white and blue colors,
was dedicated and started out
across the nation in $4,000 mile
long visit to 300 American cities
and towns. Tom Clark, Attorney
fathered the Freedom Train idea.
It is supposed to house the priceless
cargo of historic records and will
be open to the public. I wonder
how many Negroes will be on
there. Clark told those listening
that they should lick prejudice.
Prejudice grows out of ignorance.
When you find a man who is
prejudice against some certain
American because of color, race,
or religion-you can set it down
he is an ignorant man. He also
said, 1--WE should make America a
happy America, share its response
bilities and above all believe in
freedom for the other fellow too"
A man who speaks like that is a
right thinker and broad speaker.
Speaking of Freedom, we were
freed fro mslavery by old "Abe
Lincoln" now who will be the God
sent to free us from prejudice.
Death is the only thing that some
time frees us, but some places we
are buried in segregated or "jim
crow" graveyard. We can make
our lives more pleasant to ourselves
and to others by freeing ourselves
from many things which limit our
freedom. Frederick Douglas was

the state-when he settled on his
estate near Bristol, in Bucks
County, in 1858. So well did he
build that the brewhouse remained
standing more than 200 years, out
lasting the rest of the Manor
buildings. Several years ago, the
brewhouse was restored to its
origional appearance by the Penn
sylvania Historical Commission.
Even the origional brewing equip
ment was duplicated as closely as
possible.
Penn's proprietary laws also
contained provisions for promoting
temperance. Beer license fees were
kept low as a further encourage
ment of the sale of the mild
beverage. Drunkenness and intem-
perance were made public offenses
and accordingly punishable. With
beer readily available, however,
there were few cases of intem-
perance among his people.
To Penn, beer was more than
just an aid to moderation. Histor-
ians reported that he relished it's
flavor land was accustomed to
praise his own brew"
The industry William Penn start
ed in Pennsylvania has grown to
one of major Importance in that
state, as well as in other states.
The ideals he eNpounded on tenn
perance and moderation are still
shared by countless other intel
ligent and foresighted Americans
today who have the nations best
