Missing Penguin
Found on Road;
Is Taken to Zoo

None the worse off for its adven-

from Admiral Richard E. Byrds
flagship was reunited with fellow
travellers at the Zoo today.
DR.. William M. Mann, director OF
the Zoo, said the penguin was car
ried to the Zoo this morning under
the arm of John w. Crawford OF
Indianhead, Md.
The bird, DR.. Mann said he was
informed, was found on the Indian
head Washington highway three
miles from the river.
That's probably the land record
for a penguin in North America, .
laughed DR.. Mann He added, how
ever, that the penguin might have
followed a stream nearer the high
way.
Seven penguins escaped when
their crate broke as 1t was being
lowered from the Mount Olympus
at the naval gun factory. Two re-

TEXAS CITY, April ia great
cloud of black smoke still pillows up
from Texas City and the flames
from the oil tanks that feed it are
burning as furiously as ever. But
the wind has shifted to the south.
w. H. Sandberg, vice president OF
the Texas City terminal railway
said this morning that with the
change in the wind the greatest
danger that the fire would spread
was caused by a few burning box
cars in the area of the Humble Oil
Co. tank farm. That is the scene OF
the biggest fire.
These might ignite oil in bitches
along the track and spread the fire
to other tanks. He said one of his
locomotives was going in to get the
boxcars out.

Tiso Dies on GaIIows
After Appeal Is Denied

BRATISLAVA, Cze C h o slovakia
April 18--Dr. Joseph Tiso, the par.
ish priest who became President oi
the wartime Nazi puppet state Of
Slovakia, died on the gallows al
dawn today for crimes against the
Czechoslovakia state.
His appeal for communication from
the sentence imposed Tuesday by a
national court was rejected by the
Czech government.
DR.. Tiso, 50, formerly was little
known Roman Catholic priest al
Banovce. Long an advocate o1
Slovak autonomy in the prewal
Czechoslovak republic, he was named
premier of an autonomus state OF
Slovakia by the Prague government
in October, 1898, as an aftermath OF
the Munich pact.
He was ousted in less than six
months, but Adolf Hitler immediate
ly let 1t be known that he regarded
DR.. Tiso as the rightful premier ano
the Slovak Parliament, with the
promise of German military pro-
lection, declared Slovakia independ-
ent and DR.. Tiso again became
premier.
He was elevated to the presidency
during the war and was decorated
by Hitler. He was captured BY
American troops in June, 1945, anc
turned over to the Czechs for trial.

Churchill Hits Wallace
For Lacking Courage
10 Explain His Goal
American Is AssuiIed as
Cryptic Communist in
Talk to Conservatives
BY the Associated Press

| LONDON, April 18.-Winston
Churchill today assailed Henry
A. Wallace as a cryptic Commu-
mist" lacking the courage to ex-
plain his destination, and &C
cused the Laborite government
Iof squandering the American
loan of $3,750,000,000.
Mr.. Churchill told a Conservative
Party rally of 10000 in Albert Hall
that MIR. Wallace had sought "to
separate Great Britain from the
United States and to weave her
into a vast system Of Communist
intrigue"
Our policy toward Russia must
be one of honorable friendship
through strength" Mr.. Churchill
said. "It must not be cowardly ap-
Ipeasement through weakness.
1T must be absolutely clear we
shall allow no wedge to be driven
between Great Britain and the
United States"
Amid laughter, Mr.. Churchill ex-
planned his designation of Mr..
Wallace.
"A crypto- Communist" he de-
clared, ''is one who has not got the
courage to explain the destination
for which he is making"
Cites Own Practice Abroad.
| In reference to the European
speaking tour in which Mr.. Wallace
has attacked United States foreign
policy, Mr.. Churchill added:
Il travel about a certain amount
myself and I am received with much
kindness by all classes, both in Eu-
rope and in America. But when
am abroad, I always make it rule
never to criticize or to attack the
Government of my own country"
Il have no patience with English
men who use the hospitality of a
friendly nation to decry their own "
