mixed parentage enjoying liberty.
George Washington and Thomas

Kendrick WaitsAction
By Grand Jury on
Shooting Charge

John A. Kendrick today awaited
grand jury action on charge that
he fired pistol with intent to kill
Tommy English, 80, identified by
police as Hendricks former gang
land rival.
In hearing which started Friday
and ended late yesterday, Municipal
Court Judge Aubrey B. Fennell or
dered the defendant held under the
s., 500 bond posted after his arrest
early last month. Kendrick also
faces jury trial on July 27 on a
charge of carrying deadly weapon
in connection with the alleged
shooting.
Yesterdays hearing produced two
witnesses who testified that shot
was fired in front of Englsh's home
in the 800 block of Tenth street NV.
on June l. English, however, was
dismissed from the stand Friday as
hostile witness" by Prosecutor
Assistant United States Attorney
William S. Mckinley who was un-
able to get him to bear out police
testimony quoting English as saying
Kendrick was on the scene when a
shot was fired.
Pfc. Morris J. Kurger, Of the Army
Military Police, said he heard a
noise like a shot as he was cruising
nearby in a radio car. He testified
that Immediately after the sound
he saw a car bearing Virginia tags
leave the curb. The soldier added he
followed long enough to note the
license numbers, which later proved
to be those of Hendricks car.
Another witness testified he fol-
lowed the automobile to Thirteenth
and M streets NV. The witness,
Irving Hurwitz, Is, of the 1900 block
of Lamont street NV, said he saw
the car come to halt near the
intersection where a man he identt-
fed as Kendrick got out.
Police testimony that a loaded
pistol, which had apparently just
been fired, was found in the aban-
doned car met with the objection OF
Defense Counsel James K. Hughes,
who claimed an illegal search. Judge
Fennell, however, overruled the mo-
ton on the ground that the halted
car violated parking regulations and
that police had the right to enter 1t
for purposes of identification.

RONNE RESEARCH ExPEDI-
TION BASE, ANTARCTICA, April
3 (NANA).-For the last two
weeks we have been unloading the
Port Of Beaumont as she lay at
anchor In Marguerite Bay. Our
small boats have been ferrying sup
plies ashore, vending a wary way
past a huge overhanging cliff of
ice which juts out over the water
from glacier moving into the sea.
Since this steep ice shelf is only
500 feet from our camp site and
towers 100 feet in the air. our boat
crews have kept a nervous ear
cooked for sounds Of its imminent
collapse. Fairly constant creakings
and groanings within the mass did
not seem to change its stability, so
the crews kept on working, though
admittedly pushing their throttle a
bit hard when they were near it.
But our first crew out one morn
ing noticed that the crevasse be-
tween the glacier and what will
some day be an iceberg had Wild
ened dangerously. Unloading opera
tions were Cancelled and the best
course CT action discussed.
A detail consisting Of Chief En-
giner Charles Hassage and Pilots
Charles Adams and James Lassiter
decided to blast In an attempt to
remove the menacing ice mass. They
lowered eight charges Of TINT into
the depts of the crevasse and con-
nected wires to the Impulse box.
The results to put it mildly, were
spectacular. Buildings shook, snow

said to have served as the main
link between the Kremlin and
American Communists, this aft
ernoon was found guilty of con-
tempt of Congress by a District
Court jury which deliberated
only 20 minutes.
The jury's foreman, Christopher

Justice Alexander Holtzof con-
tinued Eisleris bond of $4,000 and
delayed sentencing until June a.
Eisler could be sentenced to 81 900
fine and four months to one years

The 51-year -old German Commu-
