Ex-senator David |. Walsh, n,
Dies Of Cerebral Hemorrhoqe
RY the Assoeia.ed Prsss

BOSTON, June H. Former
United States Senator David /.
Walsh, IA. Democratic veteran Of
more than a quarter century in
Congress, died yesterday Of a cere-
bral hemorrhage.
Death came to the wartime chair
man of the powerful Senate Naval
Affairs Committee at $40 pm,
shortly after funeral services had
been held for his sister, Mrs. Nellie
e. DooIey, who died at her Boston
home Sunday.
The veteran of almost so years
in Massachusetts, politics died Q
week from the day he was admitted
to st. Elizabeth's Hospital for OBJ
servation of high blood pressure.
His condition became serious Mon
day and took sudden critical turn
Tuesday night.
He was in an oxygen tent great
deal of the time since early in the
week and had. to be fed intra-
venously.
Was Defeated by Lodge.
His lifelong friend and law part
ner, Judge Thomas H. Connolly, and
several relatives were at his bed
side when he died. He leaves two
sisters. the Misses, Julia and Mary
Walsh, with whom he made his
home in Clinton.
| Mr.. Walsh's long career in Wash
ington ended last November after
Republican Henry Cabot Lodge, jr.,
grandson of Woodrow Wilson's old
Senate foe, wrested the Senate seat
from him in a one-side victory.
| Mr.. Walsh's career was In the
best-cheriShed American tradition
from a poor newsboy to seat in
the United States Senate. The son
of immigrant parents, he was born
in Leominster, Mass.
1t was a career, however, that
followed no beaten pathways, for
he was a Democrat who won po-
litical power in a traditionally Re-
publican State-Massachusetts.
He was the first Democratic Rep
resentative in the Legislature from
his home district, the first Demo-
cratic Lieutenant Governor, the
first son of immigrant parents to
be Governor and the first Demo-
cratic United States Senator from
his State since reconstruction days.
An Independent.
Not only did he break political
precedent, but his service as a leg
islator was marked by an inde-
pendence from partisan ties that
found him frequently aligned oppo-
site his party leaders on major
issues.
Early in his Senate career he dif-
fered, as protectionist, from many
of his Democratic colleagues on
tariff issues.
During President Franklin D.
Roosevelt's administration he was
one of the first of the Democratic
members to break away from the
Presidents leadership, joining the
group which opposed and defeated
Mr.. Roosevelts plan to increase the
size OF the Supreme Court.
Later he joined fight against
the Presidents proposal for reor-

BIoodhounds Aid Hunt
For Kentucky Gunman
In Double Staying
BY the Associated Press

MOREHEAD, KY, June IL
Sheriff's deputies and State patrol
men aided by bloodhounds searched
the Christy Greek district near here
today for a gunman whose shotgun
blasts, officials said. killed country
storekeeper and a teen-age youth.
Sheriff Sam Green of Rowan
County and County Attorney Elijah
Hogge said witnesses gave them this
account of the shootings:
Laughing Youth Shot.
The gunman, his head and face
covered by a sack in which holes
had been cut for his eyes, yesterday
entered the store operated by Eddie
Johnson, 81 brandished his weapon
and said, Don't nobody move"
Sixteen -year-old Robert Rowe,
who was sitting at a counter,
laughed and said, what are you
doing, trying to kid somebody"
In answer, the gunman fired a
blast into the youth and then
turned to Mr.. Johnson with the
command to come here.
When Mr.. Johnson attempted to
dodge behind the counter, the gun
man felled him with a second blast,
then ran from the store.
Identity Suspected.
Coroner James Brown impaneled
a jury which gave a verdict that
the storekeeper and young Rowe,
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Rowe
of nearby Elliott County, were
killed by an unknown assailant." +"
Other officials indicated. however,
that the identity of the killer was
suspected and said John Doe"
warrant had been issued for his
arrest.
A motive for the double Staying
remained to be established. Some
sources pointed out, however, that
sharp differences had developed be-
tween families in the district fol-
lowing the return of indictments
in several moonshine and weapon
carrying cases by recent session Of
the Rowan County grand jury.

Soviet Atom Proposals
Seen Offering Fresh
Approach 10 Problem
BY The Associated Pres.

LAKE SUCCESS, June 12.-Rus-
sia and the Western powers were
still poles apart today in their views
on atomic control, but some United
Nations delegates expressed belief
that Soviet proposals submitted yes
terday at least offered the basis for
q new approach to the problem.
While there were no signs that
the 12-month deadlock In the u. N.
Atomic Energy Communication was
any nearer the breaking point, the
delegates had before them for the
first time detailed Soviet plan for
atomic control.
Tho plan, unfolded by Soviet Dep
uty Foreign Minister Andrei A.
Gromyko, went to the commission's S
working committee today for con-
sideration and discussion.
Reconciliation Hoped For.
1t left the fundamental differences
between Russia and the ma jority of
the commission unchanged, but the
Soviet views were more clearly de-
fined than at any time previous and
some delegates expressed hope that
perhaps these differences might be
reconciled.
The fundamental differences are
l. The Soviet plan would separate
the atomic problem into two parts.
The first would be an immediate
convention or treaty to outlaw
atomic weapons The second would
be a convention or treaty establishing
international atomic controls. The
majority Of the commission favor
a single document embracing pro-
hibition and control
2. The Soviet plan provides only
for recommendations to govern
ments on questions relating to pro-
duction,, stockpiling and use OF
atomic materials and atomic en-
ergy." This would mean placing
these matters under national
auspices as opposed to the majority
opinion that an international
agency alone should deal with them
3. Russias plan would also pro-
vide that the international con-
troll commission recommend to the
Security Council (where the veto
exists action against violators of
control agreements. The United
States insists that the veto must
not be used to prevent violators OF
atomic crimes from escaping pun
tshment.
Speculation Stirred.
But In his speech to the commits
sion Yesterday, Mr.. Gromyko did
open up speculation over new pos
sibilities for agreement on tnterna-
tional inspection.
Mr.. Gromyko said that the pro-
posed international atomic commits
sion, with internationally recruited
personnel, would have access to any
facilities for mining, production and
Stockpiling.
This raised question whether
the Soviet delegate meant by this
that international inspectors would
be completely free to operate inside
Russia.
The United States has been in
sisting on unlimited international
inspection.
But Warren r. Austin, chief Ameri-
can delegate, told newsmen yester-
day that he personally never had
vocated unlimited inspection,
holding that 1t was a "fallacy" to
which no country, mot even the
United States" could submit. He
said 1t was for the United Nations
to define what is meant by inspec-
ton.
Tin was imported from Cornwall
to Italy shortly after the invasion
of Britain bv Caesar.

they can be followed in this Capital.
There are many whose observance
Of Christmas is strictly a religious
festival, and Ambassadors and their

in their Embassies. Others start
their celebration on Christmas eve
and carry it through December 26,
and as one hostess has said, "This
year it will be a long holiday with
Saturday and Sunday included"
The Netherlands has two holidays
in December, celebrating st. Nicho-
las Day December and again hav-
ling two-day holiday December Is

bles Santa Claus-red coat, white
beard and rotund figure. st. Nicho-
las is accompanied by his Black
moor Peter, who gives out. penalties
perhaps switches-to the bad little
children, while St. Nicholas gives
out the toys and goodies to the good
little. ones.
