Travel in Colorado
By the Associated Press

DENVER, Oct. 15.-A driving
storm which left nearly 2 feet of
snow on the high Rockies, disrupted
travel and imperiled hunters was
moving northeast out of Colorado
today, leaving behind one known
dead.
The victim was William Barnes,
81, of Spencer, Iowa, injured fatally
last night when, police said, he was
struck by motorist while crossing
Colorado Springs street in blind
ing rain.
Sheriffs of several mountain coun-
ties expressed fear some sportsmen
might be marooned by the storm
which started early Monday. One
group near Georgetown abandoned
their automobile in a 6-foot drift
and walked 4 miles to safety.
Food shortages were reported from
numerous hunting camps in the
Southwestern area. Several score
hunters were said by Montrose po-
lice to be marooned in Tabaguache
basin and on Twenty Five Mesa.
After temperatures dropped to the
low 20's during the night, the Denver
Weather Bureau predicted clearing
and warmer weather with only oc-
casional showers throughout Colo
RADIO today. It said the storm was
moving into Nebraska and the Da-
kotaS.

Representatives of the brewing in

new plan for curtailed grain usage.
They expected to present it to Mr..
Luckman during the day.
A spokesman for the American
Bakers Association, asking not to

servation steps to offer Mr.. Luck

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 15.-A
strong majority of the AFL fash
ioned another defeat for John
L. Lewis here today arousing
speculation as to how much
longer MIR. Lewis would keep his
United Mine Workers in the

The embattled miners chief al
ready has surrendered his future

Executive Council when he was
soundly defeated yesterday by a
standing vote of about 9 to on the
controversial issue involving the
filing by union officers of non-
Communist afidavits under the
Taft-Hartley Act.
That happened in the most tumu!-

1885 in Atlantic City when the same

CIO. The session here was replete
with name-calling, Mr.. Lewis refer
ring to AFL leaders among other
things as intellectually fat and
stately asses"
Nearly all Of the other AFL big
names were arrayed against Mr..
Lewis and several of them took the
floor to do verbal battle with him.
Secretary Treasurer George Meany
accused Mr.. Lewis in his CIO days
OF giving aid and comfort" to Com
munists, several of whom he named
and referred to as Sinking
America-haters who love Moscow"
The knock-down, drag-out battle,
long expected to break out in the
AFL brought the remark from Mr..
Lewis at oae point that "* Il don't
think the AFL has a head. I think
its neck has just grown up and
haired over"
The next battle between Mr.. Lewis
and the AFL majority was fore
snadowed by the information that

A sworn statement by a fellow
prisoner of how he heard John
Forrest Bunch Hopping about
like a rubber BALI in his cell at
No. 8 precinct on July % was
released today by attorneys for
the family of the 64-year-old
carpenter who died at Gallinger
Hospital of a skull fracture a
week after his arrest for intoxi-

Frank Paul Regan, who lived at
the Gospel Union Mission when he
was jailed on charge of intoxica-
ton last July, expressed the conyic-
ton that the elderly carpenter suf-
fered several convulsions in his cell
and that his calls to police to come
to the aid of the ailing prisoner

Regan was summoned as a wit
ness to the inquest on August IA,
at which members of the Bunch
family charged the carpenter had
been beaten and mishandled while
in the hands of police, but for some
reason was not called to the stand.
Previous Statement Cited.

Attorney John r. Fitzpatrick and
Edward j. Lynch, who had been re-
tanned by Bunchs widow and chill
