Baby of Four Years Kills Sister, Eight, With Shotgun

WAUKEGAN, H. CP)-An eight year old girl was slain by a blast from a 12-gauge saWed-off shot gun, which police said was fired by her four year old brother be- cause, they reported the boy as saying, "She hit me"
 States attorney Harry Hall of Lake county said there would be no official disciplinary action against the boy, Billy Taylor, as the law does not charge a child of four with responsibility for his acts.
 The shooting of Billy's sister, Betty, occurred in the Taylor's small apartment after their mother, Mrs. Viola Taylor, 26, had left Bet ty in charge of Billy and a baby sister, Patricia, l6 months, while she had gone to a real estate of flee. The childrens' father, Albert, was at work as a painter.
 Mrs. Taylor told police that when she returned home Betty was staggering about the living room, her hands clasped over her abdomen and crying Billy shot me"
 Mrs. Jettie Dykes, the childrens' grandmother, told Police It. Law renee Kelly that Billy had told .her he had taken the shotgun from behind a davenport where it was kept, obtained shell from a dresser drawer, inserted the shell in the gun, pointed it at Betty, and pulled the trigger.

Iceland To Use Alaska Seed For RefOrestatiOn

SEATTLE, (P) - Two Iceland conserVationiStS flew to Alaska yesterday on a reforestation pro- gram which they said would call for shipping 2OO,OOO,OOO Alaska spruce and hemlock seeds yearly to their homeland.
 The men-Vicfus Jakobson, a former University of Washington forestry student, and Pail Sveine- Son-are from the Icelandic forest and soil conservation service. They also will collect grass seeds for soil conservation projects.
 Jakobson said the tree plan sprung from experimental plant ings which thrived wonderfully" after three field trips he made to Alaska between 194S and 1946
 They said they would collect the seeds between Yakutat and Prince William Sound, in south central Alaska. They said the millions of seeds actually would weigh only about 100 pounds.

Brooklyn Dodgers Will Win National League Pennan!
tBY Jack Hewins)

EVERETT, Wash. C4') - The Brooklyn Dodgers will win the national league pennant.
 Whats more-and we're quoting Dotty Ebbets all the Way-"the Dodgers will win the world series, and I'll be there!"
 Ordinarily she's Mrs. Mitchell Dollmeyer, dignified mother of two chubby youngsters, Cub Scout and Bluebird leader, but when series time draws near and those beloved buns are up there in the running she's just Dotty Eb- bets again, granddaughter of the grand old man of Brooklyn base ball and the tomboy who grew up in the shadow of Ebbets Field.
 Mrs. D. owns a chunk of the Dodgers but professes not to know how much. She talks of my" team in the rabidly possesSiVe tone of the Brooklyn fan, rather than the calculating voice of a shecklC- minded owner. She counts her div , idendS in base hits.
 But old habits are strong. When Dotty Ebbets goes to a ball game she always gets a seat back of first base and always makes a quick count of the customers-a holdover from the lean days when a few extra fans in the grandstand might mean steak for. dinner out at the EbbetS' house.

|U. s. Should Not
 Have Participated In World War III

WASHINGTON CP)-The Amer ican Magazine yesterday quoted former President Herbert Hoover as saying that this country should have stayed out of World War II and we never would have been attacked by the Japanese if we had not given them proVocation."
 In an article for the September issue, writer Sidney Shallett said the 73-year-old Republican states man also told him Premier Stalin of Russia will make international agreement with the full knoWl- edge that they aren't worth a damn if they do not work out to his advantage"
 Shallett wrote that Hoover de- clared in an interview it would have been in the best interests of world peace if this country had held aloof from the recent fighting with the explanation:
 My theory is that, if we had kept out of the immediate conflict, we could have put our sword on the table with our economic re- sources intact and made a decent peace when the time for peace making came.
 "I never believed the British were in danger of defeat. When Germany attacked Russia, it made British victory possible"
 Shalett said the former Presi- dent does not feel that either Com munist world domination or an- other world war is inevitable, and holds the opinion that economic weapons of the United States will prevail in the end despite "Whole series of Communist revolutions now under way"
 Hoover made a postwar world survey as a special representative of President Truman. Recently he | was appointed by the Republican controlled House to serve on l2- man commission which will con- slider ways of streamlining the structure of the federal govern ment.
