LAM00RE'5 EXECUTION
POSTPONED FOR Time

Eugene LaMoore alias Austin Roll
Ian had new lease on life today
although it is of short duration. He
had originally been scheduled to face
the hangman at the Juneau Federal
Jail this morning but due to an
oversight by the Ninth District Cir
cult Court of Appeals, his execution
may be postponed as much as 80
days.
The Circuit Court has failed to
act on the District Attorneys motion
to dismiss LaMoore's appeal when
the appeal was not completed. Until
such action is taken, he cannot be
legally executed.
When the motion is granted, as is
expected, Judge George w. Folta
will have to name a new date of exc
cution. According to the law, this
date must be not less than 60 days
nor more than 80 days after judg-
ment has been entered.
1t is possible that, in order to
avoid any question, Judge Folta may
decide to follow this rule rather
than set date in the immediate
future.

CHICAGO, April 30.--lR-Media-
tor Frank Douglass said today that

men.
If this strike is TO be settled he
stated, "it must be by direct nego-

BEING QUESTIONED

WASHINGTON, April 30.-~tR--
Senator LANCER (R-ND), acting as
a Senate Judiciary subcommittee,
spent two hours today inquiring into
the official record of Federal Judge
Anthony j. Dimond of Alaska.
Dimond's reappointment for a
fcur-year term is before the COM
mittee.
LANCER questioned Delegate Bart
lett of Alaska closely about Dimond's
actions while a member of the Terri
torial Senate and while he was Dele
gate from Alaska in the House,
Bartlett replied that citizens of
the Territory, regardless of political
party, favored Dimond's confirma-

Third judicial District.
LANCER read report which said
Dimond as District Judge had APP
pointed only Democrats to be United
States Commissioners in his district.
Bartlett said that the jobs we're SO
poorly paid a judge had nearly to
get down on his knees to get anyone
to accept them.

that the only persons he could find
when on his knees we're Democrats.

his Edgecumbe opponent, was the
aggressor almost throughout de-

a good count of long-range blows,
but neither boy was in dangerous

Merry Go Round
BY DREW PEARSON
(Copyright ls4s, by The Bell Syndicate.
Inc.)

WASHINGTON-- The inside
story of how hard Dictator Peron
tried to scuttle the Pan American
conference has been lost sight of
amid the smoke, blood and con-
fusion at Bogota. Not only did
the Argentine delegation vote
against an investigation of Com
munism, but here is the significant
play-by play report of what went
on behind the scenes in Buenos
Aires when Peron tried to ditch
the conference during the 70 hours
that followed the uprising in the
Colombian capital on April 8.
At GAS p. m. on that day. Peron
received word from his official
information department of the Bo-
gotta riots. Immediately, he put
in a telephone call to Foreign
Minister Bramuglia, head of the
Argentine delegation to the Bo-
gotta conference.
Communications difficulties de-
layed that call for almost six
hours. Meanwhile, Peron had sent
