Cautious Approach Used.
The five policemen eyed Mr.. Don

cially early in the morning, but
swear those cops were afraid tc

Pvts. William T. Taft and Frank
A. DiBitetto of the No. 13 precinct,
admitted after they finally locked
up Glen that they had been a bit
wary.
He snapped at u.s." they said,
and for once they felt that the arm
of the law was not long enough.
I'VE went over to a nearby grocery
store and got a bushel basket. Then
we prodded the turtle until it struck
its tail out, and we picked him up
by it."
Turtles Fate Uncertain.
Glenn, a perfect fit for the bottom
of the basket, glowered at visitors
while they puzzled over his fate.
Mr.. Donovan said he was ready
to forget the whole incident, but
was going to see doctor about his
leg He regarded Glen as a social
problem, and if not a juvenile de-
linquent. as least sadly delinquent.
But he would press no charges, he
said.
Until they could round up turtle
experts, the police were not willing
to risk their amateur standing by
specializing on Clem's lineage. They
weren't sure whether he was a sea
turtle or a terrapin, but were i'm
pressed by the size of his claws.

Newark Police Captain
Slain al Headquarters;
Woman Friend Held
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEWARK, N. j., May 21.-Po-
lice Capt. Thomas ]. Rowe was
shot and killed today in his
Office at first precinct headquar-
ters, and Chief John Haller said
a tall, red-headed woman ident-
flied as Mrs. Ann Powers was

Chief Haller said Capt Rowe and
the woman walked into first precinct
headquarters shortly after 4 am.
and went to the captains office.
Ten minutes later 1t. William
Willie, on duty at the information
desk, heard single shot and saw
the woman running from the Office,
Chief Haller said.
Detective Ray Poquette rushed
into the Office as 1t. Willie grabbed
the woman, the police chief said.
Captain Collapses on Floor.
"Get me to a DOCTOR" Capt. Rowe
asked the detective, and then col
lapsed on the floor. He died at 5::32
am.
The police said the woman refused
to say anything other than to admit
there had been "a shooting"
He said she was 80 years old, mar
ried and described herself as
friend of the police captain.
She refused to believe reports
later that Capt. Rowe had died,
Chief Haller said, and asked to be
taken to the morgue to see the body.
Prove it," she was quoted as telling
police.
The police chief said she was
taken to see the body but showed no
emotion.
Pistol Found on Floor.
Capt. Rowe'S service pistol was
found on the floor near his desk.
Chief Haller said he had been shot
in the abdomen.
A marriage certificate found in
the woman's possession showed she

Powers. She refused to say any,
thing about the marriage, Chief
Haller said. 4
Police said the woman was en-
ployed as a waitress in a Newark
bar and apparently had Joined Capt.

G, II, Is Seized by Police
After S1O2 Theft al Market

Two policemen, answering a call
that a man was breaking into the
Calvert Market, 1862 Columbia road
NV, early today captured a young
soldier who, they said, was escap-
ing from the store.
Pyts. Louis A. Lozupone and Ber-
nard Q. Coates, cruising in their
scout car, received a call that q
man had been seen breaking into
the market through a transom.
On their arrival they said the SOL
dier, who is only II years old,
crashed through the glass door with
a meat cleaver in his hand and
ran down Columbia road. He ran
almost into the arms of Pvt. Joseph
Stanczak, the patrolman on the
beat. The soldier reversed his
course and. ran back toward the
scout car where he was arrested.
The three policemen reported that
they searched their captive, an
Army private stationed at Fort Les
lie j. McNair, and found $102 in
bills and change. Theodore Sha-
piro, manager of the store, subse-
quently told police that this amount
was missing from two cash reg
listers. The prisoner was turned

Taft Will Seek Chance
In Bill Despite Peril
To 0Ieo Tax Repeal
By ChoImers M. Roberts

Senator Taft, Republican, of
Ohio will press for amendment
of the House-approved Rivers
bill to repeal oleomargarine
taxes, regardless of what effect
any amendments may have on
the bills chances of final con-
gressional approval.
He made that clear late yesterday
when informed that House hackers
of the repeal measure, which he says
he favors, pointed out the compli-
Gated parliamentary situation which
will arise if the bill is amended and
goes back to the House.
Senator Taft commented with
tart, that's perfect silly" when told
that Representative Rivers, the
South Carolina Democrat who spon-
sored the repeal BILL had cautioned
against amendments. Mr.. Rivers
wrote the Senate Finance Commit
tee, now considering the House bill,
about the situation. Senator Taft
was not present at yesterdays COM
mittee meeting.
They can't tell us what to do"
the Ohio Senator said. The fate
Of the bill, if it goes back to the
House, is their affair" he added.
House supporters also pointed out
Testerday that a single objection on
he House floor could block a move
20 have the House agree to Senate
"mendments. The bill then would
rave to be given a right-of-way by
he Rules Committee or be forced
once again out of the House Agri-
culture Committee, probably by
2nother petition signed by 218 mem
oers.
Chairman Allen of the rules group
said yesterday I'VE wouldn't do that"
sit on the bill or let it go back to
Agriculture. He said it wouldn't
be fair to sidetrack it, after the
overwhelming House approval. House
supporters, however, point to the
fact that of the IL committee men,
bers, six voted against the repeal
measure, four in favor of it, with
two not voting

Others opined he was refugee from
the Zoo. In any case, Clem was
paying for his misdeeds by a strict
hunger diet.
DR.. William M. Mann, Zoo direc-
tor, said it was not uncommon for
swapping turtles to wander from one
stream to another.
1t might be, he suggested, that
Clem was on the prowl for mate
south, to be expected this time OF
year.
It seemed to be a tossup whether
Glen was headed for the zoo or an

Historians Check Records.
Historians checking the records
came up with unofficial informa-
ton that the Democrats had a
slight lead in the series, II victories
to 3.
Richards said the Democratic
starting lineup, with one possible
exception, would be the same as
announced yesterday, with Battles
at third base, Rivers, center field;
Jones, second base; Smathers, left
field; Fogarty, shortstop; Pickett,
first base; Worley or Gathings, right
field: Harris, catcher, and Wheeler,
pitcher.
The manager said all his players
had signed a pledge to observe strict
training rules last night and today
and that he had asked all to re-
frain from making speeches today
to keep them off their feet and
have them in the proverbial pink
for the fray.
The Republican starting lineup
will not be announced until just be-
fore game time, but Bishop will
pick nine men from the following:

ALLELUIA-AN ANCIENT
HIP HIP HOORAYt
BY REV. JAMES LLOYD

Isn't 1t odd how some people are
always trying to belittle some solid,
irritating truth A good example of
this is the Resurrection of Christ
from the dead. Century after cen
tury there have always been men
with constantly changing theories,
who have tried so very hard to >ex-
plode it-and chiefly by the self
defeating contention that ''it Just
couldn't happen" Yet the fact is
much to the chagrin of the perennial
spiritual iconoclaust - it DID hap
pen. Actually the historical fact that
Christ did rise from the dead is un-
questionable. All a man has to do
is examine the facts, forget to look
at the clock and the calendar, and
remember that the century he lives
in does not determine the truth or
falsity of what he sees.
The ever-present enemies of
Christ realize that the Resurrection
is the pivotal point of all Christian
ity, that, in the words of st. Paul,
"If Christ be not risen, our faith is
in vain" They know that once you
accept the reality of the Resurrec-
ton, everything else follows. After
all, during Christ's public life on
earth He pledged Himself in word
and parable to the fulfillment of
that which no prophet or saint had
ever thought of promising,-that He
would raise Himself from the dead.
On three known occasions He had
raised the dead through His own
commandment as Suppliant but as
a Master. My the final and supreme
manifestation of His divinity-His
own self-resurrection-He laid the
groundwork upon which Christian
ity rests.
This is the rock bottom of all our
believing, all our enduring, all our
loving. Because Christ thus proves
His divinity, We believe Him and in
Him. Hence, we follow with courage
and JOY anything that He says. We
accept unhesitatingly any decision
He might make In Him we place
all our trust, all our hope for hap
piness both in this world and the
next. That is why the full -throated
AIleluias resound through the
Christian world today. 1t is just an
ancient way of saying Hip Hip
Hooray."
Now Christ spreads hope and op-
timism to reinvigorate the world. He
tells us that there is a glorious
meaning to existence. There have
been men frightened by life who
have tried the pagan formula of
madden music and header wine, but
they have honestly admitted that
the solution does not lie there 1t
lies alone with Christ because Christ
alone can comfort the sad heart of
man. He alone can promise that if
we live and die with Him and in
Him, we shall rise glorified and tri-
umphant. He has done battle with
sin and death Christ has weakened
our enemies. He can strengthen us.
He has gone down into the grave
and returned to say that all is we'll.
Now man knows-for he has seen
it in the Christ of Easter Sunday
that He will rise in interruption
That is the heart and soul of Christ
ianity. That is why we sing Hip
Hip Hooray" when the mists have
parted, the trumpets sounded and
heaven flashed through. Christ, Our
Saviour, is with us.
