Arrest. in Nebraska
Reveals Killing Of Man
In Canadian WiIds

DAYTON, Ohio, Aug. 25.-The dis
appearance of Dayton man and
his 13-year-old daughter on a trip
to Alaska was solved today, Sheriff
Ben Smith said, with news that he
had been shot and killed in the
Canadian wilderness.
A man who accompanied him has
been found with the daughter in
Bushnell, Nebr.
The victim was John A. McComas,
50. who left Dayton August with
his daughter Louise, in an automo-
bile driven by Gustav o. Wiegner,
"A, of Dayton.
Mr.. McComas, Veterans Admin
istration ernploye, had answered
Wiegner's advertisement requesting
a companion to share a trip to
Alaska.
Said He Shot at Squirrel.
Sheriff Smith said Wiegner had
told District Attorney Kenneth c.
Fritzler OF Kimball County, Nebr.,
that he accidentally shot Mr.. Nc
Comas while firing at a squirrel
with a 20 rifle.
The shooting. Wiegner reported,
took place 100 miles north of Daw-
son Creek, British Columbia.
The three persons, travelling the
Alcan highway, had stopped to look
for camping site.
Sheriff Smith quoted Wiegner as
saying that after the shooting I'VE
became scared and pulled OUT; that
later he found Mr.. McComas' purse
containing $1,000. in his automobile
Sheriff Began Search.
Authorities here did not know
whether Mr.. McComas' body had
been found.
Sheriff Smith began q search for
Mr.. McComas after the mans
brother, Alfred Of Miamisburg, Ohio
told authorities he believed John
McComas had been slain.
A telephone call from Wiegner in
Bushnell to his wife here led to
his arrest. Mrs. Wiegner has filed
suit for divorce.
Authorities here said a newspaper
clipping from Bushnell listed Louise
as Wiegner's daughter. This, plus
report that Wiegner had paid
$700 for lease of a tavern, aroused
the suspicion of o. L. Hall, father
in-law Of Wiegner, who went to
police.

Guard Small Business
To Fight Communism,
Senator Murray Urges
Nv thu Asxaciotad Prsss

Protecting small business is bet
ter weapon against communism
than laws. Senator Murray, Demo-
crat, of Montana, said today.
| Senator Murray told a conference
of lawyers of the Justice Depart
ment's Antitrust Division and rep
lresentatives of small business Or
CARNATIONS that:
I'VE can't prevent communism by
merely passing laws, but only by
protecting and strengthening that
large group of middle-class citizens
in our country known as small bust
nessmen."
Senator Murray said that business
in America is threatened by the de-
velopment of large corporations
which completely dominate the
market in their fields and are de-
stroying the principle of free COM
petition based on free markets
"Collectivism in business begets
collectiveism in Government Sem
ator Murray continued "A healthy
competitive economy in the prser-
walton of which tens of thousands
Of businessmen have an interest
means a healthy democracy we'll
worth fighting to preserve
The Montana Senator deplored
the abolition of the small business
unit In the Department of Com
merce and passage of the Bulwinkle
bill by the Eightieth Congress.
The Bulwinkle Act frees railroads
and other carriers from the anti
trust laws in fixing rates by agree
ment among themselves.
Every politician who comes be-
fore you gentleman will swear tc
high heaven that he is absolutely
for free enterprise and the preserva-
ton of small business" Senator
Murray said. But look at his record
and see If while he talks small bust
ness. he votes big business"

For Mobile X-ray
Unit In T-B Fight

The countrywide tuberculosis X
ray survey will begin in Jackson
County May 10 with the arrival
of the mobile x-ray unit of the
State Board of Health, under the
sponsorship of the Jackson County
Health Department, which will
be in the county for three of four
weeks.
Forty-two locations for the unit
have been worked out so as best
to cover the county and make
the unit convenient to every one.
All persons over Is years of age
are urged to take advantage of
the opportunity to have chest X
rays taken without charge in the
drive to control tuberculosis.
Health officers pointed out
that the taking of the x-rays is
entirely painless and that there
is no inconvenience of undressing
as the pictures can be taken
through ordinary clothing. Re-
ports will be made directly to
the person concerned if there is
anything wrong.
This x-ray survey is primarily
for tuberculosis but other chest
conditions such as heart disease,
tumors, lung abscess and other
harmful conditions will also b.
reported.

the county will take advantage
of this free service" health of
