Washington 5iafe Capitol Building Ordered Closed
 As Result of Recent Quake
(By The Associated Press,


 A new problem--two or three months closure of the State Capi- tol building harassed Washing ton State officials today as they scurried to find room for depart ments already custed from their quarters by last Wednesdays earth quake.
 Closure of the legislative build ing, which houses offices of the Governor, auditor, treasurer, secre- tary of state and legislature--was ordered yesterday by Harold Van Eaton. state director of public in- stitutions.
 He sad engineers found the 100- ton sandstone cupola atop the building dcme had shifted during the temblor and mortor holding the hugs blocks was broken.
 It added the problem. of finding quarters for nearly a dozen depart ments to Van Eaton's earlier task of providing for four departments custed by closure of the old capitol building h downtown Olympia.
 Meanwhile, in Seattle and nearby areas, students of at least five schools received additional vaca- tion periods. Officials said the Snoqualmie and Duwamish grade schools win be closed until further notice because of extensive damage, Lafayette grade school will be de- molished because of extensive dam age, Cascade grade school will be partially torn down and third Seattle school, Horace Mann, will remain closed until a chimney is repaired

Keel of Worlds Largest Aircraft Carrier Is Laid;
 65,000-Ton Super F|aftop
By HARRY c. NASH. JR.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, April 18 -R-The keel of the worlds largest aircraft carrier-tig enough to handle bombers capable of carry ing atom bombs-was laid today.
 No ceremony attended start of work on the 65,OoO-ton super flat top, which has been the center of a hot controversy between the Navy and the Air Force.
 The Air Force regards the $186,- 900, ,O00. carrier, which will be named the United States, as an invasion of the field of long-range strategic bombing, a field to which the Air Force claims exclusive rights.
 The Navy denies this and con- tends its planes of 1852 should have correspondingly up-to-the- minute seagoing airstrips to ope- rate from.
 Laying of the keel today ended week of uncertainty as to whether the ship would be built. President Truman and Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson 10th de- clined last week to answer ques- tions whether the Navy would get its giant carrier.
 At 8:45 am. giant dockside crane picked up a l5-ton bottom shell panel, including keel plate from the floor of the biggest build ing dock at the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Com pany plant, and deposited it on keel blocks approximately at mid- ship position.
 Installation of keel blocks began about month ago.
 She is scheduled for completion in 1852.
 The carrier, first ship of tns Navy's postwar building program will be 109O feet long. She will have beam at the water line of 13o feet with a maximum fixed width above the water line of 190 feet She will fly from her flush deck the latest type carrier planes and will he equipped with the most ad- vanced armament of her time.

FIVE DEAD
 IN FASTER
 GUN BATTLE
Young Merchant Kills 3 Police Officers, Posse
 man Before Shot Down

PULLMAN, Wash, April 1S.- tR A 24-year-old merchant killed three policemen and another posse man before he was shot dead in a two-hour Easter Sunday sunlight. The man, who went "bsrserk" when an officer tried to arrest him, Police Chief Arthur Ricketts said, was George Mcintyre. He was a Boy Scout troop leader and an expert" marksman in tile army during tho war. Ricketts said he bit one man severely in a. downtown fight yes terday. Then he shot an officer who tried to arrest him and club bed the policeman as he lay dying.
 When posse closed in on Mc- Intyre near his home, he op6neu firse with German sharpshooter's rifle equipped with telescopic sights. He killed three men and wounded another with this and another rifle before tile posses bullets Killed him.
 Four are Dead
 Mcintyre, owner of a Pullman electrical store.
 Sheriff L. M (Petc) Parnell, q. ci Whitman County.
 Deputy Sheriff Gilbert w. ual- lagher. 27. of Port Angeles, Wash, who got his badge only few weeks ago.
 Officer Ross Char. ss. who first tried to arrest Mcintyre,
 Ernest Bucl;-4s 4s owner Of . Pull man taxi fleet and | posse n,ssn- Der.
 Wound d in the leg by one of McIntyre's bullets was policeman James D. Roberts of Pullman. Two men were cut by glass shattered by McIntye's shots.
 Bizarre Series
 Ricketts said this bizarre series oi events led to the gun battle:
 Mcintyre met w. H. Kerehav. Pullman dairyman, on a downtown street. He rushed at KershAw. who once had sworn out a speeding complaint against him, and bit his face so badly 1t was first believed a knife wound.
 When Claar later apprchended him, Mcintyre opened fire with . pistol as the officer went toward him.
 He shot Char three times. Claar fired two shots as he lay dying, but Mcintyre dodged behind Claarss car. Mcintyre then took the offi- cer's night stick and clubbcd him. He then took Claar's gun and fled.
 PIcl1s off Pursuers
 Then he fled to his home. on the outskirts of town. He exchang- ed the pistols for two rifles. A witness said he was dancing around like a wild man" when the posse arrived.
 From vantage points along the highway he picked off his pursuers. Scores of spectators lined the hill- side watching the gun battle. but Mcintyre saved his shots for the posse.
 Gallagher and Buck were killed as they stepped out of their cars. unaware of the danger. Parnell was shot later as he got out of his car to join the posse.
 Ricketts said no one knew whose bullet struck Mcintyre in the

Senator Aiken, ranking Repub-

not been invited to be present; his
House opposite number, Repre-

fought the Aiken bill, will keynote.
Mr.. Hope is not magnetic speak

love him and he would even help

In this somewhat spotty picture
the theme will be that the farmers

Traffic 'Massacres' Over Labor Day Held
Due to Craving of Many to Show Off

make contact between a lighter
and the tip Of a cigarette. They
would lose only a minute by draw
ing aside and coming to a full
stop.
One wonders. also, why manu-
facturers create cars capable of
speeding at 80 miles an hour,
which no laws permit, or why they
build speeds into others whose
weight will not sustain them, or
why licenses are issued to persons
known to be chronic or periodic
alcoholics.
Technical Tests Urged.
Most other countries require
candidates for drivers licenses to
pass technical examinations. They
must know what happens to the
car while they are driving, and
what strain each part is sustain
ing. Drivers often take chances
because Of mechanical ignorance.
The place to begin the educa-
ton of drivers is with the young.
Holders Of junior licenses should
have them revoked for minor &C
cidents on the ground that they
are not mature enough to drive.
The American adolescent regards
q drivers license as proof Of man
hood, and the authorities should
make him prove it. Good or bad
driving are habits.
The public should show more
Indignation. People who avoid
accidents by a hairs breadth
from the reckless driving of
others, rarely report the offender.
In most States it is more costly
to shoot a deer out Of season
than risk q human life on the
road. And revoking licenses Is
Intellectual when the penalties for
driving without them are so in
considerable.
Holders Of licenses also should
be re-examined every three years.
In most States one can get q
license at 18 and renew it with
out re-examination to the age of
80. Cars are being driven by
people who are deaf and half
blind.

Albania's frontier. This operation
is necessary, Athens leaders con-
tend, in order to put an end tc
the activities of the Communist
guerrillas who escaped into that
country and now are being re-
grouped and rearmed.
The international implications
Of such an action would be so far
reaching, however, that the Amer
ican Government can neither be
a party to it nor encourage 1t. The
borders between Albania and
Greece are rugged but the Greek
army is not able to seal them ef-
fectively.
Conditions In Albania.
Conditions in Albania are pre-
carious for the Red rulers. Pro-
Tito Communists are fighting
Moscow's puppets, and apparently
with some degree Of success. Ac-
cording to available reports the
Tito Communists are gaining
ground, principally because of
publicity given to the fact that
America is helping him in every
conceivable way.
An old-style Balkan feud is in
progress between Albanians and
Greeks. Any attempt by Greek
forces to pursue guerrillas onto
Albanian territory, regardless OF
how expedient such action might
appear from the military point Of
view, would upset the situation de-
veloping there.
The Albanian factions, which
are now having field day in their
struggle for power, Immediately
would join hands to oppose the
Greek invasion. Moreover, Tito
has his eyes on Albania and hopes
that, if his followers succeed in
overthrowing the government, Al
bania-small but strategically i'm
portant-will join Nationalist
Communism, which he is promot-

good for the country-for all busi-
ness, including the steel business.
The concept Of Mr.. Murray as a
man seeking to serve the interests
of his country, as well as the in
terests Of his union members, is
illustrated by his declaration to
the fact finding board:
"Organized labor will not sit
idly by and watch this nation drift
slowly into depression and des-
pair"
Lest that suggest a purely in
tellectual philosopher, talking
above the battle. it should be re-
called that he prefaced the warn
ing with this language:
II serve notice upon profit
gorged industrialists and upon
complacent or reactionary poll
ticians." That's the way this
particular labor statesmen talks
when the argument becomes
warm. Giving to a radio audience
his version of the proceedings
before the fact-f1nding board, he
said the companies had put on a
display of arrogant nonsense, a
distortion of social justice. and a
display Of misguided enmity to
the institutions Of honest trade
unionism and democratic govern
ment."
Accepted Business Voice.
However, it wasn't only MIR.
Murray who saw the behavior Of
the company spokesmen in an
unfavorable light. Here are para
graphs taken from Barron's
National Business and Financial
Weekly:
1.-THE steel trade remains un-
loved. The manner in which it is
handling its current dispute with
the steel workers union may pro-
vide a partial explanation for this
d1lOAA1dAys
". for the managers to have
tantrums in public life like a
group Of maladjusted children can
only strengthen the hand Of those
enemies of the steel industry who
are striving for its nationaliza-
tion."
Barron's is one of the accepted
voices Of business In America.
What it is saying must reflect the
views of great part Of the busi-
ness community. II the steel in
dustry does not wish to continue
"unloved" in that community, it
will be wise to change its tactics
and it's attitude-as 1t takes the
next steps in its dealings with Mr..
Murray and the workers.
