By S-Year-0Id Girl

Eight-year-old Shirley Gretona
was. barred by law today from
tripping along on a 40-foot- high
wire, but the props were being
set for a court show to contest
the action.
Larry II. Sunbrock, SO. of Gin

prived him of his child star.

him last night on charge Of vio-
lating the Districts child labor

Cross put the finger on the shows
producer. The policeman was ac-
companied by Mrs. Alice Schaefer,
q District Child Labor Board in
spector.
Shirley should be allowed to
perform in the Nations Capital as
well as elsewhere" Mr.. Sunbrock
said today. "I didn't bring her
here Just to break the law. How
about such child stars as Mickey
Rooney, Shirley Temple. Jane
Withers and Margaret O'Brien?
Would you say they were exploited?
THE law barring Shirley is an
outmoded one and am going to
fight it."

the arrest was based on 1928
statute making it. illegal for a
child under 16 to perform profess

tion has resulted, Mrs. Sheldon

 I couldn't see Gallagher, but ne told me by radio he could see the house and that Mcintyre was out in front beside his pickup truck
 We deeided to sit tight and wait for endorsements.
 Suddenly, as Gallagher and talked back and forth by radio, a bullet crashed through my wind shleld. Glass slivers cut my arm I shouted to Gallagher to look out
 Shot From Hillside
 The shot had come from the hillside and it was our tipoff that the man Gallagher had been watching wasn't Mcintyre.
 A second shot smashed into my car and I put it into reverse and backed away.
 The third shot got Gallagher Gallagher was killed)
 Then Parnell Sheriff L. M. Par nel) and Hickman Deputy Sher- hf Jim lIickman drove up and stopped. Mcintyre opened fire again from the bushes. Psrlell was killed by the first shot a5 he stepped from his car.

 Hickman started to drive away and was hit a glancing blow on the head as a bullet cut through the car top.
 A few minutes later a man came along-I don't know who he was and said he'd seen Mcintyre sit- ting on the hillside He said he could get him if he had gun.
 I gave him my revolver and told him to play it safe.

LAND ORDER TAXES
 S6,oOo ACRES FOR
 NEW DEVELOPMENT

The withdrawal of approximately o5,000 acres of land near Fairbanks and 31.O00 acres in the Renal Peninsula, in Alaska, to permit technical examinations and sur geys in advancement of settlement under comprehensive program for sound economic development of the Territory was announced today by Secretary of the Interior J. A. Krug.
 The areas embraced in the offi- cial public land order of with drawal include 86,00O acres on the Cinema River in the Tenana Valley, 1727O.31 acres on Fritz Creek in the vicinity of Homer, and 13,35403 acres at Ninilchik, in the Kenai region.
 The order allows 60 days in which to file objections to the withdrawal and provides for public hearings, if necessary, in accord ance with the Interior Department policy that all interested parties have a right to be heard on ques- ions of public land use.
 A previous order approved June Is, 1948, temporarily set aside ap- croximately 160,974 acres of land in the Kenai- area, and 32,147 in the Dunbar area for similar studies.
 These temporary withdrawals are not intended to lock up the land from settlement opportunity, Secretary Krug said.
 "On the contrary, it is our ob- jective to facilitate the economic development of Alaska through maximum beneficial use of the public lands in the Territory. As soon as the necessary land studies and engineering surveys are. com pleted the areas, if found suitable for settlement, will immediately be opened to the public For those not desiring to await the completion of the surveys and locate within the proposed settlement areas there is ether puclic domain land available which may be entered under the existing public land laws"
 strategically placed settlement areas in Alaska within which spe- cial aid would be provided to facili- tate the establishment of new farms and communities are an im- portant feature of the long-range program for the industrial and economic development of the Terri tory which has been submitted to Congress for approval, Secretary Krug pointed out
 New agricultural and commun- ity development is necessary adjunct to industrial progress in Alaska he said. Climatic and other conditions put a greater bur- den on settlement in the Territory than elsewhere and require special consideration in order to- bring about stabilized settlement pro- jects."
 The studies for which the Alaska areas have temporarily been with drawn are teing conducted under
