CHICAGO - A "stench bomb"
thrown through an open window of
the Press Room at the Chicago De-
fender, 1925 South Indiana Avenue,
last Thursday night, injured one
pressman and resulted in a slight
delay of the publications city edi-
ton. The national edition will be "on
sale" as usual.
John H. Sengstacke, editor and
publisher of the Defender, told Chief
of Uniformed Police Ray Crane that
he knew of no reason for the bomb
ing other than the efforts of the In
ternational Typographical Union to
force the newspaper out of business
THE throwing of the stencil
bomb into our Press Room was just
another chapter in a series of cpl
sodes which we believe are designed
to drive our paper out of business
said John II. Sengstacke, publisher
and editor I'VE shall continue fight
ing as we have during the past
fortyfour years of our continuous
publication. We believe that we can
take this and other problems of
~the rights of Negroes in our stride,
too"
In 1947 members of the Interna-
tional Typographical Union walked
out of the plant of the Chicago De-
fender without notice or without
giving the publication opportunity
to negotiate with them for a Defen-
der contract. The strike against the
Defender was part of the general
strike against all Chicago news
papers that the Typographical Union
called. This unnecessary walkout
has been called the rule or ruin"
program of the Typographical Uni
on, especially since the Chicago De-
fender had previously offered to
bargain in good faith with repre-
sentatives Of the union.
In sympathy with the Typogra-
pnICdI OHIOL, uldLSIS WdlhCO OuS OM
a similar basis in 1948.
Publisher Sengstacke affirmed
that the Chicago Defender will con-
tinue its fights and programs for
first class American citizenship
throughout America. This news
paper will carry out the fighting
philosophy of Robert S. Abbott, our
founder and first editor" Mr.. Seng-
stacke stated in concluding his re-
marks.

fered burns of the legs and back. He
was rushed to Michael Reese Hos

ported as mot critical.
No clues as to the bombs origin

Bantam LIanos Rated
Choice Over Cooper
For Turner'S Bout

Of his showing here last week
when he trounced Johnny Arduini.
Art Llanos, Puerto Rican bantam-
weight, rates as a slight favorite
for tomorrow nights fight at Tur-
ner's Arena against Jimmy Cooper
of Washington. Cooper may have
little weight edge on the in
vader, but Llanos has plenty Of
experience to help Offset that.
Llanos showed last week that he
has not only all the speed a good
bantamweight must have, but also
plenty of punch. Several times he
had Arduini in trouble with his
Furnishing left hooks and was able
to take anything that Arduini
dished out.
In addition to his showing last
week, which was enough recon-
mendation, Llanos is highly touted
by Sixto Escobar, a fellow country
man and twice world bantam king
with whom Llanos frequently
spars. Escobar predicts that Lanos
will be world bantam champ in
side year
Cooper, like Llanos, is a little
buzzsaW with plenty of punch and
a victory for him will earn a re-
turn bout against Leo LeBrun.
LeBrun took a split decision over
Cooper recently and Cooper since
has been calling for a rematch.
Johnny Holt, hard-hitting local
light-heavyweight, meets Harvey

TWO KILLED, TWO
WOUNDED, SEATTLE;
3-H0UR SHOOTING

SEATTLE, July 21-LR-A city
homicide detective, who voluntarily
returned in his cff-duty hours to
help capture a cornered gunman.
was killed early today.
Moments later his slayer died
in a volley of police fire.
Dead are Detective Harry W..
Vcsper, about IS, and the gunman,
James Jackson, about SO. Negro.
Two others-Johnny Taylor, 80,
also Negro, and Donald M. Reed,
81, tow truck driver-were hospital
lied with gunshot wounds. Tay-
lor's condition was critical, that of
Reed was fair.
Vosper was killed as he met
Jackson face-to-face at the base
ment entrance of a two-story house
where the gunman was surrounded
by more than 20 policemen.
The Sayings, climax to a series
of shootings that continued over a
a three-hour period, came as police
moved into the house after filling
it with tear-gas bombs.
Police said the fatal battle fol-
lowed an earlier shooting at Tay-
lor's home where Jackson had gone
to see his estranged wife. When
Mrs. Jackson told him to leave or
she would call police, Jackson sud-
denly fired six shots from a As
caliber automatic. Three of the
bullets struck Taylor. Mrs. Jack
son and Mrs. Taylor were not hit.
Police traced Jackson'S car to the
lower Seattle home and assigned
Detective Kenny Thomas to watch
it. When no one appeared after a
considerable time, Reed was called
to tow the machine away.
He was shot as he started to
hitch up the car.
Vosper, who had investigated the
earlier shooting at Taylor's home,
was at headquarters talking to
friends when the report of Reeds
shooting was received.

FALTERING PLANE ENGINE

SEATTLE, July 21-tR-The fall
tering engine that led to the take
off crash of a Gas with 80 per-
sons aboard Tuesday night had
been ailing on a flight from Al
aska that morning.
That was the report today by
Amos E. Heacock, president of Air
Transport Associates, Inc, the own
ers. The firm has operated mainly
on Alaska runs.
Heacock said, however, that re-
pairs were made on it at Paine
Field and it checked out perfectly
in a test flight by Pilot Merle
Edgerton, who was at the con-
trolls in the crash.
Heacock and Edgerton also said
the engines also ran perfectly prior
to the takeoff, but that one failed
at the moment the plane left the
ground.
Edgerton, in his first account
of his attempt to get the plane
back to. the ground safely after it
struck power lires, said his main
effort was to veer round big
power transformer that doomed in
his path. Heacock said he thought
the pilots success in doing it was
responsible for the miraculous es-
cape OF most of the planes occu-
pants.
The condition of Mrs Eleanor
Whining, 46, Kodiak Alaska, a
plane passenger who received a
chest injury, remained critical to-
day, hospital attendants said.
The seventh victim of the crash
was identified by Air Force dental
records as Cpl. Lawrence Furio,
Chicago.
Heacock said the airline recently
started a system of training the
pilots and testing the aircraft in
one-engine climbing.
He said that near Kenai, Alaska,
last Sunday, one of the planes
climbed 5000 feet on one engine
while fully loaded with fish car
60. Heacock himself was at the
controls with Milton Donner the
lines check pilot. Heacock said
safe altitude was gained on one
engine just after a takeoff later
that day at Yakutat.
