Storm Joined them. He was kick
ed in the groin. and the other
officers suffered numerous bruises
and scratches. The aid of two
motorcycle officers was needed to
finally subdue Olive, who is six
feet tall and weighs about 180
pounds, police said.
During the melee in the restau-
rant, police related. about six
shots were fired. Two went wild
striking the ceiling 10 feet apart,
and apparently four struck Mr..
Daniels.
He was pronounced dead at
Emergency Hospital.
Rented Basement Room.
Mel Smith, who lives in fourth
floor room at the place where
Olive also roomed, said Olive came
to the rooming house about three
weeks ago, he believes, from Fay
etteville, N. c. Mr.. Smith said
he rented a basement room there.
Earlier this week, Olive visited
Mr.. Smith in the latter's room.
Mr.. Smith said he showed Olive
two guns with which he INDUCED
in target practice.
When Mr.. Smith came home
this afternoon, he said, the two
guns and box of .38-caliber
cartridges were missing. He said
he was nervous about their theft,
and did not know what to do.
Mr.. Smith, a Government
worker. said he believes Olive
served four and half years in
the Navy.
Homicide detectives were ques-
tioning Olive last night at head
quarters. They said he told them
that he was on probation after
an assault on a police officer.
Mr.. Daniels, steamf1tter, was
a native of Washington. He was
graduated from Roosevelt High
School. During World War II he
was a seaman first class, and

of my life fighting to save it,
Numerous men and women de-
|clared that Washington needs a
housekeeping.
A few Democrats indicated that
they would like to have Gen.
Eisenhower as their candidate
next year: but, for the most part.
the Democrats seem to assume
that President Truman will be
the Democratic candidate.
"You can't change horses in a
mud puddle" a Democratic farm
Ier in Missouri said.
Remarkably enough, the most
severe criticism of the Democratic
regime that heard was in Texas
Iand Oklahoma. The Southern
Democrats seem to be more dis
ttressed over Washington policies
than any other group-even Re-
Ipublicans. They would not predict,
however. that the South would at
tempt revolt against Mr.. Tru-
man again next year. On the con-
trary, they were quick to assert
that Oklahoma and Texas would
return the usual Democratic ma
ljorities.
Military Leaves Them Cool.
A motel operator in Pennsyl-
Ivania indicated that Mr.. Truman
may have more support than ap-
pears. He said that he could not
find anyone who would admit
that he bad voted for the Presi-
dent in 1948, though he polled a
large vote in the neighborhood.
In my questioning found lit
tie enthusiasm for a soldier -Presi-
dent. and what little I found was
for Gen. Eisenhower. Many peo-
pie seemed to fear the election of
a military man. Various reasons
were given. The most common
was that soldier might be tempt
ed to make use of the huge mill
tary machine we are building,
and that this would mean World
War III. Others feared that a
soldier might well turn into a
dictator in the kind of world we
have today.
Many tales with many people
left me with the definite impress
sion that a soldier-no matter
how popular when nominated
would prove to be a highly vul-
nerable candidate when rival poll
tlcians went to work on him in
the heat of the campaign. More
over, the people want assurances
that civilians will control the
Army, the Navy and the Air Force
and. above all, the atomic bomb.
AS expected, I found that the
Democrats retain their strength
in the industrial regions, certain
ly among the majority of the
workers. The strongest defenders
Iof the Truman Administration
that met in a National survey
were in the industrial cities of
Ohio, and there I got the idea
I that it was not because they loved
Mr.. Truman and the Democrats
SO much as that they hated Sem
ator Taft, and feared the Re-
publicans.

Speaking OF yesterdays expert

Smith said that she and her hus-
band met a stone wall OF regula-
tions.
''We all begged them to take
my husband in right away" she
said. HE screamed at them that
they must take him in before
he killed himself or somebody else.
But they just told us that we
needed doctors certificates, and
an investigation by the mental

to get him in, even though we
were willing to pay. They said

DR.. Hlsry Mead, who is in
charge of admissions at the hos
pital, confirmed last night that
he had refused to admit Mr..
Smith because the proper pre-
liminarieS had not been completed
Maryland law requires the OBJ
tanning OF certificate signed by
two phySicianS-neither connected
with the hospital-and then off,
cial authorization from county
welfare authorities or the Board
of Mental Hygiene at Baltimore
before a patient can normally be
admitted, DR.. Mead said.
Recalls Interview.
DR.. Mead said he advised Mr..
Smith and his wife to return to
their own physician and obtain
the necessary doctors certificate
recommending admittance.
They were then to apply to the
country officials at Rockville or
the State Board of Mental Hy-
giene in Baltimore for official
authorization, he explained. He
added the procedure might have
been completed ''in very short
time"
The hospital official said he
checked with two other hospitals
not State hospitals-at which
Mr.. Smith had been a patient be-
fore making his decision.
Doubted His Intentions.
"I did not have the feeling at

Police said the death weapon
was the .38-caliber gun which
Olive carried.
Olive was taken to Gallinger
Hospital for treatment of injuries
suffered during his tussle with
five policemen and then trans
ferred to police headquarters.
The shooting occurred in Bud
81 Jud's grill, 3416 Fourteenth
street NV. Jud C. Durocher.
co-owner of the grill with his
wife, Elinor, gave this version of
the incident:
Olive came in about z o'clock
and ordered a beer. He received
it and paid for it. Mr.. Durocher
said he noticed the man was
talking loudly and acting in an
overly friendly manner" toward
other customers.
Mr.. Durocher took back the
beer and returned Olives money.
Olive walked toward the door,
and halted at a table occupied
by Mr.. Daniels and the clubs
entertainer, Don Sandros, 412
Eleventh street NE, and engaged
in a brief conversation with Mr.,
Daniels.
Mr.. Sandros said Olive then
went outside, and stood in view
OF those at the table for about
four or five minutes.
Then he returned with a gun
in his hand, and declared:
Don't nobody move, or I'll
shoot the first one who does"
Mr.. Daniels and two Marines,
Pic. Francis Brosnihan and Corpl.
Francis w. Landry, both stationed
at Quantico, Va, approached Olive
and talked with him in an effort
to soothe him. They offered to
buy him a beer.
FleeS Through Back Door,
Apparently mollified, Olive
stuck the gun under his belt and
went to the bar with the men.
But at the bar. he turned to MIR.
Daniels and said:
you don't want to buy me a
beer. You'll just call the cops"
Mr.. Daniels struck the man in
the face, and the struggle began.
All four men fell to the floor.
with Mr.. Daniels and the Marines
trying to wrest the gun from
Olives grasp. Mr.. Durocher said
by this time he was out the back
door, and heard four or five shots
fired.
A scout car was parked about
rs feet from the front door of the
grill at the time of the shooting.
A customer rushed out and sum-
moned Pvts. E. j. White and Will
liam Clossom, of the tenth pre-
cinct. Meanwhile, Mrs. Durocher
had called headquarters.
Assistant Police Supt. Walter
Storm. in a nearby restaurant eat
ing, heard sirens approaching the
area and went to investigate. He
arrived at about the same time
PvtS. White and Clossom entered.
AS Inspector Storm tried to give
first aid to the wounded man, who
was lying on the floor in a pool of
blood, the two other policemen set
of in pursuit of Olive, who had
fled through the back door.
Two Guns Seized.
They captured him about 300
feet from the grill, in an alley,
and, with Olive resisting fiercely,
they said. managed to take two
guns away from him-a .32-cali-
