Circus Lion Fatally Claws
Granddaughter Of Trainer
BY the Assoeiaied Pres.

MENA. Ark, Oct. 31.-The
granddaughter of an animal train
er was clawed fatally here last
night by an enraged lion.
Maria de la Luez was attacked
by the animal when she entered
its cage, apparently through an
unlocked door, Sheriff Hobart
Hensley of Polk County reported
The 9-year-old child was travel
ing with her grandmother, Mrs
Louisa de Campo. an animal train
er for the Campo Brothers cir
Gus. The circus was here for q
one might stand. ..4
Mrs. De Campo remained behind
with the body or Maria pending
word from the child's mother
Mrs. Natalie Louisa Luez. Mrs
Luez recently left the show to re-
turn to her home in Naco, Sonora,
Mexico.
DR.. Henry Rogers Of Mena
treated the child at the scene and
then ordered her removed to q
hospital. where she died about 20
minutes later.
DR.. Rogers said the child was
clawed at least twice by the lion
once on the left cheek and once
at the base Of ner SKuh.

mainly from the Ongjin and
Yonan Peninsulas. south Of the
38th Parallel and west of Kae-
song. The U. N. command said
this was meaningless as the two
Ipeninsulas have no military value.
They also protested the previous
Red buffer zone proposed would
strip the Allies Of their best de-
fenseS.
The new Red proposal was con-
|sidered an important departure
from all previous Communist
positions on where to stop the
fighting.
But. Col. Kinney said, it will
not be the final solution of the
question Of the demilitarized zone" !"
Would Cost Allies Protection.
He estimated the difference in
where the Allies and the Reds
placed the battle line involved
about 200 square miles.
Col. Kinney said the area was
not a major factor.
The important thing, he said
is that the Red proposal would
deprive the Allies of a protective
cushion against q surprise attack
ins some sectors.
and" he added, you don't
need but one vulnerable spot, as
the French found out in 1940."
Asked why the Communists sud-
denly changed their position SO
radically. Col. Kinney commented
Winter is coming. They have
been badly hurt. He (the enemy
is in need of an armistice."

was brought out regarding the

Kefauver Plans Bill.
AS the House group mapped its
extensive line of inquiry, Senator
Kefauver, Democrat, of Tennessee,
announced that, when Congress
reconvenes in January, he will
sponsor legislation to place col
lectors of revenue under civil
service. He also said he would
sponsor a bill making it unlawful
for bureau employees to engage
in any other activity for compen-
Sation.
"The American people today are
bearing very heavy tax burden, :"
Senator Kefauver said. They
have a right to expect that the
law will be administered honestly,
and with no favoritism. They
have a right to expect that the
collectors Of their taxes will be
professional men, well qualified for
their jobs. Many of them un-
doubtedly are. But some of them
have been proven not to be, and
the laws which I shall propose to
the next Congress will have as
their purpose the separation of
the good from the bad"

Tennessee Collector
OF Revenue RESIGNS;
War Target Of Attack
by the Assoeiafed Press

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Oct. 81. -
Lipe Henslee. who had been Ten
nessee's collector Of internal reve-
nue. since 1899. resigned his post
last night because Of bad health.
The 48-year-old official said he
had just finished q physical exam
ination and his doctor had advised
him that the duties, tension and
responsibilities Of the Office were
too much Of a burden.
Mr.. Henslee suffered q heart
attack in 194s and has had recur-
rent heart spasms."
The collector made his resigna-
ton effective Immediately, to In
ternal Revenue Commissioner
John B. Dunlap.
Mr.. Henslee had been under
suspension at his own request. He
asked to be suspended last week
after Columnist Drew Pearson
predicted in a radio broadcast
that Mr.. Henslee soon would be
drawn into the Nationwide in
vestigation Of the Internal Reve-
nue. Bureau because Of irregu-
larities.
In granting the suspension, Mr..
Dunlap said he did so solely be-
cause Of Mr.. Henslee's physical
condition. Mr.. Dunlap said sew
eral weeks Of inquiry had failed
to turn up any evidence Of law
violation or malpractices in the
Tennessee internal revenue Offices.
Mr.. Pearson said Mr.. Henslee
operated slot machines at a club
Mr.. Henslee owns, that he "is
under investigation in connection
with narcotics" and that he had
bought an automobile with money
borrowed from woman in
Dickson, Tenn, Mr.. Henslee's
hometown.
Mr.. Henslee denied the charges
and asked for the suspension to-
gether with a full congressional
investigation of his office.

nal demands, as publicly an
nounced. neither side showed an
interest in holding this ancient
Korean capital.
The current Allied proposal de-
parts from the battle line to in
corporate Kaesong and the hills
just above 1t. U. N. negotiators
say they are militarily important
as a gateway to one of the ira
ditional invasion, routes toward
Seoul.
The Reds want Kaesong, ap-
parently, for the same reason.
They also want it because it has
become a symbol during truce
negotiations and because 1t is
within Red lines.
The Allies point out that Kae-
song was in no-man's land before
truce talks started.
The U. N. command has offered
to withdraw its troops from 200
square miles in the East in return
for the Reds pulling back from
200 square miles in the West, in
Icluding Kaesong.
Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols,
q. N. spokesman. told newsmen
after Wednesdays 4-hour and Is
minute sessions:
The Communists submitted a
new proposal for the establish
ment OF a demarcation line and
demilitarized zone based. according
to their statement, on the current
line Of contact.
The proposal was made on a
map which was handed to U. N.
subcommittee representatives. The
map is on 1-to-200, 900 scale, and
In Korean. and the U. N. COM
mand delegates will transpose it
On a 1-to-250,000 scale map in
English. in order that the pro-
posal can be studied in detail"
Red Version Slightly Altered.
The subcommittee, assigned the
job Of drafting a proposed agree
ment on a buffer zone. previously
agreed generally On just where the
line Of contact was.
A U. N. command communioue
said the Communists new pro-
posal was based On a slightly al
tered Communist version of the
line Of ground battle contact"
There was no immediate indi-
cation Of the military impor-
tance Of these alterations, or the
difference in the two proposals
where they follow the battle line
The U. N. command position has
been that it needed a buffer zone
along the battle line to provide a
cushion to protect ground troops
against a possible surprise at
tack.
The U. N. said the previous Red
proposal would have made the
Allies pull back from almost e5
per cent of the active front while

Otherwise. the 9th Army said,
there was mo significant action. !"
Rains almost washed out the
air war. The 5th Air Force re-
ported only 318 sorties up to

ed and will not materially alter
the recommendations" the SUBJ
committee plans to make to cor
rect conditions.
1t has been indicated that one
Of the principal recommendations
regarding collectors will be to
place them under civil service.
Now they are presidentially ap-
pointed. During recent months,
six of the "a collectors through
out the country have been fired,
allowed to resign or suspended in
the wave of scandals that have
swept through the country's tax
collecting system.
While planning to move to other
areas Of investigation, the sub
committee plans to hold hearings
in San Francisco on conditions in
the collectors Office there, pos
sibly within the next month. The
collector. James G. Smyth, and
eight others in the Office have
been suspended.
The San Francisco phase also
is expected to bring into public
hearings the question of whether
the bureau and the Justice De-
partment attempted to shut off a
grand jury investigation of alleged
irregularities. A grand jury now
sitting in San Francisco is said to
be exploring that same point.
Is Steps in Fraud Cases.
Mr.. King said pointedly that the
subcommittee's investigation of the
handling of tax fraud cases will
include the actions of the Justice
Department and the United States
attorneys as well as the bureau
itself. There are Is separate steps
before a fraud case is actually
brought to court, including reviews
by various attorneys in the Justice
Department, after cases Of this
kind have been forwarded from
the bureau.
There are a number Of grounds
on which it may be decided in any
case not to seek a criminal indict-
ment," Mr.. King said. Some Of
these grounds, such as Ill health of
the taxpayer and voluntary dis
closure of his fraud, appear to lend
themselves to easy abuse, and they
will receive close scrutiny. Some
of the grounds for non-prosecution
appear to be of doubtful validity,
and the committee will develop
this aspect thoroughly"
It was learned that the subcom-
Imittee, composed of four Demo-
Gratis and three Republicans, has
requested from the bureau a COM
Iplete report for recent years on
tax fraud cases, those in which
prosecutions were recommended,
those sent to the Justice Depart
|ment, those returned without
prosecution, and the disposition of
others.
Psychiatric Illnesses Cited.
Some Of the cases, it was
learned, have not been prosecuted
for what subcommittee member
described as "odd psychiatric dis
orders" In one case being studied
the reason given why a defendant
in a fraud case should not be
prosecuted was that he was suffer-
ing from "hysterical neurosis."
In connection with the inquiry
into the bureaus Alcohol Tax
Unit, Mr.. King indicated that q
requirement for frequent renewal
of liquor licenses might be one
method of attacking any abuses
which may have arisen in this
field"
