z Women Shot Dead,
Another Injured; Slain
Suitor Is Blamed
By the Assoeioied Press

LAKEWOOD, N. j., Aug. IT,
Two women were shot to death
last night and a third seriously
wounded by a lovesick suitor who
later was killed when police cor
nered him, Ocean County Detec-
tive George Westervelt said.
Mr.. Westervelt identified the
dead women as Mrs. Anna Tulpan
of Hillside, N. j.. and her mother,
Mrs. Anna Kaczmasz. Mrs. Alex
andria Primpkoff of Passaic,
N. j., said to be visiting the other
women, was taken to Paul Kim
ball Hospital where her condition
was reported as serious.
The assailant was identified as
Pawel Yasiwics, who police be-
lieved was from New York. AL
most simultaneously, Mr.. Wester-
velt said, Yasiwicz shot himself
in the chest and police shot him
as he emerged from nearby woods.
ShOotings Described.
Mr.. WeStervelt gave this &C
count of the tragedy:
Yasiwicz, believed to be a dis
placed person from Poland, was
in love with Mrs. Tulpan,
supposedly suing her husband for
a divorce. Mrs. Tulpan was visit
ing her mother here.
The suitor, who cleaned the
grounds for Mrs. Kaczmasz, was at
the home tonight where a get
together with the neighboring
Primpkoffs was in progress. Mrs.
Kascmasz objected strenuously to
YaSiwicz's attentions to her daugh-
ter and an argument ensued.
He became enraged, drew a re-
volver, and shot Mrs. Tulpan and
her mother dead. Mrs. Primpkoff
was shot in the neck.
Sets House Afire.
After the shootings, Yasiwicz set
tlre to the house, in an apparent
attempt to destroy evidence. Fire
men arriving on the scene discov-
cred the bodies and police threw
a Gordon around the wooded area.
Yaslwicz soon came stumbling
out Of the woods, brandishing a
revolver in front of Lakewood
Township Police Officer William
Pool. He shot himself in the chest
and at the same moment Pool drew
his revolver and shot Yasiwicz.

Here is a partial teIt OF the
speech By President Truman
today dedtcating a public square
to the memory OF labor leader
Samuel Gompers:
We have come long way in
our fight for human justice since
the days of Samuel Gompers, but
the gains we have made are al
ways under attack. The forces
of reaction are always trying to
undo the progress we have made.
One of the greatest struggles
Samuel Gompers had was to pre-
vent our courts and legal inStitu-
tions from being perverted into
instruments Of oppression against
workingmen. That was a real
danger in his day.
In recent years, there have been
attempts to bring back the old
ideas that Gompers fought
against. There has been a cam
.paign to rewrite our labor rela-
Itions laws SO that they would
favor employers against their en-
.ployes. There has been a plot to
devise legal machinery to cut the
strength of organized labor into
little pieces. and to entangle each
piece in a snare of legal restric-
tions and red tape.
The entire effort is harmful
not just to labor, but to the well
fare of the country. 1t is a back
ward step, legally and eco
nomically.
We have been fighting against
it. and we must continue to fight
against it.
Fairness, Justice Sought.
Our objective is to have what
Samuel Gompers wanted: Fair
ness and justice in the law of
labor management relations. We
do not want a law that is stacked
in favor of either labor or man
agement. We want a law that
will insure free unions and free
collective bargaining. and be fair
to both employers and employees.
And l believe we will have that
kind of a law. in the long run, in
spite of all these efforts to turn
back the clock of progress.
There is another respect in
which we have been moving for
ward against stiff opposition since
the days of Samuel Gompers.
That is in creating a stable econ
omy. One Of the things that
Gompers fought. all his life long
was unemployment. He knew
that industry and Government
must work with labor to prevent
depressions and maintain high
levels of employment.
We have adopted the principle
that working people shall have in
surance to give them some pro-
