Rev. Branhanl Shooting
Case Closed

near tragedy on June IA.
Although in his first excitement
and pain, Branham inferred that
the 39-year-old, very affluent
woman, a member of his church
had shot him in anger, both later
stamped it as an accident. This,
they said occurred during his at
tempt to prevent her from COM
hitting suicide in a fit OF des-
pondency over illness.
When the grand jury after
three weeks Of investigation and
questioning many persons, failed
to indict her, or connect him with
the gambling or race booking she
is said to conduct, all stamped it
as another victory for Bready.
Both the church, with its
5000 members, and the general
public felt relieved that instead
of a long drawn out scandal
falunted hearing, the case prob
ably will soon be forgotten.
Credit for ending the litigation
goes to Bready, but it is due to
his background, rather than the
example of counterparts in long
years of preceding cases. Actually
in point of years before the bar,
he is one of the younger barris-
ters.
He is one of the few lawyers
anywhere in the country who
studied law while pounding beat
as a policeman.

Five days after she had ad-

pastor of St, Paul Baptist church
and countrywide search was be-

consul, Earl c. Bready, noted
criminal lawyer, surrendered her
to a police at the city hall.
Meanwhile Branham, with one
of the two bullets, which had
torn into his body, located near
his spine, was being carefully at

With long CLASH stories in all
the dailies, banner-lines editori-

there were profuSe predictions
that Mrs. Simpson would be in

SEE Alaska Gets
 Rain But No Fish

JUNEAU, (P)-The rains final ly came to southeastern Alaska, but the salmon didn't.
 Earlier, fish experts thought the drought-like weather, with con- sequent lowering of small streams, was responsible for the scant run of pink salmon. But when August rains raised the stream levels, without doing much for the sal mon runs, the evidence seemed to be pretty clear that it was just another light year for the pinks.
 Even-numbered years have been poor cycle years for pinks in re- cent years. The 1852 drop-off is a repetition of 1850.
 Some optimistic fisheries men still were hoping for an 11th hour run, and a possible season exten- sion, but CHI. Baltzo, acting re- gional director of the Fish and Wildlife Service, said the outlook is not good.
 The season closes in this area at the end of this week.
 Albert M. Day, FWS director; was due here for the critical closing period. Clarence Rhode, regional FWS director, was re- turning from an Arctic trip for an end-of-season conference.
 Rhode has described the 1852 season, prior to the late rains, as having the least rainfall in Is years.

RENO, New, (P) = Democratic presidential candidate Adlai Stew enson today won the support of Sen. Pat McCarran D-Nev), who seldom has been a friend of the Truman administration.
 McCarran told the Associated Press in an interview he joined Stevenson packers after receiving a letter from the Illinois governor saying he was never member of Americans for Democratic Ac- ton and is not captive of it or any other organization.
 The ADA is a Democratic group leaning toward Roosevelt New Deal policies. Stevenson's cam paign manager, Wilson Wyatt, was once a member. .,
 The 76-year-old Nevada Sen ator hitherto has withheld en- dorsement of Stevenson because of what McCarran called indica- tionS that the Democratic stand ard bearer subscribed to policies of the ADA.

ATA Plans US. Market For AlaSka's SeafOOd

WASHINGTON, (P)-The head of non scheduled airline has outlined plans to develop mar ket in the United States for AL aska seafood.
 Amos E. Heacock, of Seattle, president of Air Transport Asso- ciateS, Inc, told Civil Aero nautics Board examiner such a program would be aimed at gen. erating southbound air freight traffic from Alaska. ATA runs round-trip passenger freight ser vice from Seattle to Anchorage and Fairbanks. However, much of the business is northbound. Very little freight moves south to the States.
 Heacock, who testified in a year-old CAB investigation of air line rates in the Pacific North west and Alaska, said plans call for creation of a new firm - Air borne Perishables, Inc. - to de- velop the markets through pro- motion and advertising campaigns in the Midwest and in the East.
