Miner Killed When
Buried By Coal Slide

ANCHORAGE, R- An Alaska
coal miner, Herbert A. Pierce, 43,
died shortly after being dug from
under a coal slide Thursday after
noon at the Evan Jones mine near
Palmer.
A second miner, William Suisse,
was hospitalized in Palmer with
shock and bruises suffered when
the 80 tons of coal trapped him
and Pierce.
Wylie Robinson, inspector for

apparently caught Pierce bending
over, smothering him. Fellow
miners dig him out but he died
while being carried from the
mine.

indicate that the huckSterS who

They're making worsted jer-

not yet in the lower price range,
but should be before long.
We hasten to apply balm to

manufacturers. In emphasizing
the social and business value of
wearing neat Well-pressed clothes

In giving us clothes that clean 1

Clio Urges Approval
OF D. T.. Home Rule Bill

The Congress of Industrial Or
CARNATIONS yesterday urged the
Senate Judiciary Subcommittee
on the District of Columbia to
approve a home rule bill for the
District.
In a letter to Representative
Barrett, Republican, of Wyo-
ming, chairman of the subcom-
mittee. the CLOS position on the
Case-Kefauver Bill was outlined.
Robert Oliver, co-ordinator of
C1O legislative activities and as
sistant to CIO President Walter
P. Reuther, signed the letter.
Mr.. Oliver said that the 1887
Constitutional Convention gave
Congress exclusive jurisdiction
over the District, simply to
avoid the conflict Of State and
Federal power which might arise
if the Federal Capital was To-
Gated within the limits of one of
the States"
The C1O feels the Case-Ke-
fauver bill does not 60 far enough
in establishing local self-gov-
ernment for the District, Mr..
Oliver added, but described it as
Q step forward"

PRINCIPAL Returns to Te0chinq-
This Time in Darkest Africa

will get a bonus of 300 British
pounds a year. Her pay will be
considerably less than her prin-
cipal's salary however.
But despite the fact that she
hoped to get assigned to Eng
land originally, Kramer's prin-
cipal is excited about the prof.
ect.
The Gold Coast is being en-
couraged to develop self-govern-
ment. and Miss Crook is inter-
ested in getting a glimpse of this
process. She also is looking for
ward to seeing her new school
and finding out what the coun-
try and people are like.
Even more than that. she said,
she is happy at the idea of get
ting back to teaching again.
She taught mathematics and
general science at the old Powell
Junior High for II years before
going to Kramer 10 years ago as
assistant principal. She has a
masters degree, incidentally,
and is an alumna of Smith.
Officials Surprised.
The overseas trip-her first
will include a three-month stop
in England for orientation at the
University of London, and she is
anticipating that eagerly, too.
School officials were a bit sur
prised when Miss Crooks request
for leave came in. They've never
given a principal permission for
this kind of project before.
But Miss Crooks fellow prin-
cipals banded together in support
of her plea, and she not only got
permission herself, but officials
agreed on a new policy of allow
ing others to do the same if
future opportunities arise.
John M. Fletcher, who lost
principals berth when Eliot Ju-
nior High was transferred to
Negroes a year ago, will fill in
for her at Kramer until her re-
turn.
A vocational teacher from Bal
timore and woman from Cali
fornia, who also teaches science
and math are signed up for the
Gold Coast, too, although not
for the same school. So Miss
Crook won't be completely iso-
lated from reminders of home.
AS for getting back in the
teaching routine, she declared:
algebra and plane geometry
won't be hard. If it's trig, I'll
have to do some boning up. But
if it's solid geometry, I'll die"

Mail Clerk Staying
Is Believed the Work
OF 0fNon-Professiona|

Investigators today pursued
the theory that the slain Penta-
gon mail clerk was the victim of
one mans rage rather than the
target of a professional killer.
Supporting this theory was
the method of the slayer of John
S. johnson, colored, 33, of 1912
Shepherd street NV, whose
body was found crammed in the
trunk of his sleek sedan on a
Pentagon parking lot Tuesday.
Not A Professional Way.
A professional killer, it was ex-
planned, would have slain his VIC
tim quickly with one shot or a
fatal knife thrust. Instead, Mr..
johnson was beaten repeatedly
and savagely about the head. The
18 blows inflicted on him indi-
Gated rage, investigators said.
Several possible motives were
being checked by FBI agents.
Tips from a number of sources
including prisoners caught in
numbers ring round-up-indi-
Gated Mr.. johnson may have run
a numbers operation and failed
to pay a winner. Other inform
ers limited at a romantic involve
ment or a loan shark business.
Case Still Wide Open.
Both police and the FBI have
received a number of hints, tips
and rumors, all of which have
to be run out. The case was
described as still wide-open."
FBI agents and Pentagon po-
lice are questioning all of Mr..
Johnson's coworkers in the mail
room, as well as his personal
friends.
While the Pentagon grounds
are being searched for possible
clues, it was emphasized the
search for the killer has not mar
rowed down to the Pentagon
area. Equal emphasis is being
put on the vicinity of Chapel
Oaks, Md, where Mr.. johnson
was seen last Thursday. He nad
been missing from his home and
job from Thursday until last
Tuesday, when an odor from his
sedan led to the discovery Of his
body.

House Unit Reports
Measures Without
Recommendations
By Harold B. Roqers

Three different bills for a nom
voting delegate from the District
in Congress will be before the
House District Committee for
action at its next meeting, prob
ably next week.
The legislation was reported
to the full committee for it's
consideration at special meet
ing of a District subcommittee
yesterday in the Capitol. This
was announced by William N.
Mcleod, District committee
clerk.
The three bills are: a Senate
passed measure, sponsored by
Chairman Case of the Senate
District Committee, for an elect
ed, non-voting delegate in the
House; a similar House bill by
Representative Auchincloss, Re-
publican, of New Jersey, and a
bill by Representative Abernethy,
Democrat, of Mississippi, for an
elected non-voting District dele
gate in the Senate.
No tiOns.
Action of the judiciary SUBJ
committee, headed by Represen-
tatlve O'Hara, Republican, of
Minnesota, was only to forward
the three measures to the full
committee, without any recon-
mendation. This leaves it up to
the full committee to make its
own decision with no advice from
the subcommittee, Mr.. Mcleod
said.
An air of unaccountable Sec
recy appeared to surround the
meeting of the subcommittee,
which met without advance
notice to the press at 10:30 am.
yesterday in the Capitol Building.
This was while the House was
handling the Defense Depart
ment appropriation bill on the
floor. Subcommittee members
reached afterwards were re-
luctant. to discuss what hap
pened.
The O'Hara subcommittee. it
was learned. however, did dis
cuSs the subject of home rule,
but took no action on the only
bill before it calling for a lin
tied form of self government for
Washington. This measure was
introduced by Representative
Klein, Democrat, of New York.
Bill Bottled Up.
Previous Senate-passed legis-
lation for Washington home rule
has been bottled up in the
House District Committee.
Meantime, a Washington home
rule bill is headed for action
soon in the Senate. A Senate
District subcommittee has COM
pleted hearings on the measure
sponsored by 80 Senator's. Sub
committee Chairman Barrett,
Republican. of Wyoming predicts
favorable action by his unit and
by the full District Committee.
He hopes for Senate approval.
but this is believed to depend on
the crowded program of the Sem
ate which is rushing towards adj
journment July 81.
