Investigate Mystery Death of Heir To Million Dollars

CHICAGO, R Authorities to- day intensified their investigation of the mysterious death of the 20- year-old heir to a million dollars after being told the young man revised his will recently to make his fiancee principal beneficiary and had expressed doubt he would live to come into his own inheritance.
 Montgomery Ward Thorne was found dead in his studio apart ment Saturday and Coroner Wal ter McCarron said there were four needle marks on his arms. The coroner said there was no evidence Thorne was a user of narcotics.
 The coroner has ordered an analysis of vital organs, which he said may take three weeks.
 Jay Slough, who said he had been young Thorne's lawyer for some time, told detectives that Thorne less than 10 days ago had changed his will making Miss Maureen Ragan, IS, chief bene- ficiary and executor.
 The police quoted Slough as saying Thorne, grandson of for mer president of Montgomery Ward and Co.,, was afraid he would never live to collect his inheritance. He asked me to as sure that there would be very thorough investigation if he died"
 Thorne's body, clad only in shorts, was found lying on his bed when Miss Ragan asked the landlord to open the locked apart ment. She had gone there, she told police, because young Thorne failed to keep a swimming date Saturday.

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., R- The LIN. Security Council called unanimously last night for a cease fire in Guatemala and for all LIN. members to withhold aid from the fighting forces there.
 The action came after the So- viet Union cast it's 60th veto in council history on behalf of Guate- mala's leftist government. The veto defeated motion to refer the Guatemalan complaint of ag- gression to the Western Hemi- spheres regional organization, the Organization of American states.
 US. Delegate Henry Cabot Lodge IT,, council president for June, said the Soviet veto show ed obviously the Russians have designs; on the Americas. He warned angrily:
 s "I say to the Soviet delegate: Stay out of the Western Hemi- sphere. Don't try to start your plans and conspiracies here."
 The cease-fire call was voted after Guatemala's delegate charg- ed neighboring Honduras and Nicaragua, backed by the United States and the United Fruit Co.,, had connived in an aggression against Guatemala's territory by mercenary expeditionary forces.
 Lodge hotly defended his gov ernment and denied the charges. He said information available to the United States strongly sug- gests that the situation does not involve aggression, but revolt of Guatenalans against Guatemal- ans."

Federal Property to Alaska Without Cost Bill Would Give Surplus
From the Office of the Governor

JUNEAU Rep. John Saylor R-Pa has introduced a bill to authorize the transfer of surplus federal property to the Territory of Alaska without cost. Governor Heintzlegnan worked with Inter for Dept. officials and Saylor on drafting the bill earlier this year.
 The bill would make available to the territory all federal prop erty in Alaska that has been or may be designated as surplus by federal agencies. The term ''prop- erty" as defined in the bill in- cludes asll real and personal fed eral property with the exception of the public domain, certain na- val vessels and federal records.
 Heintzleman said Saturday he believes the bill may be extreme ly helpful in securing equipment for such agencies as the highway engineer, the Dept. of Civil De- fense, the National Guard and other branches of the territorial governmest.
 Under the terms of the bill the territory could acquire without cost such property as the Juneau support, the buildings and equip ment used for oil exploration in the arctic and other items which otherwise might be disposed Of at public sale.

LIN Calls For Cease-fire In Guatemala Where First Battle Is Yet to be Fought

TEGUCIGULAP, Honduras, R) President Jacobo Arbenz Gus man of Guatemala proclaimed martial law throughout his in- vaded country today as his Com munist-backed government mobil- ized for a showdown battle with anti-red rebels.
 Insurgent leaders claimed their forces were pushing ahead in a three-pronged drive aimed at key rail and road communications in the southern part of the country.
 The martial law decree was an- nounced last night, following a government appeal for all private cars to be turned in for use in moving troops. Reports from Guatemala said the decisive phase of the battle for that neighboring Central American nation may come within few hours.
 Associated Press correspondent Jack Rutledge, in Guatemala City, quoted Guatemalan army officers as saying no field action had yet been fought. They added, how ever, that battle could not be delayed much longer.

Six Convicts Grab Visitors And Use Them As Shields In Attempted Getaway

LANSING, Kas., R-Shielding themselves with six terrified pri- son visitors, six desperate con- victs tried to force their way out of the Kansas State Prison yester- day.
 A veteran guard was killed, and one of the hostages and two of the convicts were wounded in bursts of gunfire before the group surrendered in the administra- ton building.
 The convicts were armed with crude .22 pistols and six knives, all made within the prison walls.
 The six men rushed into the visitors room, where about 15 visitors were talking with pri- soners. They seized the hostages, including two children, and rush ed to the administration building.
 Fred Kenagu, 58, an unarmed guard supervisor with 15 years of service, encountered the group at the administration building door and was shot to death.

Doctor Claims New Ulcer Treatment Allows Unlimited Diet

SAN FRANCISCO, R- Claims that nearly 900 out of 1000 ulcer patients had been treated successfully with pills and at the same time were allowed an un- limited diet including liquor and tobacco were made by Cleve- land physician in an exhibit to the American Medical Associa- ton.
 Dr. E. A. Marshall said this was done by giving pills every hour and sometimes oftener for the first 16 hours of treatment. Dr. Marshall is director of the medi- cine department of Huron Road Hospital, Cleveland.
 He made the pills out of several conventional anti-ulcer chemicals, including anti-acids, sedatives and dilating agents.
 On this treatment, Dr. Marshall asserted, the vast majority of patients were able to go ahead with an unlimited diet.

ster who brought the first Mayflow
er to school. During his long walks
he had kept sharp eye open for
a Mayflower. This flower was the
final sure sign that spring had come
to stay. All his schoolmates would
admire the Mayflower, which, of
course, would have the place of hon.
or on Teachers desk.
True, the vase was probably one
of those tiny inkWells with which
old-time school desks were equipped.
For the furry gray Mayflower buds,
stemless, grew directly out of the
ground when they first appeared,
late in April or early in May.
Later, the stem and the heavenly
blue, gold-centered, star-shaped
flower appeared. Soon the rolling
slopes were blue with deicately
scented Mayflowers. These made
beautiful bouquets, though it must
be admitted that by the time they
were tall enough to make easily
held bouquets, they also had to be
blown free of small black bugs con-
gregating in the yellow centers.
Mayflowers, like many another
common and well-loved flower, went
by several names. They were often
called crocuses. Some people called
them passion flowers, which 1 be-
ieve was a corruption of basque
flowers, which is supposed to be the
correct name, or so 1 have heard.
Whatever the correct name, howev-
er, they were easily the most well
come of all the wild flowers.
Next came some tiny white flow
ers, the name of which I do not
know. Then, in rapid succession ar
rived the buttercups, yellow violets,
blue violets and wild sweet peas"
as they were called. These resembled
sweet peas, and were a beautiful
deep yellow. The ''sweet peas" braid
ed into lovely garlands to wear in
the hair, or around ones neck, or to
hang in schoolhouse windows.
1t wasn't long before there was a
mixed bouquet of bluebells, rooster
heads" a red-leafed, red-stemmed
flower with flower buds that never
really opened, also some lovely, but
stemless, white flowers. All these
grew on the slopes, first to be cleared
of snow.
By this time the snowbanks in
the coulees were gone, and the chill
had left the wind. Bluebells and
long-stemmed buttercups appeared
in the coulees. A tall white flower,
about half an inch across, with a yell
low center, also appeared. think it
is called the May apple. Anyway, it,
too, made lovely garlands. 1t does
not seem to grow in Western
Montana.
Late in June came the queen OF
prairie wildflowers, the wild rose
1t grew just about anywhere, in col
orS varying from almost white to
almost red. In plowed fields il
seemed to grow larger. 1t was, OF
course, always heavenly fragrant
