Manila Guard Runs Amok !,
Killing Two at Palace
BY the Assoeioisd Press

MANILA, Aug, 23.-Gun shots
echoed through Malacanan gov
eminent palace yesterday as a
presidential guard ran amok,
killing two fellow guards and
wounding three others.
Pfc. Bartolome Estipular, Is,
a former mental patient, shot
his comrades with a Garand
rifle in the presidential guard
battalion barracks on the palace
grounds. He then turned the
weapon on himself, and was
reported in critical condition at
a hospital.
President Ramon MagSaysay
was not at the palace at the time
of the shooting.
A similar incident occurred in
1949 when a palace guard killed
two colleagues before he was
subdued.

tycoon, was also interested In
uprooting Communists in the
United States. He had written
q pamphlet entitled Definition
Of Communism" which Mr.. Cohn
admired. and he. in turn, adj
mired Mr.. COINS intelligence
and Anti-C Communist drive.
Early In 1858. the pair got
their first taste Of big headlines
when they made an l8-day on
the-spot investigation of the
United States information Serv-
ice in Europe. One Government
Official later fred called them
"Junketeering gumshoes" and
some highly readable newspaper
copy came out Of I q reported
fight In which they swatted each
other with magazines.
When they returned to Amer
lea Mr.. Cohn and Mr.. Schine
worked together on the Voice Of
America investigation and other
bconinittee projects.
In November, 1853, however,
the partnership was interrupted
when Mr.. Schine became Pvt.
Sehine Of the United States
Army. Before and after Mr..
Schine's induction there were q
series OF phone calls and con-
ferences regarding his status that
were to become the basis for the
Army Mccarthy hearings.
Senator Mccarthy and Mr..
Cohn admittedly sought q COM
mission for Pvt. Schine and spe-
cial treatment for him. They
asserted that their requests
were perfectly normal and
above board. The Army insisted
that they were examples Of
highly improper pressure.
Charges and counter charges
between Senator Mccarthy and
Mr.. Cohn on the one hand and
Army Secretary Stevens and
Army Counsel John Adams on
the other resulted in the famous
S6-day hearing which ended
June II.

members had agreed on this
proposal.
However, those supporting the
Potter resolution disputed this
and said they would insist on a
vote on the two suggested pro-
cedures.
Senator Mundt said he didn't
think Mr.. Cohn was forced to
resign. He said Mr.. Cohn had
told him he had wanted to quit
the committee for about a year
but had been unable to find an
appropriate time. He added
that the young New Yorker
thought there was no future for
him with the subcommittee and
that he wished to enter private
law practice.

Senator Mundt told reporters
as a luncheon meeting Of the
subcommittee began that he
would vote to retain Mr.. Carr
as staff director.
The South Dakota Republican
added that he also was ready
to vote on two staff investiga-
tors who have been denied De-
tense Department security clear

Thomas w. La Venia, a former
Secret Service agent. Senator
Mundt implied, although he did
not say so definitely, that he
would vote against confirming
the two.

too many others from the Nc
earthly staff.
Senator Met lellan of Arkansas,

left specific proxies for his vote

Spencer Sees Merit
In Transit's S Shift Of
Glen Echo Ownership

Commissioner Samuel Spencer
last night said that "there is a
good deal to be said" for Capital
Transit Co.'s transfer Of the own
ership Of Glen Echo amusement
park to its stockholders.
Mr.. Spencer said he felt there
was no reason why Glen Echo
should be continued as a finan-
call part of Capital Transit, since
it was actually a separate enter
prise.
The commissioner also said he
didn't think there was anything
improper from a legal stand
point in the transit company's
action.
Mr.. Spencer was asked about
the subject of the weekly "Com-
missioner'S Report" broadcast
over radio station WWDC. Cap
ital Transit transferred owner
ship of SIS million Of property,
including Glen Echo park, to its
stockholders on Friday without
informing the Public Utilities
Commission, which is studying
the company's financial affairs.
Capital Transit currently is
barred from payment Of any
stock dividends until the PUG
study is completed. Mr.. Spencer
said he didn't think the Glen
Echo transaction had any rela-
tionship to the stock matter.
On another matter. the COM
missioner said he hadn't known
anything about a recent extern
sion of no-parking ban until
midnight in spaces reserved for
District employees behind the
District building. He said he
couldn't see much justification
for the change and would look
into the matter Of reversing it
Citizens have complained the
ban needlessly ties up parking
space they customarily have used
In non-working hours.
