Ex-COnvict Killed After l6 Hour Crime Spree

GREEN RIVER, Wyo., R-An convict who killed two men and wounded two others was shot to death Friday night in house where he menaced a woman and her two children.
 A charge from a sawed-off shotgun ended the life and the 16-hour crime spree of Melvin H. Gray, 27. Just before he staggered and fell dead Gray yelled: I'm dead, dammit-come and get me" "
 w. G. Sherman, special agent for the Union Pacific Railroad, who was in the cordon of armed officers surrounding the House, fired the blast through a window.
 The killings by Gray touched off one of the most intensive man. hunts in southwestern Wyoming in years. During his flight from officers, Gray held a 17-year-Old boy as hostage but later let him go unharmed.
 Coming to this railroad town of 3,187, Gray took refuge in the home of Mrs. Guy KalivaS after a running gunfght through the rail- yards and nearby streets.
 While the desperado menaced Mrs. Kalivas and two children, one of a score of officers encircl- ing the house called and distract Cd his attention. Sherman seized the opportunity to sneak unseen to front window and fire. The blast caught the killer in the chest. He stumbled into an adjoining bedroom and officers found him dead seconds later.
 One of Gray's pursuers, Deputy Sheriff Ed Phillips of nearby Rock Springs, died of his wounds Friday. Frank Kulinsky, Rem merer town marshal, was wound ed seriously after Gray diSarmed him and two companions at From tier, Wyo In that same fight, a Kemmerer garage owner was killed and another man wounded.

Nome, Coldest in Alaska, Outdone in Pacific Northwest

SEATTLE, Rt-If any of those persons who stumbled out into the early morning cold in Oregon and Washington thought it could n't be colder even in Alaska well, they were right.
 Alaska points which report to the United States Weather Bu- reau generally were warmer than most Pacific Northwest points. As an example, the coldest reported point in Alaska was Nome, that Wind-swept town on the Boring Sea, where the high Friday was Is degrees and the low was 4 below
 But that wasn't as cold as FL lensburg, which had a low of ' degrees below zero, the coldest reported point in either of the two states.
 Even normally warm Seattle was colder than either Anchor age, Fairbanks, Juneau or Kodiak in Alaska Washington's largest city had high of 29 degrees and a low of l4. Fairbanks, which is accustomed to lows of 40 to 50 below zero, had a low of only 25 degrees above and it warmed up to an unseasonally high 32 de- grees.
 Other cold points in the Pacific Northwest were Baker with 4 degrees below zero, and Spokane with a 2 degrees above.

INTERPRETER NEEDED

On the thlrty-SeVenth anniversary Of the Soviet army and navy Marshal Georgi K. Zhukov newly appointed defense minister of the Khrushchev- Bulganin regime, and the with whom General Eisenhower once said he could do business warned the Russian forces against US aggression
 In order of the day, Zhukov charged "the ag- gressve forces of the impealstc counrse headed by US monopolists' with openly preparing new war against the Soviet Union" He assured his vast mand that al necessary measures to the stead fast security of the motherand being taken by the Communist party and the government, and warned his fighters that they must always be ready" to de- fend their country.
 Obviously, such anniversary in Russia calls for rousing sabreratting message, with speech in the same vein. But the recent upheaval in the Kremln makes it equally obvious that this could be more than Russian ow-dressing The economy of the USSR is plainly out-ofjoint The people are getting hungry and there isn't enough food in sight Georg Malenkovs confession that he made of things appears we'll founded And before now dictaors have plunged their countries into to prevent internal collapse
 There is also room for speculation as to whether Zhukhov may not be more interested in defending his country than supporting the Party even to the possibility of defending his country from the Com munist Party!
 Or perhaps it is merely that the recent praise of President Eisenhower has been embarrassing-to the point of placing him under suspicion.

Everywhere it was obvious that
the little Jewish community had
made place for itself within the

readers and read the latest and

of the librarians. Many. of them
were graduates of the best uni

on to enlist in every major civic
cause. They were patrons of the
arts. Both Mr.. Edward S. Shorter,
director of the Columbus Museum
of Arts and Crafts and Mrs. John

spoke with enthusiasm and
sense of deep indebtedness of the
contribution made by the Jews of
Columbus to the cultural life of
that city. The late Simon Schwab
