Trigger Burke
Found Guilty,
aces Chair

NEW YORK. Dec. Or.
Elmer (Trigger) Burke, 38-year-
old gunman. was convicted last
night Of first-degree murder for
killing friend in q Manhattan
bar three years ago.
An all-male jury found Burke
guilty after celebrating for SO
minutes at the end Of a 23-day;
trial. Although sentencing was
deferred for two weeks, the YER
dict carries a mandatory death
penalty.
Boston authorities, who linked
Burke with the spectacular ST.
10000 Drinks holdup in 1850,
sought unsuccessfully to have
him turned over to them instead
of standing trial for the New
York killing.
One of Burke's four court
appointed attorneys announced
the murder decision would be
appealed. This was just a bar
room brawl," he said.
Stands in Shadow of Chair
II the verdict stands, Burke
will be sent to the Sing Sing
electric chair.
The defense argued that Burke
was innocent because of insanity
and claimed the State failed to
prove he knew the nature of the
alleged crime on July %, 1852.
On that date Burke's pal, Ed
ward Poochy) Walsh, %, was
shot to death.
Burke testified at the trial
that he was too drunk to re-
member even having gone to the
bar with Walsh.
The State ridiculed the in
sanity plea and called Walsh's
death IAN execution. an asSas-
sination of one member of the
underworld by another, a cold
FLOODED assassination"
| Burke showed no emotion as
the verdict was given.
Took Witness Stand
! His decision to take the stand
in his own defense enabled the
State to bring out his lengthy
police record. After the verdict,
he told his lawyers he felt the
jury had held his reputation
against him.
New York police also link
Burke with several other slay-
Iings and have tried to connect
him with a $305,00O Queens.

Senator johnston also had
high praise for Federal civil
servants. declaring: They are
doing an outstanding job"
The dinner in the Sheraton
Park Hotel honored 10 Federal
career employees selected by the
nonpartisan league for outstand-
ing service. Look Magazine CO.
operated with the league in hold
ing the dinner.
Vital to Free Government
1T is my firm opinion said
Mr.. Dewey, that our civil serv-
ice systems in the Federal Gov
eminent. the various States and
IN our communities are the most
important single factor in the
effective operation of free gov
eminent in our country.
II will go further. I do not
believe it is possible to operate
modern government successfully
without the high quality of our
civil service. Let me add with
equal emphasis that our career
foreign service is one of the
most vital assets of the free
world in the long struggle to
win the cold war"
Mr.. Dewey said the career
service could stand improvement,
and he offered a number of sug-
gestions.
One would permit q greater
duidity of movement among en-
ployeS in Government, whereby
top careerists could transfer from
one department to another when
their services were required.
Fayors Oral Tests
Another proposal was that
more oral examinations be used
in promoting and filling top
career jobs.
ION the basis Of my own ex-
perience in Government, l am
convinced that the written ex-
animation is totally inadequate
for the selection of high-level
personnel in civil service" Mr..
Dewey said. Il know too many
people who can stay up nights
and learn all the answers and
write them down, but who can't
get along with fellow employees,
to say nothing of dealing with
the public"
Senator johnson urged that
Congress and political leaders
Immediately cease their inter-
ference" with the Federal career
service and urged the Executive
Branch to become more bold
and vigorous" in making the
career service more effective and
stable.
The South Carolinian said the
10 careerists honored last night
"are but typical of thousands
of career employees scattered
throughout the land-at home
and abroad-in all branches Of
our Government service"
Senator Johnston also declared
that Congress should not inter-
fere with the stating of Federal
agencies.
There is no sound reason for
selecting men and women OF
party affiliation to staff Gov
eminent jobs below the policy

bub came very close to home
last week when six-year-Old
Jackie Curling, son of MIR. and
Mrs. John Curling, Ardennes
Avenue, contracted buIbar
polio.
Young Jackie, a student at
st. Mary's, was taken to the
National Institutes of Health
on May rs where his condition
remained critical until May 80
when his illness took an encOur-
aging upward turn, although
one side of. his throat appears
to be paralyzed.
On that day Mrs. Curling
was able to return home for the
first time and she happily re-
ported that Jackie's freckles
were standing out again and
he was asking for "pesghetti'
which indicated he was on the
road to recovery. The hum
dreds of kindly phone calls
which flooded into the Curling
home were a source of great
comfort to Jackie's family.
Mrs. Curling reported that
the NH doctors were unable to
trace her sons illness to any
certain source although the
yOungster had been given his
first polio shot.
