Chief of Vatican Guard
Shot by Ex-SoIdier

VATICAN CITY. April 8
(AP).-Col. Robert Nunlist.
commander of the Pope's Swiss
Guards, was shot and sounded
today by a disgruntled former
guardSman.
The eX-guardsman, Adolf
Rucker, then shot himself in the
head. He is in grave condition.
The shootings, unprecedented
in the colorful history of the
Swiss Guards, caused turmoil at
the Vatican.
At first there was tight Sc
crecy over the case. The head Of
the Vatican press office, DR..
Luciano Casimiri, responded to
questions by saying that the
matter was too delicate" for
him to discuss.
At the Rome Hospital, where
both wounded men were taken.
it was learned that Col. Nun
list apparently was not in
danger of his life.
He was hit twice. One bullet
grazed his neck. The other
lodged in his back. An opera
ton removed the bullet from
his back.
Pieced together, this was the
report Of the shooting, as un-
derstood to have happened:
Rucker. said to have been

several months ago. had re-
peatedly protested. Two weeks
ago. he returned to Rome and
asked to be received by the
Swiss Guard commander. He
wrote repeatedly. Yesterday he
received word that he would be-
received.
He came to the Vatican to-
day and encountered Col. Num-

cation to attempt to track
down the offending food.
However, DR.. James Shea OF

on the train may have been to
blame. He reported locating
one woman who said she had
eaten the turkey dinner but
had drunk no water: she did
not get sick. B & o sent SAM

quarters. A heated discussion
developed and Rucker whipped
out a pistol.
Another report received at
the Vatican said, however. that
Rucker did not shoot himself
but was wounded in the head
by Col. Nunlist, who hit him
with a broom.
A third report said Rucker
wounded himself twice in the
face, but that the wounds were
superficial.
Col. Nunlist is 40. He took
command Of the guards June
Is. 1857, under appointment
by Pope Plus XII. The Swiss
Guards were organized in 1906
by Pope Julian II.

Meany Attacks
'InactiOn' on
Job|ess Laws
Pressure Urged;
Mitchell Praises
Government Moves
BY LEE M. COIN
star stan writer

AFL-CIO President George
Meany called today for grass
roots pressure to reverse the
Eisenhower administrations
"do-nothing" policies in the
face Of "tragic" unemployment.
Secretary of Labor Mitchell.
however, told a mass labor rally
at the National Guard Armory
that the administration is
pushing effective programs to
put the Nation back to work.
He predicted unemployment
will drop from the current level
Of 1890. 900 to 3 million or less
by October.
Mr.. Meany greeted a similar
forecast during February with
the remark that the Secretary
was talking through his hat"
At today's rally. Mr.. Mitchell
promised that I'm eat that hat
you said was talking through
ION the steps Of the Labor De-
partment if the prediction
proves false.
"PiOus Promises" Denounced
Walter P. Reuther, president
Of the United Auto Workers,
followed Mr.. Mitchell to the
rostrum to denounce "pious
platitudes and promises" He
accused the administration Of
colossal indifference" to un-
employment and declared "the
most serious deficit in Wash
ington is not in the budget, it's
the deficit in leadership"
The huge rally of unem-
ployed workers and union off,
Gals was orderly. Aside from
a few hecklers, Mr.. Mitchell:
was received politely. Delegates
even interrupted his speech
with scattered applause.
Mr.. Reuther stole the show
as far as audience response was
concerned.
JAW delegates apparently
constituted the biggest bloc in
the Armory, and the audience
cheered wildly as Mr.. Reuther
drove home his barbs at the
administration.
Program Proposed
The union leaders empha-
sized a program of liberalized
unemployment compensation,
increased minimum wages, and
greatly increased Fe deralI
spending to promote economic |
growth and thus provide jobs.
They also insisted that wage
increases must provide the pur-
chasing power needed to con-
sumo expanding production.
In addition to these standard
demands. Mr.. Reuther injected
a new one. He called for "a
temporary moratorium" on in
statllment debt payments by
unemployed workers.

IRS Blue Book
Out With New
Tax Filing Tips

The Governments annual
best seller now is available.
It's the 1860 edition of the
Internal Revenue Services Blue
Book entitled Your Federal
Income Tax"
Not to be confused with the
regular white book that ac-
companies tax forms that are
mailed to the taxpayer annual
ly after the Christmas holi-
days, the Blue Book is a l44-
page document and can be
, bought for 40 cents from the
Superintendent of Documents,
Government Printing Office, or
. a District Director of Internal
Revenue.
More than half a million
copies of this authoritative and
comprehensive manual were
sold last year-several times
more than any other Govern
ment publication - and IRIS
predicts the sale will approach
the million mark this year.
Covers New Changes
The 1860 edition has Is more
pages of explanation and il
lustration in order to give ade-
quate coverage to the many
changes in tax law, rulings and
regulations.
A f1lled-in sample return is
at the front of the book and
is keyed to the page numbers
where detailed explanations
can be found. This gives the
harassed taxpayer a quick and
easy method of finding answers
to their annual problem.
Most taxpayers do not realize
that they can appeal from the
collectors tax rulings. These
rights of appeal are fully ex-
planned in a new chapter added
to this years edition Of the
Blue Book.
OF Special Importance
In all. there are AZ chapters.
There's a four-page chapter on
dividends and interest which |
points out that certain dividend |
income receives preferred tax
treatment. This section is
especially important this year
since Commissioner Dana Lat
ham announced recently his
agents have been told to crack
down on dividends and interest |
to pull an additional half to
one million dollars in taxes on |
dividends previously unreported
into the Treasury.
The packet of forms sent out
by IRIS after Christmas will in
clude a single page sheet for
the first time. 1t is form 104OW.
1t can be used by anyone
whose income from sources
other than salary does not ex-
coed 5000 and will require only
simple, addition and subtrac-
ton" according to IRIS.
The two forms now in use
are 1040, a long form, and |
l040A. a short form. The latter
is used by those whose incomes
are less than $4,000.

THE Congress reafhrnns the principle and declares that
the States and local communities have ard must retain con-
troll over the primary responsibility for public education. The
national interests requires, however, that the Federal Govern
ment give assistance to education for programs which are
important to our defense.
To meet the present educational emergency requires addi-

this Act to provide substantial assistance in various forms to
individuals, and to States and their subdivisions, in order to

meet the national defense needs Of the United States"
This is a call to arms and all Virgin Islanders must rally
to this call. Wehave in the past mad sacrifices and given help

served in the Armed Services Of the United States and saw
action on many fronts. They gave a very good account Of
themselves and history will record this Virgin Islands COM
tribution and show that we did assume. our responsibilities as
citizens Of our great nation. We have made other ~contribu-
tions which will also be recorded in history, and that is the
way true Democracy is functoning in these Islands. We have
demonstrated to the world a living example of-hoW all kinds
