Anti-F ilibuster
Fight In Senate
Certain of Defeat
WASHINGTON, (/P) — A small
but determined band of senators
Saturday waited a chance to stage
a losing battle for revising rules
that allow senators to talk a
measure ter death.
Commonly known as a filibus
ter, the tactic uses the Senate’s
cherished tradition of free and
unlimited debate.
Defeat of the effort appeared
certain through a combination of
most Republicans, under the lead
ership of Sen. Robert A. Taft of
Ohio, plus most Southern Demo
crats, who usually follow Sen.
Richard Russell of Georgia.
It is this coalition that has been
the actual working majority in
the Senate for the past several
years and is expected to make
major decisions under the new
administration.
There were strong indications
that some of the sponsors of the
“anti-filibuster” fight were wag
ing a skirmish just to demon
strate publicly who controls the
Senate.
And most senators agreed that
the issue was decided Friday
when the convergence of all Re
publican senators by a voice vote,
termed overwhelming, rejected
the initial plan for attacking ex
isting Senate rules.

Wilson Brothers
Die, Maintaining
Their Innocence
WALLA WALLA, Wash., (JP)—
Utah and Turman Wilson died on
the gallows early Saturday for
the 1 9 5 0 kidnap - slaying of a
young girl, but before their bodies |
could be cut down, the Washing
ton State Prison was thrown into
a turmoil by a telegraphic hoax
that purportedly spared them.
For a few brief, hectic mo
ments it appeared that fate had
played a tragic trick on the
Camas, Wash., brothers who four
times had cheated the hangman.
But the telegram was quickly
found to be false, and a probe
was started to track down the
sender.
The Wilsons, Turman, 26, and
Utah, 22, went to their death sto
ically.
To the end they maintained
their innocence in the slaying of
Joann Dewey, 18, who was ab
ducted from a Vancouver, Wash.;
street March 19, 1950. A week
later her nude, raped body was
found in the Wind River, which
empties into the Columbia River
about 50 miles to the east.
The hangings marked the end
of a case which set a state record
for exhausting legal resources to
spare their lives. The brothers
were granted four stays of exe
cution by various courts, up to
the U.S. Supreme Court, and. by
Gov. Langlie as their attorneys
sought to gain a new trial or
clemency.
Utah and Turman were con
victed on strong circumstantial
evidence. A beer bcrttle found
near the spot where the Dewey
girl was kidnaped bore Utah’s
fingerprints.
The brothers were arrested a
few days later in Sacramento,
Calif. They maintained through
out their trial they were in a
Portland theater the night of the
i abduction.

Cave Collapses And
Kills Two Youths
PHOENIX, Ariz., (£) — A hide
out cave scooped out of sandy
soil near the dry Salt River bed
south of Phoenix became a tomb
for two youths.
Gerald Groessl, 12, and Rodney
Bynum, 16, were killed when the
deep tunnel collapsed Friday.
Frantic efforts of neighbors to
save them failed.
A third youth, Jack Vaughn,
14, had just carried a bucket of
dirt out of the deep tunnel when
the walls gave way. He was un
harmed.
“I noticed the sides seemed a
little weak,” he said. “I told the
others they had better come out
and they just laughed.”
Moments later the cave col
lapsed.

FOR MORE GO IN THE SNOW
IN WINTER DRIVING the modern car will far outperform those
of pre-war years. But for top results it requires a lot more adjusting
than simply adding anti-freeze, according to R. J. S. Pigott, president,
American Society of Mechanical* Engineers and engineering director,
Gulf Oil research. To get sure cold-weather starting, stall-less run
ning, and full power, he recommends checking the proper operation of:
(1) automatic choke, (2) carburetor, (3) spark advance, (4) electrical
system and battery, (5) radiator thermostat, (6) heat riser therpiostat
He also advises (7) more frequent oil changes, and (8) frequent servic
ing of air cleaners. Going over these points with your serviceman will
help give you more care-free Winter motoring.
