Over 100 Homeless
(n Oklahoma Flood
W AURIKA. Okla., UR—More
than 100 persons remained home
less Thursday in a flood which
caused the near drowning of three
teen-agers and a fire that de
stroyed a school bulding.
Rampaging Cow and Beaver
Creeks, perennial flood threats in
southwestern Oklahoma, over
flowed Wednesday into the north
west residential area. Flood wat
ers lapped two blocks over into
the business district.
The Lincoln Schoolhouse, locat
ed in a “V” formed by the two
creeks, exploded and burned on
Wednesday night. Authorities said
boiler fires were extinguished by
the water and a gas explosion
followed.
April Precipitation Here
Much Less Than Usual
Complied by the
U.S. Dept, of Commerce Weather Bureau
Temperatures during the month
of April averaged only slightly
below normal. Precipitation was
considerably below normal with
no measurable precipitation until
the 23rd.
Sky cover was much less than
average, as was the wind speed.
Approximately one-third of the
ground was bare of snow at the
end of the month. The ice on the
Snake River became unsafe for
foot travel on the 28th.
The blood of lobsters, crayfish
and crabs is blue rather than
red because it is based on a cop
per pigment rather than an iron
pigment.

Adams Says Army
Didn't Want to Stop
McCarthy Probe
WASHINGTON, (JV-Counselor
for the Army John G. Adams in
sisted Thursday the Army had no
desire to stop the McCarthy sub
committee's investigation of Ft.
Monmouth although he conceded
it was pleased when the prospect
of a suspension arose last fall.
And he denied the Army (1)
ever engaged in “trading favors”
for Pvt. G. David Schine in an
effort to get the investigation
stopped, or (2) sought to “appease”
Sen. McCarthy.
Adams said any special consid
eration for Schine stemmed only
from the McCarthy subcommit
tee’s picturing him as essential to
its work, and that any special
deference for McCarthy was a
matter of trying to avoid “open
hostility.”
Adams was back in the witness
chair at the McCarthy - Army
hearings for the second day—this
time for cross-examination.
At the outset, he swore Secre
tary Stevens never instructed him
to try to halt the McCarthy in
quiry into alleged security risks
at Monmouth and that he never
attempted to stop it.
But he said, as Stevens did
earlier, that they wanted the “type
erf hearings” ended. Stevens had
characterized those hearings as
“hammering” the Army on the
head.
It was of no concern to the
Army whether an investigating
committee of Congress continued
to investigate, Adams declared.
“It was the type of hearings we
objected to," Adams declared, as
serting that “we felt the Army
was receiving a very bad and very
unfair press.”

Desperate Gunmen
Commit Suicide When
Cornered by Police
NEW HAVEN, Conn., CSV-Two
desperate gunmen committed sui
cide when they were cornered toy
police who sought them for crit
ically wounding a detective in a
movie theater.
Police Chief Harold O. Young
said one of the fugitives, James
Pollard, 26, shot himself in the
head as Young closed in on him
in an apartment house attic.
Police said the other gunman,
Clarence Rydstrom, 21, shot him
self to death in a taxicab an hour
later as state and local police sur
rounded him with drawn guns.
Fatally shot in a downtown
movie was Det. Ralph Palma, 30.
He was felled by two bullets in
the chest as he wrestled with the
pair.
Palma was with two other de
tectives and several state troopers
when they learned the two fugi
tives had entered the movie and
were sitting in the back row.
Palma went into the seats and
there was a scuffle. Suddenly,
two shots blazed and many of the
200 patrons dived under their
seats. The gunmen escaped, only
to be trapped later.

PRESIDENT OK’s
ST. LAWRENCE
SEAWAY BILL
WASHINGTON, Wl—President
'Eisenhower signed the St. Law
rence Seaway bill Thursday in a
White House ceremony.
“Now work can begin on the
great project,” the President de
clared as he put his signature to
the measure which sets in motion
a plan to bring ocean trade into
the heart of the American conti
nent.
The measure authorizes the Uni
ted States to join Canada in build
ing a waterway deep enough to
let ocean ships sail from the
Atlantic as far inland as Toledo,
Ohio, by going up the St. Law
rence River to the Great Lakes.
Engineers figure it will take
about six years to complete the
project. There is talk about ex
tending the ocean .channel all the
way to Duluth, Minn., at the end
of Lake Superior, but this will
require further congressional ac
tion.
The seaway will eliminate a
navigation bottleneck in the In
ternational Rapids section of the
St. Lawrence River which now
allows passage of ships with only
14-foot draft or less. The project
would deepen this to 27 feet and
add necessary locks and canals.
