Bartlett To Announce
Soon Whether He Plans
To Seek Reelection
JUNEAU, Ifl) — Congressional
Delegate E. L. Bartlett said in an
interview here Friday that “I
should expect to make an an
nouncement within the next six
or eight weeks” as to whether he
will seek reelection.
There have been local rumors
and speculation that he might not
seek reelection but that he might
. get into the newspaper business
and that ex-Governor Ernest
Gruening might file as a candi
date to succeed him as delegate.
There has been nothing, however,
to lift the rumors above the spec
ulation level.
The delegate told a reporter, in
connection with the rumors:
“At this time I am not contem
plating the purchase or operation
erf a newspaper anywhere in Al
aska.”
He flew to Alaska with Jim
Ryan, a friend and well-to-do
owner of a private plane.
The delegate came here for an
open “fishermen’s relief” confer
ence Sept. 29. He issued the call
for the meeting* jointly with Labor
Commissioner Henry Benson.

Bank Robber Slain
In Phone Booth
Fight With FBI
BALTIMORE, Md., UR—A West
Coast bank robber, talking long
distance to a Los Angeles reporter,
died gun in hand last night shoot
ing it out with FBI men. One of
the agents died also.
A second FBI man was critical
ly wounded in the battle through
walls of a telephone booth in a
downtown movie house.
Theatergoers, watching a crime
movie themselves, didn’t know of
the spectacular drama going on
over their heads.
John Elgin Johnson, 34, wanted
for parole violation and as a sus
pect in a West Coast killing, load
ed his pockets with quarters and
made a call to Sid Hughes of the
Los Angeles Mirror. It was John
son’s second call to the reporter.
While the operator stalled, FBI
agents in Baltimore were called
and closed in. They fired through
the glass door of the telephone
booth. Agent Ray Fox, 39, was
shot in the hip.
Johnson died in the booth. Mur
phy succumbed at a hospital early
Saturday. Fox was expected to re
cover.
Sid Hughes, in a copyrighted
story in the Mirror, told how he
talked for almost an hour to hold
Johnson in the booth.
Johnson had called earlier,
Hughes said, and was asked to
call back in an hour. Of the sec
ond call, Hughes wrote:
“Sid, I got a funny feeling,”
Johnny kept saying.
“What do you mean, Johnny?”
“When you live like I do you
get these kind of feelings and you
play ’em.”
As they talked, Hughes said, the
call was being traced. Hughes said
at last he heard a “jingling coin”
tone as if someone had poured
them into the booth in six blasts.
He added that “I’ll never forget
that sound, followed by a terrible
kind of silence.”
