Former Cultists
Had Complained
To A tty. Gen.
CHATSWORTH, Calif., {ffl —
The two men who dynamited a
religious cult’s headquarters, kill
ing 10, sought official action
against cult leader Krishna Venta
36 hours earlier.
Investigators learned Friday
that Peter Kamenoff and Ralph
Muller went to the State Attor
ney General’s office Monday and
accused the self-styled Messiah
of a variety of offenses, including
sexual intimacies with female
members of the cult.
They also charged him with
embezzling funds contributed to
his Fountain of the World cult,
and practicing medicine and per
forming marriages without a li
cense.
“They asked me if I would pro
secute if they got a confession,”
said James H. Mulvey of the At
torney General’s office. “I told
them if he confessed to any
crimes, I would.”
Authorities believe the two
men, both former cultists, went
to Krishna’s canyon retreat near
here carrying 20 sticks of dyna
mite in a canvas bag. They tried
to wring a confession from him
and when he refused, blasted
themselves, Krishna and seven
other cultists to death.
Mulvey said Muller mentioned
a desire to “eliminate” Venta, but
that no mention was made of
violence.
PIONEER ORGANIZATIONS
EXPRESS APPRECIATION
The officers and member', of
Igloo No. 1 and Ladies Auxiliary
desire to express their appreciation
to all who attended the Roof Gar
den and helped to make it a
success, staled Axel Edman, gen
eral chairman of the Roof Garden
Committee.
To the merchants and all busi
nes people who assisted in many
ways in furnishing supplies and
equipment. To Mr. William An
gell, superintendent of schools, for
use of the school building and
facilities. To the Nome School
Band, for furnishing appropriate
music. To Steve Stephenson for
the operation of public address
system, which was so much ap
preciated by the audience; and to:
all others too numerous to men
tion, for their assistance.
Perhaps an outstanding example
of pioneer spirit was displayed by
Mr. and Mrs. Willie Brown of
Nomerma Theatre, who closed
their place of business Saturday
night and attended the Roof Gar
den. This is the community spirit
which prompted the Pioneers to
organize Igloo No. 1 at Nome.
May it ever remain with us.
Late Pope Pius’ 1
Physician Barred
For Profiteering
ROME, Iff) — The personal phy
sician of the late Pope Pius XII
has been barred from practicing
medicine in Italy for selling news
paper articles nd photographs on
the Pope’s death.
Prof. Riccardo Galeazzi-Lisi
issued a statement saying he
would appeal the action taken by
the council of the Rome Medical
Association last night. He declared
the verdict had embittered and
startled him.
Galeazzi-Lisi said he would
“naturally provide for the defense
of .my reputation before compe
tent authorities” — a mixed board
of doctors and magistrates. He
said he had given the council a
clear explanation of his action. He
will be allowed to practice after
appealing, pending final ruling.
The Medical Association’s 14
member council questioned the
doctor behind locked doors for 20
minutes before it issued its ver
dict.
He had maintained his con
science was at rest and he had
not betrayed any professional
medical secrets concerning Pope
Pius, who died October 9. Once
a patient dies, a physician is free
to discuss his case, Galeazzi-Lili
contended.
The council accused Galeazzi
Lisi of seeking to “achieve profit”
It added he “gravely compromised
his own reputation and the dig
nity of the medical class.”
“The actions . . . constitute an
infraction of medical ethics be
cause a professional physician
cannot divulge facts which he
learned through his professional i
activity,” the council said.

Alaska Is New
Church Frontier,
Says Methodist
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., UP) —
A Methodist churchman says
Alaska represents a new fron
tier of church interest.
Dr. H. Conwell Snoke of Phil
adelphia, who recently returned
from a tour of Alaska, addressed
the division of home missions of
the National Council of Churches
here last week. Dr. Snoke is treas
urer of the Methodist Division of
Home Missions. He noted that
early church work was aimed at
the Eskimo but facilities must
now be enlarged to care for the
influx of people from the States.
The main problem in Alaska is
financial, Dr. Snoke said, and pro
jects are harder to finance with
costs 40 to 50 percent higher than
in the United States.
Many Alaska churches must
have help from those in the
States, he added, “and there is
little chance this situation will
change for some years to come.”

A Woman’s Work . . .
RIDGEWOOD, N. J, UP)—Some
times housework just seems like
one step forward and two steps
back.
Mrs. Charles E. Blackford tried
to tidy up the house Friday night.
She told the children to throw
an old beer carton into the blaz-.
ing fireplace.
They did. However, there were
two unopened cans of beer in the
carton. The heat caused them to
explode, scattering ashes all over
the living room rug.
Wearily, Mrs. Blackford got out
the vacuum cleaner, cleaned up
the mess, and put the vacuum
bag in the closet. Soon smoke
started coming from the closet.
The hot ashes had set fire to
the dust in the bag, and all that
was left of the vacuum was a
charred skeleton.
