U. S. Protests
Soviet Shooting
Of Sergeant
BERLIN (iP>—Maj. Gen. Max-'
well D. Taylor filed a strongly
worded pi'otest with the Russians
i
today on the fatal shooting of an
American air force sergeant by a
Russian sentry Friday night. The
'army identified the dead soldier;
as Staff Sergenat John E. Staff, of
Ramsey, 111.
Gen Taylor charged the sentry
was guilty of “senseless brutality.”
U. S. army authorities, after an
inquiry, gave this version of the
incident through a spokesman:
The sergeant, two soldier com
rades and a German girl wexe
“joyriding” in an official air
force atuomobile in the British
sector near Gatow airfield.
They came to the Russian zone
border without knowing it until
a Soviet soldier halted them at an
obscure check point.
The driver spun the car around
j toward the British sector and re
1 fused to heed a command to halt.
The Russian shot through the
back of the car and hit the ser
geant in the head., He died later
in the R.A.F. hospital at Gatow.

WASHINGTON, </P> — Russia’s
first atomic blow in event of war
would be aimed at Boston, New i
York, Baltimore, Norfolk, Seattle,,
San Francisco and the Panama
Canal, a retired air force general j
says.
Next on the list, said Maj. Gen.
Hugh J. Knerr, ret., would be
Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit and
Chicago.
In an article in the current is
sue of Nation’s Business, a maga
zine published by the U. S. Cham
ber of Commerce, Knerr called
America’s harbor cities perfect
atomic targets.
Three atomic bombs, he said
would “kill” New York harbor
and every ship in it. Less than a
score more bombs, he added,
would deprive this country of its
principal ports for “the initial,
perhaps the decisive, phase of the
war.”

Bit Of A Bittern Outflashes Flash
(A*) Newsfeatures
V/HAT'S QUICKER than a flash? It could be a little bud
called a bittern, smallest member of the heron family. Here is
one held by Mrs. Peter H. Snyder, amateur ornithologist and
member of the Audubon Society, who rescued it from a San Di
ego, Calif., lawyer's office. It was terrorizing the lawyer and his
staff. They were afraid of its knitting-needle beak lunging quicker
than a lash. A stenographer called Mrs. Snyder, who now feeds it
small frogs and minnows. It snatches its food so fast that a cam
era set at 1/400 of a second can't quite catch the action without, a
blur. It lunges nine inches. Bitterns usually are so tricky about
concealing themselves that they are seldom seen, says Mrs. Sny
der.
Lillian E. Turner, formerly a
student of the University of Alas
ka, has been chosen as Dean of
Women for the university. She is
well known to many of the former
students and present undergrad
uate group as she has been nurse
and medical adviser to the stu
dents and has been residing at
Harriet Hess Hall on the campus.
In remote areas of Greece when
women wear ancestral costumes
on ceremonial occasions, they of
ten take great pride in an apron
decorated with velvet embroidery
which may be passed on from
mother to daughter for genera
tions.
