Leave Alaska
JUNEAU, —Washington of
ficials have informally approved
transfer of the office of Indian Af

Just returned from the national

For War Atrocities

mass execution order resulting
from Pacific war atrocities yester
day sentenced 41 former Japanese
navy men to be hanged. Two
others were sentenced to prison at

dered by a U. S. military tribunal.
The charges involved the be
heading of Navy Lt. Vernon L.
Tebo of Pensacola, Fla., and radio
man Warren H. Loyd of Forest
Hills, N. Y., and the bayonetting
to death of ordnanceman Robert
Tuggle of Brownvvood, Tex. The
three American airmen were shot
down over a Pacific island and
captured by the Japanese in April.
1945.
Tuggle was bayonetted by 40
Japanese after he had been tied to
a stake and beaten.

Maniac Shoots At
(Catholic Stuednts
NEW YORK, — A two-gun
maniac, imbued with a wild urge
to “kill Catholics" fired a fusillade
of shots into a crowd of 400
screaming parochial school stu
dents yesterday, killing one boy
and wounding six others.
“They killed by son. They killed
my son," the slayer, identified by
police as Serbian-born Marko L.
Markovich, 64, cried brokenly af
ter his capture.
The attack, which plunged the
busy Columbus Circle area into on
uproar, took place outside an ar
mory where Catholic students of
Power Memorial academy were
rehearsing for today’s St. Patrick’s
day parade.
Brandishing two revolvers, the
fanat’c rushed itno the terror
struck crowd and opened fire.
Assistant district attorney Hen
ry Whitney said the unemployed
welder blamed the death of his 13
year-old son on “foul play of
Cat holies, Italians and politi
cians.” He did not elaborate. Po
lice said the child actually died of
natural causes four years ago.
