LEWISTON. Idaho, </P) — Two
barroom customers were shot to
death earyl today as they wrestled
with a masked gunman intent on
robbery.
A police dragnet was spread
around the city immediately in an
effort to catch the killer.
The victims were Charles Lem
mons, 70, and John Hendley, 32,
boht of Lewiston.
Lemmons was the first to die.
As the masked gunman walked
into the main street bar at mid
night and waved a pistol at the
bartender, Gladys Keller, Lem
mons stepped from his booth.
“You can’t do that to her,” he
shouted.
A single bullet caught him in
the stomach, but he moved for
ward and grappled with the gun
man briefly before collapsing and
dying.
Hendley went to Lemmons’ aid
but also was shot, in the chest,
and collapsed.
The gunman then fled, firing

Territory Should

plan to convince him that the ANS
should not keep many schools in
backward areas for many years to
come. j
Terry Moore, president of the
University of Alaska, pointed out
that although one-third of Alaska’s
population was native, few were
qualified to enter the University
because high schools were not
available to the majority.
He stressed that any study of
the educational system must take |
in secondary schools. Everyone
present agreed the University
would be the ideal place for any j
such study to be made, and Foster
said he though he could scrape
up between $3,000 and $5,000 to
support it, and hoped other inter
ested groups would make dona
tions.
There exists at present no du
plication of educational facilities
in any Alaska community, Foster
sadi, with the exception of Fort
Yukon.
He pointed out that Henry Ro
den, at the time he was Territorial
attorney general, gave him an in
terpretation of a law, which says
: the Territory must take native
i children if they desire to attend.
The* present collection of the $5
per head tax for education,” Fos
ter said, “can be made from na
tives as well as whites, if the col
lectors ask for it.”
Strongest point many persons
opposed to allowing natives to at
tend white schools have used in
that the former pay no school
taxes.
Stumbling blocks in the way of
joining the ANS school system
with that under the commissioner
are the present vocational train
ing now used by ANS and school
lunches, both of which are con
sidered vital unde rcertain condi
tions by ANS.
Alaska \\ isle ()prn
For Invasion
SEATTLE, (/P) — Congressional
j Delegate E. L. Bartlett describes
every port in Alaska as being
wide open to invasion.
In a review of the Territory’s
defense situation for the Post-In
telligencer, Bartlett declared:
Southern terminals of Alaska’s
j railroad, the vital life-line to the
Interior, and undefended and vul
nerable to attack.
There are no military installa
tions or soldiers in Southeastern
Alaska to protect the sea and air
routes.
The air force’s three bases are
ill-equipped and undermanned;
they are centered in an area one
fourth as large as the United
| States and lack any outside de
j fense perimeter.
There is not a single naval craft
i in Alaska waters.
The total naval air strength con
sists of 18 fighting planes.
No actual construction will start
until next spring on any part of
the $93,000,000 military works
program authorized by Congress.
Bartlett recently made an in
spection tour of the Territory.
Rep. Hugh Mitchell of Seattle
said during a Tuesday talk here:
] “Alaska needs an entire develop
! ment program of highways, roads,
docks, hydroelectric power and
radar defense screen.”
The Washington Democrat add
ed: “Men are living in disreputa
ble shacks, even the commanding
officers. They need 12,000 troop
barracks and 7,000 substantial and
comfortable family quarters.”

a score of buildings as they leap

dusk.
An entire family of 10 Negroes
was wiped out near Hackneyville
in Tallapoosa County, 60 miles
southeast of Birmingham. The
mammoth wind picked up their
weatherbeaten little home and
hurled it 300 yards across the
road into another house.
The second house was occupied
by another large family of Ne
groes, but none was reported hurt.
Both houses were demolished—
witnesses said they appeared to
explode alter the smashing im
pact.
Near Oneonta. in Blount coun
ty. two members of a white fam
ily were killed at the Easley com
munity. The same twister hopped
a small mountain and struck
again on the northern outskirts of
Oneonta. where 34 persons were
hurt. Property damage was heavy.
Another person was killed and
five injured by the tornado’s fury
