Man Survives
Bolt Of Lightning
. - _
L A N C A STER, O. (A>) — Roy
Huffman, 54, was alive today,
able to describe what it felt like*
to be struck by lightning.
Treated for his injuries at a hos
pital here. Huffman said he was
standing at the door of his cottage
on Buckeye Lake, 16 miles north
west of Lancaster, when a bolt
struck the front porch lute Sun
day.
“A green flame enveloped me,"
he said. “It felt as if thousands of
red hot needles—and I really
mean hot—were sticking me.”
The lightning ripped the shoes
on his feet to shreds, singed his
legs and tore his trousers.
X-ray disclosed his worst in
juries were three broken toes.
POPULAR ELECTIONS OF
mayors were not generally adopt
ed in the United States until the
1820’s, according to the Encyclo
paedia Britannica. In colonial
days, the mayor was usually ap
pointed by the provincial or colon
ial governor.

Shoots Family To
Prevent Being
“Fenced In”
MAPLEWOOD, N. J., i^)—Po
lice posted a guard today at the
hospital bed of a 76-year-old re
tired jeweler who, they said, told
them he had attempted to w'pe
out his entire family because a
new apartment development was
"fencing in” the 2V6-story frame
dwelling he had spent 3 ) years in
beautifying.
Police Capt. Howard Dowd said
that the man, Frederick F. Dieter,
had signed a statement saying he
had shot and killed his son and
seriously wounded his wife,
daughter-in-law and dog because
he was certain his family’s privacy
and comfort were now at an end
and that therefore he "didn’t want
to leave behind anybody 1 loved.”
Dieter himself suffered bullet
wounds in the head and right
hand, the first being the result of
what police said was a suicide at
tempt and the second the climax
of a 20-minute Sunday morning
gun duel in which his weapon was
shot from his grip. Capt. Dowd
said he came out then from the
cellar of his home shouting, “Don’t
hurt me. I’m an old man.”
Dowd said the son, Frederick,
Jr., 50, was found dead in his bed
with a bullet through the head.
The son’s wife, Mary, 47, was also
in bed, bleeding from a bullet
wound in the neck. The wife of
the elder Dieter, Lena, 66, was
found slumped over a windowsill
where she had been screaming af
ter being struck by two bullets.
Kansas City Elec
tion Frauds Are
Matter For Courts
WASHINGTON. i/P)— Republi
can Congressional leaders marked
off the Kansas City vote fraud
charges today as a court matter
and something to talk about in the
coming political wars.
Although Senator Kem <R.-Mo.>
told a reporter he will not reach
a decision until later, a Republi
can leader who declined to be
quoted by name said it is his
judgment that the issue will not
be revived when Congress meets
again in January.
Kem had sought Senate approv
al of a resolution calling for a spe
cial investigation of Attorney
General Clark’s handling of the
charges of vote buying and other
irregularities which arose as a re
sult of last year’s Democratic
“purge’’ primary in the fifth Mis
souri district.
In that* race, President Truman
supported Enos A. Axtell, who
| won over incumbent Rep. Robert
j C. Slaughter. Axtell, however,
I lost to Albert 'Reeves, Jr., a Re
j publican, in the November elec
i tion.
The charges of Kem and Sena
tor Ferguson (R.-Mich.) that Clark
“whitewashed” the investigation
seemed almost certain to be re
peated and expanded by Republi
can orators busying themselves
with the 1948 Congressional and
Presidential campaigns.
