Hunt Continues
For Axe-Slayer

with an airplane, a giant loud
speaker and army walkie-talkie
radio equipment. Nichols issued
murder warrants for Jones after
Indians told at an inquest of the
killings by a drink-crazed ax
wielder after a drinking party at
an Indian encampment Sunday
night.
Authorities said that letters in
Jones’ quarters at Big Delta camp
showed that his wife and four
children live at Vancouver. Wash.
V A N C O UVER, Wash. (/PI —
Young Mrs. Leon Jones, mother
of four children who expects a
fifth soon, made plans Saturday
to take in washing to support her
family while her husband is
sought by police in the Alaska
wilderness.
Jones became the object of a
manhunt following the axe-slaving
of two men in Alaska.
The woman said he had been
sending checks home until a
month ago, when he hurt his back
and had to quit work at Naknek.
“I don’t know what I’ll do with
out his help. I could get a job but
I’d have to quit pretty soon be
cause of the baby, so I guess I bet
ter take in washings,” she told
an interviewer.
She said her husband had been
a carpenter at Tacoma, Wash., un
til 1943, whe nthe family moved
here while he went to work in a
shipyard. He left for Fairbanks,
four months ago to work on an
airbase project, she said, adding
that they had quarreled before he
left but ‘‘we never planned a di
vorce.”
Many persons might have at
tained wisdom had they not as
sumed they already possessed it.
Birthdays Lot
Of Rubbish !
Says Shaw
LONDON, (,P>—George Bernard
Shaw, 91 Saturday, dismissed the
occasion with snorts of mock exas
peration and the assertion that
few others could have survived so
much "happy birthday rubbish.”
“Birthday celebrations are for
those who think they can afford to
waste time.” the sage of Ayot St. j
Lawrence, drowsy Hertfordshire
hamlet, told his listeners. “:I’vei
hardly recovered from the last
birthday. It nearly killed me—and
it would have most men.
“Whoever utters that word,
‘birthday’ in my presence shall be
set down as a man to be avoided.” i
Since early Friday the postman
has been delivering a good deal
of "Happy Birthday rubbish”—
letters and telegrams from all over
the world—the spacious, comfort-1
able, exceedingly home-like re
treat of the playwright-philosoph
er.
Shaw said he would spend his J
birthday working as usual in his
outdoor study, instead of gadding
about the country and winding up;
in London, where he maintains an
apartment. He went to London a
year ago—and still regrets it, he
says.
CRIME PAYS—AND TWICE
LONDON, </P> — Thieves broke

DeLuxe Vacation
In Alaska
__ t
SEATTLE, UP) — Bearl Sprott,
wealthy Pasadena businessman,
who still proudly boasts of com
ing from Bear Creek, Mo., “where
they don’t wear shoes,” was vaca
tion bound to Alaska today on the
Breezin’ Through, 142-foot yacht.
Equipped with radar, a sailboat,
rowboat, canoe, two motorboats
and an amphibian airplane, his
boat has all the comforts of home,
converted from a Canadian war
time patrol boat and with an esti
mated $200,000 value.
Sprott planned frequent trips
ashore or flights for himself, his
wife and party. Joe Crosson, Alas
ka veteran flier, and Fred Alex
ander, ex-army flier, were along
as pilots.
"This is one of the highlights of'
our married life,” Mrs. Sprott
said before they sailed Saturday
afternoon.
To newsmen, Sprott said: “The
way to get ‘rich is to be lucky.
Work hard, don’t think of money
—and maybe you’ll get it and
maybe you won’t.”
