questioning.
The victim was 54-year-old Ber
nard Lawrence Doyle of Fairview,
N. J., a former fight manager who
launched James J. Braddock on
the path to the world’s heavy
weight championship.
Doyle, in straw hat and shirt
sleeves, was sitting in an upper

neighbor boy, waiting to root for
the New York Gians when they
opened their Fourth of July dou
ble header with the Brooklyn
Dodgers.
He was watching the Dodgers’
pre-game batting practice when
his close neighbors heard a “pop”
like a paper bag breaking, and
saw Doyle slump back in his seat.
They assumed he had been
taken ill suddenly, but then saw
blood run from his ears. There
was a small hole in his left tem
ple. The bullet had passed through |
his brain and lodged in the other
side of his skull. He died instant
ly .
An autopsy was ordered to re
cover the bullet.
Police said the shot could have
been fired up to half a mile away.
Forty dectectives were ordered
into the needle-in-the-haystack
search. <

mising overnight was found
wrecked Wednesday in Kulak

of seven men aboard was not
learned. Their names have been
withheld.

ANCHORAGE, (#) — Search
continued today over an extended
area for seven airmen missing

A navy crash boat reported

have parachuted into the bay

Abandon “Loran”
In Arctic Region '
WASHINGTON, (IP) — A joint
U. S.-Canadian aerial navigation
system in the Canadian Arctic
and Alaska has been discontinued^
It is called “Loran,” standing for
“long range aid to navigation.”
The action was announced last
week in Ottawa and by the de
fense department here.
Officials said the chain of low
frequency and monitoring stations
was discontinued because of radio
transmission difficulties.
They said operation of the sys
tem has produced some informa
tion— otherwise unobtainable —
which will be of value in develop
ing a satisfactory aerial naviga
tion System in the Far North.
“In view of the costs of operat
ing in the Arctic,” the defense de
partment said in a statement, “the
tests of this system were termin
ated and experiments are being
conducted in the Continental
United States.”

Erickson.
Moore is now negotiating for a
truck to take the 10 dogs to his
destination.
The dogs are reported to be in
goo dshape, but warm weather
brought about the cancellation.
Some plants, we are told, de
rive benefit from the use of arti

is one of them.—The Humorist
