MAXWELL KENNEDY
RESCUES ENLISTED MAN
It was learned last week that
Maxwell Kennedy, local dentist,
is a hero, in every sense of the
word.
About two weeks ago. he was
visiting at the officers club on the
Marks Air Force Base and was on
his way to the theater when he
glanced toward the Snake River
and spotted an enlisted man on a
cake of ice floating downstream.
Kennedy immediately got into his
car, drove about a quarter of a
mile to the Q. M. Bridge and
parked his car.
Looking over the situation he
took a tire chain out of the rear
of his car and proceeded to the
center of the bridge, where he let
out the chain as far as its length
allowed and leaned out toward
the oncoming boy on the ice cake.
When the ice cake went under the
bridge the boy grabbed the chain
and pulled himself to safety.
About 200 yards below the
bridge was a big ice jam which
would most assuredly have caused
the boy to lose his life.
The name of the enlisted man
was not released by air force of
ficials.

Coal Miners Start
1-Week “Holiday”
precedent. U. S. Steel never be
fore has met with Lewis while a
walkout was in progress.
As usual, all UMW coal diggers
quit the pits today in compliance
with Lewis’ orders. Idle were
about 400,000 soft coal miners and
some 80,000 hard coal workers in
eastern Pennsylvania.
One anthracite district leader,
Michael Kosik, said the one-week
“holiday” is “just what the indus
try needed.”
Hard coal retail dealers said
they were flooded with orders and
that plenty of fuel is available to
meet all demands.
Lewis called the walkout under
provisions of the contract which
say the miners work only when
they’re “willing and able.”
Walter R. Thurmond, secretary
of the southern producers, said
there’s nothing in the contract to
permit what Lewis describes as a
“stabilizing period of inaction.”
The UW’M’s present contract
expires June 30.
Lewis hasn’t revealed his exact
demands for the miners.

Jake Bird,
“Whammy” Artist
Nears Rope’s End
TACOMA, Wash. {&) — Noose
cheating Jake Bird, often doomed
but never hanged, appeared to
day to be nearing the end of his
rope—his fourth.
In a curt court session Friday,
the usually filibustering Negro
was cut short by Superior Judge
Hugh Rosellini before he could
commence his customary court
room oration, and was sentenced
to hang July 15 at the state peni
tentiary at Walla Walla.
Since his conviction for slaying
Mrs. Bertha Kludt Oct. 30, 1947,
the 48-year-old transient has
heard his death sentence pro
nounced three times, but each
time won a stay of ' execution.
Bird’s various appeals and drawn
out legal maneuvers have taken
him into 14 courtrooms and sent
his case twice to the U. S. Su
preme Court.
He has admitted complicity in
44 killings throughout the coun
try.
Bird trotted out his famous
“hex” again yesterday in a brief
verbal exchange with James Fa
ber, Tacoma News Tribune re
porter. Angered by a remark of
Faber’s, Bird told the reporter he
was not long for this world. Six
persons on whom the husky
transient has pronounced the
whammy have died.
