Leafh Confesses
He Wanted to Kill .
Son, Says Gilmore
An alleged confession in which
Mel Leath reportedly admits he
had “decided” to kill his 5-year-old
son Jimmy, then himself, has been
obtained from Leath, according to
U S. Attorney P. J. Gilmore, Jr.
Leath and the boy are both in
the hospital, Jimmy in critical con
dition from a deep stab wound in
the chest, said to have been in
flicted by his father Friday night.
Leath is in fair condition, hospital
authorities report, from a self
inflicted knife wound in his chest.
The confession, according to Gil
more, was obtained by Juneau Chief
of Police Bernard Hulk, and U. S.
Marshal Sid Thompson. Gilmore
said that Leath described how he
took the kitchen knjfe from a
drawer, plunged it into the child's
breast, then stabbed himself.
The purported confession did not
tell why Leath decided upon this
action, or when, according to Gil
more. The U.S. Attorney said that
no charges have been filed.
“Charges may not be filed for a
few days yet, depending upon the
condition of the boy,” Gilmore said.
Mrs. Leath has previously stated
that she would file charges against
her husband. She said that she,
Leath, Jimmy and Carol, 14-year
old stepdaughter, were in the
kitchen of their home at 233 Frank
lin Street Friday night when the
stabbing occurred. She said that
Leath had been drinking and ap
parently went beserk.
She said he called the boy to
him, saying, “Jimmy, I want to
tell you something.” Then, she
said, he grabbed, a kitchen knife
and rammed it into the child’s
chest.

Flood Victims with
Million Dollars
ROVIGO, Italy. Nov. 26 — (JPI —
Flood fighters readied new dyke
cutting blasts today to hasten to
the Adriatic the destructive waters
carpeting this Po River delta area.
Though the water level dropped
slowly in this drowned-out provin
cial capital, new threats were posed
by disrupted sewage systems, weak
ened buildings and a lack of drink
ing w'ater.
More than 160.000 have been made
homeless and the unofficial death
toll has climbed past 150 in the
last 17 days of floods, but thousands
clung stubbornly to the upper
stories of their water-weakened,
marooned homes.
W. Averell Harriman, U.S. Di
rector of Mutual Security, warned
in Rome of the danger of disease
and announced that $1,000,000
would be furnished the Italian gov
ernment for medicines and' other
supplies for the flood victims.

l^ASHINGTON—The bitterness
felt among U. S. military leaders
over the massacre of some G.000
American troops in Korea also ex
tends back to similar bitterness
over the Malmedy massacre.
If the SS men who shot down
150 American prisoners in cold
blood during _ the Battle of the
Bulge had been properly punished,
instead of being held up to the
public as innocent victims by
Senator McCarthy, it is believed
a precedent would have been set
to discourage such massacres in
the future.
The grim story of the Malmedy
massacre and the campaign staged
on the Senate floor to protect the
Nazi murderers was one of the
most shameful in years. Forty
three of the cold-blooded Nazi
“blow torch battalion" had begn
condemned to death for the sav
age, cold-blooded shooting of 150
American prisoners, when sudden
ly Senator McCarthy demanded an
investigation. He charged that
American prosecutors had extort
ed confessions.
The Senate Armed Services
committee appointed a subcommit
tee under Republican Sen. Ray
Baldwin of Connecticut, to probe
McCarthy’s charges, and a lengthy
hearing took placfe at which Mc

'Stop Haggling'
Eisenhower
Tells Leaders
ROME, Nov. 20— UP —General
Dwight D. Eisenhower sternly
warned Atlantic Pact commanders
I today to stop haggling over com
'mand appointments, forget individ
ual national glory and “attempt
the impossible" in building true
western security against aggres
sion by pooling their sovereignty.
He declared that unless Eu
rope’s defense line is built strong
ly, far east of the Rhine, there
never will be peace without fear.
This was interpreted as a definite
reference to inclusion of German
forces in the Atlantic Pact army.
The Atlantic Pact supreme com
mander addressed the North At
lantic Treaty Organization (NATOi
chiefs of staif in advance of an
appearance before the 12-nation
NATO council. He is slated to tell
its members they must step up their
defense efforts for peace through
strength.
Opposition By Britain
As he spoke, qualified sources
reported that Britain again had
turned down a proposal to set up an
American-led North Atlantic naval
comand at once. Britain is com
mitted, on paper, to accepting an
American admiral as head of the
North Atlantic command, but ap
parently the British want action
deferred until a Briton is put in
charge of the projected middle east
command. The Atlantic Pact de
fense ministers are recommending
that this action be put off until.
Greece and Turkey formally enter
the partnership, probably in Janu
ary.
The same sources said Prime
Minister Churchill’s government
thus far also has refused to ac
cept the American .30 caliber
Garand as the standard rifle for
the Atlantic allies. Britain still
is arguing in favor of its own
new .280 rifl£.
The North Atlantic command
structure, the mideast command,
the small arms standardization and
| the streamlining of NATO’s mili
tary structure are the chief issues
booming down the North Atlantic
i defense ministers who are meet
; ing here.
Priests Reveal
Stalin Revered
As 'New Messiah'
NEW YORK, Nov. 26—Wl—Some
churchgoers behind the Iron Cur
tain now must pray to "our father
who art in Moscow" and revere
Stalin as a “new Messiah,” two
Ukrainian priests, hooded to con
ceal their identifies, said yesterday.
Communist use of religion as an
instrument of propaganda, they
added, has led to the substituting
of Stalin’s image for religious fig
ures in church buildings in Russia
and Red satellite countries.
Details of the Communist ex
ploitation of religion were given to
newsmen by the two priests, who
said they recently escaped from
behind the Iron Curtain.
The interviews were at the 13th
annual convention of the. Ukrainian
Catholic Youth League. Officials
of the league identified them only
as “Father” and "Father Y.”

Alabama Rail
Crash Kills 16,
Injures 60
WOODSTOCK, Ala., Nov. 26—UP)
Workers today searched the mangl
ed wreckage of a combination pas
senger-baggage car for additional
victims in a streamliner collision
which killed 16 and injured 60.
Two deluxe New York-New Or
leans passenger trains met headon
yesterday afternoon.
The silvery northbound South
erner pulled from a siding here
into the path of the onrushing
southbound Crescent. The sledge
hammer crash turned the first
car of the Southerner into a giant
coffin.
The trains met on a high railroad
trestle 29 miles southwest of Bir
mingham. The Crescent was using
the Southern Railway tracks be
cause a bridge was out on the
Louisville and Nashville Lines near
New Orleans, 320 miles away.
The Southerner had stopped af
ter pulling out from the siding. The
Crescent rounded a curve and roared
into it.
"We were slammed back 80 feet,”
said George Newton, Seminary,
Miss,, a passenger in the third
coach of the northbound train. "Ev
erybody was running through the
train screaming."
All of the known dead were
on the Southerner, most of them
in the first car, which was smash
ed like an eggshell. Trainmen
said IV J. Powers, Birmingham,
engineer of the northbound train,
was killed and his body caught in
the wreckage.
Fifteen Negro dead were removed
from the ill-fated car, the "Mississ
ippi," a combination baggage-pas
senger coach with 22 seats.
K. C. Shults, division superinten
dent of the Alabama Great South
ern (a division of the Southern ]
Railway) said there was no indica- j
tion that safety signals which should
he • stooped the Southerner on its j
were not working.
Shults said the Crescent was run
ning at about 60 miles an hour
when it hit.
Seven cars of the Crescent left
the tracks, with four plunging off
the 40-foot embankment. Almost j
miraculously, no one was killed in
the cars which dropped to the
ground.

Bush Pilot Carr
DALLAS, Texas, Nov. 26—(*—Al
askans have become so air-minded
that it’s hard to tell nowadays just
who should be called a bush pilot,
Col. J. R. (Jack) Carr of Anchor
age said here.
“In the old days, each bush pi
lot served a vast wilderness, and
he made his rounds like a circuit
riding preacher,” said Carr, a native
of Greenville, Texas. “Now the air
lines go to all the sizeable Alaskan
towns. And there are planes in al
most every community. The early
bush pilots have become airlines
or flying services.”
Carr, 50, started out as a bush
pilot around Anchorage in 1932.
What used to be his bush beat
is now the Jack„Carr Flying Ser
vice.
"And to show you how our folks
fly, one-tenth of the float planes
in the continental United States are
based at Lake Spenard near Anch
orage. And our Merrill Field and the
lake have more daily flights than
New York City’s La Guardia Air
port,”
Carr, a Civil Air Patrol group

Murder Conviction
Sustained in Case
Of Mexican Citizen
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26 — Iff) —
] The Supreme Court brushed aside
I contentions that it was dealing
with an "American Vogeler case"
and upheld the Nebraska murder
conviction of a Mexican citizen.
The high tribunal split 6-2 in re
; jecting the plea of Agapita Gallegos
I that a confession he gave police
should not have been used against
him because it was obtained during
25 days of •'illegal” detention.
In other actions the Supreme
Court:
1. Voted 5-2 to restore full Amerl
j can citizenship to a native of Ger
many once ordered deported be
cause he admitted he lied in swear
ing he would fight for the United
States. The justices noted, how
ever, that the government is free
to make a new effort to send Peter
Alxons Bindczyck of Elmhurst,
L.I., back to Germany so long as
it follows precisely the steps set
forth in a 1940 immigration law.
2. Let stand unchanged a Chicago
circuit court decision that the Na
tion Labor Relations Act does not
protect union members who refuse
to cross a picket line in a strike in
which they are not involved.
3. Refused to rule at this time on
a union appeal which challenged

Cease-Fire
Line Agreed
By UN-Reds
MUNSAN, Korea, Nov. 26—1*1—
Allied and Communist staff offic
ers tonight agreed on the exact
location of a 145-mlle line across
Korea wlhere the shooting will
stop if an armistice is signed with
in 30 days.
Otfly signatures of the truce
negotiators are needed to complete
settlement of the second item on
the armistice agenda — fixing a
cease-fire line.
The subcommittees will meet in
Panmunjom tomorrow at 10 a.m.
(6 p.m. PST Monday) to approve
the proposal. Formal adoption of
the buffer zone clause is expected
to be a mere formality.
Then in a race against the 36
day deadline and while the
fighting goes on, the negotia
tors will work on three other
points that must be agreed on
before a full armistice can be
signed.
There still is a possibility of an
armistice in Korea by Christmas,
but no one in an official poistion
at the UN camp would risk a pre
diction that a truce can be negotiat
ed by then.
Ratification of the buffer zone
clause Tuesday would start a 30
day negotiating period ending
Dec. 26.
There will be a new member
of the UN command armistice dele
gation at Panmunjom. Rear Adm.
R E. Libby arrived in Munsan to
day to replace Rear Adm. Arleigh
Burke. Burke has been a delegate
since the truce talks began July
10. He is leaving for a new assign
ment in Washington. Libby, a na
tive of Spokane, Wash., has been
commAnder. of cruiser pivleion
Three in Korean waters.
After the buffer zone clause
is formally approved, the truce
delegations first will try to agree
on measures for enforcing the
crmicl|», including inspections
behind the front lines.
Two other tough problems also
must be solved before an armistice
can become effective. They are the
exchange of war prisoners agid
recommendations to the belligerent
government, Including withdrawal
of foreign troops from Korea.
/ CEASE-FIRE IN BRIEF
Here In brief is what the cease
fire negotiations are to date:
Allied and Red staff officers agree
on exact deginition of front “line
of contact” on which cease-fire
buffer zone is to be based.
Subcommittees of truce negotia
tors to meet Tuesday (5 p.m., Pa
cific Standard Time Monday) to
approve staff officers' work.
Full armistice negotiation dele
gations to meet one hour later.
Approval by full delegations ex
pected to lead to quick discussion
of next item of armistice agenda:
“concrete arrangements to end the
shooting and supervise the truce."
If complete armistice is not
reached within 30 days after full
delegations approve the line drawn,
negotiations are to start over by
setting a new line based on wher
ever the battlefront is at that time.
Fighting to continue until com
plete armistice is reached.
