Pope Calls For
Peace Pilgrimage
VATICAN CITY, May 26—(AP)
—Pope Pius XII called on the Ro
man Catholic world today to make
a pilgrimage of peace to Rome
during the 1950 Holy Year.
In a Papal Bull officially pro
claiming the Holy Year, the 73-
vear-old pontiff implored that
“peace finally return to the hearts
of everyone, within domestic walls,
in individual nations, in the uni
versdl commonwealth of peoples.”
A gray-haired prelate read the
bull in the great portico of the
Basilica of St. Peter according to
ancient custom. It will be read
later in the basilicas of St. John
Lateran, Saint Paul and Santa
Maria Maggiore in Rome.
The bull, about 1,300 words in
Latin, was handed by the Pope to
Msgr. Alfonso Carinci, dean of the
Apostolic Pronotaries, at a cere
mony in the throne room of the
Apostolic Palace. Msgr. Carinci
descénded into the portico of the
Basilica where a crowd of about
2,000 persons had assembled. He
read the document from a pulpit
erected before the great bronze
doors of the church.
The Pope himself did not appeay
at the public ceremony.

Last Hours
For Famed
Ax - Slayer
WALLA WALLA, Wash, May'
26.— (AP) —The violent adven-|
tures of Jake Bird appeared to|
be nearing their final hour today.!
Unless the U. S. Circuit Court]
of Appeals at San Francisco
grants a last-hour stay, the con
victed ax-slayer will die at 3:30
a. m. (EST) tomorrow on a gal
lows he has cheated for a year
and a half.
Behind him, if and when he
goes, the negre leaves an almost
incredible story of Dbloodshed,
guile and hexes.
During his imprisonment, offi
cers say the 47-year-old transient
has confessed involvement in or
knowledge of 44 slayings. He
was sentenced to die in connec
tion with the bludgeon killing of
Mrs. Bertha Kludt and her
daughter on October 31, 1947, in
Tacoma, Wash.
During his battle to escape the
noose, Bird brought his case
twice before the U. S. Supreme
Court, three times before the
Washington State Supreme Court,
once before a Federal District
Court and a half dozen or more
times in State Sueprior Court on
appeal. He has delayed execu
tions set for January 16, 1943,
and January 14, 1949. |
When he received his first
death sentence, Bird told Super
ior Judge E. D. Hodge: |
“Wait and see. All of you who
had anything to do with this case!
will die before I do.”
This was the famous Bird hex.
Judge Hodge died a month la
ter of a heart attack. These oth
ers died during the next few
months: Undersheriff Joe Kar
pach, Chief * Court Clerk Ray
Scott, Detective Sherman Lyons
and Attorney J. W. Selden, who
defended Bird. 5 y
Bird declaerd yesterday, how
ever, that the hex “is a lot of
hooey.” ! 3 : :
Bird's plea for clemency is
based on his contention that he
was forced to confess to the
Kludt slaying because of third
degree methods by Tacoma po
lice.

This caused adjournment uniii
today to allow the credentials
committee of two men from each
side to finish its work.
Lewis questioned whether the
association — weakened by with
drawal of two operators groups
from the talks before they started
—gould speak for enough of the
industry to make a contract. The
present one runs out June 30.
Apparently Lewis referred to
an SCPA by-law that nine of the
