Mayor and Council
Seeking Remedy
Of ‘Bad Situation’
BY GEORGE ABNEY, JR.
Assistant City Editor
The first step in remedying &
wraffic problem at a curve on
Lumpkin street, termed by Coun
tilman Roger Hazen as & ‘“bad
situation,” was taken at last
night's meeting of Mayor . and
Council.
Councilman Hazen, chairman of
the Special Traffic ‘Committee,
ssid, “the Traffic Committee is not
satisfied with the situation and is
goin gto do something to remedy
tre problem.”
The problem in the area on
South Lumpkin street where Carl
ton street enters (and where there
are several businesses located on
the west side of Lumpkin just at
the curve) was brought to the
forefront as a result of an acci
dent suffered by Mrs. C. S. Comp
ton recently.
In a letter to Mayor and Coun
¢il her attorney, Carlisle Cobb,
stated there were c¢ars hanging
over the sidewalk at the business
area which Mrs. Compton had to
pass in order to go to mail a let
ter. The communication to Coun
¢il said the overhanging cars nec
essitated Mrs. Compton’s having
io alier her path from the side
walk, and in doing so stepped in &
depression and was injured.
Attorney Cobb said In the let
fer that the situation is due to
negligence by the ci.y, and dedded
that a claim will be made as the
extent of damages are ascertain
ed. The communication was re
ferred to the Finance Committee.
Deliberate Further
Councilman Hazen told mem
bers of Council that his commit
fee has investigated the situation,
but needs to deliberate further on
the matter,
In the meantime, the Traffic
Committee will request the Police
Department t strictly enforce the
ordinance against vehicles over
hanging sidewalks in all locations
in the eity, The latter was adopted
after being moved by Councilman
Clyde Basham, which had follow
ed a suggestion by Councilman
Hazen,
Councilman H. L. Seagraves

CAMDEN'SDEATH
10-Year-Old Boy Dies From Bullet
Wounds; Mental Exams Set For Killer
: BY TOM BRADSHAW
CAMDEN, N. J., Sept. 7.— (AP)—The toll in Camden’s
River Road mass shooting rose to 13 today with the death
of 10-year-old John Wilson.
The youngster was the third member of hig family
claimed by the bullets of a stalking gunman who turned a
city block into a place of terror. yesterday,
The boy’s mother and grand-l
mother were killed beside him as‘
they sat in their car waiting for a]
traffic light. |
Three other persons wex'*ei
wounded in the hail of gunfire.
Meanwhile, thousands of curios
ity seekers flocked to the scene to
examine at first hand the bullet
holes and other mute evidence of
the massacre—described by police |
as the worst street shooting in the
nation’s history. .
While the stunned families of
the victims prepared to bury their
dead, police maintained a round
the-clock vigil at the hospital bed~-
side of Howard Unruh, 28-year
old Bible-reading war veteran
who collected guns as a hobby.
A bullet was removed {from
Unrah’s hip last night at Cooper
hospital—lless than 12 hours after
he had pumped 33 shots from a
German luger automatic in a
methodical door-to-door search
for human targets.
Unruh was captured when po-|
lice tear gas bombs forced him‘l
from his own barricaded bedroom.
Prosecutor Mitchell Cohen of
Camden county said arrangements
have been made for a mental ex-|
amination of Unruh. Four psy—'
chiatrists will question Unruh,
Cohen said, in an effort to deter-‘
mine whether insanity was in
voived in the shootings.
James Unruh of Haddonfield, N.
J., expressed the opinion that his
brother went berserk because of
nervousness brought on by his war
} service. |
James said his brother served |
in Europe with the Field Artillery. |
After his discharge, Howard was
employed for a while as a sheet
metal worker. He entered Temple
University's Scheol of Pharmacy
last fall but quit after a month,’
giving “poor physical condition” |
as the reason. Since then he had |
remained ai home. !
Neighbors said he frequently
was seen reading a Bibie as hel
walked down the street.
Unruh—an otherwise calm, |
studious type thought by many of!
his neighbors to have been a di
vinity student—was charged with|
murder before he was taken to

YORK, Maine, Sept. 7~(AP)—Supreme Court Justice Wiley
B. Rutledge’s physician said today that the jurist’s left arm and
leg were parlyzed. ;
| The 35-year-ola Justice suffered s cerebral hemorrhage, Me
| has been in York Hospital 11 days.
“Justice Rutledge shows a slight kmprovement in speech but
his left arm and leg do not shew any improvement in paralysis”
said Dr. Elmer Tower, :
The measure would extend to
June 12, 1951 the president’s au
thority to make international
agreements raising or lowering
American tariffs. It is under hot
fire from Republicans.
Administration lieutenants said
they will resist any efforts to com
promise on a GOP proposal to
write into the bill a so-called peril
point provision. They have the
President’s orders to fight it out
on this line.
Such a provision would direct
the Tariff Commission to point out
when it beiieved proposed tariff
cuts would damage American in
dustry. The President could go
ahead with rate reductions in such
cases, but would have to explain
to Congress why he took such ac
tion.
The President’s appointment of
former Senator J. Howard Mc~
Grath of Rhode Island as Attorney
General removed from the Senate
one of the few influential Demo
crats who had expressed public
willingness to compromise on this
point with the Republicans.
Chairman George (D.-Ga.) of
the Senate Finance Committee,
who will pilot the measure through
the Senate, has opposed any such
compromise.

“High Waves,
Beat M .

BY ALVIN STEINKOF
DOVER, Eng., Sept. 7—(AP)—
Shirley May France, red-eyed
string-haired and tired, said today
she will have another ftry as
swimming the English Channel.
“It beat me yesterday, but I an
sure I can get across next time’
| said the 17-year-old Somerses
| Mass., schoolgirl. gyl o
She does not know when “nex
time” will be, but it may be in a
year ‘? two.
Shirley May was pulled out of
the water yesterday afternoon af
ter she had tried courageously for
10 1-2 hours to swim fiom France
to England.
She was hauled out at a point
estimated to be six miles from her
go:;l, a very cold, but determined
girl.
She protested violently at this.
Her shouts of “No, no,” rang out
over the waves.
“I am very disappointed,’” Shir
ley May said after a warm bath
and shampoo to take the grease
ocut of her hair. “It was the first
five hours of the swim that beat
me.”
“Those awfu!, chooping waves
washed the grease from my
| shoulders and after that, of course,
II got cold quickly.”
The temperature of the water
| was never above the low sixties
| and in some frigid currents might
have been under 60 degrees, her
handlers said.
“1 wonder what couid have hap~
lpened if T had had a good day.
[said Shirley. “Anyway, I am sure
1 can do it.”
i “The child was just battered be~
| ound human endurance” said
| her coach, Harry Boudakian.
| “She could have gone on 2 while
{longer, but our first concern in
| these hard tests is to see that she
| suffers no_harm.” 3
Shirley May was taken from the
water virtually by force on orders
from her father, J. Walter France,
who decided thit she had endured
enough. :
