Czechs Ready
To Take Over
Church Control
Charge Vatican Seeks
Violence Against
State, Civil Unrest
PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, July 15
—(U.R)— The Czech government
served notice today that it was
preparing to take over lull control
of the Roman Catholic church
throughout the country.
The official news agency re*
ported that a bill had been drafted
for the next session of parliament
which would give the government
control of church operations
Czechoslovakia.
The move followed by two days
a Vatican decree excommunicating
Catholic Communists and Com-
munist sympathizers. Although
Prague newspapers still ignored the
church decree, the Communist
organ Rude Pravo said Vatican
propaganda against eastern Europe
is “full of lies.''
Control Appointments
Tile organ said the Vatican seeks
“violence against representatives of
the state, terror against the civilian
population, and the unleashing of
unrest to destroy fruitful work."
As reported by the official news
agency, the bill drafted for par-
liament would provide:
1. Tire state will hold the right
to approve or disapprove of all
church appointments from arch-
bishops down to army chaplains.
2. Tire state will pay all priests
fixed annual salaries.
3. No priest will be paid if he
has been sentenced by a civil court
or if he is not “nationally reliable.”
Operate on Budget
4. Churches will be required to
Inventory all property and will be
forbidden to sell or transfer prop-
erty without approval.
5. Churches will be required to
operate on budgets presented an-
nually in advance.
6. Administrative supervision for
the above powers will be vested in
the ministry of education.
The bill will be discussed by the
church section of the central action
committee, the agency report said,
and will be presented to parliament
after the summer recess.

DEFIES BRIDGE BUILDERS—When El Verano, Calif,
county officials began construction of a highway bridge, they ran
into a little trouble. Mrs. Ruth Denny, whose property *is near the
bridge, stopped the work by standing in front of the construction
equipment, claiming the bridge would ruin a nearby picnic ground.
A few days later the construction men returned to find the area
where the bridge was to be under water. Mrs. Denny had built a
dam across the Sonoma river, backing the water into the construc-
tion area. Standing guard are Mrs. Denny and “Tex" B. Johnson,
a veteran of the “white fleet" of Teddy Roosevelt and former Texas

continue work. <NEA Telephoto).
Negro Killer
Hanged Today
WALLA WALLA. Wash., July 15
—(U.R)—Jake Bird. 47, by his own
confession the most prolific mur-
derer in American history, “for-
gave" the world today just before
he was hanged on the gallows of
state prison.
"There is no hatred in my heart."
he wrote in his own crude hand-
writing. “I hope you all who wit-
ness my death have no malice in
your heart toward me, because I
feel none toward you."
Rev. Arvic Ohrnell, prison chap-
lain, was reading the statement
aloud when the trap was sprung.
Bird, a Negro, who "hexed” all
officials who participated in his
arrest and trial, died for the mur-
der of Mrs. Bertha Kludt during
a robbery. He killed her daughter
too, with the same ax.
In his efforts to avoid execu-
tion, he won one of his three re-
prieves by confessing 29 robbery
murders scattered across the coun-
try, naming names, places, and
dates. Authorities substantiated 11
of them.
Since his conviction, he had pre-
dicted that as a result of his “hex."
mast of the officials would be
"waitin' at the pearly gates" when
he showed up. At least six of them
actually did die of various causes
while he lived on in the prison
death house.
Newman Joins

Elected Principal
Of Hiuhschool There
Jennings B. Newman, member of
the El Reno public school faculty
since 1937 has been elected princi-
pal of the Sapulpa highschool, it
was announced here this morning
by Paul R. Taylor, superintendent
of schools.
Newman is scheduled to assume
his new duties in Sapulpa next
Monday, Taylor said. His family
will remain in El Reno until suit-
able living quarters are obtained in
Sapulpa.
Coming to El Reno in 1937 from
Rush Springs, Newiman first served
as a sixth grade teacher in the
Webster elementary school. Later
he served as principal at Irving
elementary school and also as
principal at the Lincoln elementary
school.
It was while he was principal
at Lincoln that he was called into
the service. He served in the navy
for two years.
Upon his return to El Reno he
was named coordinator of elemen-
tary education and director of vis-
ual education.

Danny Kaye Denies
Teaching Princess
Margaret Con-Con
HOLLYWOOD. July 15—(U.R—
Comedian Danny Kaye today
denied London reports that he
taught Princess Margaret to can-
can.
"Sharman Douglas was working
up a can-can number for this
bie party." Kaye's agent quoted
him as saying. "So she ran
through it for me and I may
have given her a couple of point-
ers, but she already knew it
pretty well.”
Kaye said Princess Margaret
was not present at the “lesson,”
which occurred early this month
when he was in London.
The princess' appearance in a
can-can number at a society
party Monday night is the talk
of the English capital.

Worry England
Dock Workers Remain
Idle; Press Raps Cut
In Dollar Purchases
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
The British labor government
struggled today to settle a stubborn
waterfront strike stifling desperate-
ly needed international trade. The
government laced a storm of crit-
icism from the British press for
its latest austerity plan to cut I
dollar purchases by 25 percent.
Under proclaimed emergency reg-
ulations, British troops began load-
ing export cargoes on London
docks. Foreign trade is Britain's
lifeline. Already the 19-day old
waterfront strike of nearly 15,000
stevedores has dealt the island
kingdom a crushing blow. The
British motor Industry said the
strike crippled the export of some
5,000 cars, trucks and tractors
weekly through the port of London.
Favor Barter Plan
Meanwhile, union leaders met
with leaders of the wildcat strike
in an effort to reach a settlement.
The men claim they were locked
out by the dock management be-
cause they refused to work two
Canadian ships involved in a dis-
pute between two rival Canadian i
unions.
Britain is preparing to propose j
a bilateral semi-barter arrangement j
with the United States at the1
critical financial and economic
talks in Washington next Septem-
ber, it was learned today.
Tlie British labor government
will tell the United States that the
only way it can avoid making even
further cuts in Imports from Amer-
ica would be if America buys more
from the British.
International Dynamite
“We would be ready and eager
to buy more tobacco and more
cotton from America," one official
said, "If America would buy more
rubber and other raw materials in
the sterling area."
Such a proposal is expected to
raise a storm in Washington, where
bilateral agreements are looked
upon as a plague and where con-
tinuing greater pressure is exerted
for multilateralism and abandon-
ment of bilateralism.
The labor government was well
aware that Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer Sir Stafford Crlpps’ an-
nouncement yesterday that Imports
from America will be cut 25 percent
was international dynamite. It ex-
pected adverse reaction from the
U. S.
Now, it was reported, British
Foreign Minister Ernest Bevin may
participate in the continuation of
the crisis debate on Monday to
explain the potential repercussions
of the crisis and especially of the
government’s method of coping with
it.
Didn't Tell All
The major complaint against
] Cripps was that he had failed to
1 tell the people the whole truth—
' that he had sugar coated the bad
I news by minimizing the cuts that
! will have to be made and an-
I nuuncing meat, butter and bacon
ration Increases (none of which are
obtained with dollars) at the same
time.
Both parties—labor and conser-
vative—hauled out the bogey of
unemployment as a weapon. Cripps
and his supporters charged that
unemployment was the conservative
plan for coping with the crisis.

Foe Threatened
Night Riders Fire
Shots Into His Home
ATLANTA. July 15—<U.R>— Five
shots were fired into the home of
a young attorney here late last
night, only a few hours after he
filed suit for a war veteran seeking
court protection from violence at
the hands of the Ku Klux Klan.
Attorney Samuel D. Johnson, 25,
said he was awakened by the slugs
crashing into his house in suburban
Decatur shortly before midnight.
FUed Suit
He said he ran to the door and
found a wooden cross blazing in his
front yard.

partner, Hal C. Irwin, 21, sought a
superior court injunction against

OKLAHOMA CITY. July 15—
(U.R>—Talk of writing a liquor
control law In the legislative
council dwindled today as nearly
100 members of the legislature
gathered for the council’s organ-
izational meeting.
Both Senator Bill Logan, Law-
ton, council chairman, and Rep-
resentative Walter Billingsley.
Wewoka, vice chairman, who
earlier stated the council should
study a control law, said the
question may not even come up
today
Instead, the council's executive
committee may conduct its offi-
cial business of appointing stand-
ing committees, adopting rules of
procedure and quit for the day.
The decision not to discuss a
liquor control law prior to the
Sept. 27 election on repeal stem-
med apparently from the fear
that a fight among the lawmak-
ers on the subject minght en-
danger passage of the repeal
amendment.
Logan said any member of the
executive committee could ask
that the council consider liquor
controls but that the question
could be referred to an unfriendly
committee which might pigeon-
hole it.
“The best thing we can do is
assure the people of Oklahoma
that the legislative council is
not participating on one side or
the other,” Logan said. “If re-
peal is voted, we will write strict
protective laws. If it fails, we
will tighten up the obviously fal-
tering prohibition laws."
Logan said the appointment of
standing committees for the
council is causing considerable
trouble because of a provision in
the new legislative council law
that each member can demand
appointment to two committees.
The result, Logan said, is that
the popular committees on rev-
enue and taxation and on roads
and highways will have some 50
members each. Normally they
should have half that number.
Billingsley echoed Logan's view
that liquor controls will not be-
come a major issue and said the
principal business of the council
meeting will be tlie appointment
of standing committees.
Committees to be named are
agriculture, appropriations and
budget, conservation, education,
judiciary; labor, commerce and
industries; legislative methods
and procedures, public health and
welfare, revenue and taxation,
roads and highways, state and
local government, and veterans
and military affairs.

WASHINGTON, July 15—(U.R)—
As far as the house of representa-

know what you're paying fo rin the
way of fur coats from now on.
For the house has approved, by
voice vote, a bill requiring fur coat
manufacturers to label their prod-
ucts by their real names. The sen-
ate has yet to act on the measure.
Under the legislation, sponsored
by Representative Joseph P. O'Hara
(Republican, Minnesota) furs would
have to be labelled to show the
name of the animal from which
they came.
“Rabbit is sometimes called
beaverette when it is made into a
fur coat," said O'Hara during a
house debate on the bill yesterday.
"There is no such animal.”
O'Hara said he had a high regard
for the fur industry generally. But,
he said, when rabbit is called er-

Secret Meet
While House Shield
Clamps Tight Cover
On All Proceedings
WASHINGTON. July 15—<)P)—A
White House shield of secrecy today
threw a tight cover over a super-
mysterious conference which
brought President Truman together
with top military, atomic, diplo-
matic and congressional leaders.
For two hours and 33 minutes
these men—the list was impressive
—were together behind closed doors
last night in historic Blair house,
the president’s temporary home.
There was no announcement
whatever of what went on. How-
ever. the identity of the partici-
pants pointed strongly toward some
development in the atomic weapons

The New York Times said the
meeting dealt with the question of

No Decisions Made
It was learned later, however, the
newspaper added, that no decisions
were made during the session un-
less the president came to some
determination that he did not dis-
close.
Any decision to give information
to Britain would require an act of
congress before it could be carried
out. Present law forbids disclosure
of atomic information to other
countries.
Tlie 16 men who were closeted
with Mr. Truman were singularly
close-mothed as they left. What
little they did reply to reporters'
questions could be summed up:
"If anything is going to be said,
the president will say it.”
Mr Truman wasn't talking.
There was no sign that he would
