Boy Uses 'Human Shield'in Gun Tiff BOSTON, June 24 grade school boy was held today on two changes with intent to kill after allegedly emptying his pistol at two patrolmen and dragging another youth at gunpoint from a school yard to serve as a human shield.

Police Captain John H. Cloran said that Edward Bancroft, 15, five feet one inch talr and weighihg only 5)8 pounds, held off a large force of riot reserves yesterday and slightly wounded one patrolman before art officer crept behind him and clubbed him into submission. Patrolman James Bray, Whose right forearm was grazed by a bullet, said the seventh grade student unexpectedly pulled a gun ahd fired five shots as he and another officer sought to question him concerning a bundle he had under his arm. He then dashed into a nearby school yard, the patrolman Reported, ahd seized William Ronan, "human dragged him, with a pistol at his right hip, into a narrow street, Bray said the young gunman kept threatening to shoot his hostage if police fired, moving all the time toward a fence, which he finally tried to scale after holding off pursuers for ten minutes. The frightened young Ronan said he was "just going into school when this guy came running up with a in his hand and grabbed me.

I was scared. I think I tried to get the gun away from him, but I'm not sure." While the drama was being enacted, Frank Cushing, a Boston' Herald-Traveler photographer, climbed to an exposed position on a nearby building to film a record of the undersized boy's stand behind his human shield for his paper and Associated Press wirephoto. Cushing, uncertain whether, Bancroft still had bulets left in his weapon, said, he, too, was "scared- after it was all over."

Delivery Service Grade Crossings Hearing Scheduled Here July 18 A public tearing on the Chlcagd and North Western Railway Company's application for permanent Closing of grade crossings on Rives and Conro Streelts has been uled for July 18, the state public service commission announced day at Madison. The hearing will be conducted in the court house here, starting at 10 a.

m. that day. In a formal notice of the hearing, the commission pointed out that the railroad filed ah application May 5 for authority to close the two grade crossings "in the event the commission issues an order requiring protection at grade Crossings on certain streets in Rhinelander as petitioned for by the city." On May 10 the railroad filed an amendment eliminating the condition and asking authority to close the grade crossings in any event. The city has asked the public service commission to require the railroad to install automatic warning signals at the Davenport Street, Pelham Street and Oneida Avenue grade crossings. Several hearings 6n this petition have been held here, but the public service commission has not yet announced its decision in this matter.

At one time during discussions Of the proposed protection at the crossings the city and the railroad agreed on the closing of the Rives Street crossing. The city has refused to agree to closing of the Cohro Street crossing, However, contending that many South side residents use that street to reach the Curran School, St. Mary's School and St. Mary's Church. Railroad officials have argued that the Conro Street crossing should be closed because it will cost more than $5,000 additional for crossing protection.

Traffic would have to go only one block to the Pelham Street crossing, it has contended, and all traffic on Conro Street is local and not through traffic. Erection of warning devices at 'Conro Street, only one block from Pelham Street, would be wasteful and unnecessary, the railroad has argued.

Eagle River's Stadium to House Radio Programs A variety of top-notch radio tertainment for the summer lies ahead for residents and visitors in the Eagle River-Rhinelander area. The Eagle River stadium is being enlarged to provide the maximum seating accommodation both for the coming winter for the home games of the hockey Falcons and. for the summer when many well- known radio stars and programs will be broadcast from the Eagle River athletic center. Phil Tyrrell, of Chicago, representative of the United Artists Guild.

is arranging the summer schedule of radio entertainment which will include "Breakfast Club" and "Fun Show," both over the Mutual Broadcasting System. Tyrrell, who visited friends recently at the Jack o'Lantern, is bUsy booking the entertainment which will get underway mid-JUly. The Chicagoan is not sponsoring the project from a profit motive but is reportedly busying himself in the venture purely because of his Eagle River friends and his desire to bring first class radio entertainment to the area.

The new construction will add greatly to the seating capacity for the coming hockey season, he said Today adequate military preparedness is our best guarantee of peace.

New Law to Bring Figures on State Fishing Activity Wisconsin finally is on the way toward finding out how many people indulge annually in its major fishing.

The new general fishing law, now in effect, requires that everyone between the ages of 18 and 65 who fishes by any method or with any equipment must buy a $1 fishing license. The conservation department said today that there as yet has been little evidence that the cane pole fishermen appreciate that they must have a license this year but fishing license sales are expected to boom in the coming weeks. Non-residents of the state always have been required to buy a license and last year there were 215,595 non-resident licenses sold. Residents who were content to fish with simple equipment and without the use of a reel and with one line were not required to buy a license up to this year. There were 357,938 resident fishing licenses sold last year.

The total number of people fishing in Wisconsin annually has been estimated variously at from a half to a million people. The actual figure will be of extreme importance in showing the fishing pressure and will open the way for the development of further information needed for a factual fish management program. Fish managers also would like to have data.on the tonnage of fish taken from Wisconsin's lakes and streams annually. Cold, wet weather has dampened Wisconsin's fishing enthusiasm during the early part of the year but warmer weather is expected to see the state's record turnout of fishermen.
