YOUTH STABBED STEP-FATHER TO HIS DEATH SPECIAL UNIT TO Attorney General Is Asking For More Men To Enforce Anti-Red Legislation WASHINGTON, Sept. 24. (IP) Attorney General McGrath said today he is creating a special unit to "vigorously enforce" tha controversial anti-Communist legislation enacted yesterday by Congress. McGrath said in a statement that he is asking the Budget Buitau tu provide more money for sufficient help to staff the new branch. lie did not state the number needed but other department sources pre dicted it would be perhaps hundreds.

The unit will be a part of th criminal division of the department, handling the new control legisla tion which President Truman de nounced in a veto message as weakening existing security measures and hampering the FBI. Mr. Truman said its registration provisions were unworkable and would "waste immense amounts of time and energy" of the Justice Department. McGrath also had assailed parts of the bill, bnt he said today his department was "taking immediate steps" to enforce it. Unofficially, members of the de partment viewed their new job of enforcement with misgivings.

Comment from the Communist Party indicated the task may be made tougher by obstruction and litigation. TOKYO, Monday, Sept. 25. (IP) V. S.

Veteran forestry officials said Alberta's fire picture is more alarming than serious.

(By The Associated Press) Thick layers of smoke, coming from Canadian forest fires, spread from, the Great Lages area south and east to cover most of the northeastern states yesterday (Sunday). The smoke brought the darkness of night to many cities in midday.

Western Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan had the thickest smoke palls. But the huge layers of smoke moved from the Great Lakes area into all the Middle Atlantic States, through the Ohio Valley and as far east as southwestern New England. The New York Weather Bureau said the smoke spread as far soutn as Virginia and as far west as Iowa. It originated, said the Washington Weather Bureau, in smouldering forest fires in northern Alberta and the District of MacKenzie in Canada. If so, it traveled more than 2,000 air miles to reach the eastern seaboard.

The New York Weather Bureau said that at 8:30 p. m. (EST) the continuous smoke cloud was about 600 miles long on land. How far it extended out to sea, the bureau couldn't tell. On its fringe, the cluod made the sun in Richmond and Bristol, pale and obscured, like a full moon.

The sun was purple in Philadelphia. But three Philadelphia experts said they didn't believe it was smoke at all. They agreed that the purple sun was caused by ice crystals. The smoke hampered flying, and caused lights to be turned on in mid-afternoon at several major league baseball games. At least one professional football game Pittsburgh at Detroit also was played under lights.

Telephone calls flooded newspaper offices, radio stations, weather bureaus and airports. (Continued on Page Two) GIRL TELLS OF 15-Year Old Girl Tells Police That She Had A Desire To Kill Someone UKIAH, Sept. 24. UP) Sheriff Beverly Broaddus said today 15-year old girl told him she shot and killed a 70-year old rancher out of "a desire to kill" and then walked 23 miles to tell about it. Sheriff Broaddus reported the girl, Helen George, told him she shot Samuel C.

Walitch at his ranch home near Farley, about 43 miles north of here. After listening to the girl's story, Broaddus and four deputies went to the place and, using a wheelbarrow part way, brought back the body of the aged rancher, who had been shot behind the left ear. The killing took place yesterday, Broaddus said Helen told him. After she had been left alone at th Robert Harkey ranch where she was living with her grandmother, Mrs. Helen Heitz.

Then, said Helen, she took Har-key's pistol from its holster and walked two miles to the Walitch ranch. As Walitch stood at the stove his back to her, Helen placed a shell in the automatic and fired at him, felling him instantly, Uroaddus said the girl related. Shi walked down mountain slopes to Willits and told the story to Peter North, a pastor and his wife. They were incredulous at first, but finally called police. The sheriff said his preliminary talk with the girl, held in the detention home, indicated she may be a mental case.

He said Helen told him ehe wanted to kill her father, Melvin George of Santa Rosa because she doesn't like him. The whereabouts of mother Is unknown, said Broaddus. Preceded by an eerie glow, the darkness of night settled over Haz leton and vicinity yesterday, causing a small measure of alarm which was soon alleviated when tho cause of the phenomenon was made known. The Standard-Sentinel office was beseiged with telephone calls from persons, both adults and children seeking to learn the reason for the early darkness. By the time the full effect of the strange glow and then the strange darkness was cast upon the Hazle.

ton area reports from other sec tions of the state and country be gan pouring in, giving an explana tion. Associated Press dispatchts stated that the United States Weather Bureau at Washington had advised the phenomenon was caused by thick layers of smoke which drifted down from Canada where more than thirty forest fires were reported smoldering and burning in Northern Alberta and the District of MacKenzie. The heavy, dense smoke cloud, which cast a pall from the Great Lakes area io all of iiie Middle Atlantic States, the Ohio Valley, Southwestern New England and as far south as Virginia, was reported variously as from 3,000 to 10,000 feet thick and from 17,000 to 25,000 feet up by airplane pilots. The layers seemed to enter Pennsylvania at the northwest corner and spread across the upper half the state. Lock Haven reported being blacked out.

Then came reports from Bloomsburg, William-sport and Pottsville. First evidence of the strange phenomenon came to the Hazleton area shortly before 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, as the sun through the smoke cloud formation cast a many-colored hue over the area.

He made his way to-the fighting front and said he was a re- placement.

Then the story came out. Officers were perplexed, nothing like this ever happened before. A cable went to Washington and now Pretzer is assigned to the 25th Division.

UP) Secretary of Commerce Sawyer said tonight he expects more controls on business to be necessary but he made no prediction when. He mentioned (1) "perhaps" a halt in manufacture of certain articles using materials needed for the military effort, and (2) "probably" priorities for manufacture of military orders. Sawyer said that requisitions may be required to take materials away from hoarders seeking to profiteer on the war.

Just now, he said, he does not plan to use this power except if necessary in cases of unreasonably high inventories. Sawyer squelched any hopes that better war news from Korea will ease home front pressure. At the same time, however, the ecietary declared there is no reason why this country cannot turn out all the fighting equipment needed to meet the threats ahead and still "enjoy the highest stand ard of living in the world." Sawyer made clear that some civilian sacrifices and cuts are expected, but he pointed out that the size of the military demand, when this is fully determined, will govern the impact on civilian life.
