JOPLIN GLOBE, TUESDAY, APRIL 9, 1946. TRAVELERS AID GETS MANY HOUSING PLEAS Of 477 Requests for or Apartments in March, 299 Were Filled, Director Reports. Bequests for housing information to the U. S. Aid totaled 477 during March, Miss Eva Wilson, director of the service, said yesterday.

Of these requests, 239 answered with housing placements by the service. Both figures include service men desiring only overnight housing, Miss Wilson pointed out. The Travelers Aid service is now conducting the major phase of housing placement. A bureau at the Chamber of Commerce has been discontinued for the present, and all requests there are now referred to the Travelers Aid. Children a Complication.

Miss Wilson said that a larger number of two-room apartments becoming available in Joplin 'than previously were to be had. On the other hand, more persons are searching for housing, she said. Most apartment owners who have a two-room apartment are reluctant to rent to persons with children, Miss Wilson said, as there is usually the problem of sharing a bath and other facilities involved. It is families with children who are having the most difficulties. The service keeps no list of persons applying for apartments.

The only records kept are of apartments and rooms for rent. Finding quarters is a matter of being at the Travelers Aid when something is available, the director added. She also urged that owners having vacant rooms or apartments call Travelers Aid and list facilities. The service has no other way of knowing available places. Services of the U.

S. Aid increased materially in March, according to reports given at the April meeting of the operating committee, presided over by Mrs. Ruth Balsley, chairman. While the number of relatives of soldiers stationed at Camp Crowder visiting the city has decreased, the service to the men themselves now constitutes a larger percentage of the total services, which reached 1,248 last month. FIVE DIVORCE DECREES GRANTED IN DIVISION 2 Five divorces were granted yesterday by Judge Woodson Oldham In division No.

Johnson; Margaret Allen from Arthur Allen, with restoration of her former name of Conley; Vera Mitchell from Arthur Mitchell, with restoration of her former name of Williams, and La- Veta Ray from Melvin "Ray. SCHOOL STAND ON SOCIAL ACTIVITIES IS DEBATED A debate, "Should Our Educational Institutions Minimize Social Activities?" formed the program of the Toastmasters' Club at a regular meeting last On the affirmative Harold J.

Schuchman, J. W. Boysen and O. B. Commons.

Senate Votes Temporary Housing Bill; Debates Building Material Subsidy Plan Washington, April $253,727,000 fund to get temporary housing for veterans cleared congress today while the senate debated the administration's plan to spend $600,000,000 on building material subsidies.

The senate laid aside the latter measure temporarily to pass the $253,727,000 appropriation and send it to President Truman. It is intended to provide 102,350 temporary homes for veterans and their families by remodeling wartime barracks and temporary housing. The program calls, too, for moving these facilities from industrial centers, if no longer needed, to college towns overflowing with veterans going to school under the G. bill of rights. No Vote on Measure.

The senate quit for the day without voting on any points of the building subsidy legislation. Majority Leader Berkley of Kentucky told reporters after the session that he hoped for a final vote tomorrow. In today's debate, charges were made that OPA's pricing policies have helped create the building materials shortage. Senator McClellan, democrat, Arkansas, told his colleagues "the reason for the lumber shortage is the failure of OPA to get together with the industry on a price which will permit production." Similarly, Senator Wherry, republican, Nebraska, protested that "we haven't given industry a chance to produce lumber or bricks or other materials because of our pricing policy. We're taking the incentive route without giving pri- viate enterprise a chance." Blaming Chester Bowles, former OPA head and now stabilization director, Wherry demanded: "Get him out of office.

Democratic Leader Barkley of Kentucky took personal charge of steering to passage thf measure aimed at getting 2,700,000 additional homes built in 1946 and 1947. Defends Incentive Plan. He defended the incentive payments as a plan which would permit sale of homes about $500 cheaper, on the average, than they would cost if prices were raised to stimulate production of building materials. Barkley argued, too, that Housing Expediter Wilson Wyatt could start paying subsidies, or premium payments, without delay, whereas there would have to be a lengthy investigation to determine how much prices should be raised. Senator Saltonstall, republican, Massachusetts, retorted that Wyatt would have to make a similar investigation to determine what subsidies were needed.

When Senator Vandenberg, republican, Michigan, wanted to know how the $600,000,000 figure was reached, Barkley said housing agencies had surveyed the situation and decided that was an "appropriate sum." The general debate delayed votes on several points of controversy. One is a move by Senator Capehart, republican, Indiana, to halve the $600,000,000 fund. Republicans also planned an attempt to take out a provision permitting Wyatt to guarantee a market for prefabricated houses. Other main provisions of the measure include: A billion-dollar increase in the government's authorization to insure home mortgages. Ceiling prices on both new and existing homes and on building lots.

Authority until December 31, 1947, for Wyatt to control use of materials so as to channel supplies to housing rather than other types of construction. CONTINUANCE GIVEN IN 2 MURDER CASES Trial of -I. O. 1'arUer. Chared In Slaying of Tenant.

Deferred at Request of Attorney. YEAR'S EXTENSION OF DRAFT WITH 4 TO 6 MONTHS' BAN (Continued from Page 1) and house military committees have agreed to vote at closed sessions tomorrow on the administration's politically touchy request for a one- year extension with inductees serving 18 months. Estimates on Shortages Vary. During sharp questioning by senators, Eisenhower conceded that 18- year-old youths do not make the best soldiers for occupation of Germany and Japan; that estimates on army shortages, if the draft dies, vary from 165,000 to more than and that during the past month the army has reduced the possible number of volunteers by raising the passing score for its aptitude tests. Senator Johnson bluntly told Eisenhower that the army has asked for "boypower" of 18-year-olds.

"Unless those men are there General MacArthur is going to have trouble," Eisenhower replied, referring to troops for occupation duty in Japan. Eisenhower pointed out the local draft boards already have "combed over" their lists of older men many ticnes. He promised several times that not a man will be drafted if there are enough volunteers, but said existence of the draft is an incentive to volunteer. Quizzed on Test Score. Senator Revercomb, republican, West Virginia, asked about an in- in the army "competency score" from 59 to 70 points that had reduced volunteers accepted.

Eisenhower asked Major General Willard S. Paul, army personnel chief, to explain it. General Paul said that with the reduction in the army from'more than 8,000,000 to 1,070,000 planned 'or July 1, 1947, it was necessary raise ctandards. He added that a 59-point rating is equivalent to a ourth-grade education and the new 70-point minimum to a fifth-grade. Paul said the low score army men "can't learn, get into trouble, and keep the army in trouble." The general said Russia, Fng- and and France fear that this country might become "so weak" could not carry out pledges to occupy Germany and Japan.

He of an inquiry from Marshal Sregory Zhukov, Russian military eader and colleague on the four- power council occupying Germany, as to how long United States troops would assist in Germany, Senator Johnson asked the Russians had discussed the atomic bomb. General Eisenhower said Zlrjkov "discounted it more than I did pos- Sibly because they did not have it." "The atomic bomb could not oc- NEGRO BANDIT HOLDS UP LIQUOR STORE Flees In Car After Forcing Woman Clerk to Hand Over Between 9200 and $300. cupy Europe," merited.

A "zoot-suited" Negro bandit held up and robbed a woman clerk of between 5200 and $300 at the Wolfenbarger liquor store, Thirty-second and Main streets, about 10 o'clock last night and escaped in a motor car.

Police said the bandit, pretend- Ing to have a gun in his coat pocket, threatened Miss Dorothy Martin, the clerk, and forced her to hand over the store's cash receipts for the day. Clerk Alone in Store. The bandit was described by police as wearing the latest style "zoot suit" and a "big-apple hat," a wide brimmed hat. He drove away in a motor car that was parked in front of the establishment. Miss Martin was alone in the store at the time of the robbery.

Detectives who investigated say they believe the bandit was from out-of-town. The robbery was the first of its kind in Joplin -since last winter when a series of holdups were staged here. TAKE PRICE TOPS OFF MANY ITEMS (Continued from Page 1) soon as they were "no longer needed to safeguard the country from the disaster of inflation." Porter said farmers and small businesses would not be hurt by the industrial order, eince the suspension has been limited "to products they do not generally use." As in the case of the consumer products, Porter a i controls would be restored if inflationary prices or serious diversion of manpower, materials or facilities occurred. Products covered by the Industrial order are under six main classifications electrical, machine tools, processing machinery, construction equipment, transportation equipment and miscellaneous items. Among products from which controls are being removed are elertric motors of 250 horsepower of greater, steam-hydraulic and gas turbines, large-sized machine tools, toth new and second hand, numerous types of textile machinery, specially built web-fed tse-vspaper and magazine printing presses, dredges, locomotives and tenders, railroad cars, dies, jigs and fixtures, some dieseJ engines and mechanical precision springs Two murder cases, scheduled for trial in the April term of circuit court, which opened yesterday, were continued until September term on defense applications, and much of the entire criminal docket PRINTER SLAYS WIFE, MOTHER, 2 CHILDREN Molns Man KUIIH Amuck Tick and Neighborhood With Gun.

Counsel for J. O. Parker, a Joplin apartment house owner charged with murder in the slaying of a tenant.

Robert Turner, in December, filed an affidavit from Douglas Mahnkey, an attorney from Forsyth, that he has been retained as a defense attorney and that he is occupied in the state legislature, of whicji he is a member. Under the law, a continuance is mandatory in the case of an attorney retained as counsel who is in the legislature. Miller Trial Postponed. Judge Walter E. Bailey, with whom the affidavit was filed, promptly granted the continuance until the September term.

Parker is at liberty on bond. It is the second continuance granted in the case, it having been carried over from the January term on a defense application. The case of William Claude Miller, returned here from the state penitentiary for trial on a charge of murder in the slaying in 1928 of Detective Alec Brown, was continued on the application of his attorney, Max A. Patten, who said he has just been retained and has not had sufficient time to prepare the defense. Miller is in jail without bond.

Miller, formerly of Carterville has served 17 years of a life sentence for slaying the officer. He was granted the right of trial recently on technical grounds, the Cole county circuit court holding that he should have consulted counsel before he pleaded guilty to the murder in 1929. Other cases continued over the term in division No. 1 are as follows: Richard L. Reed, charged with car theft; Jack Watson, chargec -with common assault and peace disturbance; Ben Carter and John Hill, charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor; J.

Hooper, charged with car theft Lindell McCoy, charged with drunken driving, and Jack Wright charged -with petit larceny. Two cases dismissed by the state in division No. 1 were Alpha Wyant charged with receiving stolen property, and Violet Swindell and Pop Hayner, charged with misconduct. New Trial April 29 for Negro. The case of Carey N.

Porter, a Negro returned here from the state penitentiary in Jefferson City for trial on -six charges -of car theft, was set for April 29 and an attorney was named to defend him. Porter's case is similar to that of Miller. He pleaded guilty to all six charges here in 1939 and received sentences totaling 24 years. He was recently granted the right of trial because he did not consult counsel before he pleaded guilty. Other cases set for trial In division No.

1 are: David Ellison of Alba, charged in two counts with giving liquor to minors; Imogene Ruth Crain, charged with larceny; JEarl Skaggs, charged with common assault; Virgil Randall, charg- rape, and Thornton, on two counts with for- ed with charged gery. The Ellison case grew out of the death of Jo Ann Betebenner, an Alba high school girl, last February 20. a case that has never been solved. It is alleged that the night she died Ellison gave her and another girl, Betty Fox, some liquor at his home in Alba. Randall, a Webb City bus and cab driver, is accused of having criminally assaulted the Fox girl.

In Division Xo. 2. Two criminal cases were dismissed by tbe state and several others were continued over to court term when the criminal docket was called in division No. 2-of circuit court by Judge Woodson Oldham. Criminal trials were set for April 29.

The following cases were dismissed by the state: David DePage, charged with check forgery, and Ned Wayne, charged with passing a worthless check. Cases were continued as follows: Owen Reeves, charged with child abandonment; C. C. Owen, charged with drunken driving; J. L.

McCoy, charged with drunken driving; Joseph O. Edwards, charged with burglary and larceny. The following cases were set for trial April 29; Roy Hammonds, shotgun before police wounded and captured him, Detective Chief Paul were dismissed yesterday. St. John'w.

Mrs. Alma Peel; of Quapaw, a patient since last Tuesday, was dismissed yesterday. Mrs. Lavon Paxson of Baxter Springs was admitted yesterday for medical treatment. Mrs.

E. Shank, 1706 Sergeant and son, born March 28, Castelline The man, said. William C. Irwin, 41, also shot and wounded a 5-year-old neighbor girl en route to school, killed Dan, the family dog, with the grubbing tool and showered police and neighboring houses with shotgun pellets before surrendering meekly to a patrolman he'd known for 20 years, the officer added. Treated for a leg flesh wound, Irwin was stripped and lodged in a padded cell at police headquarters.

Murder Charge Filed. Castelline filed a first degree murder charge against Irwin, accusing him of slaying the four members of his family. At the printer's arraignment this afternoon he did not enter a plea, but said he wanted an examination by an insanity specialist. He was held without bond and transferred to the county jail. The detective chief said Dr.

S. Price, chairman of the Polk county instantily commission, examined Irwin, but expressed no opinion as to the man's sanity. Castelline added that he presumed the examination was made as a preliminary to an insanity commission hearing. Later Dr. Price, who made the brief examination at the request of County Attorney Vernon Seeburger, said Irwin in his opinion was "undoubtedly insane." Mrs.

Edith Irwin, 38, the man's wife, and Mrs. Mary Alice Irwin, 64, his mother, were dead when police arrived. Two sons, John, 8, and Henry, 5, died en route to a hospital. A. third son, William, 11, had left for school before the slayings.

"God had ordered me to kill my family," Castelline said Irwin told him. "I had an impulse. I'm crazy. Don't what I done prove it?" The neighbor girl, Geraldine Nelson, was wounded in the leg, but ran out of range as a second shotgun blast was fired at her, the chief said. She was not seriously injured.

Castelline said this is what happened. Strikes Mother Down. Screaming, Irwin's wife ran from the house with the printer in pursuit. He struck her down on the lawn, repeatedly hacked at her with the long-handled, two-edged garden tool. His mother, working in an adjoining garden space was felled beside her hoe.

The two boys were cut down near their mother. Loring Larsen, a neighbor, hurried to the scene when he heard the screams and tried to talk Irwin out of the weapon. "Beat it or you'll get it, too," Irwin told him. Larsen raced home to call police, turned just in time to see Irwin strike down the second boy. Irwin then got the shotgun, fired at adjoining houses without injuring anyone and shot repeatedly at the officers before Patrolman William Thacker, longtime friend of the man, wounded and captured Irwin.

Castelline said Irwin told him he had spent some time in a Chicago mental institution. Irwin left his last Thursday for a few days off because of what he referred to as a "nervous condition."

Washington, April United States confirmed a change in its Latin-American policy tonight by declaring it would sign a hemispheric defense pact with Argentina if the regime there lived up to its commitments. Previously, emphasis had been placed on denunciations of the Argentine government and refusal to sit down with it to draw the defense pact.
