Outraged by the attacks on their society, they have risen to repel the danger. The same alertness, the same moral courage, the same effctive counter-attack by publicity and legal process are now re quired to answer the arrogant challenge of the criminal un derworld. If any doubt of this necessity existed, it has been removed by recent outrages designed to silence citizens who have dared aid the law. The bomb slaying of Mr. and Mrs. Homer Wright in New Haven is only the latest of these attacks on citizens who express their loyalty in active, courageous support of the law. Mr. Wright had thwarted a holdup and was to be the chief witness. The accused had been released on bail, and had tried to suppress Mr. Wright’s testimony by bribery. Then a bomb was planted in the Wright truck. This comes hard on top of the shooting of Arnold Schus ter, the Brooklyn clothing salesman who spotted the fugitive Senato7 Estes Kefauver of Tennes- datTtoday' bank robber Willie Sutton and pointed him out to police, see today was in the position of The young man and his family received numerous threats, bein S’ touted as a probable victor and then he was slain within a few rods of his home.

Nuckols, U.N. command spokes man. The news blackout 1 was estab lished in an effort to break one of three deadlocks preventing - agree ment on an armistice. The theory is: negotiators will talk more readily compromises if they are out of the propaganda limelight. THEIR PROBLEM is how to ex change prisoners.
