New Jersey Killer Makes Good Boast That He Would Never Be Taken Alive FLEMINGTON, N. J., (P) — Meek-looking Warren Lee Irwin ended his bloody career of murder, kidnap and rape by firing a bullet into his brain in a rain-drenched clump of poison ivy. The target of New Jersey's greatest manhunt was found shortly after noon (EST) yesterday—sprawled on his back, a trickle of blood still oozing from a .38 caliber bullet hole in his left temple. The body of the 27-year-old desperado lay about one-quarter of a mile from where he abandoned 17-year-old Carolyn Barker, his last captive, and plunged into the woods to escape capture Saturday. State police and FBI agents said Irwin definitely killed himself, thus carrying out his grim vow that he'd never be taken alive. The comely high school girl, kidnapped by Irwin in Washington Thursday night and ravished six times during her 41 hours of captivity, was not told of his suicide. She was taken back to a Washington hospital Saturday night for rest and treatment. Before leaving, Miss Barker, still visibly shaken by her ordeal of horror, said she hoped Irwin suffered before he was captured. In Detroit, his tollworn mother of 59, Mrs. Marie Irwin, heard of his death over the radio after voicing the hope he'd be taken alive. She broke down in uncon- Driverless Motor Boat Runs Amuk LONG BEACH (P)—A speeding 16-foot motorboat, without driver, put on a hair-raising spectacle for thousands of beach fans yesterday.

The driverless boat circle five times on its own, narrowly missing swimmers, anchored boats and the Cabrillo Beach pier. Finally it hit a buoy, was thrown out of gear and stopped. There was only one minor casualty. Regan was cut by bar nacles as he climbed up dock pillings. C-47 Crash Kills Five Servicemen FT.

[Name] [Address] [City] [Zone] [State] Berserk Sniper Spreads Terror In Springfield SPRINGFEILD, Ill. (P)—A berserk sniper spread terror in Springfield's downtown section yesterday for an hour before he fell wounded in a hail of police fire.

John J. Timmons, 45, an employee of Alpha Beta market, (245 N. Los Robles ave.) said he received a three-page letter just before closing time instructing him to turn over the day's receipts. The letter was signed "Five men from Mars." In explaining the well-planned ruse, Timmons said that he had answered a telephone on the mezzanine and a voice told him to return to his checking stand and read a letter which would be there. The cashier found the letter, which threatened harm to his wife and children in Monrovia if he failed to comply with instructions. "Two men are holding your wife and children," the letter said, "and if you give an alarm it will go hard for them." Following instructions, Timmons emptied the money from the safe into a paper bag and walked out of the market, heading toward the railroad tracks. Hearing a low whistle, he turned and saw a masked man clad in a sheepskin jacket. The Bandit said, "That's good, John. You done a good job. Set it down and go back to the store," Timmons told police. Aftern returning, Timmons contacted him family in Monrovia immediately and found that they had not been approached by any "Marsmen."

DELTAY CHARGED Charging cruelty, William L. of Anaheim today brought in Superior court for a di- Course in Defense Contract Administration Now Offered Following closely upon its successful Defense Subcontract Liaison conference, which was enthusiastically received by Southern California manufacturers, Woodbury college is now offering a summer institute for Industrial Management, covering Defense Contract administration. Two phases of defense production, which are of vital importance to all Anaheim area manufacturers, the Controlled Materials Plan and Defense Contract Renegotiation, are slated for a thorough discussion during the course. Many contractors will find this an excellent opportunity to get a complete understanding of these two important subjects. Commencing July 16 and running until Aug. 10, 1951, an intensive four weeks of classes of training for Management will be presented, meeting three hours daily, five days a week from 2 to 5. Three topics will be presented on each day's program with provision for discussion following the subject presentation. Based on the fact that executives must have a thorough understanding of government controls, allocations of materials, inventories, taxes, financing contracts, price controls and material control, as well as all the other problems involved in handling defense contracts, the course is broken down into step-by-step procedure methods. From 2 to 3 p.m. during the fourth, Price and Wage Controls. During all four weeks, from 3 to 4 p.m., Industrial Accounting in a Defense Economy will be analyzed and explained; from 4 to 5 p.m., Human Engineering, the effective utilization of manpower for increasing productivity, will be taught. Registration applications for the Summer Institute for Industrial Management at Woodbury College may be obtained by addressing a request to the College. Those who attended the Defense Conference at Woodbury, and are on the mailing list, will receive their application blanks through the mails. This Training for Management offered by Woodbury College in its Summer Institute is something that cannot be acquired from ordinary teachers, and ordinary textbooks. It is an intensive course taught by skilled instructors who have had contacts with both Government and business either actively or as consultants or researchers. The College holds an enviable record in the Executive Training field and was selected by the Military Training Division of the Ordnance Department for the training of Ordnance Personnel during World War II.
