(P)—A 19-year old private shot a young officer to death as a way out of the Army yesterday while bewildered onlookers sat motionless. Officers today were attempting to decide whether military or civilian authorities should make charges in the case. District Atty. James K. Evetts of Belton, Tex., quoted Pvt. Michael F. Kunak of Baltimore, Md., as saying, "I decided the best way to get out of the Army was to kill a man." Evetts said Kunak made an oral statement to him, other officers and in the presence of a newspaper reporter regarding the fatal shooting of 2nd Lt. Howard Williamson, about 22, of Washington, N.C., around noon yesterday. Williamson was shot in a Long Horn maneuvers bivouac. Witnesses said a young soldier walked into the officers' mess tent of the 82nd Airborne Division Signal company, leveled a .30 caliber carbine at Williamson and fired. Then the soldier told startled officers, "I don't have any more ammunition." Evetts said Kunak told of numerous attempts to get an Army discharge, "I had nothing against the man," Evetts quoted Kunak as saying, "There's nothing straight in my mind. I know I was wrong." Kunak was placed in the Lampases county jail by Sheriff Luther B.

Center Anaheim $269 Legume Seeds Need Bees Veteran growers of legume seed know that they must rely on honeybees for an efficient job of cross-pollination. Therefore, they contact beekeepers well in advance of the time their fields come into bloom in order to have enough bees when they need them. Farm Advisor H. W. Longfellow of the University of California Agricultural Extension service points out that some 155,000 acres in this state were devoted to the production of legume seed this past year. This figure includes all types of alfalfa, ladino clover, Kenland clover, alsike and trefoil. Although solitary bees are sometimes present in parts of fields near non-cultivated areas they can seldom be counted on to secure a maximum seed set. Beekeepers can move their bees from place to place and can locate the hives so as to insure good distribution through the crop. Reducing Massage, Baths, Colon Irrigations Men's and Ladies' Depts.

An all-male jury returned guilty verdicts after more than nine hours of deliberations against Sutton and his key henchman, Thomas (Scup) Kling. Queens County Judge Peter J. Farrell remanded the pair to jail for sentencing. No date was set. Newsmen were the only spectators in the court room when the jury returned at 5:45 a.m. The two defendants displayed no emotion as the jury foreman droned "guilty" four times for each defendant on counts of robbery, burglary, assault, and grand larceny. For the first time since their arrest in February, the two men were locked up in the same jail. Sutton had been kept in Queens and Kling in Manhattan because of their records as jail breakers. FROM SOBER BACK TO SOBER LOS ANGELES (P)—A dancer who wouldn't take a drink wants to become Miss Sober again. Mrs. Selma Mary Fini, 32, obtained a divorce from Silvio A. Fini, 34, also a dancer, yesterday. She testified he berated her constantly because she refused to drink with him. She asked the court to restore her maiden name, Selma Mary Sober. Truman Probably Fixed Financial For the Day He Faces the 'Outsider' WASHINGTON (P)—Harry S. Truman seems likely to be more comfortably fixed financially when he leaves the White House than he was when he entered it seven years ago. There is no information available on how much of his pay the president has been able to salt away, but some of his associates believe it's enough to keep the wolf from comin anywhere near the Truman doorstep. The president, who announced Saturday night he wouldn't accept nomination for another term, has been drawing a $100,000-a-year salary since January, 1949—plus an annual $50,000 tax-free allowance. When he took office April 12, 1945, the presidential pay was $75,000 a year—all of it taxable. As vice president under Franklin D. Roosevelt from January until April of that year, Truman was paid at the rate of $20,000 a year—a job that now pays Alben Barkley $30,000, and a $10,000 non-taxable allowance. As a senator from Missouri before he was elected vice president, Truman's salary was $10,000 a year. That was $2500 less base pay than Senators now receive, and they also currently draw a $2,500 tax-free expense allowance. After becoming president, Truman let it be known that as a senator he had to hire his wife as his secretary because his $10,000 salary would not pay all his expenses. IN 1947 WHEN he had been expenses for 12 months. At that time there wereictions that instead of savings when he stepped the White House he would be faced withheavy personal debt. The big pay increase seems to have reverseduation. Helping, too, more than three years mans lived at Blair Hovel November, 1948, until late while the White House remodelled. Expenses were much temporary living quarters Pennsylvania ave. Less help was required and did a big saving on entertainment.

After becoming president, Truman let it be known that as a senator he had to hire his wife as his secretary because his $10,000 salary would not pay all his expenses. IN 1947 WHEN he had been president two years, it was estimated that he would have only about $4,200 left of his $75,000 salary after payment of taxes and pay than Senators now receive, and they also currently draw a $2,500 tax-free expense allowance.

At that time there were predictions that instead of naying any savings when he stepped out of the White House he probably would be faced with a rather heavy personal debt. The big pay increase in 1949 seems to have reversed that situation. Helping, too, were the more than three years the Trumans lived at Blair House—from November, 1948, until last week—while the White House was being remodelled. Expenses were much less at the temporary living quarters across Pennsylvania ave. Less domestic help was required and there was a big saving on entertainment. With more pay and a reduction in expenses, the president had a chance to save for that rainy day. And those around him figure he probably did a pretty good job of it. Truman is a frugal man with simple tastes and can be expected to live modestly when he returns to private life. There is no federal pension for ex-presidents, and Congressional officials say he isn't eligible for a pension based on the 10 years he was a senator. The pension plan for former members of Congress went into effect after he was in the White House, and it had no retroactive feature. TRUMAN'S DECISION to bow out means some of his cronies in the government will be looking for new jobs next January. For example, the president's Army aide, Maj. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan, un- White House, is a reserve officer who probably won't remain an active duty. In the cabinet, only Secretary of the Treasury Snyder is generally regarded as being in the category of presidential cronies. Snyder is known to have had several offers to go back into the banking business, but he has preferred to stay on with Truman. A new president will want to select his own cabinet, so there probably will be new men running the top departments. As for the White House staff, most of the members reportedly are expecting to step out with Truman. They include: John R. Steelman, an assistant to the president and now acting director of defense mobilization, who was a professional mediator of labor disputes before he came to the White House.
