"The next thing I knew." said Sgt. Robert E. Rich of Cincinnati, ”Goonies were talking all around me. They'd moved in right under thelr own artillery."

"They started yelling for me to lay down my weapon and surren- ricr: I guess those were the only English words they knew.

"One Goonle stuck his head into the caved-in bunker and I shot him in the face with my .45. Then there was another and I blasted him at point-blank range.

''I guess they didn't know that shot finished off my ammo. be- cause there were no more to stick their heads in. They threw a gren- title in with me. It had a long fuse on it, though. and I had time to pitch it back out before it went off."

"Next came a. charge of explos- ivcs packed in a long iron pipe." Rich continued, "and I was just shoving that back out the open- ing when the thing went off."

Police Ahilbule Dealhs To Cold- Blooded liurder

GASPE. Que.. tCPl-The decom- posed remains of the last victims of cold-blooded murder-the savage slaying of a party of three bear- hunters from Hollldaysburg. Pa.- were found Thursday deep in the Gaspc woods.

Only one skull has been found. The flesh was eaten by bears; the bones were gnawed.

The victims are: Eugene H. Lindsey. 45; his son Richard. 17; Fred Clear. 20.

How the three were killed- whether shot or beaten to death- was not immediately made known.

The elder Lindsey's remains were found last week, near a. bear trail. at what is known as Camp 24. Those of the younger men were found four miles west, at Camp 26. Both places are described here as logging camps. not now in use.

The one skull was found Thurs- day. Near the remains also were a sweatshirt, with the words "Hol- lldayslrurg Tigers". a watch and a set of upper teeth.

Provincial police made no im- mediate announcement regarding a possible arrest, but the shocked residents of this town of 2.000 ex- pectcd such action momentarily.

In Quebec City rs. spokesman for the attorney-generals department said of the killings: "It is murder -cold-blooded and planned."

Discovery of the two bodies be- came known shortly after the re- turn from the bush of Capt. J. Alphonse Matte. provincial police crime-investigation expert, who came to Gaspe Thursday from Quebec.

Capt. Matte said he will send another crew of 15 into the bush tqdaytn search the area between the.two cabins.

"The search will be thorough and will probably continue for,eev- eral days." he said.

It was indicated that in this scouring of the bush police will seek to turn up every scrap or evidence they can.

Every effort also will be made to establish a motive for the killings, b9119V9d by many Gaspe residents -to be robbery.

Capt Matte said he does not plan ti: return to the area himself today. Presumably he will press the police investigation in Gaspe.

An authoritative medical inform- ant told The Canadian Press that absence of the two skulls might possibly be explained this way. presumably no other disposition had been made of them:

"When a body decomposes and the flesh is eaten. there are no muscles or ligaments to hold the skull to the spine. Bears would not only eat the brain but also the comparatively soft skull bones."

Until Thursday the search had centred largely around the camp area where the elder Lindsey's re- mains were found. It was known he carried with him about 3700, but little more than 81 was found, prompting the belief then that robbery was the motive.

iAdenaueris Party Asks

BONN. Germany. (AP)-Chem cellor Konrad Adenaut.-r's party says the Kremlin should "stop dodging and give a clear yes or no answer" to the West's invita- tion to a four-power conference on Germany and Austria.

West German government lead- era Thursday condemned as a smokescreert an editorial in the soviet Communist party newspaper Pravda which dashed some cold water on conference prospects.

In bitter terms. Pravda impugn- ed the motives of Britain. the Uni- ted States and France in propos- ing the foreign ministers parley. Pravda declared the Western aim was to "strengthen the weakened position of Adenacur in West Ger- many" for the Sept. 6 election here rather than genuinely to seek reunification of Germany and pre- pas-atiort of a peace treaty.

The general impression among German leaders was that Pi'avda's sharpness indicated Mosco will eventually say no. Even the Social- ist party, which has been demand- ing immediate four-power talks on any level, felt pessimistic. The socialists lead Adenauerla Opposi- tion in Parliament.

A Moacovite rejection of the West's bid would be a big factor in the West German election cam- paign. Adenauer has been accused by the socialists oi seeking to tie West Germany into an armed al- liance with the, West before the possibilities of unity have been explored fully. With Moscow's neg- ative answer, he would be able to

say he supported big four talks on unification, but the Russians balk- ed.

The press service of his Christ- ian Democratic party accused the Kremlin of dodging the issue in the Pravda editorial.

Workers vii; For Strike

SAINT JOHN. N. 13.. (GP)- Workers at the Irving Pull? End Paper Ltd, mill in Lancaster have voted 95 per cent in favor of strike action to bolster demands for im- plementatlon of a conciliation board recommendation, a spokesman -Said Friday. . .

The local union president, P. J. Herbert, said further action must await sanction by headquarters of the International Brotherhood of Pulp. Sulphlte and Paper Mill Workers. TLC-AFL.

About 200 workers are involved in the dispute over a demand for higher wages.

The conciliation board recom- mended a bonus payment total of 3130.000 based on a percentage of earnings in I950. 1951 and 1952. Broken down. this would mean payments ranging from 3200 to 3930 to individuals employed dur- lng that period.

Mr. Herbert said the union had offered an alternative proposal for a retroactive increase.

That this Island has the great- est populatlon density and is also the most agricultural Province in Canada were pointed out in a pre- llminary report on soil conserva- tion at the annual meeting of the Agricultural Institute of Canada which ended its sessions at the V0- cational School yesterday.

The report outlined the baci- ground of the subject: and also told

Face Charges Of ThefL

WINNIPEG (CF)-Captain Mar- tin Franklyn smith arrived here by plane late Thursday under R.C.M.P. escort to face charges of theft in connection with disposal of 830,000 worth of brass metal shell cases.

The cases were allegedly stolen from Bhilo. Man., military camp in 1952 while Smith was ordnance officer. The 84-year-old officer will , in provincial police court this morning. ' smith was arrested Wednesday night in his Regina home by R. C. M. P. officers. He has a wife and four children.

Mrs. lmith said the charges are ridiculous.

"We are flat broke. I don't know how I am going to manage. We owe 850 on our light bill and I have four children to f ," she said. "We are always in 'debt and have hardly enough on which to live. I think he was framed."

Farm Problems Discuscsel in liislitute Meeting Reports

the reasons for a program of con- servation and what might be ac- complished by it. It stated that the Province contains 1.400.000 acres of which 84 per cent are pri- vately owned. The population density is 43.5 per square mile with 53.7 percent of the people living on farms.

It. was noted that though over 315,000 acres are classed as wood- land there are no extensive for- est areas. The farm woodlots vary considerably in size and it was stated that a surprisingly large number of formers are now burn- lng coal or oil and as a result neg- lecting their woodlots. In this con- nection the report ncted that while we are cutting pltprops and pulp indiscriminately we are also spending large sums on sawn lum- ber for building.

The report called for more at- tention to soil fertility and for a plan of forest conservation. Among the primary reasons cited for the latter need was the necessity of making profitable use of idle land such as abandoned farms. sub- margiiial areas and non-agricul- tural land; to prevent erosion on hillsides; to maintain a steady flow of brooks, springs and wells; to ease the velocity of the wind; and lastly to attract tourists.

Turnip Root Maggot ' 7

Experlmciital work undertaken at the Farm here in the field of turnip root maggot control was told in a. report by Mr. D. C. Read who said that three species of mag- gots are present in turnip roots. He also told of the greater danger of infestation of fields at various planting times. In order to learn more of this menace to turnip growing here 140 turnip fields in all parts of the Province were Ix- emined.

The time of attack by root mag- got larvae was found to vary from early June in the light. soils to ear- ly August in heavy soila- and it was determined that the time of planting in different areas has a tremendous influence on the dam- age caused to s turnip crop. Late planted turnips in light coll areas are generally quite free of injury. whereas the converse applies in heavy soil areas. .

In telling of measures undertaken to combat the pest the report stated that field scale applications of DUI in spray or dust form with seven day intervals between had proven very effective. A check was kept by using neighboring fields for the purpose. However. despite the satisfactory results obtained it was noted that the files which emerge early in the season are far more active and difficult to con-

lieporl Churchill Disappointed On Outcome of Talks

LONDON. (AP) .. The Marquess of Salisbury. acting foreign secre- tary, Thursday night gave Print! Minister Churchill at first-hand account of the Washington foreign mlnlsters' conference.

The ailing. 78-year-old British leader has been reported "disap- pointed" at the outcome of y the talks. Before he was stricken by extreme nervous fatigue four weeks ago, Clwr-chill had hoped to persuade the U. S. and France to invite the new leaders of Russia to an informal meeting at the highest level in his search for a cold war settlement.

Ballsburv came under. fire from Labor and some government legis- lators in the House of Oommons. They claimed he did not press Churchill's arguments for an early top-level parley of the Big Four powers with sufficient vigor.

Instead the British. French and U. 5. foreign ministers decided in Washington to ask Russian Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov to join them in a conference on Germany and Austria in late September,

This proposal has been bitterly assailed by Pravda but not speci- fically rejected.

The bill. containing proposed amendments to Canada's crim- inal code, was said "to infringe on the rights of labor. tending to restrict strikes and picketing and violate the civil rights of the union worker."
