Hoosier Arrested For Murder Attempt Attempted To Kill Wife And Himself NEW ROSS, Ind. UP — A man who atempted to kill himself and his estranged wife with a home made dynamite bomb said today he touched off the explosion be-, cause she spurned his plea to ’ return 'to him. Hubert Paul Redman, 52, waz held at nearby Crawfordsville, Ind. under $5,000 bond on charges of assault with intent to commit a felony and malicious mayhem. ■ After the blast Sunday, which almost demolished the first floor of his home but failed to injure Redman or his wife seriously, police found a second bomb hidden in the wife’s chest of drawers. Twenty-nine-year-old Martha Belle Redman told state police she had come back to her home to pick up some clothing after leaving her husband. When he asked her If she would return to him, she said “No.” "This is it," Redman said grimly and pulled a light switch to which the bomb was rigged. The blast rocked the neighborhood. Although both Redman and his wife were slightly injured, she was .quickly released from the hospital and he was detained primarily for observation. Redman apologized later for “making a mess of things” and admitted to sheriff's deputies that he had hoped to kill both himself and his wife. The deputies said they found the second bomb In a drawer containing some of Mrs. Redman’s cloth Ing. They said the bomb was not rigged to go off when the drawer was opened. However, they called it an “extremely clever device’’ made up of sig sticks of dynamite and four dry dell batteries. Mrs. Redman’s five-year-old twin children by an earlier marraige and her younger brother accompanied her to the house to help her get her They were not injured in the explosion. The woman said sne had been married to Redman about a year and left him six weeks ago.

The Thuriderjet pilots broke off the action to avoid flying into Russian territory. The dls c 1 0.8 ur e immediately heightened fears in wasr - jittery Japan that further shooting incidents might be the spark needed to ignite World War 01. The first official Japanese reac-' tlon came from Takejo Shimoda. chief of the foreign office treatyx bureau, who said that since Japan asked the United States to defend it, “any responsibility is Japan’s.” Today’s Incident was the first in which American guns were fired at Russian aircraft. On two occasions, American patrol planes inside Japanese territory have disappeared, victims of Sovieti fighter planes.

Urges Citizens To Support Four Bills Mayor Doan Urges Aid By Citizens Mayor -John Doan, a membe • of the Indiana municipal league, to-, day urged citizens of Decatuit to lend active support to four hills now in the committees of the sjtate legislature, by writing, wiring or telephoning members pf the Committees. \ Mayor Doan has long been an advocate of the cities receiving more of a tax cut from state collected lands. He s concurred with the view of Mayor Ralph] Tucker, president of the municipal league, in the statement he made recently: “These are all fair bills and a sharing of state-collected funds with the taxpayers of the cities and towns who pay about 85 percent of the state’s income is long past due. Passage of these bills will tend to reduce the city and town property taxes which are fast reaching the point of confiscation.” No; 1 Is H.B. 116, titled “Alcoholic beverage tax distribution,” which provides for the distribution of one-half of the original alcoholic beverage gallonage tax rto civil cities ahd towns.' It would return about $3,600,000 or 'about $1.40 per capßa.] In Terre Haute, according to the mayor, it I would mean a rebate of help pay increased police costs imposed by the liquor traffic. No. 2 Is H.B. 167, titled “Clga- ' rette tax distribution” and allocates 1 50 per cent of the cigarette tax to I the state; 32% per cent to cities 1 and towns, and 17Ms per cent to the counties. About $4,550,000 to the ' cities and towns, or about SI.BO per ■ capita. Locally, It means a return • of approximately $115,000 which • would help pay the rising costs of 1 j fire protection caused by cigarettes. No. 3 is H.B. 247, ..pitied “Muntclr pal tax exemption,” exempting from • taxation Income ftom legally authorised operations, such as. the var- •; iouA tides in Deming Park, golf, 1 tennis and other recreational items. 1 This tax* (levied on the revenue > realized from su’ch pursuits, the mayor asserted, ’[’is obnoxious and un-American taxation of its governmental functions.” The foregoing hills arc in the hands of a committee known as ways and means, composed of Ba- [ ker, chairman; Andrew, ranking

Senate bill 202 is another bill which the mayor said is vitally im-, portant. The bill provides for distribution of 10 per cent, or about $9,000,000 of the net collections of the gross income tax to cities, towns and connties. Terre Haute, Mayor Tucker revealed, Would realize about $150,000 back,; which ultimately would cut property taxes.

The dread weapon, with a reported destructive raige of up to 300 square miles, was] successfully isat fall at Enlwetok proving grounds In the Pacific. But knowing how to produce the clty-H-bomb does not autoriiatically insure that the United States ’will produce them in quantity. Since fissionable materials (Uranium 235) or plutonium (in Hbombs) can be had only at the sacrifice of large numbers of atomic bombs. ; ■* 1 Another subject of inevitable interest at today’s atomic briefing was progress in the ,building of an atomic-powered submarine, the Nautilus. The navy hopes to add the sub to the fleet before many months; It is expected to have a tremendous undersea cruising range. — i
