NAB EX-CONVICT WHO FIRED AT ARRESTING COP Mexican Alleged to Have Scorched Officer’s Neck With Bullet. A Mexican ex-convict, under suspended sentence from municipal court, was captured by polipe early today after, it is charged, he tried to kill a policeman who stopped him and his Negro companion for questioning as suspicious characters. At Maryland and Missouri streets about 6 this morning patrolman John O’Brien halted Thomas Alameda, alias Alameidv 25, and William Humphrey, 25, Negro, of Louisville. As O'Brien “frisked” Humphrey for weapons, he said he heard Alameda snarl: “Stick ’em up, you •, !’’ The policeman whirled toward the Mexican, in whose hand a gun glittered. O’Brien tried to pull Humphrey between himself and the gun, and slipped on the wet pavement, thereby doubtless saving his life. Alameda’s gun flashed and a bullet scorched O’Brien’s neck, O'Brien claimed. The pair fled west. Unwilling to risk hitting workmen on the street, O’Brien fired three times, but kept his aim safely away from bystanders. An emergency squad and five radio squads formed a net around that district and search for the fugitives began. An hour later radio patrolmen George Anderson and Charles Viles cornered and captured Alameda and Humphrey in an alley east of Blake street, near New York street. Alameda is charged with shooting with intent to kill, resisting arrest, and vagrancy, and Humphrey with the two latter charges. Aug. 13, Alameda, then giving the name of Alemeid, was taken before Judge William H. Sheafler as an automobile battery thief. He admitted he was an ex-convict, having served a prison term for burglary, but Judge Sheaffer suspended a $1 and costs fine and sentence of ninety days on the state penal farm. Today, Alameda said he remembered this suspended sentence, and knew it would go hard with him if O’Brien found the gun in his possession. He said he thought he could force the policeman to allow him to make his escape. After the snooting, he threw the gun away, he told police.

Some of the steps to be taken in preparing the basement for winter.

This is the second of a series of weekly articles on the preparation of the home for winter. By XEA Service WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.—The basement, ordinarily cool in summer, will be exceptionally cold in winter and allow winter’s blasts to enter the house and creep through it, unless it is properly prepared for the siege. All basements are more or less damp, and it is this moisture, cooling to a point near freezing in winter, that creeps into the basement through the walls and floor and makes it difficult to maintain the proper heat in a home. The first step in remedying this condition, according to government bureaus here, is to make a detailed examination of basement walls and floor. Most cracks in the walls are noticeable, but in little, out-of-the-way corners may be tiny crevices, which allow the moisture to seep in. For this reason it is necessary to take along a flash light or an electric light bulb on an extension to examine the walls thoroughly. Cracks Cause Dampness If the cellar walls are whitewashed, these cracks will make their presence known by a discoloration on the walls caused by the dampness coming through them. If unfinished, however, it may be necessary to rub the hand over the walla to locate the damp parts. Repairing these cracks can be done in either of two ways. The first and easiest, although not quite as effective as the second. is to do the repairing from inside the basement. This is done by spreading over the fissure and around it for a space of six or more inches a one-half inch coating of cement mortar. This is mixed in the proportion of one sack of cement to two cubic feet of sand, plus a little hydrated lime. Or a prepared plastic material might be used. To insure the preparations sticking, the wall should be thoroughly scraped and cleaned. If the wall is extremely damp, the best coating to apply is a bituminous coating, such as coal-tar or asphalt. Outside Job Is Best The second method is to repair the wall from the outside. This consists of digging down to the crack from the outside and applying the material there. The pressure of the moisture and earth on the outside tends to force the preparation against the wall. When applied to the inside, it tends to force it away from the wall. After the walls are fixed, it is well to inspect the window frames of the basement. Here is where a lot of cold air comes in. If the frames fit on the walls closely, or if the cement which holds them in place is cracked, they will permit a lot of cold air to enter. With a thin knife, pry under and around the sides of each frame. If the knife goes through, mix up a bit of mortar and plug the hole. And be sure to replace any broken glass panes. Pipe Holes Let in Cold Holes cut in the walls to allow the entry of gas and water pipes and electric wires are other possible entries of cold. These

should be inspected and, if found to be too large, should be filled with paper or rags, although for a permanent job cement should be used. The basement floor, if improperly drained, brings a lot of cold moisture up from unuderneath the house. A clogged drain is easily recognizable. It's best to locate obstructions in the drain now and repair them before winter sets in, A spot on the floor that is damp all the time is an indication of a clogged drain. Dig up the spot, replace or clean out the clogged tile, and then cover the hole with mortar. After all these points have been taken care of in the basement, it. is practically waterproof, and* should aid in considerable saving on the coal bill this winter.

URGES U. S. CONTROL OF TRUCK LICENSING State Police Chief Sees Federal Hand as Only Solution. Federal control of interstate trucking as a means to avoid impounding of motor vehicles because of varying state laws regarding licenses, was advocated today by Grover Garrott, state police chief. Until federal legislation is enacted to set up uniform regulation regarding truck licensing, states will continue to have difficulties over reciprocity, such as the one now involving Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee, Garrott said. Although Kentucky and Indiana today had agreed upon a truce 1 pending a conference between officials of the two states at Martinsville, sometime between Sept. 19 and 22, Indiana state police were ordered to impound all Tennessee trucks failing to carry license plates of this state.

BLAMES SOVIET FOR DESTROYING CHURCHJDEALS Bishop Sees Attempt to Exterminate All Forms of Religion. By United Press DENVER, Sept. 16.—A ringing attack against the Soviet government’s attitude toward religion and a plea for strengthening of Christion ideals was made here today by the Rev. Michael Bolton Furse, bishop of St. Albans, England. Speaking at the opening service of the fiftieth general convention of the Episcopal church in the United States, Bishop Furse said the Soviet government was making a “determined attempt to exterminate all forms of religion, especially the Christian faith.” “The four objectives on which that attack has been launched are significant,” Bishop Furse said. “First and foremost, the home and the Christian idea of marriage; secondly, the teaching of the Christian faith to young and old; thirdly, the public worship of Almighty God; fourthly, those who are set to teach that faith and minister in that worship.” The bishop, who had crossed the Atlantic and a major part of the North American continent to address the 10,000 delegates to s he convention, then discussed the four objectives, confining his remarks largely to the “rest of Europe and America.” In discussing the home and the Christian idea of marriage, he deplored the “prevalent and increasing use of contraceptives by married folk.” He said he was convinced use of contraceptives in the long rim would degrade the holy estate of matrimony, physically, intellectually, morally and spiritually. * Two Women Killed By United Press VEEDERSBURG, Ind., Sept. 16.
