PONTIAC. Mich, April 2 (U. P)). —Decminick Piccone, 20, ex-convict suspected of killing three men in the past two days and kidnaping a fourth, surrendered to state police
today when they forced his commandeered automobile off the highway near Otisville. Piccone had been hunted by near-|
Iv 300 state and local authorities
since the slaying Tuesday of Cassius Barber, 71, and his cousin, Romaine C. Potter, near Oxford, Mich. The body of a third man, Carl Mackenzie, 40, was found near Concord
late yesterday, and Sheriff Spencer;
C. Howarth said all three men had]
been shot with the same .22-caliber! 3
gun. Piccone, paroled on was arrested in November, 1938, on a felonious assault charge for which he served three and a half} vears in Marquette state prison.

Tars Stay on Job Despite * |] Fire in Pompom Magazine
By ROBERT J. CASEY
1942. by The Indianapolis Times Copyiighi, 13 Chicago Daily News, Inc.
WITH THE PACIFIC FLEET AT SEA, March 4 (Delayed). —The attack—which attack, for the moment, will not be revealed—began with a fire in the pom-pom powder magazine. It was a simple, if dramatic, opening: “Enemy ship firing dead ahead, sir!” “Fire in the pompom cutting room, sir!” And, while you missed the captain’'s orders to the main tery, you heard the rest of it. Robert J. Casey e said simply, “put it out.” After which he got on with the rest of his complicated business. “Ave-aye, sir,” said somebody, and then the battle went on in normal tempo just as if disintegration, terrible and complete, were not riding

in the magazine too much and there seemed to be no way to get word to them. The dive-bombers had gone away and the pom-pom crews had nothing much to do except watch the curls of black, oily smoke that crawled up the ammunition chutes. Some lad, awed at the whole proceedings and possibly a little concerned about the future, said in a voice loud enough to be heard over the barrage: “Maybe they're all dead in there. Why don’t they ansyer?” The marine sergeant gave him one split-second sneer. “Dead,” he said. “Dead! Holy Ike, in a minute I'll be wishing ‘they were. Look at us. Up to our necks...” So we looked and they were. There was something in the scene reminiscent of the sorcerer’s apprentice in Fantasia who brought brooms to life, sent them to carry water and then couldn't stop them. Down in the magazine the sorcerers’ apprentices were fusing pom-pom shell and loading it on conveyors. Shells were rolling up onto the

Listeners Amazed
About that time, some of his more | adult listeners began to look at him | more in admiration than amazement | more in admiration than amaze-| ment though the two were still mixed. Here was a sailor (different from the half dozen sailors who had just come from the casserole with him only in that he spoke for the crowd) who had met a situation such as a fire in the dynamite store- | room by doing his own work. He had been confident all the time that everybody else connected! with this battle—including theoretical lads supposed to have orders to put out fires in powder magazines— would presently be along and also do their assigned job. It was not | that they didn’t appreciate their situation fully. Some of them had come out of the Pearl Harbor mess and knew what happens to explosives when you set them off—no matter how you set them off. But up above them, they believed the pom-poms would be needing ammunition and it would be letting those guys down to run away and leave the bullets. It was more or less a minor incident. It got small place, if any, in the official report of the operation but it was pretty significant to anybody who a couple of months ago was wondering how the navy would WASSON'S behave if it ever got a job to do.

Not to be too long getting to conclusions, such incidents as this tend to show that the navy was, after all, | pretty much what advertisements had claimed for it, a force with plenty of esprit, plenty of confidence, and what is more important, plenty of talent. The United Stated Navy in a few] weeks has become a navy of vet-| erans, to a greater degree—and this is an odd thought—than the Japanese who, despite convoy battles about Java, have risked a few units of their fleet and kept the remainder bottled up in home waters.
