Ducks Resent

Fliers Invasion

SPOKANE, Wash. (U. P.).— Fifteen hundred wild = mallard ducks have caused Felts field fliers more trouble than the Japanese. The flight of ducks, long used to the army flying field as a game preserve, moved in and took possession of the airport, grounding army planes. The invaders were routed when army and game officers armed with sawed-off shotguns blasted the ducks into hasty retreat. But they returned every time the watchers relaxed. Army officials predict they'll have to remain on the alert un-

til the flock goes north to summer grounds.

Boy Killer Guilty; Escapes Chair

criminal court jury today found

17-year-old Clarence McDonald

guilty of murdering his high | school sweetheart as he kissed her in the balcony of a movie theater

and recommended that he be imprisoned for lafe. The jury of eight women and

four men ruled that the handsome blond boy whom the defense had described as “a Penrod gone berserk” was sane when he shot Dorothy Broz, 17, as he pressed a kiss on her lips duringsthe movie “Sealed Lips” last Feb. 24. Six psychiatrists, three for the defense and three for the prosecution, disagreed during the 10day trial on the boy’s mental state. When the jury delivered its verdict, McDonald snapped to atten-

This forced the German transport authorities to attach two water tenders to troop and other trains. In many cases, Nazi trains were compelled to halt midway on frozen rivers and the crews had to get out, hreak the ice and refill the tenders.

CANNONBALL BARES WORK ON GAS SAVER

DETROIT, May 22 (U. P).— They still were talking in the federal building corridors today about a chance remark of E. G. (Cannonball) Baker, veteran automobile test driver, as a technicial witness in a patent infringement suit. The remark had nothing #0 do with the case at hand—concerning a dispute between the Universal Products Co., Inc, and Montgomery Ward & Co., on the matter of universal joints. Mr. Baker, holder of automobile speed records from New York to Los Angeles, began reminiscing and it led to a discussion of his present activities at his Indianapolis home. “Right now,” he remarked casually before a gasoline-ration conscious audience, “I'm perfecting a supercharger that will give a car 50 miles on a gallon of gasoline.” The patent suit was forgotten for a ‘moment while Judge Arthur F. Lederle brought out from Mr. Baker that he thinks the invention is
