Stalking his mother down the driveway, knife in hand, as she retreated pleading, Cushing knocked her to the street and plunged the knife into her 15 times. He was still jabbing the knife at her when police arrived. The former Burma road truck driver had been treated by psychiatrists at veterans’ hospital here.

Awards for other ratings ranged from $2 to as high as $25 monthly. Mr. Fly, former chairman of the federal communications commission, said that the raises he awarded brings the N.

His award applied only to the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, and decisions were still to be made next Monday on the cases of the American Communications association and Marine Cooks and Stewards of the Pacific, both C.
