+ Tiny Fingar Smudges Streaked ~The Lining of the Icebox
By HEZE CLARK OYS still littered the yard of the Phillip Wilkinson home, 1411 Perry St., today. But little Duane, who would have been 4 Sunday, will never play ‘with them again. The hard words of the police report“ say Duane suffocated yesterday at 7:30 p. m. in an
old icebox in a neighbor's back vard. But those words don’t tell about the frantic search for the little boy who never came home for supper.
These do: The terrible shock
oo
when ‘his still- warm body was found in the box: Finger smudges streaked across the porcelain lining of the box‘'as he tried to escape. The final blow when members of the police emergency squad shook their heads after trying for an hour to revive the boy. .
Ran Away to Play
A few hours earlier, Duane and his father had come back home from taking his mother to work at the RCA plant. Duane scrambled out of the
car, ran down the street to play. His father called after him: “Be home for supper soon.’ At 5 po. m, Duane's sisters

Let's Get Some Polish In That Irish Line
By United Press WASHINGTON, May 22—Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney (D. Wyo.) yesterday pointed to the excellence of Jockey Eddie Arcarq and Notre Dame football teams to demonstrate the need for a change in U, S. immigration laws. He told the Senate he was in favor of a measure that would put the peoples of eastern and southern Europe—notably the Italians and the Poles—on the same basis, as far as immigration is concerned with the Irish, the English and the Scandinavians. Sen. O'Mahoney, no Italian himself, read off a long list of sports. figures of Italian ancestry. “How many Irishmen, Englishmen and Scandinavians have placed their bets on a horse because Eddie Arcaro was riding him?” he asked. And lock at Notre Dame, he added. “What would the Irish teams of Notre Dame do without those Poles and Slovenes?” he said.
