"A return to the days of the

their own children, it has to be

Mrs. Bell said she wanted to

Brooklyn Youth Tours Red Zone 01 Austria As Charges Fly
VIENNA, Austria, Sept. 9 (UP) A Brooklyn youth who "disappeared" into the Russian
zone Monday pedaled leisurely into Vienna today on a bicycle
flying the American flag. The arrival of Sidney Schwartz, age 22, after a pleasant trip through the Soviet zone from Linz to Vienna set at rest an international incident threatening to boil over with ugly charges. It also brought into the open what well may be the blithest passage through the iron curtain since Winston Churchill proclaimed that the Russians had draped it across Europe from the Baltic to the Adriatic. Young Schwartz pumped a con
tented tourist's journey for 95 miles through the Soviet zone lying westward of Vienna without even knowing it was anything to get excited about., Schwartz crossed the zonal border at the bridge over the Danube between Linz and Urf ahr. Army authorities announced that a witness said he saw the youth being overpowered by a .Russian sentry on the bridge and taken

FAIRFIELD, 111., Sept. 9
(UP) Two gunmen today rid
dled Little Earl Shelton, ,age 34, with bullets in an ambush shoot
ing like those which felled his
three gangster uncles in the past two years.
His kinsmen demanded that
authorities start nunting a former Shelton gang henchman, a hanger-on from the days when
the Shelton gang s mobile warfare rivals terrorized mauy lawabiding Southern Illinois communities.
The gunmen .put a half-dozen
or more bullets into Little Earl as he drove up before his home near the business district early today. He fired back. He said his assailants used sub-machine guns, but police were not sure.
Fourth Target They said, however, that mark
ings on 45-caliber cases found in
the street near the victim's car
were similar to those found on a rooftop from which Little Earl's
uncle and godfather, Big Earl Shelton, was ambushed kst May 24 as he sat at a poker game in the Farmer's Club here.
Little Earl was the fourth and
Big Earl the third of the Sheltons to be used as targets by mysterious gunmen since Oct. 23,
1947.. On that date, Big Earl Shelton was killedfr.om ambush as he drove along a "country road. Bernie, a brother of Big Carl and Big Earl, was shot and
killed July 26, 1948, in front of
a Peoria roadhouse. Authorities believed that the slayings of Big Carl and Bernie stemmed from their gambling activities, the last vestiges of the holdings which they wielded 20 years and more ago when they fought the rival Charley B.'rger gang for revenue. Big Earl, now re:overed, rode with his nephew and namesake in an ambulance to Evansville, Ind., where doctors said the latest wounded Shelton wculd live. Big Earl and a policeman stood guard ovjr his room. " Blames Harris When police found Little Earl in his home after the shooting, he told them that the car which drove away after the shooting was a "big red convertible" like the one owned by Charley Hyrris, ex-convict and former Shelton hanger-on who broke with the Sheltons two years ago ever the ownership of some cattle. He also said the license number on the car was Harris'. Sheriff Hal Bradshaw said that as Big Earl departed for Evansville, he said he was going to return late today and obtain a warrant "of some kind" against Harris. Until than, Bradshaw said he planned to do rothin? about getting Harris,, who lives on a farm near Fairfield. Police Chief Oti3 Hallan si'id
that he believed Little Earl c'led
the license nutaber of the car from memoryt .beouuse he kr.pw
Harris' number.
"We're sorry it happened,"
said Hallan. "But we re not going to do too much about it."

1 By Lyle C. Wilson United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 9. (UP) Sir Stafford Cripps, British Chancellor of the Exchequer, warned today that thi military and political unity of the Western democracies hangs upon the. outcome of the three-power monetary talks now in progress here. "We cannot separate the political, defense and economic aspects of what is a single problem . . ." Cripps told a luncheon meeting of the National Press Club. In his first full-dress public statement since he arrived here Wednesday for the Anglo-American-Canadian monetary conference, Britain's "austerity minister" linked the British, dollar crisis directly to the cold war with Communism. He made it plain that Britain believes the United States must come to her rescue in the present crisis to make good on the cold war victories that have been won by the Marshall plan.
"To secure the future happiness and prosperity of the world and of humanity . . .we must have a strong democracy and we must be able to resist totalitarianism,"
Cripps said. "To have a strong democracy we must have a political understanding between the free democratic nations. To have a political understanding we must have a sound strategy for the defense, we must have a firm and stable economic basis in all the countries concerned." Cripps said the Western powers already have made "remarkable progress towards creating the necessaary political and defense structure."
Drill For Oil In Turman Twp. Another oil well has been started in the county. This one is on the Eno farm in Turman Township, Section 17, Township 8 North, Range 10 West. Elmer Caudell holds the lease on the property and it is planned to drill to the Salem- line. The surface pipe for the well has already been set. J. E. Thompson has reached a depth Of 900 feet in his drilling on the Hayes farm, also in Turman Township. He is using a cable tool rig and hopes to strike oil at the Salem line, a depth of 1650 to 1700 feet.
Floyd Ross Dies At Carlisle Floyd Ross, age 46, of Carlisle, died at his home this morning at 12:50 o'clock following a short illness. He was a farmer. Surviving are the wife, Ruby; two brothers, Merle and Victor Ross, both of Oaktown, and a sister, Mrs. Audrey Warner. The body was taken to the Schulze Funeral Home in Carlisle and will be removed to the residence Saturday morning. Funeral services will be conducted Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the Carlisle Methodist Church with the Rev. A. W. Stoneburner officiating. Burial will be in the IX3.0.F. Cemetery.
FILES COMPLAINT ON ACCOUNT , John Benfield has filed a complaint against Wiley Walters in the Sullivan Circuit Court.
"But all this progress will be in vain," he warned, "if we fail to provide a sound economic basis for these combined efforts of the free democracies." Defends Government. Cripps defended his socialist British government against charges of waste and inefficiency. He asserted that Britain's present
financial troubles stem direcuy from the ravages of war at home
and in her far-flung possessions around the world. . Cripps made r.o mention of unofficial reports that his delegation here and British officials in London are seeking a $600,000,000 Re
construction Finance Corporation
loan wholly outside the Anglo-American-Canadian dollar conference. " -Nor did he disclose the extent,
if any, of the progress made here
in the three-power effort to find a solution to his country's economic crisis. Talks Progressing. He said it still is "too early" in the conference to say anything beyond the fact that the talks are going ahead in the cooperative spirit promised in President Truman's recent Philadelphia speech.
Mr. Truman at that time urged ,
an end to the war of words be
tween unofficial critics on both
sides of the Atlantic, and he
pledged this country to a determined effort to help solve the British crisis. Cripps cautioned his listeners against expecting a "sudden and complete" solution to the economic crisis to result from. the present talks. "It is a hard and difficult task," he said, "and it will, as your President has said, require unremitting efforts to find and maintain the conditions, that will bring
us equilibrium in our trading in this new economic world into
which we have emerged since the end of the war.
"But ... we can and we must combine successfully our efforts
to put our economic relationship
upon a firm basis and so bring
victory to the free democracies in the cold war." Congress Hears Plan.
After Cripps' address, he join
ed the other three-power dele
gates in the State Department
conference room to continue ex
ploring indirect methods of bail
ing Britain out of her predica
ment. Congress heard with rar
est, but without any great enthusiasm, the general outline of the
aid program requested by the
British yesterday.

In talking to reporter., Nourse warned fall walkouts in 'bash industries could "change the story." Strikes already are threatened in steel mills and on some railroad?. They may be in the cards also In the automobile and coal industries, --.v.Nourse said such walkouts ss these "certainly would upset ths pattern of recovery." Sawyer cited a census bureau report showing 59,947,000 jersons at work, a new high for 1949 but still far short of the all-
time peak of $61,615,000, set in
July, 1948.
The report showed that , the number of jobless had dropped by 406,000 from July's postwai
record of 4,095,000. The Augus
unemployment figure 3,689,00(1
