Reuther was seated beside his wife, Sophie, but she was uninjured by the twin blasts. Their three children were asleep up-

The pellets tore into Reuther’s face and shoulder, shattering several bones .including his collar bone. Police said he may lose the sight of his right eye. They said two pellets lodged in ills head and several others hit liin in the shoulder. After the shooting, the wouldbe assassin tossed the shotgun in a clump of bushes near the porch of the two-story Reuther lome and fled in an automobile.

(UP) Avowed Communist Ians Fre:stadt said today h> .vould continue his studies at the Jniversity of North Carolina •ven if his appointment as a raduate instructor is not renew-
ed.
Tlie 23-year-old Austrian-born student denounced university oficials’ decision not to renew his nstiuctorship as “not in line Ivith academic freedom." University trustees met yesterluy and announced that they would not rehire Freistadt when his graduate assistant's appoint ment expires June 1. Freistadt, who served in th« United States army during iVorld War II, said he has fiv* months left under the GI bill of rights and will stay in school. The young student, who says he is a nember of the Communist patty, became the center of a congressional storm when it was learned that he recently receiv-' _‘d a $1,600 fellowship from the atomic energy commission to start July I. Freistadt said he would seek legal aid if the fellowship is withdrawn. He said the AEC agreement was in the form of a contract and he was not questioned on his political views when the contract was signed.' Former Gangster Fights For Life FAIRFIEIiD. 111., May 25 — (UP) Earl Shelton, an oldtime gangster, fought for life today ifter being shot from ambush in he same way gunmen killed two other brothers of the notorious southern Illinois family that once fought a rival mob with tanks, planes and "infantry.” An unknown assassin fired three shots at Shelton through the back window of the Farmer’s Club, a resort Shelton operated m Fairfield's town square. Two ■hots missed. The third ripped into Shelton’s back. The gunman escaped, scramblng down unseen from the garage ocf from which he fired the ;hots into the window. Police •aid they had no clues to his dentity. , Shelton was. rushed to Deaconess Hospital In Evansville, Ir.d , ifter Dr. Donald B. Frankel gave him emergency treatment at th; club. Hospital attendants said he was in ’’satisfactory'’ condition. They refused to say whether he was conscious or had made any itatements. FYankel said, how•ver, that he expected Shelton to , ecover. "If the angle of the bullet had /aried to the slightest degree, It would have killed him instantly,” Frankel said. City policeman Clarence Colclasure said early investigations failed to'turn up any motive for the shooting. He- said he did not know whether it was connected with the murder of Shelton’s brothers, Carl and Bernard. The three brothers fought an almost incredible gang war which rocked southern Illinois for years. Their fights with the Birger gang cost 40 lives during the roaring twenties. Carl died in a 15-shot machine gun blast from a black sedan which ambushed him on a farm road in 1947. Bernard was slsin late last July by a hidden sniper at Peoria, 111. Neither murder has been solved. Cokdasurc said Earl operated the club, which was popular with farmers who wanted to play cards. He said the club • also reputedly operated a dice game ind roulette wheel. The window through which the gunman fired is visible only from the rear oi the building.
