Routed by tank
Fire of machine gun
killer of four
ONE LESSON WE COULD LEARN FROM THE REPS

VNTONTOWN. Pa. (AP) — A
* sharpshooting mountaineer who
picked out moving targets like
ducks in a shooting gallery shot
, four persons to death and wounded
five others Wednesday. He died
under a hgil of machine gun bul-
lets.
; State Police, protected by an
■* Axmy tank, cut down Daniel Ray-
; tpond, 42, as he fled his burning
'home at Chalkhill. The home had
. been set afire by incendiary and
tear gas bombs lobbed from the
tank.
' The mountaineer eaw a doctor
•only Feb. 1* because he was ner-
vous, his wife said.
Raymond, a pipeline walker for
. gK.natural gas company, had a
■ reputation among the mountain
folk in this southwestern Pennsyl-
vania area for being a crack shot.
He did his lethal shooting from the
second story of his home, located
about 50 feet from a rural road.
Before police shut off the road
la traffic Raymond fired for nine
hours at almost everything that
moved—cars and trucks. Only once
did he fail to fire at a moving
vehicle. This was a school bus car-
rying about 90 youngsters.
Veteran state troopers hugged
fee tank as it opened fire. They,
loo, peppered the house with vol-
ley after volley. Finally, the ber-
serk Raymond tried to make a
run for it. He ran a few feet,
then dropped as the machine gun
bullets cut through his body.
Those killed by Raymond were:
Mary Frances Sisslsr, Cl, and
tdna Maes. H, both of Ohiopulc,
9>g.; William Burd, 4#-yssr-old
highways department worker from
Farmington, Pa.; and May Maiist
of Farmington, Pa.
Woundsd wre: Harry Cram-
wall. SI, of Ohiopyle; Ltwrace
•wenglish, If, of Haddanville. Pa.;
- Oarlus Maust, 32, husband of Mrs.
Maust, and two Maust children,
Mary. 3, and Eddie, IS months.
Raymond was armed with two
rifles, one with a telescopic sight.
Police said they probably never
• will know just what triggered the
tragedy although Raymond had
■ been "acting nervous." His wife
!said he set fire to their living
room about 12 hours before the
shooting began. She said he doused
the fire but she was frightened and
took her three children to stay
overnight with neighbors.
This was the chain of events
as pieced together by police:
Burd and his helper, Robert
Richey, drove their cindering
truck past the Raymond home
about 8 a.m. Raymond shouted at
’-them from a second-story window,
asking them to cinder his drive-
way. Glad to oblige, Richey
Jumped to the ground to spread
the cinders.
Suddenly. Raymond appeared
-at the window again. He opened
fire, hitting Burd twice. Richey
dove for cover. Burd managed to
start the truck but it crashed into
g tree 100 yards away.
» Two motorists, George Smalley,
*mAu
SO, and Joseph Pickens, went to
Bund's aid. They were not hit hy
Raymond. Burd died en route to
a hospital.
•wanpHah was hit next as a
shot pierced his windshield. A
fire truck with volunteers braved
rifle lira to rescue him. He i
In a Pittsburgh hospital where his
left eye was removed Wednesday
night.
Then along came a car driven
by Harry Cromwell, 31, of Ohio-
pyle. He was shot and his ear
ground to a halt. He stayed In fee
car for what he said seemed an
“eternity.” He was in fair eendi-
tian at a hospital.
Mrs. Maas and Mm. Ussier
wars next. Their ear apparently
went aff the md when It was hit
by rifle fire. They were shot as
they tried to run. Their bodies
lay on the read until Raymond
was shot to death.
Now came the car aocupied by
Mr. and Mrs. Maust and their
two children. A shot rang out
Mrs. Maust eollapsed against her
husband. She was daad. Then
Maust and Ms ehldrsn wart
wounded. The ear ground to a
halt.
Maust eowsred en the floor for
hours with his children. Hours
later polio# found* the ear. Maust
and his kiddiss were in fair con-
dition.
“I knew something like this was BAVI - c A ve
going to happen,” Mrs. Raymond HAL BOYLE SAYS*
told police after the footings be-
gan. She aaid that before aha fled
her husband had bathed several
times, and drank several pots of
tea. When she asked Mm why he
had bathed so often, she paid he
replied: “After I get rid of you I
want to be clean when they pick
me up."

HOLLYWOOD (AP) — Univer-

The studio signed s five • year

The new contract provides tor

tribes sent letters to the Presi
dent, the secretary of the interior,
the FOC chairman, Oklahoma
congressmen and others decrying
the way Indians are portrayed by
the film makers. They drew
hearty support from Michael An-
sars
Mike is op more Indian than
Danny Thomas. Like Danny, his
forebears came from the tiny
country rt Lebanon (by sheer
coincidence, Mike was reared in
Lebanon, N.H.)
He wa« a dramatic actor —
played in the movie “Julius Cae-
sar,” enacted Judas in “The
Robe.” But his broad face and
big build made him idea] tor In-
dian roles. He sraa chosen out rt
100 to portray the famous chief
Cochise in the TV series. "Broken
Arrow.” Now he is starring as the
full-blooded Indian who is U.S.
marshal in another aeries, ‘‘Law
of the Plainsman.”
Says Ansar a: “I agree the In-
dians have been treated badly In
movies and TV, Just as they were
treated badly in history.
"With the advent of the Western
flkn, the Indian became a stereo-
type w the villain. I think R’s
wrong. I even object to the child-
hood game rt oowhoys and In-
dians art automatically the rtL
bans."
Ansara agrees with the Okla-
homa chiefs in their proposal that
the way to counteract the libels
against the Indians is to present
a TV series depicting their way
of life.
"I would like to see a scries that
would deal with the Indians as

WASHINGTON
Good things happen to taxpayers;
biggest one gets back $86 million

By FRANK CORMIER
WASHINGTON (AP) — Good
things happen to taxpayers, some-
times. Take the case of the New
York Central Railroad.
The Internal Revenue Service
concluded some time back that
the railroad had overpaid its 1941-
44 taxes by more than 85V4 mil-
lion dollars. As a result, the New
York Central got refunds, credits
and interest payments totaling
more than 86 million dollars.
This whopping transaction came
to light today in a list of big re-
funds approved in 1958 by the
Senate-House Committee on Inter-
nal Revenue Taxation. The com-
mittee has to approve all refunds
of more than $100,000.
The New York Central item was
the biggest on the list. IRS said
it could not discuss details of the
casa because of legal prohibitions
against disclosing the affairs of
taxpayers.
Many of the listed refunds
stemmed from tax court cases.
IRS collected what it claimed was
due from some taxpayers, then
had to settle for less and refund
the difference.
In other cases, taxpayers were
able to convince the agency that
they had paid more than was due.
While corporations accounted
for most of the 280 big refunds in
the tabulation for the 12 months
which ended June 30, 1958, some
went to individuals.
New York gambler Frank Erick-
son and his wife, for instance, got
credits, refunds and interest pay-
ments totaling $2,230,775. This re-
sulted from settlement of a tax
court case. The settlement was
disclosed at the time.
In addition to Ihe New York
Central, nine corporations got re-
funds, credits, abatements and
interest payments of more than
three milion dollars each.
The companies, and the
amounts, were: Westinghouse
Electric Corp., Pittsburgh. $8,045,-
739; Genera Dynamics Oorp., San
Diego, Calif., $7,799,284; Beech
Aircraft Corp., Wichita, Kan.,
$7,390,205; C.N.I. Liquidating Co.
(formerly Clinton Foods), 8t.
Louis. $5,192,046.
Celanes# Corp., New York City.
$4,815,553; Seatrain Lines. New
York City, $4,590,360; Barter Oil
Corp., New York City, $3,812,845;
Motor Products Corp., Detroit,
$3,431,242, and Standard Oil O.
(New Jersey), New York City,
$3,395,273.
QUESTION: Why is Washington calls* •The father
of His Country ?"
* • •
ANSWER: George Washington was the Commander to Chief
rt the first American Army— the army which won the Revolu-
tionary War to free America from Great Britain. He Wag then
president of the Constitutional Convention —a meeting which
guided the forming of colonies into s single nation. And be
finally was ths first President of the United States.
It le for these reasons that he la known among the people of
the United States, ae well aa those In many other lands, aa the
"Father of HU Country,”
While historians today tend to discredit some stories made
up shout him by wall-meaning writers —who were setting up
Washington as an example for all men to follow —there Is no
argument that he was a truly great leader of men and lived up
to hU description as “First in war, first in peace, and
first In the hearts of his oountrymen.”
Dignified, and possessed of a high senae of justice and honor,
he also was a warm and friendly person. Hs Uksd Joke* and he
was extremely fond of children.
• * •
FOR YOU TO DO: There are many books about George
Washington which you may find in the library. Try to make a
list of all the places named after him, as well as tha things
which bear hla name or portrait, suoh aa stamps and ootns.
