Loel Convicted Of Sex Slaying By Oklahoma Jury OKLAHOMA CITY ltl A dii trict court jury Friday night con victed Otto A. Loel, one time Ore Hon police chief described by py rhiatrisls as an "odd ball," of the aex slaying of a 31-year-old Cali fornia housewife in a motel here. The jurors fixed his sentence at death in the electric chair. Psychiatrists at a itate menial hospital described the 44-year-old defendant as an "odd-ball" and a "tiuecr duck" with a fiction-like background. He once deserted from the Navy, said he once was a dope-runner on the China coast and once was police chief of Sandy, Ore. Loci sat stoically in the tense courtroom as a District Court jury returned the death verdict In the brutal knifing of Mrs. Elizabeth Jeanne Henderson. There was a twisted half-smile on his face and he stared at the floor as the verdict was read. "I told my story, and it was true," he said to his attorney when lie was led from the room. His story was a startling, sensa tional tale of being sexually at tacked by the woman travelling companion in a motel Jan. 10, 1954. He said Mrs. Henderson tried to force an unnatural sex ual act on him, and fought him when he remitted her. The surorise testimony contra dieted an earlier statement by Loel, who had told FBI officers he killed the woman during a drunken brawl. He told of having been married to five women, including a Chinese girl he bought.

The change would lop off a portion of the Glide district containing valu able private public utility devel opments by California Oregon Power Co.

Singles may even simulate the pain of appendicitis if one of the nerves in the right lower abdomen become involved and often it is difficult for an individual to dis tinguish between the two types of pain. The pain localizes at the junc tions of the nerves of sensation with the spinal cord and brain and is usually manifested by mild fev er and malaise of from three to five days duration before the erup tion of the blisters. The fever and blisters usually disappear in a few clays, but neuralgia like pain may persist in the affected areas for some tune. Shingles frequently appear on the hps after a severe cold, or during an attack of pneumonia This condition may last for several weeks and is usually extremely painful. The disease usually runs its course in about ten to twenty days or more. When more than one nerve is involved the disease may b of longer duration. (Pd. Adv.) District Change Debate tion.

And, he added that the board could be the first in the state "to open the door" to equal educational oppoi tunily. He said the legislature left the way open to do it. It was m that legality that Glide hung its case, but not until attorney Neuner had emphatical ly slated he was not representing Copco. He said he was aware some "opposition" had been ex pressed against equalization. Neuner aimed a spicy barb at Sutherlin.

Stevenson Gives Backing To 90 Per Cent Supports (Continued from Page One) Brownell said there was no talk of politics, and elsewhere on the Republican political scene there was relative quiet. One exception: In New York, California's Gov. Goodwin Knight said he would he a "favorite son" candidate for the 1956 GOP nomi nation if Eisenhower does not seek reelection. An aide said after Knight's news conference statement, however, that this does not mean the gover nor is seeking the presidential nomination. He said it is in line with Knight's previous declaration criticized by backers of Vice President ISixon that he intends to secure an uncommitted Califor nia delegation to next year's Re publican National Convention. Stevenson's support of the 90 per cent of parity program, telegraph ed to the Midwest Democratic farm conference meeting at Des Moines, Iowa, prompted some of the party leaders to say Steven son forces had gained the initiative at the conference. Others were said to be supporting Harriman for president and Kefauver for vice president. The farm question is shaping up as a major issue in the 1956 cam paign. Democrats have been plug ging for rigid, high level supports to bolster sagging farm prices, while the Eisenhower administra tion has abandoned this in favor of a sliding, flexible scale of fed eral price props. Parity is the price said to be fair to farmers in relation to their costs. While Stevenson also called for other farm aids such as produc tion payments for perishable com modities, his statement for high supports for the storable crops sounded stronger than his declara tion at Green Bay. Wis., a fort night ago. The 1952 Democratic presidential nominee said then among other things that: "I think there is a danger we will advocate only the things that we have advocated before, like price supports at 90 per cent of parity." Kefauver, in his first appear ance at a Democratic rally since returning from a round-the-world tour, said at Erie. Pa., that Ezra T. Benson has been a failure as a secretary of agriculture." The senator offered a solution of his own to what he said were the price declines and mounting sur pluses during Benson's tenure: Higher price supports for the out put from smaller farms, with the subsidy rate to go down as a farm s output goes up.
