SANFORD. Fla. Ul One of

Sandy.' Ore.4-was arrested in a
makeshift palmetto shack on the
edge of a swamp here Monday.
Otto Austin Loel. 44. who was
sought for the savage multiple
stabbing of j a woman traveling
companion, said "I'm glad it's
over," "as he was taken from his
hideaway hut But he said he
didn't remember the nam of Mrs.

wanted -to know if she could go

to visit her mother in Newark,
Ohio, and he agreed. Mrs. Hender
son's husband made inquiries
about Loel ! and decided he was
reputable since he had worked in
the community for a long time.
The killing took place on Jan.
10. 1954: the half nude and slashed
body was found three days later.
Loel refused to talk about the
slaying, and the FBI said it did
not know the motive.
U.S. Commissioner James S.
Byrd in Orlando ordered him held
on $50,000 bond on r charge of un-
awful flight to avoid prosecution
for murder.
A few drinks of whisky led to
his downfall here.

versary of the stabbing Saniord
police arrested a handyman under
the name of Jack McCoy for being
drunk. He was released but his
finsernrinU were sent to the FBI
at Washington and he was identi
fied as Loel.
He gave, no trouble when officers
arrived at his shack near a junx
yard. He said be had hidden out

School Seeks
To Add Area
Into District 1
' " "'-'! '"
Detroit School District's peti
tion, which seeks to incorporate
more than 30,000 acres In the Lit
tle North Fork area of the San-
tiam River into the district, will
nave an airing at a meeting Feb.
17. i- !
At that time, the Marion Coun
ty school boundary board will
consider the petition. The acre
age in question is mostly timber
and mining land and has an as
sessed valuation of nearly $60,
000. j
The land has never been incor
porated into a school district, but
levy has been assessed against
it for the maintenance of non
high school districU at Mill City
ana uates. !
In fact, said Agnes Booth, coun
ty school superintendent, it is the
only tract of land in the county
that is not incorporated into a
school district i
Detroit is paying more than 169
mills per assessment for the main
tenance of its school district
brought about by assessmenU
against over $2 million worth of
equipment used to construct the
Detroit Dam, and -the influx of
workmen's children.
For the most part these work-
en have now left the area and
the equipment has been removed.
The 169-mill rate is the largest
in ine county.
Owners of the tract of land in
question, several individuals and
timber operators, paid $1,784 in
taxes for non-high school districts
during the last fiscal year.

years ago, embraced his son with

Interviewed by Charles Col-

young Noble told of his imprison
ment in a slave labor camp so
miles from the Arctic Circle. He
said 90 per cent of the prisoners
were Soviet citizens and most of
them were imprisoned for political
reasons.
Noble i said there had been
strikes in the slave labor camps
following the arrest of Soviet Se
cret Police Chief Lavrenti Beria.
Hundreds of prisoners were
shot down, he said, as the strikes
were broken. He said that in a
camp near his, prisoners congre
gated at the gates and refused to
return to work in the mines.
"Eight hundred guards began
to fire," he said, "and shot until
the last one was lying on the
ground." He said 110 were killed
