Newspaper Page TextPAGE EIGHT Torture Murder Case Similar To Other Crimes Los Angeles, June 17 U'i The . torture murder of Mrs. Louise Springer left police baffled today . by nine mutilation slayings of at tractive women beginning with the "Black Dahlia" case 29 months ago.. None of the cases was ever solved. . Mrs. Springer, a 28 year-old saleswoman, was found strangled in the back seat of her sleek new convertible yesterday. The car was parked only a short distance from the spot where the bodv of Elizabeth Short, who became known' as the "Black Dahlia," was found cut in to two sections in January, 1947. Mrs. Springer's 97-pound body had been twisted so that it lay face down. Her dress was pulled " above her hips. A clothesline was knotted around her neck. Her body had been violated. Mrs. Springer's husband, Lau rence, a short, mustached hair stylist, sobbed when he learned of her death. . He had reported her missing Monday night, when he returned to a parking lot from an errand and found his wife and the car gone. Other Deaths Recalled Police believe the slaying was committed within an hour after that. The cycle of weird killings be gan when a housewife found the nude, bisected boy of Elizabeth Short in a vacant lot. Evidence showed that the 22-year-old New England beauty, whose raven hair and sheer black clothes won her tiie "Dahlia" nickname, had been tortured. - Three days after the "Dahlia" murder, the body of Mary Tate, 37, was found on a street, stran gled with a silk stocking. . Less than a month later, Mrs. Jeanne French was found nude and tortured to death in a lot near the beach. The following month, " the mutilated body of Evelyn Win ters, former wife of a movie ex ecutive, was found in the "gas house district" near the Los An geles river. Husband Acquitted The nude body of Latin beauty Rosenda Mondrago, 20, was dis covered early on the morning of July 3, 1947, almost within the shadow of city hall. Her breasts were clawed, her face beaten, and she had been strangled with a silk stocking. A religious medal she wore to ward off evil still hung from her neck. In the case of Mrs. Dorothy Montgomery, 36-year-old church worker, her husband was arrest ed, tried and acquitted. Police still are searching for the slayer who left her nude, mutilated body beneath a pepper tree. Mrs. Laura Trelstad, 37, met death when she went dancing with a young sailor on Mother's day. She was raped, beaten and strangled. On Valentine's day last year, real estate agent Gladys Kern disappeared. Two days iater her body was lound on the kitchen floor of a secluded hillside home, stabbed with a hunting knife. A mysterious note found nearby blamed the killing on a "rack eteer." Suits Threaten Aluminum Plants Portland, June 17 (111 A gov ernment attorney yesterday fore cast serious curtailment of the na tion's production of aluminum if injunctions against five north west aluminum plants were granted. Hugh F. O'Donneil made the statement in federal district court here while pleading a government petition to allow It to take part in the $1,500,000 case of 17H farm ers against the Reynold's Metals Co., for alleged destruction of crops from plant fumes near Troutdale, Ore., and Longvlew, Wash. O'Donneil said nn injunction also was being sought against the Aluminum Co. of America in Ta coma and that another suit was "contemplated" ngains the Kaiser Fraser plant at Spokane. James P. Cronln Jr., an attor ney for one of the farmer plain tiffs, argued that the government petition was merely asking pro tection of domestic production of pots and pans and in no way "speaks of national defense."

In scientific terms, the experi ment is designed to determine the effect of neutrons on the growth and development of var ious plants and plant organs. It also is designed to determine the effectiveness of neutrons in in ducing genetlcal changes in nlants. But according to the Argonne National laboratory, this is the gist of the experiment In simpler terms: Dr. Willem Eduard de Mol of Amsterdam, who has been experi menting with the effect of X- rays on tulips for 25 years, ship ped 500 tulip bulbs to the labora tory here for use in the experi ment. Put Inside Pile The bulbs were placed inside an atomic pile similar to the one I used in the historic experiment at the University of Chicago which led to development of the atomic bomb. The Argonne laboratory did not say so, but the bulbs may have been placed in the same pile In which the lirst sustained nu clear chain reaction occured. At any rate, the bulbs were left inside the "atom furnace" for 16 minutes under bombardment by billions of "slow'' neutrons travel ing at about 6,000 feet per sec ond. Neutrons are particles of the atom which have no electrical charge. After the irradiation in the pile, the bulbs were planted in Hol land, Mich., in time for the Dutch settlement's annual tulip festival. Changes Can Be Detected There they are being studied by Dr. Teunis Vergeer, head of Hope College's department of biology. According to Argonne labora tory, the ancestry of the tulip bulbs has been known since the 17th century, and the appearance of any mutations, of genetic changes, will be readily notice able. Such mutations would be sud den variations in which the off spring differs from its parents in some well-marked character istic. Preliminary data from the ex periment indicate that the floral parts of the plant, including the petals, are much more suscep tible to injury to slow neutor'ns APPOINTMENTS MADE Salem, J,une 17 (1H Gov.

Several hundred drivers took part in the latest demonstration, a three-day "parkdown" at Irwin, Pa near the western end of the Pennsylvania Turnpike. When the demonstration started the drivers said the trucks would emain parked until state police got rid of a nearby "weighing-ln" station. But the strategy failed and the "parkdown ended when the drivers moved all the trucks in on the station at the same time in hopes that the weight re strictions would be relaxed. The state police sent in reserves to handle the rush business and more drivers were arrested and fined for overloads. . State Laws Differ What makes the trucking in dustry bitter about the Pennsyl vania weight law is that surround ing states have considerably high er limits. Ohio, for example, has a 78,000-pound maximum for trac tor-trailer loads, whereas Penn sylvania's is 45,000 pounds. . Truckers argue that they can't do good business when they must trim thousands of pounds from their cargo every time they hit the Pennsylvania line. The Pennsylvania-Ohio border in the Erie-Conneaut district has been the scene of several "park- downs in protest against the weight discrepancy between the states. The Pennsylvania highways de partment rejoiced when the gen eral assembly, after considerable prodding by the railroads, defeat ed a measure to raise cargo and axle-weight limits. The highways department said the roads take a beating as it is. One truck recently discovered after carrying 80,000 pounds of steel across the state, the depart ment said, probably caused about $15,000 damage to Pennsylvania highways. Boycott Fails Truckers have tried several kinds of stunts in their effort to beat the weight laws, but nothing has worked yet. A shipper who claimed to rep resent about 35 independent truckers recently announced plans to have the high-speed Pennsyl vania Turnpike boycotted by the drivers. That was called off a few days later, apparently be cause of a lack of support. In stead of the boycott, the group decided to wage a leaflet cam paign asking truckers to avoid using the turnpike because it is the delightful debut , of Faberge perfumes . . . for which you have been to patiently waiting.

John Lemku, xJupree, reported he found one of his hogs alive in a snowdrift. She was able to walk a quarter of a mile to feed. "I figured she had been trapped 80 days," Lemke said, "and I actu ally believe she would have been all right for 30 more, although it was impossible for her to get any thing to eat in the meantime." "too expensive." The next "parkdown," If it comes, apparently will get firmer handling by the state. Cov. James H. Duff, outwardly annoyed over the demonstration at Irwin, warned that henceforth any truckers "conspiring to im pede traffic" would have their vehicles "bull-dozed" off the high way. PUZZLED?
