Police awaiting
Arney s return
from S. Dakota
By Phil F. Brogan
Bulletin Staff Writ.r
Police today awaited the return
from Watertown, S.D., of Officer
Jack Arney to make a final check
en the "confession" of Donald
Ben Doran, 34, that he killed
Judi Seeder, 17, In Bend on the
Bight of February 2.
Arney is due back in Bend to-
nieht or early tomorrow morning,
and officers are fearful handwrit
ing examples he will bring here
from the South Dakota town will
throw the murder case wide open
again. It has been established that
a man bearing the name Donald
Ben Doran, and answering the de
scription of the man held in the
Deschutes jail on a murder
charge was in Watertown on Feb
ruary 3.
Stayed at Hotel
Watertown's Donald Ben Doran
stayed at the A & M Hotel in that
city on the night of February 3,
and on the following night check
ed in at the Lincoln Hotel. He
was back in the A & M Hotel on
the night of February 5. At 12:40
Evaluation team
due at BSHS
An evaluation of recent innova
tions In the academic program at
Bend Senior High School will be
made this week by a team of 27
persons being sent here by the
Oregon School Study Council.
A report on plans for the eval
uation was made at last night's
meeting of the District No. 1
School Board by Principal Don
ald Empey.
Empey said that the team
wtmld arrive Wednesday after
noon and will spend Thursday and
Friday making the evaluation. Dr.
Keith Goldhammer, executive sec
retary of the Oregon School Study
Council and a member of the Uni
versity of Oregon Bureau of Edu
cational Research, will be in
charge of the study.
The team will be composed of
college and high school faculty
members and several graduate
student in education. It will in
clude one out-of-state member,
William K. Ramstad of Stanford
University. He is a staff associate
of the Commission of Staff Utili
zation of the National Association
of Secondary School Principals.
He visited BSHS as a consultant
last fall.
Phases of the academic pro
gram to be studied by the team
include self-direction, large and
small group instruction, extended
period programming, honors pro
grams, fireside seminars and the
attitudes of pupils, teachers and
parents toward the innovations be
ing tried at BSHS.
A dinner for the visitors will
be held Wednesday evening at the
high school, with local school of
ficials and teachers involved in
the new programs being invited
to attend.
A report of the evaluation will
be published later by the Oteson
School Study CounaL
a.m. on February 7 he was in the
Watertown jail, as a sleeper. On
the nights of February 7 and 8,
he stayed in a room at the Sokoll
Bakery in Watertown.
Arney reported this information
late Monday in a telephone call
to Police Chief Emll Moen of the
Bend Police Department. Earlier
in the day, The Bulletin had ob
tained virtually the same infor
mation from the Watertown Po
lice Department.
Watertown is some 1200 miles
from Bend, in the eastern part of
South Dakota.
No Fingerprint
Arney took Doran's fingerprints
to Watertown, but found none
there for a comparison. Pictures
of Doran taken to South Dakota
were identified as those of the
man known to have been in Wa
tertown as early as February 3.
That was the morning the body
was found in Bend.
Should the handwriting Arney
returns to Bend check with that
of the man held here, Doran will
be released, it was indicated to
day. However, this will not take
place until reports are received
from Arney, and from the crime
laboratory.
District Attorney Louis Sclken
said the possibility of holding Dor
an on a charge of obstructing jus
tice was considered, but inasmuch
as Doran did not volunteer the
information that he killed Judi
Reeder until after he was ques
tioned appears to rule out any
original intent to obstruct jus
tire. Still Claims Killing
Meanwhile Doran still main
tains from his county jail cell
that he killed the girl. Once he re
marked: "Maybe I shouldn't have
done it."
Do-an also on one occasion ask
ed to see the girl's parents, to
"apologize" for "killing" the girl.
Permission to make such an apol
ogy was not granted.
Officers said that Doran ap
pears fully convinced he kilied
judi. Earlier when he was con
fronted with the information that
he apparently was not in the area
on the night of February 2, he
wanted officers to believe that the
murder occurred on another
night
Chance in Million
Doran's "confession" included
some information believed known
only to officers, and up until late
yesterday the investigators were
reluctant not to believe Doran was
in Bend on the murder night.
Now it appears there is only
once chance in a million that he
was here. That chance is that
there is another Donald Ben Dor

tion, who was in Watertown on
February 3.

School budget
work completed
by committee
The District No. 1 school budget
committee last night put finishing
touches on a 1962-63 budget pro
posal which calls for total ex
penditures of $2,008,547 and esti
mated tax levies of $1,301,599.
Following approval of the bud
get, the district board met and set
May 7 as the date for an elect;pn
on the amount of the budget out
side the six per cent limitation.
This figure is $816,077.
In summarizing the budget, Sup
erintendent R. E. Jewell esti
mated that what he termed the
"effective levy" will be approxi
mately $16,000 more than the one
for the current year. This, he
said, would represent an increase
of considerably less than one mill.
Increased Income
The tax picture has been bright
ened for the coming year by a
sizable boost in estimated re
ceipts and available cash bal
ances. The increase is nearly $89,
000. In addition, the district will re
ceive an increase of approximate
ly $36,000 in tax offset funds from
the state basic school support
fund.
Before giving final approval to
the 1962-63 budget, committee
members voted to adopt a new
schedule for extra duty pay. Un
der the schedule, teachers with
extra duties will be paid on a ten
step program of increment raises
instead of the set scale type of
schedule in use here in the past.
Schedule Approved
The new schedule was present
ed by Richard Geser, athletic di
rector, and represents a boost of
$4,900 in extra pay in the coming
year.
The committee also voted to
provide $2200 for possible rental
of several rooms at the new Pres
byterian church for use by the
senior high school next year. The
sum was provided by deleting
from the proposed budget another
$2200 sum which had been includ
ed for partitioning of a room in
the high school building.
A hearing on the proposed bud
get will be held on April 16. Later
this week the complete budget will
be published as a legal advertise
ment in The Bulletin.
Polling places in the May 7 elec
tion will be established at Allen,
Kenwood and the junior high
schools in Bend and Young and
LaPine schools.

Living costs
push to new
high in U.S.
WASHINGTON (UPD Living
costs climbed to a record high in
February, shattering six months
of price stability, the, government
reported today.
A sharp increase in food prices
pushed . up the Labor Depart
ment's consumer price index by
three-tenths of 1 per cent last
month, the biggest increase for
any month since last July.
This pushed the index to a new
peak of 104.8 per cent of aver
age 1957-59 prices. In other words,
it would cost $10.48 today to buy
the same goods and services thai
cost $10 about three years ago.
Robert W. Myers, deputy com
missioner of labor statistics, said
(lie increase was sizable. But he
said it did not indicate the start
of a broad upturn in consumer
prices.
He said the February increase
ended at least temporarily the
period of price stability that be
gan about a year ago. But Myers
said prices were still only nine
tenths of 1 per cent above tile
level of February, 1961.
Food prices weiU up by six
tenths of 1 per cent last month
although they normally decline
tliis time of year.
Crop freezes and storm damage
in Texas, Florida and California
pushed up the price of fresh
fruits and vegetables. Poultry,
beef and veal also cost more.
Vegetables showed the largest
monthly advance in 10 years.
Onions were up 37 per cent.
Higher prices also were report
ed for house furnishing, household
operation, clothing, medical care.
newspapers, sporting goods and
movie admissions.
The department said 77,000
workers would receive one cent
hourly increases in wages on the
basis of the national index. They
work for Lockheed Aircraft Corp.,
Martin-Marietta and North Ameri
can Aviation Co. Their wages are

Quiet in Algiers shattered
as sporadic shots ring out
ALGIERS (UPI) Sporadic i hind.
shooting erupted in downtown Al-
gicrs today at a spot where
French soldiers killed 60 and
wounded 200 persons Monday. The
shooting broke a tense quiet cre
ated by a general strike.
The shots rang out from bal
conies- .overlooking the Plateau
des Glieres and brought riot po
lice in half-tracks and armored
cars with machine guns rumbling
into the area.
More shooting was heard after
the armor appeared but there
were no immediate reports of
casualties.
A general strike gripped the
city and spread to Oran and
Sahara desert oilfields 600 miles
southeast of Algiers in protest
over Monday's shooting of the
unarmed demonstrators.
The shutdown of shops and of
fices here did not come from a
call for a strike by the outlawed
Secret Army Organization, which
is battling to keep Algeria French.
It seemed to stem from the sud
den realization that French sol
diers were ready to shoot and
kill their own countrymen if nec
essary. It appeared no one had
the heart to follow the daily
routine.
The strike in Oran was called
by union officials who asked citi
zens to "assemble in calm and
homage to the innocent victims"
of Monday's shooting in Algiers.
It extended to the Hassi Mes-
saoud oilfield where the employes
of French companies in general
seemed sympathetic to the
'French Algeria" cause.
Two thousand Europeans
crowded into the Rue d'Isly and
nearby streets in Algiers to see
the bloodstains on the paving
stones and bullet-pocketed build
ings. A few shopkeepers who
opened up in the suburbs this
morning quickly shut down again.
But later in the day riot police
sealed off the Plateau des Glieres
and stationed themselves at 15
foot intervals to prevent further
disturbances.

Algiers piled heaps of flowers at
spots where Europeans had died.

Rusk returns
from session
at Geneva
GENEVA (UPI)- Secretary of
State Dean Rusk flew back to
Washington today to report to
President Kennedy shortly after
Russia announced it will stage a
new series of nuclear tests if the
United Slates resumes testing in
the atmosphere next month.
Rusk took off at 6:45 a.m. PST
aboard an Air Force jet transport
following a final speech to the
17-nation General Conference on
Disarmament in which he called
for an immediate crash program
of controls to reduce the risk of
a nuclear war.
But even as he spoke, Soviet
Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko
shattered the diplomatic calm with
new charges of bad faith against
the United States and the an
nouncement that Russia would re
sume nuclear tests.
Rusk and Gromyko said In a
joint communique issued earlier
in the day that their exhaustive
talks on Berlin in the past 18
days had resulted in "some prog
ress" in outlining more sharply
the points of agreement and dis
agreement. They agreed on the
wisdom of another round of Soviet-American
talks on the sub
ject, but set no time, place or
forum.
Borlin Is Peril Polnf
U.S. officials said, however, that
despite minor variations in So
viet proposals, there wag no les
sening of the deadlock and Berlin
remained the world s No. 1 peril
point.
Russia still demanded "solu
tion" of the German problem on
the basis of a proposed peace
treaty with East Germany which
would liquidate the Allied position
in Red-encircled West Berlin. The
Western answer to this demand
was still "no."
Rusk left with the East-West
test ban stalemate tighter than
ever and with both sides prepar
ing to resume experimental ex
plosions. These talks foundered on
Russia s complete unwillingness to
accept any International Inspec
tion to police the ban.
This confirmed Rusk s belief
that the Soviet Union did not real
ly want a ban because it is anx
ious for more tests. It also damp
ened his hopes for general dis
armament However, he still hoped the dis
armament conference here would
make some progress on individual
measures such as prohibiting the
spread of nuclear weapons and
know-how, and on reserving outer
space for peaceful purposes.
Conference to Continue
The arms conference will con
tinue for months, with officials at
a lower level than foreign min
isters carrying on.
Britain s Foreign Secretary Lord
Home returned to London today.
Gromyko and Canada's External
Affairs Minister Howard Green
announced they were leaving
Thursday. Rusk and Home both
said they were willing to return
any time their presence would be
necessary or helpful.
Gromyko's latest statement, in
which he virtually accused Rusk
of hypocrisy and the United States
of trying to plant spies on Soviet
territory under the guise of inter
national inspection to police a test
ban, seemed to rule out any
agreement in the foreseeable fu
ture. Rusk said the U.S. plan for ur
gent action on interim measures
might avert an outbreak of hos
tilities while the conference works
on long-range plans leading to
complete and general disarma
ment. Bonds approved
