paratrooper, and con
fessed slayed of pretty 38-year-old

member mutilating her body
with a two-tined roasting fork.
Mrs. Johnson was found in her
home Saturday, garrotcd and
repeatedly stabbed.
Detectives, who arrested Ol

the struggle.

his mother, Olson turned to her
and said, according to detec
tives: "They're right. I did it."
Mrs. Olson collapsed to the

or her son could catch her.

manager of the U. S. National
bank as of January 19, and af
ter a short rest will assume the
duties of office and credit man

Ladd & Bush bank around 1914,
remaining there until the first
World war. Returning from
service, he took a position with
the Oregon state banking de
partment as examiner and as
sistant superintendent of banks.
He again joined the Ladd &
Bush batik in 1934 shortly be
fore its merger with the U. S.
National state-wide organiza
tion. His services as assistant
manager have given him in
valuable experience in the fin
ancial and business world.

Rotary, treasurer and member
of the board of the Salem
YMCA, president of Marion
County Public Health associa
tion, and secretary and mem

church, married to Elizabeth
E. Gilbert, and is the father of
four girls. Alcetta, Beth, Ann
and Rosemary.
Commenting on the new as
sociation, Mr. Elfstrom said to
day:
"The new organization which
we are building at the Court
street store will require the
service of the highest type fin
ancial and office manager we
can find. We are wholly gra
tified in securing Mr. Gilbert
for this all-important position.
Post-war building and home im
provement will call for many
new phases of financing. New
merchandising methods will re
quire meticulous and far-sight
ed credit treatment. We feel
that with Mr. Gilbert's excel
lent training, we are entering
this new era of American busi
ness well prepared for the many
problems that will arise."
Former associates at the
bank expressed sincere regret
of Mr. Gilbert s leaving, but of
fcrcd congratulations and best
wishes in his new work with
the Elfstrom organization.
