Polk county District Attorney1 ' " Walter Foster listed the man as Bayless Gilbert Fanning, 57. Dead is his wife, Margaret, 41. ' 3 Wounds in Row i According to Foster, Mrs. Fan ning was found dead of three bul let wounds in the back. She was found by a step-son, Milton Fan ning, 29, just after he reportedly heard shots about 7:20 p.m. coming from his father's home. He lives 100 feet away. The younger Fanning told the Polk County sheriff's office he rushed to his parents' home upon hearing the shooting. He saw his step-mother lying on the floor and called state police at McMinnville and an ambulance. His father was standing about a foot away, Mil ton said. Police found a .38 caliber revol ver in a desk dawer in a room near where the body was di: cov ered. The dead woman was Fanning's second wife, his son said. His first wife died several years ago. ; Members of the family told offi cers the Fannings had quarreled following their return from f e t Sheridan Fun Day activities Sun- cay. ' Officers quoted Fanning as say ing, "This Is an awful thing. I guess I lost my head. PTT Planning For $500,000 Addition Here 4-Story Structure to Co Up South of State Street Building The Pacific Telephone and Tel egraph company's architects are drawing plans for a $500,000 four-story plus basement addi tion to its headquarters building on State street, F. A. Dressier, , a vice president and general manager for Oregon told Salem Chamber of Commerce members Monday at the Hotel Marion. The addition will be approxi mately 60x70 feet in dimensions to provide about 18,000 square feet of floor space in addition to the basement. The estimated cost, unusually high because of the demands of such a building, will be in addition to the equip ment to go inside it, Dressier laid. Construction should begin in September or October with com pletion next year, the general manager estimated. "Salem is one of our fastest growing ex changes," he reported, and gave some figures on past growth. In the past 10 years the com pany's investment in Marion county has grown from $2,900, 000 to $11,500,000. its telephones from 9700 to 32,000. Salem em ployes have grown from 100 to 400, operators from 35 in 1940 to 143 now despite installation of the dials. EM for Empire will be added as a prefix to Sa lem telephone numbers in late 1956, the speaker said, explain ing that this is part of a nation wide program to permit one to dial a number in any city in the United States from here. The Oregon advisory council of the telephone company, meet ing in Salem today, approved 34 telephone construction projects in Oregon totalling more than a million dollars. Members at tending this meeting were Ted Chambers of Salem, who intro duced the speaker; Milo Mclver, Edward Sammons, Ed Dwyer and James Redman of Portland and Frank Taylor, Pendleton. Harry Holloway, district man ager here, introduced Chambers and several telephone company officials. Invocation was by Dr. George Roseberry, district super intendent of the Methodist church.

SV weather Bureau.) a 6 Women, 1 Man Victims Of Shootings Domestic Disputes antl Broken Love Claim Oregon Toll By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Domestic disputes and broken love led to three separate shoot ings in Oregon Sunday. The toll: Three women killed, one man dead, and two persons wounded seriously. Two were killed at Portland, where Gladys Chetney, 31. had refused to marry Roy Bredahl, 40. She was shot dead and so was her mother, Mrs. Gertrude Chet ney, 74. Witnesses rushed into the Chetney home alter a series of shots. They found Bredahl on the floor with two gunshot wounds in his chest. A revolver was beside him. He was hospitalized in critical condition, and police said a mur der charge would be filed against him. At Eugene, 55-year-old John A. Emmick was served with divorce papers, and went loomng lor nis estranged wife with a pistol. He tried the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hunger. She wasn't there, but he took one shot at Hunger and two more at Mrs. Hunger for good measure before departing. The shots went wild. Then he broke into the home of Mrs. Lena Irwin Poyfair, about 60. His wife was there, but he did not find her. First he en countered Mrs. Poyfair in a hall way and shot her. He fired several random shots in a bedroom, ap parently unaware that Mrs. Em mick was hiding in a closet there. Then he went home. Police found him dead from a self-inflicted shot there. Mrs. Poyfair was listed as criti cal when taken into a hospital, but later improved and was listed in fair condition. Near Dallas, Mrs. Margaret Alice Fanning, 41, fell dead with three bullet holes in her back Sunday night. Sheriff's Deputy Bob LeFors said the husband, Bayliss Gilbert Fan ning, 57, admitted shooting the woman after a quarrel. "This is an awful thing. I guess I lost my head," LeFors quoted Fanning as saying. NO EGYPT-POLISH DEAL CAIRO, Egypt, Egyptian and Polish officials say there is no arms deal between the two countries. The Egyptian state ra dii said Sunday an agreement had been signed with Communist Po land for delivery of arms. A sta tion spokesman said later the re port was withdrawn and "appar ently was a mistake."

Miss Mangum Pleads Guilty in 'Giveaway' Employers' Funds "Embezzled for 22 Years NORFOLK, Va. m Minnie Mangum plcadcc' guilty Monday to a fabulous embezzlement scheme from her employers to finance a lavish giveaway program for fam ily and friends over a period of 22 years. The court accepted the plea and found her guilty. The plump 52-year-old spinster was a veteran officer of the Com monwealth Building and Loan Assn. which was toppled into fi nancial ruin early this year by her defalcations of almost three million dollars. She was found guilty by Judge H. Lawrence Bul lock in Corporation Court. Defense attorney Max H. Broudy asked the court to defer imposition of sentence for 30 days to allow time for submission of a proba tion report. Judge Bullock granted the motion, set the sentencing date for June 25 and permitted Miss Mangum to remain at liberty un der $50,000 bond. The court convicted Miss Man gum after she had "pleaded guilty to 12 of 16 indictments, one charg ing embezzlement o' $1,082,968.25. Other indictments to which she pleaded guilty were eight charg ing forgery, two charging she gal false information concerning Commonwealth's financial condi tion to the state corporation com mission and one indictment charging embezzlement of $17, 364.01. State Prosecutor Linwood B. Tabb indicated he would ask the court to quash three indictments alleging embezzlement, one of them in the amount of $2,884,000. The 52-year-old spinster was con victed last week on an indictment charging she lied to the state's bank regulatory agency and sen tenced to 10 vcars.

Restaurants, Unions Agree On Contracts After negotiating since Novem ber of 1955 Culinary Alliance Lo cal 452 and the Salem Restaurant Association today signed a two year contract covering 15 union houses in Salem and granting in creases ranging from 10 cents per hour to 37'i cents per hour in some classifications. The negotiation, the first since 1951. included a rewriting -of the contract for the purpose of clari fications, and aside from the in creases one major gain for the local was the inclusion of n rep resentative clause allowing tne un ion to organize on Ihe job, accord ing to Anne Chambers, secretary of the local. During negoliations the local op erators withdrew from the Asso ciated Restaurants of Oregon to form their own local association with Del Milne of the Marion Ho tel as president and Leonard Row en as secretary. Assisting in ne gotiations were Robert DeArmond and Roy Harland, attorneys for the association. The contract as now signed by the association rep resents the following houses: Marion Hotel, Senator Hotel. The Spa, The Pioneer Club, Marshall's Inn, Cross' Coffee Cup. The Bnte Spot, Cline's. The Malt Shop, Nohl grens. The Rialto, Randall's Chuck Wagon. Chucks St"ak House, Fish Grotto and the Minute Cafe. avoid heavy contamination by radioactive matter. The plane which dropped the first American H-bomb from the air was a standard-design Boeing B52 long-range heavy bomber. Owens of times before, the crew. from the special weapons group at Kirlland Air Force Base, N.M., had dropped inert duplicates of the H-bomb. Once before, the B52 had taken off with a live H-bomb but had to return after a last-hour postpone ment. Maj. Floyd A. Amundson of Grand Forks, N.D., therefore had twice to arm the bomb in Tight in preparation for the drop. On the first occasion he had lo land wilh it on the comparatively short runway of Kniwctok Island, Hut this morning Maj. Charles T. Smith "f Pittsburg.

Iiurner of Charlotte, Laws OKd For Other Industries Work-llig.it Acts Of 18 States Affirmed Bv PAUL M. YOST WASHINGTON lfl The Su preme Court Monday struck down state "right-to-work" laws as they apply to railroad workers. But Ihe tribunal s unanimous decision left intact state laws banning union shops in other industries. Justice Douglas delivered the decision, upholding a 195'. amend ment of the National Railway La bor Act which authorized the rail roads and labor unions to enter into union shop agreements. Justice Frankfurter wrote a con curring opinion. Under union shop agreements, wirkers must join within CO days the labor' organization represent ing their class of workers or lose their jobs. 18 Stales Have Laws Eighteen stales have laws which forbid making union membership op non-membership a condition to employment. These are known as "right-to-work" laws. During argument of the case May 2 the court was told a Taft Hartley Labor Act provision per mitting the union shop was not involved. The railroad act amendment specifically permits the union shop state laws notwithstanding. The Taft-Hartley Act on the oth er hand permits the union shop out spenlics the permission does not apply in slates having laws prohibiting it. In other actions, the Supreme Court: 1. Granted a hearing next fall to Raphael Kinigsberg of Los Angeles who was denied the right to practice law in California be cause, bar examiners said, he re fused to say whether he ever had been a Communist.

Wl -The fac ulty representative of UCLA de clared all members of the school's 1955 freshman and varsity football squads ineligible today but the Pa cific Coast Conference ruled the penalty too harsh and reinstated the entire group. The effect of the conference ac tion is to cost all of the players one year of eligibility but not necessarily in the 1956 season. The conference stipulated that any football players who received "substantial financial aid not per mitted" by its athletic code shall be charged with one year of var sity football participation. It was explained that Dr. Jo seph Kaplan, UCLA's official con ference representative, had no au thority to place a time linr.' on the ineligibility when he advised the conference of his action he could only say that he had de clared the men ineligible. The conference further stipulated that any athlete who can prove he had not received "such prohibited aid" will not be subject to the pen ally.

One more wide turn over a halt-circle ot a dozen miles and they were homing 01. the target, which showed in the radar sight. At an altitude of about 50,000 feet and a speed of approximately 600 miles per hour, the bomb was dropped. It was seven miles short of the bull's-eve, but the speed of the plane sent the bomb plunging o-ward as it fell. Smith banked tt-i giant craft sharply and poured on the power as he raced away. He probably was 15 miles distant when the moment came. Behind and beneath there was the hydrogen blast the flash of storthing heat Jhal came almost simultaneously with the great light. Then Ihe shock wave of Ihe explosion reached out to shake the fleeing bomber. The timing was perfect the product of pil'fr'skill and the split second planning of hundreds of technicians on the ground.

Elmo Smith against Stale Sen. Robert D. Holmes for governor of Oregon in November. Smith, a John Day publisher who became governor when Paul L.

Dickson, Albany grocer, with returns in from 2,463 ol the state's 2,519 precincts. Eisen hower got 221,471 write-in votes. Holmes, who lives in Gearhart and manages an Astoria radio station, had tough going against Lew Wallace in what was not supposed even to be a contest. Wallace, a veteran of state campaign:., withdrew from the Democratic primary shortly after filing for governor because of heart trouble. He urged his sup porters to back Holmes. 100,102 to 106,374 But Wallace is a familiar name and he drew 100,102 voles to 106,- 347 for Holmes, who was on a statewide ballot for the first time and did very little campaigning. Wallace said Saturday it devel oped his heart was all right There was some talk for awhile that he might protest because his name had been crossed out in advance by some election offi cials. But Wallace said he had no such plan. He said he was "flab bcrgasted" by the result but was happy and would make no chal lenge.

The huge expenditure, fo Army Engineers and the Bureau of Rec lamation in the year beginning July 1, includes increases over administration budget requests to complete planning on John Day Lock and Dam and to step up construction of the Ice Harbor Dam. John Day planning money was increased from J500.000 tt J1.450,- 000 which would clear the way for a start on construction next year Recommended appropriations for Ice Harbor were boosted from five million to eigh' million. Money for major dam construc tion on the Columbia River and its tributaries was approved as budgeted with the exception of The Dalles and McNary dams. The Dalles was cut from $47,000,000 lo $42,457,000 and McNary from $4,500,000 to $2,828,000. The Dalles Dam money is still the largest, however, for any single project listed in the bill. The committee said The Dalles was one of several projects which would share in more than 414 mil lion dollars of savings and "slip pages" schedule delays which re duce anticipated expenditures. The lowered figure (or The Dalles, it was understood from committee sources, comes about through de ducting money from the budget request which have previously been borrowed from other proj ects and were to have been re paid. It is not expected to affect construction schedules. New starts proposed by the com mittee include these navigation and flood control projects: Malheur Improvement Dis trict, Ore, $55,000, and Schol field River at Rccdsport, Ore., $54,000.

City Approves Park Tax by 78 Margin By STEPHEN A. STONE Capital Journal Associate Editor Complete returns from all 53 of Salem's precincts, not definite ly available until Monday morn ing, brought two changes in the results of Friday's election from ' those previously indicated. These were that the Novem ber contest for alderman in Ward 5 will be between Earl Bushncll and Walter Heine instead of be tween Bushnell and Kenneth Hutchins, and that the park tax bill to raise $35,000 a year for maintenance was approved by a narrow margin of 78 votes.
