iionaire s
wife found
shot to death
MIDLAND, Tex. (UPI)-Mrs.
Fred Turner Ji.. wife of a
millionaire sportsman whose
horse Tomy Lee won the 1939
Kentucky Derby, was found
shot to death today at the fam
ily mansion.
A Negro man, who was hid
ing in the house when authori
ties arrived, hit Mrs. Turner's
daughter on the head with his
pistol, and then fled at gun
point. She was knocked uncon
scious. Texas Rangers, state highway
patrolmen and sheriff's depu
ties surrounded this oil-rich west
Texas city with roadblocks, and
began a house-to-house search
for the suspect.
Two suspects were picked up
Sheriff Ed Darnell said, but
were released.
Turner was in Las Vegas,
New, on a business trip.
Darnell said he believed rob
bery was the ' motive for the
slaying.
Mrs. Turner's body was
found in her bedroom by her
daughter and son-in-law, Mr.
and Mrs. Clarence Scharbauer,
Jr.
"They both came running
down the stairs to tell me she
was dead," Darnell said.
"Mrs. Scharbauer went into
the library to sit down," the
sheriff said, "and this Negro
hit her over the right eye with
his pistol."
"He came running out of the
library and leveled down on
Clarence, Deputy Guy Fletcher
and me." Darnell said. "He
told us not to move.
"The front door was only a
few steps away, so he ran out
and across the street into an
alley."
Turner and his wife operated
a large racing stable. Their
derby winner, Tomy Lee, was
imported from England. They
also had a fourth-place finisher
in the 1962 Derby, Sir Ribot.

Adolph Menjou
HOLLYWOOD (UPI)- Adolph
Menjou, fashion plate film star
whose career spanned more
than 40 years, died today at the
age of 73.
The colorful actor set men's
fashions during the 30s when he
was named many times among
the nation's "10 best dressed
men," but dapper Menjou was
more proud of his motion pic
ture career than his wardrobe.
Upon graduation from Cornell
University in 1912, he joined the
Orbert McLaughlin stock com
pany in Cleveland, and later
that year made his movie debut
with the old vitagrapn um
pany in New York.
After a brief turn at vaude
ville Menjou returned to movies
and appeared opposite such pre
Worid War I sirens as Norma
Talmadge and Marguerite
Clark. When war broke out he
volunteered for the U.S. Army
Ambulance Corps with the rank
of second lieutenant. He served
In Italy and France, attaining
the rank of captain.
Back In civilian life Menjou
scored a success with Charlie
Chaplin in "A Woman of Par
Is." followed by a succession of
pictures that carried him to
stardom.
His greatest critical triumph
resulted from his managing edi
tor role in "The Front Page."

U.S. hoping
to bring some
A.F. units home
WASHINGTON (UPI) The
Defense Department hopes to
bring some U.S. forces home
from Europe, but they won't be
the six divisions now in Ger
many about which there has
been so much uproar.
AnthnrifnfivA snnivpe said to-
i - - .
lday they wou,d come instead
from Air Force units presently
UUKU 111 A IWlVb CUI14
Spain.
Officials said the development
of longer-range tactical aircraft
plus the lessons of "Operation
Big Lift," in which supporting
air units as well as troops were
wlusked to Germany for maneu
vers, opened up new concepts
for air defense of Europe.
Cites "Rotation"
U.S. air bases in Europe, and
probably in other parts of the
world, can be maintained by
greatly reduced staffs, officials
said. Combat air units can be
rushed in when necessary or
can be "rotated" between home
and abroad on duty tours of
several months' duration.
This would make possible, of
ficials said, a reduction in air
forces permanently stationed
abroad, without loss of defense
strength and with substantial
saving in overseas spending
which contributes to the balance
of payments deficit. Rotating
air units would not take their
dependents with them.
In the official jargon of the
Pentagon the system is called
the "multi-base" concept.
Refers To Concept
Deputy Defense Secretary
Roswell L. Gilpatric referred
to this concept in a speech
Oct. 19 in Chicago before the
United Press International Edi
tors and Publishers Conference.
He said the system should
brine "useful reductions" in
overseas military spending.
Because of the context in
which Gilpatric spoke the troop
airlift to Germany many, in
cluding the Germans, thought
he was forecasting a cut in U.S.
ground forces there.
Secretary of State Dean Rusk
sought to quiet these German
fears, saying in Frankfurt, Ger-
I ma"y. Saturday: "We have six
-.isiji.s Tn Germany. We In
tend to maintain these divisions
here as long as there is need
for them and under present
circumstances there is no doubt
they will continue to be
needed."
State institution budget cuts

more severe slashes might have

As a result of the cuts. 426
jobs were eliminated but about

vacant.

U. S. rig drilling
mine rescue shaft
PEINE, Germany (UPI) -A
giant, American made drill rig,
the largest in West Germany,
today began boring a rescue
shaft to three miners trapped in
an air pocket 262 feet below the
surface in a flooded iron mine.
Rescue leaders did not have
the heart to tell them it will be
late Wednesday or sometime
Thursday before they can be
brought up in an escape cap
sule. The three men have spent
nearly five days in their under
ground prison already.
The men, supplied with foam
rubber mattresses and five
meals daily to ease their or
deal, awaited their fate deep
under a sugar beet field.
The 50-ton drill rig, manufac
tured by the Ideco firm in Ba
ton Rouge, La., was brought to
the mine on flatbed trucks from
a natural gas field 75 miles
away. Hans Schmidt, chief en
gineer on the 22-man rig, said
Planners favor
change in zones
An attempt by Bend city
planners to alleviate the prob
lem of insufficient apartment
areas was undertaken last night
when the board recommended
that three new areas be desig
nated as R-4 (multiple family
dwelling) zones.
Roughly, the areas are bound-1
ed thus: 1. Between Saginaw 1
and Newport Avenues and W.
5th and 12th Streets, excluding
the extreme southwest corner
block of this area; 2. Between
Newport and Galveston Ave-
inues and W. 15th and- 17th
1 Streets; 3. Between E. Sixth
Street and one-half block ea.it
owf Third Street and between
Franklin and Burnside Avenues.
The planners made their rec
ommendation after holding two
public hearings on zoning ordi
nances. The subject will now be
referred for approval by city
commissioners.
No official action was taken
on a second public hearing call
ing for a 1.500 to 1,000 square
foot reduction in land area re
quirement for each apartment
unit constructed in a C-4 (com
mercial) zone.

ing tax collections or the cuts
he has asked in the basic school
allotment.
The budgeted populations for
state institutions were cut 735 to
9.240 under the austerity pro
gram announced today.
Cuts announced today were:
Board of Control administration,
$150,412; state hospitals $2,642.
319; adult penal institutions
$303,929; juvenile institutions
$350,112; and the deaf and blind

the new drill would churn into
the earth at 15 feet an hour.
The three men, Emil Pohiai,
34, Fritz Leder, 36, and Ger
hard Hanusch, 43, were trapped
in the' mine Thursday night
when the bottom of a huge
pond above it gave way, spill
ing 19 million gallons of sludge
and water into its shafts and
tunnels.
Another drill started Sunday
at a Tate of about 4.5 feet per
hour. Rudolf Stein, manager of
the mine, said it had reached a
depth of 125 feet by noon.
Wives and children of the
three men stood by and main-;
tained voice contact with them
by a microphone hookup low
ered through a six-inch com
munications shaft that reached
them Sunday night.
Rescuers did all they could to
make the ordeal tolerable.
Foam rubber mattresses, blan
kets, playing cards, dice, and
five meals a day were being
shuttled to them down the com
munications hole. The mat
tresses were cut into strips to
fit the capsule shuttling back
and forth through the hole. The
men had complained of being
unable to sleep.
They have not been told that
40 of their fellow miners, in
cluding their foreman, Karl
Eull, died in the accident. Sev
enty - nine miners scrambled
safely from the mine as the
floodwaters filled it and seven
more were rescued Friday
night.
The three men still trapped
were alive because they were
caught in a 300-foot-long air
pocket in a dead-end shaft that
tilts upward at the end.
Mrs. Cloe

Mrs. Amos T. Cloe, Newport,
hospitalized at St. Charles Me
morial Hospital with facial and
other injuries incurred from a

Also hospitalized are Mrs.
Cloe's husband, who suffered

Care of 175
crippled kids
is in doubt
PORTLAND (UPI) - About
175 crippled children may not
receive care at the University
of Oregon Medical School next
year because of voter turndown
of the legislature's tax measure
Oct. 15, the State Board of
Higher Education was told to
day.
Dr. Roy Lieuallen, chancellor,
said a reduction of $110,000 in
the budget of the crippled chil
dren's division of the school
was "indicated" by the State
Department of Finance.
The service reduction figure is
based on an average cost of
$625 per child patient.
Dr. Lieuallen said it apparent
ly will be necessary to close 34
beds at the Medical School hos
pital as a result of a $639,000
slash indicated for the hospital
budget. This is in addition to
the crippled children's division
cut, he said.
He also said it apparently will
be necessary to cut the num
ber of patient visits at the hos
pital's out-patient clinics be
cause of a $20,000 per year
slash.
Lieuallen said that although it
also apparently will be neces
sary to close 43 beds at the
Tuberculosis Hospital in Salem,
"all patients requiring hospitali
zation for the treatment of tub
erculosis will receive care."
Youngsters
to collect
for UNICEF
Many Bend area young peo
ple will forego the call of
"trick or treat" Halloween
night, to collect coins for the
United Nations Children's Fund.
Bend Mayor E. L. Nielsen has
issued a proclamation designat
ing October 31 as uiniukf uay.
The soliciting will be done by
members of the Bend bethel of
Jobs Daughters and Pilgrim
chapter of DcMolay, assisted by
the Junior High group from
First Presbyterian Church.
They will be wearing bright
oranpo UNICEF armbands for
identification, and will carry
specially marked containers for
the coins.
The practice of collecting
money for UNICEF, instead of
threatening pranks, started in
1950, in one small American
community, when a Sunday
School class renounced their
"treats' of candy and apples in
favor of pennies, nickels and
dimes for the welfare of less
fortunate children In other parts
of the world. A donation of $36
was duly acknowledged by the
UN Children's Fund.
Last Halloween, youngsters
ringing doorbells collected over
$2,000,000 for the fund.
The UNICEF collection in
Bend has been sponsored for
several years by United Church
Women. Last year, $497 was
collected.

Promotion banners for the
Oregon State Woman's Bowling
Tournament which runs for
seven straight weekends in

questions on
German girl
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Sen
ate investigators today opened
an inquiry into the outside busi

the activities of 27-year-old El

former wife of a West
German army sergeant.
Asked if the question would
come up, Sen. Howard W.

witness, showed up armed with
a stack of notes and papers. He
told reporters his presentation
would take "some time."
The GOP senator already had
begun his own informal inquiry
into Baker's financial opera

resolution, ordered the rules
investigation into Baker's ac
tivities. Baker won his spurs as "Lyn

he became the unofficial aide
of the then freshman senator
from Texas, Lyndon B. John

elected by the Senate Demo

the Senate majority.

Way cleared
for moderate
WASHINOTDN (UPI1 Tha
I House Judiciary Committee
handed President Kennedy a
major civil rights victory today .
by clearing the way for approv
al of a moderate bill in place
of one he regarded as too tough
to pass Congress.
The committee delayed until
its next meeting a formal vote
on the compromise bill.
It is designed to remove ra
cial barriers in many private
business enterprises serving the
public, guarantee Negro voting
rights in federal elections and
give the government wider
power to intercede in civil
rights suits brought by Individ
uals.
The committee first rejected
the stronger bill by a vote of
19 to 15, and then voted 20 to
14 to substitute the compromise
measure worked out by the
White House with both Demo-.
cratic and Republican leaders
of the House.
Committee Chairman Eman
uel Ccller, D-N.Y., said the fi
nal vote on the new measure
would be taken at the next
committee meeting, but this
appeared only a formality. Cel
ler did not say when the meet
ing would be held.
Wins Final Effort
The vote on the strong bill
was the first order of commit
tee business when it met be
hind closed doors. Members
who left the room after the bal
loting disclosed the vote.
The showdown came less
than an hour after President
Kennedy called both Demo
cratic and Republican House
leaders together for one final
effort to nail down agreement
on the compromise. He obvious
ly was successful.
The committee action cli
maxed strenuous personal inter
vention by Kennedy and other
top administration officials in
the civil rights fight.
Democrats and Republicans
who had been lined up for the
stronger bill went into the ju-
diciary meeting conceding that
they probably had been beaten,
Some of them already were
calling the proposed compro-
mise a good bill that they
could support.
Speaker John W. McCormack
had given somewhat of an ad
vance tipoff to the committee
action after the White House
meeting of leaders of both par
ties with Kennedy. He was
clearly optimistic in reporting
"substantial progress" toward
agreement on a bipartisan bill.
Those attending the joint
meeting after the regular leg
islature breakfast of Demo
crats with Kennedy, Included
GOP leaders Leslie Arends,
HI., Charles Halleck, Ind., and
William McCulloeh, Ohio, the
latter ranking GOP member of

the Democratic side, the con
