County Judge D. R. Smith said Edward Samuel Lindley, 73, and his 70-year-old wife, Bertha, would be arraigned on first de gree murder charges, probably today. The former Indiana couple shot it out with about 30 law officers Saturday night before surrendering from their modest, brick-block home which they had turned into a heavily armed fort ress. One policeman was wound ed in addition to the three killed. States Attorney A. T. Bwie said following the inquest yesterday that "it looks like premediated murder with any officer who came upon the scene a prospec tive victim." Buie said "It's pretty clear to us that the officers were shot down in cold blood without a chance and without knowing they were stepping into any thing more than a neighborhood squabble." Indictment Sought The state's attorney said the state would seek a grand jury indictment against Lindley, a retired Indiana school teacher, and his wife. The couple was accused of killing Sheriffs Deputies Bob Wooten, 53, and Curtis Young blood, 35, when they went to the Lindley home to iv-" - " a reported neighborhood squab ble. Assistant Police cmc .... Tuck, was killed in the ensuing gun battle that followed and Deputy W. G. Ergle Jr., 26, was wounded. After the couple surrendered and came out of their tear gas filled home, police uncovered an estimated 25 guns, all loaded and ready to fire. A "hot rod" panel truck was parked outside. The souped up truck contain ed still more weapons and am munition, a special carburetor for high speeds, two extra gas oline tanks and special tool box es built under the hood. Teacher's Pension "Just about the only place we didn't find a gun was in the bathroom," said Sheriff Don Mc Leod. McLeod said an incomplete investigation disclosed that the couple had only $150 teacher's pension as a source of income, although other officers said large sums of money and many bank deposit slips were found in the house. Police went to the house after the Lindleys' next door neigh bor, Douglas Wingfield, called and reported that Lindley had taken a pot shot at him follow ing an argument. While discussing the reported shooting with another neighbor before police were called, Lind ley Said "I. did not" shoot at Wingfield. "I'm a dead shot. If I had (shot), I would have killed him." Wooten and Youngblood went to investigate the incident and were greeted by Mrs. Lindley who was armed with a shotgun. "She told them to leave their guns in the car' the sheriff said. "Naturally they refused." Husband Started Shooting Judge Smith said that J. B. Williams, a neighbor who wit nessed the shooting of the offic ers, testified at the inquest thai when the officers attempted to For Her . . . for the young in heart Give Her Crystal ...

Scientists Find Increased Uses For Old Corncobs Washington U.R) The tough old corncob, long a rural main stay, does 810,000,000 worth of jobs in the city these days. It all came about through agri culture research. Scientists dis covered during many years of effort that the corncob, rough exterior and all, is a valuable product that can be used widely by industry. More than 1,000,000 tons of corncobs are now used yearly in factory operations and indus trial products. The return to farmers and rural cob grinders ranges up to 510,000,000. Variety of Uses About half the xobs are used in the production of chemical furfural, which is necessary in making nylon, synthetic rubber, pharmaceuticals,, and resins, for petroleum refining, and as an industrial solvent. The remaining half-million tons of cobs have a variety of uses. These include livestock feedings; smoothing, cleaning, and polishing metals, glass, plas tics, and molded rubber items; air-blast cleaning of engine parts and large electric-motor and generator installations; serving as a carrier for insecticides and as a constituent of plastics and tread stock for automobile snow tires. World War Boost Other thousands of tons of corncobs which never leave the farm are used whole or coarse ly ground for poultry litter, livestock bedding, garden mulch, and for filling lowlands and preventing erosion. Many farmers do their own grinding and often return cobs to fields to loosen heavy soils and main tain humus. The "Missouri meerschaum," or corncob pipe, represents only a small part of the total cob usage. Only about 750 tons of corncobs are used annually in making pipes. . Industry began making some use of corncobs in the 1920s, in the polishing of costume jew elry, for example. -The big in crease began in World War II. Millions of cobs went into the production of furfural for mak ing synthetic rubber. Also de veloped was a highly effective method of cleaning aircraft en gine and other machine parts, using a mixture of rice hulls and ground cobs in high-pressure air blast equipment. The air-blast method later was adapted to low-pressure opera tion for soft-grit cleaning of large electric motors and generators Monday, May 30, 195S MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TMBUKS TKKS Bodies of Mother, Children Located Geraldine, Mont. (U.R) Chouteau County Coroner Don McGinnens said today a young mother and her four small chil dren, whose bodies were found in the rugged "breaks" of the Missouri river, apparently died of exposure during a heavy rain storm.
