SIXTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Tuesday, January 24, 195S
Nevada Police in Intensive
For Vicious Suspect in Kiflin
unf-
Las Vegas, Ne v. OJ.R) Po
lice, sheriff's deputies and the
FBI staged an intensive man
hunt today for a vicious gunman
suspected of murdering a mo
torist in New Mexico and pos
sibly killing another motorist
who is missing.
Authorities threw up road
blocks for the unidentified gun
man who was almost captured
last night when he was stopped
by a traffic officer for speeding. !
The gunman wrecked a car in.
escaping and also held a man at
gunpoint to steal a change of
clothes.
Possibly Indiana Escapee
Officers feared the gunman
might be an Indiana jail escapee
who had been sentenced to death
for the murder of a gas station
attendant and for killing five
other persons in a "Chinese ex
ecution" by forcing them to
kneel so he could shoot them in
the back of the head.
The gunman's description, of
ficers said, fitted that of Leslie
Irvin, who escaped from a
Princeton, Ind., jail Jan. 19.
Missing and feared dead was
Kenneth Short, North Holly
(yvood, Calif ., who bought a car
in Flint, Mich., recently and pre- !
sumably was driving it home :
when he disappeared. The car ;
wrecked last night belonged to
Short, officers said. .
Motorist Killed
Deputies said the possible
slayer of Short was believed to
also be the murderer of motor
ist Ralph Henderson Rainey:
Santa Monica, Calif., at Albu
querque, N.M., Jan. 9. Officers
said a man passed through a
New Mexico roadblock after the
Rainey shooting and headed to
ward Las Vegas.
The gunman, when stopped
here by a traffic officer for
speeding, showed identification
papers of Donald Gildway,
whose Las Vegas home was bur
glarized recently. When the of
ficer noted the identification
did not tally with the driver's
appearance, he ordered the sus-

ran " the officer and wrecked
Short's car.
Progress Reported in
Weslinghouse Strike
Pittsburgh '(U.R) Negotia
tions in the marathon. Westing
house Electric Corp. strike, now
in its 100th day, resumed today
with an announcement by the
company president that "some
progress" has been made.
The violence-marked Westing
house dispute is ' the nation's
longest major strike since the
112-day Chrysler Corp. walkout
in 1950.
The progress report by West
inghouse President Gwilyn A.
Price was one of the few opti
mistic notes sounded since the
Sfrst of two unions walked out
last Oct. 17. It came in reply
to a letter from John M. Car
mody, chairman of the 17-mem-ber
Nation Citizen's committee
formed Sunday in Washington.
"I feel that true collective
bargaining now is underway
with the International Union of
Electrical Workers on the basis
for negotiations and that some
progress has been made," Price
said.
The gunman then broke into
the home of Loren Tracy; who
was alone, and held him at gun
point. He changed into one of
Tracy's shirts. .The shirt he dis
carded was later identified as
Short's. It was stained with
blood from injuries the gunman
gs
crackup
of
suffered in t
Short's car.
The suspect also gave one of
Short's business cards to Tracy.
He apparently took a liking to
Tracy because he gave him a
watch which also turned out to
be Short's.
Elizabeth To Decide
On Polio Vaccine Use
' London 'U.R) Queen Eliza
beth II alone will decide "like
any other mother" whether
Prince Charles and Princess
Anne will be inoculated with
Britain's newly-developed anti
polio serum, palace sources said
Monday.
A London newspaper had sug
gested that vaccination of the
royal children would do more
to sell British parents on the
vaccine than "any amount of
ministry of health propaganda.
Senate Starts Work On Farm Measures
Washington U.R) The Sen
ate Agriculture committee to
day began drafting a bill to put
more money into the pockets of
the nation's financially-squeezed
farmers.
The Democratic - controlled
committee had two immediate
problems to solve:
Decide on how to finance the
soil bank program proposed by
President Eisenhower.
Decide on what to do about
the demand for a "compromise"
price support plan made by
Committee . Chairman Allen J.
Ellender (D.-La.).
Ellender wants to support
some top quality crops at 90 per
cent of parity. The problem is
finding a yardstick to define
quality.
The administration wants to
keep the support program flex
ible. Payments now range from
75 to 90 per cent of parity.
