Sought
Bartender
In Death of Woman
Carson City, Nev. (U.R) A
search was under way today for
a Los Angeles bartender after
the strangled body of a well-to-do
23-year-old Philadelphia di
vorcee was found stuffed in a
locked closet in his apartment.
Inspector Irwin Butner of the
Carson City police department
said the murder victim had been
identified tentatively as Mrs.
Ann Harris Van Ryne, formerly
of Philadelphia. She was be
lieved to be the daughter of J.
Andrew Harris III of Philadel
phia, Butner said.
An all-points bulletin was
issued for the arrest of William
Boswell, 35-year-old bartender
who resided in the apartment in
which the attractive blonde's
body was discovered

Barring adverse weather, the
Industry Discussed
At Rotary Meeting
Americans have become so ac
customed to industrial miracles
that they are in danger of for
getting what makes them pos
sible, Harlin L. P. Wendell, Pa
cific district manager of the
Du Pont company's extension
division, said at a meeting of
the Medford Rotary club this
week at the Jackson hotel.
"The danger today," Wendell
said, "is that, in taking for
granted the progress we have
made, we may lose touch with
the sources of our national
strength and prosperity."
He said "if ever we, as a na
tion, come to believe that our
position in the world today is
simply an accident if time, cli
mate and national resources, the
decline of America will be well
advanced."
"The danger Is that we shall
forget that progress must be
continuously created, and will
forget the means by which Amer
ica does continuously create It,"
he said.
Wendell pointed out that to
maintain and improve the stand
ard of living of a rapidly grow
ing population requires that the
productive capacity of the Indi
vidual be increased.
Battleship Oregon
Remains Moved Again
Portland (U.R) The last re
mains of the venerable Battle
ship Oregon were on the move
again today.
The mast and bow plate of the
heroic vessel were being moved
from a small park on Harbor
drive and Front street.
The move was necessary to
make room for new grade sepa
rations and cloverleafs on Harbor
drive.
vanished several days ago and
was believed to have fled in one
of the slain woman's three auto-
Boswell mobiles, Butner said.
tentative starting lineup will be
completed Saturday. The "bump
ing" begins, with cars averag
ing the slowest speeds for the
10-mile test facing elimination
by faster qualifiers.
The time trials end Sunday.
Pat Flaherty of Chicago was
last week end's fastest qualifier,
averaging 145,056 mph and
145.596 mph for one and four
laps respectively to set new
course records and win the pole
position.
The average for the 29 quali
fiers of 142.896 is more than
last year's field.
Garrett Low Man
Low man now is rookie Bill
Garrett, who qualified Sunday
at a clip of 140.559. Next In line
is Ray Crawford at 140.884, fol
lowed by Jimmy Daywalt's
140.977.
But railbirds figured their
cars will withstand the assault
because there simply are not
enough speedy driver-car com
binations left to oust them. At
most, they said, four or six cars
will be able to get up enough
steam to average 140 mph or so
around the brick-yard.
Those cars included the second
Novi, scheduled to be driven by
Eddie Russop and a convention
al 4-cylinder creation with
Johnny Tolan at the wheel.
The majority of the pilots
who qualified last week end can
relax until race day.
Still, officials expected plenty
of car-hopping in last-minute ef
forts to crash the linenp and
fans will need a racing "who's
who" to keep abreast of track de
velopments. - ,
'Devoted' Mother
Kills 3 Children
Lake Wales, Fla (U.R) A
young mother, described as "very
devoted" to her three children,
shot them to death and tucked
their bodies neatly in bed be
fore calling a doctor, police re
ported today..
The mother, Mrs. Lorene Cal-
beck, then shot herself. Officers,
notified by the doctor, rushed to
Mrs. Caibeck's trailer home and
found the mother in critical con
dition with a pistol bullet In her
chest.
Police could find no motive
immediately for the woman's
actions.
In tracing the triple slaying,
officers theorized that Mrs. Cal-
beck, whose husband was re
ported to be living in Sault St.
Marie, Mich., took each of her
three blonde daughters out for
a ride in the car separately, un
dressed them, shot them, re
turned and put their bodies in I
bed as if they were asleep.

'Hurricane Sam'
Gets Clobbered
Hurricane Mesa U.R) "Hur
ricane Sam" got clobbered to
day when his parachute failed
to open at the climax of a spec
tacular demonstration, the first
public showing permitted" of
"Smart" the supersonic military
air research track atop Hurri
cane Mesa.
" Instead of being lowered gent
ly by his white and orange para
chute to the bottom of the mesa,
"Sam," an instrument filled
dummy who had just ridden a
rocket sled at more than 600
miles an hour, went over the
cliff with his legs and arms
flailing wildly.
"He must have got busted ud
bad," moaned George Smith,
North American aviation test
pilot who in February of 1955
became the only man to survive
an actual supersonic bailout.
Officials of Coleman En
gineering Co., operators of the
test track for the air research
and development center, said the
rockets propelling the sled down
the slender steel rails had per
formed perfectly.
"We won't know what hap
pened to the parachute and what
caused it not to open until we
retrieve Sam, said John Lechner,
base administrator for Coleman.

Electricity Out of Water
All right, you answer this
question: During a guided tour
to one of the west's great dams,
the guide had just explained
that the water released from the
hydroelectric generating plant
was distributed for irrigation. A
woman in the party asked: "But
is the water any good for irrigat
ing after all the electricity has
been taken out of it?"
Here is a serious case of water
on the knee from a Minnesota
paper! "She recently broke her
leg between the levee and the
ankle."
The standard evening's prac
tice for one ranger naturalist
at Old Faithful Geyser in Yel
lowstone Nation Park was to
lift some small boy or girl close
to the light switch, and let him
press the button to turn on flood
lights before Old Faithful let go.
As usual, this evening the
ranger lifted a little boy and let
him press the button.
Just as the light flashed on,
Old Faithful shot a mighty col
umn of boiling water and steam
high into the air. The small boy
turned and shouted: "Look,
Mama, I turned on Old Faithful
with one hand!"
