SIX MEDFORD (OREGON! MAIL TRIBUNE EDWARD BEDWELL PoinU to Seen Confessed Slayer, Alleged Accomplice, To Meet at Inquest Into Girls' Deaths Chicago (UP A face-to-face meeting between the man be lieved by police to be the slayer of two teen-age sisters and his alleged accomplice was set today at the opening of an inquest into the girls' deaths. Cook County Coroner Walter flicCarron said he has asked that Bennie (The Dishwasher) Bedwell, 2h and the other man, William Cole Willingham Jr., 26. appear at the inquest. Willingham has denied any connection with the sex and liquor murder of Patricia Grimes. 13. and here sister, Bar bara, 15, whose nude and frozen bodies were found in a roadside ditch a week ago today. Willingham's statements and subsequent investigations have led some officials, including Mc- Carron, to cast doubt on Bed well's confession. "If the confession is not true," McCarron said, "that fact should be disclosed as quickly as pos sible for the benefit of two girls who are dead and unable to defend themselves." Willingham, a self-styled hill Medford Pharmacy Planning lo Move Medford Pharmacy, 127 East Sixth st., Medford, will move Its location to the former Evans Sport Shop space.

SERIOUSLY INJURE! Former Yale swimming champ, John Marshall (above) Olympic star, and holder of many world rec ords, was seriously injured in an auto accident near ; Melbourne, Australia on his ; way to a swim meet Doctors reported iim as "sinking.' D BARBARA GRIMES On of Murdered Pair billy singer from Richmond, Va., admitted to police he and Bed well "'picked up" two girls on skid road, but denied they were the Grimes sisters. Police said Willingham. nick named "Frank Sinatra" because Senate Committee To Food Marketing Costs, Washington 4J.R) The Senate Agriculture Committee is investigating food marketing costs and profits to find out "who gets how much" of the consumer's food dollar. Agriculture Department fig ures show that 60 cents of the consumer's dollar went for mar keting costs last year, compar ed with 53 cents in 1950. The farmer's share dropped from 47 to 40 cents over the same per iod, according to department records. Sen. Allen J. Ellender (D-La.), chairman of the Senate commit tee, said he ordered the study to 'get the facts and to see whether we can increase the farmer's share." If the trend of rising marketing costs contin Master's Degree in Secondary Education Considered at SOC Ashland Possible establish ment of a five year master's de gree program at Southern Ore gon college for teachers in sec ondary education is being con sidered by a statewide commit tee, according to Dr. E. W. Bow man and Dr. A. W. Graham. Members of the committee had their first opportunity to collectively discuss the need and Dr. Schalm To Speak At Veterinary Clinic Dr. O. W. Schalm, professor of clinical pathology and asso ciate dean in the University of California school of veterinary medicine, Davis, Calif., will be principal speaker at the veter inary clinic to be. held at the Jerome Prairie Community hall Monday, Feb. 4, starting at 10 a.m. Dr. Schalm has published more than 50 papers on the sub ject of mastitis and represented the United States in Denmark on cooperative studv of mastitis in 1952. A panel of local dairymen, consisting of Arden Kausen, Bob Martin, Cecil Johnson, Russ Johnson, Keith Jenkins and Mrs. Mike Davies. will discuss their methods for controlling mastits. In the afternoon there ! will be a milking machine clinic and a panel discussion led by veterinarians from Jose phine and Jackson counties. A pot luck lunch will be served at noon with dairy products donated. The meeting, which is open to all dairymen and their wives, is being sponsored by the Jose phine county extension service, veterinarians of Josephine and Jackson counties and the milk ing machine dealers and manu facturers. Youths Reminded of Service Registration G. T. Applewhite, chairman of the local selective service board, today reminded young men the law reauires them to resister for the selective service ! within five days after their 18th birthdays. 'The currently reduced monthly calls for induction in Oregon has resulted in an in creased letdown of prompt reg istrations." he said. "This is not a wilful disregard of the law in most instances but is consid ered to be an oversight. Even i though inductions may continue to be light and to a large ex tent may be filled by those vol unteering for induction, the Uni versal Military Training and Service act still requires every young man to register promptly." Tuesday, January 29, 1957 PATRICIA GRIMES Body Under Culvert of his singing, resembled the man named ' Fra.ik" whom Bed- well cited as his partner in the crime. Willingham said the girls he and Bedwell took on a tour of skid road saloons shortly after i ues, he said, something may have to be done." Ellender said Congress is not likely to approve any federal control over food marketing costs. "That would mean price fixing, and I don't like that," the senator said. The farm bloc leader said a committee staff study of mark eting costs and margins will be ready for review by committee members in three or four weeks. The 15-member committee will then decide whether to hold pub lic hearings. Ellender praised food hand lers and processors for their co operation in the staff study. Agriculture Department stud ies in recent years show sub stantial increases in marketing possibilities, of such a program at a meeting in Eugene Jan. 11. Dr. Graham stated that each in stitution was instructed to sur vey the need for granting a mas ter's degree in secondary educa tion. He said that as a part of the effort to anaize the need South ern Oregon college is sending letters to all junior and senior high schools in Jackson. Joseph ine and Klamath counties. Explain Courses The letters explain courses at Southern Oregon college lead ing to a master's degree in sec ondary education. The teachers also will be asked to indicate whether they would be interest ed in attending SOC if such a de gree were available. Dr. Graham and Dr. Bowman both stressed that the exact na ture of the proposed master's degree has not yet been deter mined, because ideas for the pro gram are still in the planning stage. Graham stated, however, that there is some consideration be ing given by SOC to granting a master's degree in general studies. In obtaining such a degree the student would be required to take 15 .hours of professional courses, 15 hours in his major. 9 hours in secondary education, and 6 hours of electives. He added that each of the de partments is currently consider ing which "400" courses should be offered as graduate, and what "500" courses would be neces sary to offer a master of science in general education. Offers 90 Hours Graham further stated that Southern- Oregon college cur rently offers 90 hours of work in professional education, and that the college already has a master s degree program in the elementary field. In addition, Graham and Bowman men tioned that there are several high school teachers already en rolled at SOC who are taking courses leading toward a mas ters degree. Also stressed was the fact that SOC is now preparing several secondary education students who attend the school five years before they are qualified as high school teachers. Graham com mented that it would therefore be logical and consistent for these students to be able to ob-1 tain their masters degree in sec ondary education at Southern Oregon college. The stat e-w i d e committee studying the program is com posed of two faculty members from each Oregon college, with the exception of Portland State. The next meeting of this group will be in February. WILLIAM WILLINGHAM Is He Accomplice? Christmas were Indian girls from Michigan, At Detroit, police said one of the girls, Carol King, 19, con- firmed she and her girl friend, Irene Dean, dated Willingham and Bedwell at the time. Investigate Profits costs for many foods, including milk, beef, bread, pork, and poultry. Marketing costs for eggs have dropped slightly. Marketing Costs Rose Farm prices were dropping from 1951 through 1955 but ris ing marketing costs prevented any substantial reduction in consumer prices. When farm prices stabilized last year, con sumer prices started climbing. Department officials traced the increased marketing costs since 1950 to a "substantial" boost in food, industry wages, supplies, and transportation ex penses . At the same time, they said, profits of some food firms, in cluding meat packers, and re tail grocery chains have been climbing in recent years. Prof its of a sample group of food marketing firms, they said, have been moving up slowly after a sharp drop in 1951. But profits of six major bak ing companies have been edg ing down. Ellender said labor and man agement in the food industry "have a golden opportunity to help work out a way to check the increase in labor costs and the costs of commodities." Further wage increases must be coupled with stepped - up productivity, he said, "or we'll be in trouble." C .

Charles Edmundson said in a statement earlier that loss of his job was "not too high a prire for an American to pay for the luxury of saying what he be lieves." The U.S. Information Agency in Washington demanded Ed mundson's resignation on the ground that he violated a regu lation forbidding employees from issuing unauthorized state ments. Criticizes Foreign Policy Edmundson Sunday denounc ed the Eisenhower doctrine as a "blank check for one - man rule" in a statement in Tokyo. He made additional criticisms of the doctrine and other as pects of U.S. foreign policy in a statement issued today. President Eisenhower, Ed mundson said, "wants to turn his back on the United Nations and take upon America's shoul ders alone the task of preserv ing peace in the Middle East." "I am against such a course, I have said so and that is why I am asked to resign," Edmund son said. Edmundson's statement was made in Tokyo before his re turn to Seoul this afternoon to resign. As a member of the USIA in Korea. Edmundson handed his resignation to John P. Mc Knight, director of USIA here. Stassen's Argument For GOP Rejected Washington '.U.R) The White House has rejected Harold E. Stassen's argument that having Vice President Richard M. Nixon on the GOP ticket last year cost Republicans control of Congress. Stassen, presidential disarma ment adviser and 'one-time "boy wonder 'of GOP politics, said Sunday on a TV panel show that he believed the Republi cans would have won Congress if Gov. Christian A. Herter of Massachusetts had replaced Nixon on the ticket. Herter, who will succeed Herbert Hoover Jr. as under secretary of state Friday, was boomed unsuccessfully by Stas sen to replace Nixon on the GOP ticket. Acting White House Press Secretary Murray Snyder said Monday he had not discussed Stassen's remarks with Presi dent Eisenhower. But he said Stassen "was expressing his own views and I have found no one in the White House who holds the same views." Employee of Soviet Embassy Departs; Expulsion Hinted New York U.R) An em ployee of the Soviet Embassy in Washington left here Monday night for Paris without com menting on speculation he had been expelled in connection with a newly-disclosed Soviet spy ring said to be operating in the United States. Both the State department and the Soviet Embassy refused to discuss the sudden departure of Vassil Molev, indicating that the Russian had been ousted from the country. Molev, after first denying his identity when confronted by re porters at International airport, said, "I cant' say anything." Held Minor Post Molev and his wife, Taisiya, who accompanied him Monday night, had been in Washington since September, 1955. A spokes man at the Soviet Embassy said Molev held a minor post, similar to that of a clerk. Air France officials said he and his wife had reservations only to Paris. If Molev was expelled, he was the second Russian to be ousted in three days. Maj. Yuri P. Kry lov, an assistant Soviet military attache, left last Saturday for home after being declared per sona non grata (an undesirable person). U.S. government offi cials said Krylov improperly bought electronic equipment and tried to puchase American mili tary secrets while in this coun try. May Disclose Molev's Part Indications were the State and Justice Departments would dis close within the next two days whether Molev was expelled or left the country voluntarily. There was speculation Molev was one of the Soviet officials whom the FBI had indicated Grand Jury Members Are Sworn in Here Seven persons were sworn in by the clerk of the circuit court to serve on the Jackson county grand jury recently.
