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

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

Dr. Schalm has published

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."

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.

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."

U.S. Information
Officer Asked To
Submit Resignation
Seoul, Korea (U.R) A U.S.
information officer who public
ly denounced President Eisen
hower's Middle East doctrine
handed in his resignation to
day. 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
