Disappearance
Washington (U.f A U.S.
diplomat returned to his post in
the Dominican Republic Satur
day despite complaints in Ciu-
dad Trujillo that he was offen
sively "skeptical" about Domini
can investigation of the disap
pearance of an American pilot.
The state department said in
a brief announcement that
Charge d'Affairs Richard H.
Stephens had gone back to his
job after "brief consultation"
with officials here concerning
the disappearance of Gerald Les
ter Murphy of Eugene, Ore.
Murphy has been missing in
the Caribbean nation since Dec.
3. Life magazine this week link
ed Murphy with the case of Dr.
Jesus de Galindez who disap
peared from New York last
March 12.
Piloted by Murphy
Life said Galindez was kid
naped and flown to the Domini
can Republic in a plane piloted
by Murphy. The magazine said
Murphy subsequently disappear
ed after talking "carelessly."
Stephens' return indicated the
Dominican government has not
pressed complaints by Domini
can Attorney General A. Beral
that the U. S. diplomats had
been "offensive" by voicing
doubt of the efficiency of the
Dominican investigation.
An honorary vice consul in
Philadelphia for the Dominican
Republic said Friday that he has
filed legal action in behalf of
Murphy's parents.
Robert D. Abrahams said the
action was taken against the
estate of Octavio de la Maza,
who Dominican police say kill
ed himself after leaving a note
confessing that he had killed
Murphy.
The consul said the legal ac
tion was taken to compensate
Murphy's parents for the appar
ent death of their son.

Mistrial Ruled
In Mitchell Case
Fossil (U.R) Trial on nine
suits brought by residents of
flood ravaged Mitchell in cen
tral Oregon was ruled a mistrial
Friday, tossing out of court the
four days of hearing that had
gone into the record.
Circuit .Judge E. W. Howell
ruled the mistrial on the motion
of a state attorney who contend
ed that a question posed by an
attorney for the plantiff was in
flamatory. - -
The suits had been brought
against the State Highway De
partment by the Mitchell" resi
dents who contended that the
disastrous flood of July, 1956,
which wiped out much of the
town, was a direct result of the
construction of highway 26
through the town.
The statement to which state
attorneys took exception was a
question asked of Al Bate, High
way Department engineer Owen
Penner asked Bates: "Is it not
true that you made this state
ment that you didn't care, that
people who lived in places like
that ought to be washed out."
Bates replied: "Yes excuse
me, no. Well, I might have said
that."
Attorneys indicated that they
will seek another trial later this
year on the suits.
