MYSTERY Open Throughout The Year Certified Check Sent to Stedman Family by Citizens I A .certified check for $400 has ! been sent to the family of Bob ! Stedman, and more will be mail- ed as soon as it is counted, it i was reported Saturday by Don ' McNeil, chairman of the a "Get ! Well Bob Stedman" citizens committee. In addition, "the longest get well card in the wortd" will be sent soon, he said. These are the results of a pro ject started in cooperation with the Medford Kiwanis club by a group of friends of the Medford High school . English and dra matics instructor, who has been seriously ill for several months, undergoing a series of opera tions. Project Closes The project came to a close Friday night at a public perfor mance of the Young Oregonians vaudeville troupe at the high school auditorium. The free show, sponsored by Kiwanians as a "thank you" gesture to Medford residents for their sup port of the recent Kiwanis Kap ers, was used as the focal point of the Stedman project. Money to assist in the Sted mans' medical expenses, and the long card, with enough sig natures to make it stretch from one side of the auditorium stage to the other, were all collected on a purely voluntary basis, both in advance of. the Friday night show, and some following it. The get well card idea was orig inated by Vic Milnes, Kiwanis member who acted as liaison man with the committee. Nearly 600 persons attended the well-received variety show put on by the Portland young sters. Nine Indictments Returned by Jury Portland (U R) The vice probing Multnomah county grand jury late Friday returned nine secret indictments and two persons were arrested in connec tion with the charges late Fri day night. Ray Roadnight, a Portland po lice officer, was booked on a charge of perjury, and Frank P. Mallot, business agent for the local Teamsters Union, was in dicted on two charges. One of the indictments against Malloy charged conspiracy to commit a felony and the other charged ex tortion. Both Malloy and Road night had been under indict ment on similar charges by an earlier grand jury. Assistant Attorney General Arthur Kaplan told Judge Charles Redding that only "one more matter" remained to be considered by the grand jury in its investigation of vice. He said that matter awaits a "mechani cal determination" to be made Monday. The grand jurors were dis missed until Monday morning by Judge Redding. Called to testify before the jurors Friday were Mayor Ter ry D. Schrunk; Chief Deputy District Attorney Howard Lon- ergan, and Raymond F. Kell, a Portland attorney. Death Penalty May Be Sought for Cramer Klamath Falls (U.R) Special Prosecutor Charles Raymond of Portland indicated here Satur day the would seek the death penatly for Guy Earl Cramer, elderly pensioner accused of the first degree murder of Klamath County Welfare Commission Chairman Fred Peterson. Cramer goes on trial Monday here before Circuit Judge David R Vandenberg. Raymond said he would ask prospective jurors whether they were opposed to the death penal ty. He asserted that since med ical examiners had found that Cramer was sane at the time of the shooting in a county welfare commission meeting, the defense would have to disprove those findings to back up their in sanity plea. Farmer and Wife jHave Combined Jobs Chicago (U.R) The farmer and his wife have combined jobs, an insurance expert dis closed. "Once the farmer was king of his acreage and his wife-was queen of the farm home," said Mrs. Marion S. Eberly, Institute of Life Insurance women's divi sion director. "But now the farmer and his wife plan and work together on long - range family goals." Mrs. Eberly said the change in family roles was brought about by these factors: (1) farm ing now is conducted more on a cash basis than it was a genera tion or two ago: (2) a farm fam i ily now has increased prosperity : through greater production caus ' ed by improved and more effi cient agricultural methods and machinery.

Explanation of Disappearance of Flyer is Rejected Washington (U.R) The United States Saturday rejected the Dominican Government's ex planation of the mysterious dis appearance of American flyer Gerald L. Murphy of Eugene, Ore. Murphy, 23, has been missing in the Dominican Republic since Dec. 3. In a formal note delivered by the U.S. Embassy in Ciudad Tru jillo, this Kovernment urgently requested that the investigation of Murphy's disappearance be "vigorously pursued." A copy of the note was hand ed to Dominican Ambassador Joaquin Salazar at the State De partment. The note challenged the Dom inican government's contention that a Dominican airline pilot. Octavio De la Maza. had con fessed to killing Murphy before committing suicide. Suicide Letter A purported suicide letter by De la Maza admitting guilt and other documents were handed to the State Department in Jan uary. They have been examined by the Federal -Bureau of Inves tigation. "From an examination of these documents and other evidence. this government has concluded that if the specimens of hand writing submitted by the Domin ican authorities as being of De la Maza arc actually his, then the suicide note was not written by De la Maza," the U.S. note said. Other points in the Dominican explanation of Murphy's disap pearance questioned by the State Department were: 1. That Murphy was not ac quainted with persons of politi cal influence in the Dominican Republic. The United States in vestigation indicated that Mur phy was "well acquainted" with high Dominican officials, includ ing the former undersecretary of the Army, Arturo R. Espail lat now Dominican consul gen eral in New York. 2. That Murphy's income while in the Dominican Repub lic was limited to $350 a month. The U.S. investigation showed he had a substantially larger capital than that claimed by the Dominican authorities. "The government of the Unit ed States," the note said, "is gravely concerned about the dis appearance of one of its citi zens in the Dominican Republic. It assumes that this concern is shared by the Dominican gov ernment." Murphy disappeared Dec. S. Mrs. Eisenhower Starts Vacation in Gettysburg Washington (U.R) Mrs. Eienhower headed Saturday for spring vacation at the Eisen hower farm in Gettysburg, Pa., j with all four of her grandchil- dren in tow. i She was reported to be con sidering a visit of a week or ; more while the President cruises to Bermuda for a Western pig- j Two meeting. ; The first lady told friends last week she- was anxious to get up to the farm to "open it up."

Fishing Vessels Collide Near Boston Boston U.R Two New Bedford fishing vessels collided in rainy weather off Nantucket Island Saturday, one of the "B And E," sank three hours after her eight-man crew abandoned ship. Capt. Leslie F. Hynes of New Bedford, skipper of the Mary L. Landry, second vessel involved, said he would take the survivors to Nantucket.
