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." Mrs. Eisenhower has not
been able to visit the country
retreat since last fall.
10-Year Search Ends '
With Houston Arrest
Houston, Tex. (U.R) A 10
year search for a one-eyed con
victed murder who wrestles and
paints portraits has ended in
Houston with the arrest of Aaron
Gordon, 54.
Gordon, sought as an escapee
from a life sentence at Ohio state
penitentiary, was picked up by
FBI agents at his home. He used
the name of Louis Vernon Snipes.

the other cars and their passen
gers were not believed seriously

Seaman Falls From
Transport; Missing
San Francisco !U.R) A Navy
seaman fell overboard from the
Navy Transport U.S.S. Brecken
ridge early Saturday and was
still missing six hours after the
accident, the Military Sea Trans
port Service reported.

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.
The collision occurred when
the two craft pulled alongside
each other so the crews would
talk, Hynes said.
SILENT BARTENDER
Boston U.R) A robot bar
tender exhibited here makes one
of 24 different drinks in just 30
seconds. Engineers say they got
the idea for this one-armed mar
vel from the so-called "Color
Carousel," an automatic paint
color dispenser that can mix up
to 26 million paint combinations.
