Teen-Age Suspect in Slaying of
Six Still Believed in Nebraska
Lincoln, Neb. OP The
superintendent of the Ne
braska Safety Patrol said to
day he thought a widely
sought slaying suspect was
"still holed up" in Southeast
ern Nebraska, the area where
he is accused of killing six
persons.
Col. C. J. Sanders admitted,
however, that "we have noth
ing solid to go on" in the "all
out" hunt for Charles Stark
weather, 19, accused of mur
dering an old family friend,
two strangers and the mother,
step-father and half-sister of
his young girl friend.
"I think he's still in the
area," Sanders said, "because
the second car stolen from a
victim has not turned up. Be
sides, we have been getting
few reports, however reliable,
of any sightings and this is
most unusual."
Far for Girl
In addition to three murders
here and three in nearby Ben
net, police wanted to question
the young garbage collector
about the shotgun slaying two
months ago of a Lincoln

Physics Teachers
To High Schools
Dallas. Tex. (IP) A Texas
aircraft firm has started a
lend-lease program of its own
for needy high schools.
The company, Temco Air
craft Corp., has loaned out its
top engineers free of charge
to four high schools around
Dallas that could not afford
physics teachers before.

New York IP) A grand

schools prepared today to
question board of education
' officials about "pressure" on
a principal who committed
suicide shortly before he was
' to have testified a third time
! about juvenile crime in his
' school.
" The principal, George Gold-

! a few hours later at his own
' request before a Kings coun

looking into lawlessness in
public schools in Brooklyn.
Disturbed by Publicity
Goldfarb's school has been
the scene of a rape and three
assaults - in the last eight
weeks. A member of the
school system 33 years and
John Marshall principal since
1954, he was reported greatly

Gem Bandits Raid
Jtew York Shop
New York OPt Two ban
dits held up a Madison ave.
jewelry shop shortly after it
opened today and escaped
with 5100,000 worth of gems,
mostly diamonds.
The hold-up was the second
major jewel theft in the city
this week. Burglars broke
into the Hotel Edison suite of
Mrs. Lillian Kramer, an
owner of the hotel, Sunday
night and escaped with S250,
000 worth of jewels, mostly
diamonds and pearls, and
SI. 100 in cash.
Today's bandits held three
clerks in the Kobrin Bros,
'jewelry shop at gunpoint
'while they scooped the gems
from the newly opened cases.
All the schools now have
physics classes. This means
students who finish the
courses can study engineering
and other scientific fields in
college. They could not do
this without the high school
physics course.
Interesting Students
"The plan is getting stu
dents interested in science
right away and preparing sen
iors for college this fall," said
Robert McCulloch, president
of Temco. He feels that plans
to increase the number of
U.S. scientists are fine, but
won't really help until the
1960s.
"In the meantime," he add
ed, "we need some program
for' immediate results. If each
industry helps out in its area
with a plan such as ours, we
can overcome the shortage of
engineers and other scientific
personnel much sooner."
McCulloch sends his think
ing" engineers - those re
served for top level problems
and who don't have to punch
time clocks cut into high
schools five hours a week to
teach physics.
High schools in Duncan-
ville, Seagoville, Cedar Hill
and Desoto, all towns around
Dallas, set up physics courses
last fall with engineer-instructors.
Helped Design Nautilus
Teacher-engineer at Dun
canville is Fred Watts, 35,
who has a master's degree in
physics and helped design the
Nautilus, the first atomic sub
marine. Principal Roy A. Ro
ger and Duncanville's new
physics department cost noth
ing. Watts uses the school
chemistry lab and supplies
part of his own equipment.
There are 18 students in his
class, including four who are
"A" students and who, Watts
thinks, may make brilliant
scientists. The point to re
member here is that many of
the students wanted to take
engineering in college but
couldn't because their high
schools didn't teach physics
until Temco came to the
rescue.
Watts thinks parents can
help their children learn bet
ter if they are given a good
idea of the things their chil
dren study in school especi
ally subjects such as physics.
A few nights ago, he of
fered a lecture on physics for
adults in the school auditor

service station attendant.
They were also afraid the
girl friend, Caril Fugate, 14,
was no longer with Stark
weather and might have been
killed. This fear was prompted
by a medical finding that one
of the six known victims, a
16-year-old high school girl,
had been subjected to an un
natural sexual attack.
Hopes that Starkweather
would be captured without
further violence were raised
briefly when Kansas City,
Mo., police picked up a young
couple riding in a car answer
ing the description of the
stolen vehicle.
However, Missouri officers,
after questioning the pair,
said occupants of the auto did
not tally with the descriptions
of Starkweather and the Fu
gate girl.
Descriptions Broadcast
After hours, of confusion'
among officials on Stark
weather's height and weight
and the girl's age and spelling
of her first name, patrolmen
finally agreed on the de
scriptions that were widely
broadcast. Starkweather was
listed as 5-feet 5-inches, 140
pounds, with red hair and
wearing a black leather jacket
and blue jeans. Caril was de
scribed as 14 "but looking like
18," 5-feet 1-inch, 105 pounds
and wearing black jeans and
a blue parka with plaid trim
ming. A birth certificate that con
firmed the name spelling as
"Caril" indicated the girl
would not be 15 until July.
Formal charges of first de
gree murder were filed
against both Starkweather and
Miss Fugate today by County
Attorney Elmer Scheele.
They were accused of kill
ing Carol June King, 16, Ben
net, whose nearly nude body
was found late Tuesday in the
storm celler of an abandoned
school.
Names of Victims
The attorney explained that
naming only one victim was
all that was necessary as a
basis for the murder charge.
The other victims of the
crime orgy were Robert Jen
sen, 17, Miss King's classmate
and boy friend; August Meter,
70, bachelor farmer and long
time friend of the Stark
weather family; Marion Bart
lett, 57, Caril Fugate's step
father; Mrs. Velda M. Bart
lett, 36, her mother, and her
half-sister, Betty Jean, 2.
There were many puzzling
aspects to the case.
No firm time had been
fixed for deaths of the first
three victims, the Bartletts.
They had been dead "at least
48 hours" when tneir Doaies
were found late Monday.
Starkweather and the Fu-
zate sirl were last seen Mon
day afternoon when they stop-

tion to buy gasoline for their

guns. The old car was found
abandoned Tuesday near the

Attempted Suicide
Costs Vatican Title
Rome (IP! Prince Filip
po Napoleone Orsini's at
tempted suicide has cost him
his title and ended eight cen
turies of Orsini family leader
ship in the papal court, a high
Vatican source said today.
Banner headlines in Rome
papers linked Orsini's wrist
slashing with the hospitaliza
tion of British film actress
Belinda Lee for an overdose
of sleeping pills.
The Vatican source said
Orsini automatically forfeited
his title as prince assistant to
the papal throne the moment
the incident reached the pro
portions of a "public scandal."
The source said the Vatican
will not dignify the affair
with a formal condemnation
of the prince but from now on
the 37-year-old nobleman is
considered ostracized from
court circles.

VANGUARD AWAITS BIG MOMENT Attempts to
launch the Vanguard missile, shown on its launching pad
at Cape Canaveral, Fla., were suspended because of un
favorable weather conditions and a series of minor
mechanical 'difficulties. Navy missilemen who have
struggled' for days to put the rocket into the air with
this country's first satellite in its nose hope that their
bird will fly by mid-week.
Deer Lodge, Mont. (IP)
A prison official blamed
"hard core" of 40 young con
victs today for a 28-hour sit-
down strike at Montana State
Prison.
Prison Sgt. Bill Mitchell
who was in the cell house
after the disturbance began
said about 40 "agitators were
responsible." ,
"They're young fellows who
don't know how to do their
time," he said. "They're the
kind who always look for
trouble."
The distrubance began Mon
day after breakfast and ended
shortly after noon Tuesday
It involved about 300 con
victs. It was the third such
incident since July 30.
Convicts were locked in
their cells in the old and new
wings of the prison after
roaming at liberty in the
locked galleries of the new
cellhouse.
Officials said they would
not allow the convicts to re
turn to work or to -give them
canteen or exercise privileges
until they could make sure
there would be no further dis
turbances.
Warden F. O. Burrel said
the future "depends on their
actions."
During their sitdown, the
convicts smashed electric
bulbs, burned wood and paper
on the floor of a shower and
scattered debris.
The convicts returned to
their individual cells after
the warden gave them a choice
of remaining at large in the
cellblock and not eating, or
returning to their cells and
getting fed. After they re
turned, they got meat loaf and
cheese sandwiches.
A prison official likened
the disturbance to a "panty
raid by college boys."
