Now on Retirement
Paul Hanlin, 57, one of Ore
gon's best-known law enforce
ment officers, recently was
placed on disability retire
ment after serving as a fed
eral employee for 25 years,
of which 21 were as a deputy
U.S. marshal in the Medford

Champlin Urges
Safety Measures
Crowds of Christmas shop
pers on downtown streets
have prompted Medford Po
lice Chief Charles P. Champ
lin to urge special safety pre
cautions. In a statement this week, he
warned pedestrians against
letting' their vision become ob
structed by an armload of
packages or, in wet weather,
an umbrella. He urged them
to obey traffic signals, to
make sure an oncoming vehi
cle will yield the right of way
before stepping into its path
and to wear or carry some
thing light in color at night.
Drivers, he said, should
keep their minds on driving
i rather than on shopping lists
and should watch for careless
pedestrians.
"It's easier to say 'take it
easy' than to practice it," he
said. "But we must curb the
desire to rush and hurry. At
the wheel, or on foot, take
time to move safely-to avoid
endangering yourself or oth
ers."
He warned in particular
against the "biggest menace
of the season, the driver who
has been drinking."
Last year, he said, 20 pedes
trians died in Oregon traffic
during the last two months of
the year. There was a total of
100 traffic deaths in that pe
riod, he added.
Todd Corporation
Accounting Asked
Wilmington,. Del. (UPD
Actress Evelyn Keyes has tak
en legal steps to find out how
the corporation founded by
the late Mike Todd has con
ducted its affairs.
A m rry a ripfpnrlanfa nampH
In a suit filed in Miss Keyes
behalf Monday were Todd's
widow, Elizabeth Taylor, and
his son, Michael Todd Jr. Miss
Keyes holds 100,000 shares
in the corporation.
She charged that company
funds were used for property
"unnecessary for the corpor
ation's business, such as jew
elry, paintings, cars, airplanes
and yachts." Miss Keyes ask
ed the court to block pay
ment of nearly S5 million to
the Todd estate and $174,953
to Todd Jr.
She said the firm's princi
pal asset was the movie
"Around The World In 80
Days," which Miss Keyes said
has earned $10 million.
Belfast, capital of Northern
Ireland, received Its first
charter in 1613.
after working at a variety of
jobs, including railroading,
entered federal service as a
warehouseman for the old
Civilian Conservation corps
in June. 1933. He worked at
the CCC shops and ware
houses on the county fair
grounds, the buildings which
are now used by the bureau
of land management.
Four years later he was
named deputy U.S. marshal, a
post he held until his disabil
ity retirement, resulting from
a hip ailment.
Traveled Widely
During that period of time
he traveled widely, having
been in 45 of the 48 states es
corting prisoners. He has seen
all of the federal penal insti
tutions except Alcatraz (where
prisoners are met by guards
at the boat and escorted to
"The Rock").
Hanlin has handled prison
ers accused or convicted of
virtually all federal crimes,
but the largest number was of
men charged with furnishing
liquor to Indians, he said.
Once, Hanlin recalled, he was
in charge of a coach with 31
prisoners, and all but three
were charged with that of
fense. The veteran marshal re
called another trip, with 17
prisoners, when one of them
jumped from the car near
Riddle, Ore., but who was re
captured within a few hours.
Aiding in the arrest was Sgt.
(now Captain) Paul Morgan of
the Oregon state police, Han
lin reported. The prisoner
was convicted and sentenced
to 18 months for violation of
the Dyer act (interstate trans
portation of stolen goods), but
received a four-year sentence
for attempted escape.
Hanlin, like all federal of
ficers, received training in
firearms, but says he never
had to use a gun in all his
years of service. Once, he
said, he looked at another
man over the barrel of a rifle
"that looked as big as that
cannon in the Library park."
But he was able to talk the
man into putting it down, and
he says that he's still on
speaking terms with the man
who almost shot him.
Had Many Duties
Hanlin has had many duties
in addition to transporting
prisoners. He has officiated as
a court official when federal
district court is in session
here, and he also has had to
serve papers in connection
with his work.
The most unpleasant duties
are the serving of warrants,
he said, particularly on such
charges as income tax viola
tion, when sometimes the ac
cused persons were long-time
personal friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Hanlin live at
508 King st. Their four chil
dren are all grown. Warren
is manager of Robinson Bros,
men's store here; Don is serv
ing in Korea with the U.S.
signal corps, Robert is a pas
tor in Los Angeles, and Pau
line (Mrs. Al Cleven) lives in
Millbrae, Calif. Her husband,
formerly of Medford, is an
airline pilot.
Hanlin is avoiding possible
boredom of retirement by
working as assistant jailer at
the Jackson county jail.
Runaway Youth
Admits Killing
Five Persons
El Cajon, Calif. -(CPU A
lanky 16-year-old runaway
youth tearfully admitted on
Monday night that he killed
the wife and four children
of his benefactor because one
of the children "wouldn't
stop screaming." The youth
was captured by an off-duty
policeman.
"I guess I just flipped my
lid," 6-foot, 4-inch Carl Eder
told police.
"I pray that God will take
mercy on him," grieving
Thomas Pendergast, 39, hus
band and father of the vic
tims said.
"Why did you do it? Why?
Why?" Pendergast asked
Eder when he confronted
Eder, a runaway from Irond
equoit, N.Y., at the police sta
tion. Surrenders Peaceably
Eder was captured Monday
night after a civil engineer
told an off-duty police officer
of seeing him in San Diego
about 12 miles from the scene
of the killings. The officer
arrested the youth who sur
rendered peaceably.
"I did it because Diane, 4
years old, one of the slain
children was screaming. She
wouldn't stop screaming. That
started the whole thing," he
said.
Pendergast, an aircraft
plant worker and a deeply
religious man who had taken
Eder into his home six weeks
ago to "help save the boy's
soul," found his wife, Lois,
37, fatally shot in their home
here Friday.
Happy Over Capture
In various rooms through
out the house and adjoining
garage, Pendergast found his
four children, Allen,' 2; Di
ane, 4; Thomas Jr., 6 and Da
vid, 9. all with their throats
slashed.
The two oldest boys also
were disembowled.
"I'm glad I'm captured,"
Eder said. "I am happy to get
somewhere where it's warm
and to get food."
The youth, who was booked
on suspicion of murder and
jailed after questioning by po
lice, said he had been living
for the past three days in a
deserted ballroom in the San
Diego Mission Beach area.

The big drop in Korean GI

Oregon follows closely the
national trend, said Brannock.
At the end of November,
1957, there were 6,481 vet

this year, there were 5,435

UO President
Defends Dean of
Medical School
Portland-(UPD-The president
of the University of Oregon
spoke up Monday night in de
fense of the medical school
after what he termed a
"scarcely veiled, direct attack
upon the dean" by the Oregon
Medical society.
Dr. O. Meredith Wilson said
that in his opinion the Board
of Higher Education has a
dean who is doing "an excel
lent job" at the medical
school.
The Medical society, in a
report read to the board by
Dr. Karl H. Martzloff of Port
land, did not mention Dean
D. W. E. Baird of the medical
school by name.
Striking Contrast
Dr. Martzloff spoke of med
ical schools where deanship
changes often and "where the
position is generally occupied
by a fulltime faculty member,
not infrequently a man of na
tional or international reputa
tion in his field . . . men who
have the confidence and re
spect of their faculties and
the profession at large . . ."
"It is therefore disquieting
to note in striking contrast the
mediocre caliber of some med
ical school deans, who. fall
into the group of professional
administrators for which they
have no special qualifica
tions . . ." Dr. Martzloff said.
Dr. Wilson said that the
dean, "while not always in
rapport with the Medical so
ciety ... is in excellent rap
port with the full-time medi
cal school staff. I just want
this on the record."
The society said that in sev
eral areas earlier disagree
ments with board policy have
been resolved.

Senate Republicans Choosing
Sides in Fight for Leadership
Washington- (UPD - The Sen
ate's 34 Republican members
are choosing sides for the hot
test leadership fight that the
Grand Old Party has seen
since the 1952 National con
vention. Members of a rebellious lib
eral ' faction claimed they
needed only four votes to in
sure success for their revolt
and grab off the top leader
ship post held by conserva
tives next month.
They said they would spend
the next two weeks trying to
line up more supporters and
putting together a slate of
candidates. They were reluc
tant to mention names at this
point but Sens. George D.
Aiken (R.-Vt.) and Thomas H.
Kuchel (R.-Calif.) figured in
speculation.
They mapped their strategy
at a rump caucus Monday at
tended by 10 senators while
present GOP leaders sat in
on a legislative conference at
the White House.
Had Backed Taft
Some of the White House
group - notably Sens. Styles
Bridges (R.-N.H.) and Everett
M. Dirksen (R-Ill.), backed the
late Sen. Robert A. Taft (R.
Ohio) against President Eisen
hower for the presidential
nomination six years ago.
But the insurgent band
which met in Aiken's office
included some of the staunch
est supporters of the Presi
dent's legislative program.
Bridges, chairman of the
Senate Policy committee, said
afterwards that he regarded
Dirksen as the logical man to
succed to the Senate GOP
leadership vacated by Sen.
William F. Knowland (Calif.).
He said he personally would
like, to continue as policy
said he still favors
working out a compromise on
the dispute.
"I certainly don't want to
start a new session with a bat
tle among Republicans," he
added. " I hope there will be
some way of adjusting the dif
ferences and giving represen
tation to all elements of the
party."
Full-Blown Battle
However, the Aiken group
served notice it would put up
candidates for all five leader
ship posts when the Republi
can Senate conference con
venes in January to select
party officers for the new ses
sion. The liberals began demand
ing a greater voice in party
affairs, in the Senate immedi
ately after the November con
gressional elections reduced
GOP membership to 34. This
has now developed into a full
blown battle for leadership
control.
After Aiken had announced
the move, Sen. Clifford P.
Case (R.-N.J.) called a news
conference to explain it fur
ther. He quickly found him
self the target of a barrage of
pointed questions.
Case insisted the situation
was too fluid at this stage to
endorse one candidate or har
poon another. But he finally

conceded that he would pre
fer Aiken over Dirksen for
the leadership job.
Aiken said his group would
pick its candidates at a meet
ing Dec. 30.
