ft MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Ore., Monday, December 22, 1958 Body of Woman Found in Grave; Police Hold Suspect Ventura, Calif. -(UPD- Po lice said today Mrs. Olga Dun can, 30, an expectant mother may have been buried alive by two men allegedly hired to kill her by her husband's mother. The body of the attractive Canadian nurse was uncover ed Sunday in a shallow, hand- dug grave in a construction area about 10 miles north of here. She was clad only in a nylon bathrobe. Said Hired for S6.000 Augustine Baldonado, 25, who broke down under intens ive questioning, told police Mri. Elizabeth Duncan, 54 hired him and Luis Moya, 22, for $6,000 to kill Olga. He led police to the grave, covered by six inches of dirt. "Maybe she was alive when we buried her," he said. "I don't know. We strangled her and I think we killed her be fore we put her in the ground, but I'm not sure." Authorities said it appeared the bizarre case developed from a triangle between Olga, her husband, Frank, and his mother who was afraid of los ing her son, a prominent San ta Barbara attorney. Only last week the often- wed mother confessed to po lice that she carried out a bold plot of posing as her own daughter-in-law and getting her son's marriage annulled. District Attorney Roy Gus tafson questioned Mrs. Dun can late Sunday night but he refused to say if the woman denied Baldonado's charge that she hired the two men to kill her daughter-in-law. Moya Denies Charges Moya denied the charges, police said. He buried his face in his hands and muttered, "I don't 6ee why he (Baldonado) would say I had anything to do with it." : In Benito, Manitoba, Can ada, Olga's mother, Mrs. Jes sie Kupcyzk, was reported to have collapsed from shock and a heart attack when she learned that her daughter had been slain. Elias Kupcyzk, 61, Olga's father, refused comment on the brutal slaying. He said he planned to leave for here shortly to arrange burial for his daughter. Duncan was unavailable for comment. Compromise In Alford Turmoil Hoped by Demos Washington - (UPD - House Democrats held out hope to day of a compromise to avert a knock - down, intra - party fight over the seating of Lit tle Rock's segregationist Representative-elect Dale Alford. Suggestions of a compro mise came from both north erners and southerners anx ious to avoid a party split when the House votes on opening day, Jan. 7, on whether to allow Alford to take his seat. A House Elections Commit tee has recommended that Al ford be barred from the House pending investigation of fraud charges in his write-in elec tion victory over veteran Rep. Brooks Hays (D-Ark.) Southern Action Feared At least one northern mem ber of the so-called liberal bloc in the House said he fear ed that angry southerners would block liberal legisla tion if Alford is not seated. This member, who declined to be identified, predicted the House would vote to seat Al ford and said the issue con ceivably could be resolved by a compromise. Under this compromise, he said, the northern wing of the House Democrats would be granted a greater voice on the House Rules Committee in re turn for the seating of Alford The liberal bloc has been demanding a more influen tial role on the committee in order to make fcure that it does not block the legislation the northerners want.

National Foundation To Offer Scholarships in Health Fields New York As the first step in the National Founda tion's expanded fight against disease, local chapters will participate in a multi-million dollar Health Scholarship pro gram, it has been announced by Basil O'Connor, president of the National Foundation. The Foundation formerly was Mild Weather Greets Winter By United Press Internationa Relatively mild weather spread across the nation's in terior today to greet the first day of winter. The moderate readings were in sharp contrast to the record late fall cold wave which Sunday sent readings to the freezing mark as far south as Louisiana as a part ing shot. Winter officially arrived at 12:30 a.m., (pst), and tempera tures were appropriately frig id in the East. However, in the interior, overnight read ings ranged in the 30's and 40's from Kansas and Mis souri southward into Texas and Louisiana. Forecasters said the warm ing trend will spread over a broad area from the Mississip pi Valley across the Great Lakes and south through the Ohio Valley into the Gulf states. In the West, farmers hailed light rains that fell over Nor thern California during the weekend, breaking a record autumn drought. known as the National Found ation for Infantile Paralysis, The program is designed to stimulate interest in all health fields and encourage young Americans to choose careers that count in the nation's wel fare, O'Connor said. He said that "this realistic approach" for reaching into the nation's high schools and colleges to train disease fight ers of the future will cost an estimated $12,000,000 of March of Dimes funds over an initial 10-year-period. Manpower Still Short "It is an appalling fact," O'Connor said, that acute man power shortages still exist and will grow more serious in the professions relied upon most to care for the sick and to translate scientific know-how into better health for all. Growing medical knowledge coupled with our current pop ulation explosion finds the de mand for professional people far outstripping the supply." The new scholarship pro gram aims to awaken interest in all health professions and to encourage young Ameri cans to choose careers in the health fields. It is the first such program ever attempted at both the national and local levels, O'Connor said. In explaining the program, O'Connor said chapters in each state will offer National Foundation Health Scholar ships providing four years of Colorado, seventh largest state in the Union, is about the size of New York in com parison of area.
