    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.

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.
