At the time,' the shooting was thought to have been accidental, and not involving Mrs. Williams. Now she has changed her story, says that his death was suicide, that she only meant that she felt responsible. Mrs. Williams, mother, of four children, is being held in San Mateo County Jail for the Grand Jury. Quotes From the News Spring Lake, N. J.rSen. John F.

TV's Desilu Playhouse Play Called Dull Story 5 ;i I r '12 1.2 By FRED DANZIG UPI Correspondent New York '-fflPD- Some day we'll see a realistic drama about the fight game in which a fighter's girl friend will rush to the locker room and a cop will tell her she can't go in. And she'll stay out. In CBS-TV's Desilu Play house drama called "Killer Instinct" Monday night, there was no such luck. The giri, played by Janice Rule, spent so much time in the locker rooms that I thought she was training for next Friday night's fight on NBC.

Sulmonetti, acting as the -presiding jurist. The grand jury reached its deci sion after hearing testimony from dozens of witnesses re garding the death of Seekins, who fell onto the track from the first car of the roller coaster and was crushed when two cars passed over his body. The district attorney's office presented the case to the grand jury on recommenda tion of a coroner's jury which "conducted the inquest. It was alleged that a safety bar came loose. Thle roller coaster was shut down after the boy's death, but had resumed opera tion after installation of new safety devices. .

A squared-circle-triangle, if you can picture it. There is the inevitable fight -in that square circle, as we say - between Calhoun and Dante. Of course, Calhoun could kayo the lad but, like a good manager, whispers ad vice and carries him to a decision. After winning, Cal houn again reverts to the man ager and patches up the cuts he inflicted upon Dante's out side while Miss Rule floats into the locker room from her neutral corner to smile beningnly upon both men and heal their internal wounds. Played in Mopish Manner The play, very loosely based on a true story, was dull. Cal houn played it in a melan choly, mopish manner. Dante was appropriately wild-eyed and animal-like, while Miss Rule was lovely and sad.1 Bert Freed, as a big-time manager, said things like: "You've got yourself a boy, there . 7 ." through clench lips. , Yet, despite its mediocrity, the play was notable for one thing. Director Lamont John son didn't make use of a single flashback.

Evidence Shows Montana Hunter Devoured by Bear Missoula, Mont. - (UPD - Au thorities made, laboratory studies today of evidence that a missing hunter was killed and eaten after a battle with a bear-probably a grizzly. Mute evidence of the strug gle was found by a search party in a mountain meadow near Ovando, high ' on the western slopes of the Con tinental Divide northeast of here. It may solve the mystery of what happened to Sam Adams, about 45, of Missoula. He vanished last Oct. 27, while hunting with two com panions. J v Smashed Knife Found His friends, Ed Hodges, 40, and Calvin Trusty, 52, both of Missoula, led the . search party to the area where the three hunters, had split up. Heavy snow prevented an earlier search. The party found Adams' rifle, smashed in three parts, his wallet, shoes and tattered bits of clothing. They also found bear signs and rem nants of half-digested cloth ing, human bones and hair. The shoes were scarred with teeth marks. Evidence of the battle was strewn in a 50-foot circle. 1 Special Deputy Charles Schmiedeke, head of the Mis soula County rescue unit, re constructed this story from the evidence - "It looks like Adams wound ed a bear. He used . all but two cartridges in the battle, but was hurt. Fired Last Bullets . "He apparently crawled alongside a log and tried to light a fire to get warm. He removed the shoelaces, prob ably to use as tourniquets. Then it looks like he fired his last two bullets to sum mon aid. -5 "Then the bear reappeared -and Adams used his gun as a club." Schmiedeke said the en raged animal either devoured the body on the spot-bones and all-or dragged most of the bones, to his den and buried them. He pointed out it was ' close to hibernation time when Adams disap peared. . "The evidence indicates positively that . Adams was killed and eaten in a wild battle with a raging bear," Schmiedeke said. 'L' ANOTHER FIRST by NORTHWEST POOL CO.

NORTHWEST POOLS PHONE SP 3-4340 by hepin These test worth engines are their weight in gold. . . to you!" GEORGE ROMNEY, President, American Motors Corporation Not because of the millions of engineering dollars they represent, biit because of what these experi mental engines have saved motorists they are worth their weight in gold and more. , For economists estimate that if all cars were as eco nomical as Rambler, you and other-motorists would save $l'2 to $2 billion a year on gasoline alone. The engines above represent the most devoted, single-' minded, pioneering development of economical cars undertaken, by an American manufacturer. While other makes were fighting a tooth-and-nail size and horsepower cjace, Rambler engineers were fighting to save money for the American motorist. First Rambler engineers fought weight the ever-. lasting enemy of economy. That problem was solved with lighter, stronger, aircraft-type Singje Unit Con struction. Rambler Single Unit Construction saves hundreds of pounds of gas-wasting, excess weight Next, Rambler engineers set out to design engines to give the best performance on the least fuel. . . RAMBLER'S YEARS OF TESTING We built and tested engines of many different metals, cast-iron, aluminum, various alloys. We are delivering an American Motors V-4 aluminum, air-cooled engine to the armed forces, in a special purpose vehicle. We built 2 and 4-cycle engines . . . 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8-cylinder. V-engines, in-line engines, pancake engines with opposing cylinders. L-head, F-head, overhead valve engines, air-cooled and liquid-cooled engines. ENGINE FRONT OR REAR We built and tisted front-engine, front-drive cars ... rear-engine, rear-drive cars. We assembled the largest collection of foreign cars in the industry. We tested them under every type of driving condition. We were open-minded. Our prototype tests made it clear that the rear engine finds its best use in very small, very light cars; that engine weight in the rear can im prove traction, but creates serious problems of steering balance. Use of a rear engine is at times dictated by styling insistence on excessively low cars deficient in -entrance room and seating comfort. Our extensive research showed clearly that the engine should be up front in a Rambler-size car. There it gives the greatest steering stability and safer control under a variety of conditions. And it provides greater passenger safety than is possible in a car that has the gas tank up front and the heavy engine weight in the rear, with the passengers sandwiched in between. THE HOT SUBJECT OF ENGINE COOLING ; Engineering research and our actual experience proved that air-cooled engines tended to be noisier and that temperature control, most important to operating, efficiency, was much more difficult to maintain. These many years of research and testing of all types of engines, followed by 10 years and 25 billion owner driven miles in Ramblers, have convinced us that the ideal power plant is the front-mounted, liquid-cooled engine. Rambler owners know this to-be true. For surveys show they get better economy and have fewer complaints' than owners of any competitive car. ' Rambler sales are at an aU-timebighu Motorists want a compact car that gives them real economy and han dling ease, plus big car room, comfort and performance. AUTO INDUSTRY TURNED UPSIDE DOWN The Rambler concept has sparked the biggest revolu tion in recent automobile history. In state after state, from Maine to California, Rambler is now outselling all but two American makes. And Rambler currently outsells the seven most popular foreign cars combined. Thus, it was to be expected that other manufacturers would be forced to build the type of car so in demand. But there is no substitute for experience. More than ten years of building compact' cars, added to many additional years of research and testing, are the reasons for Rambler's basic excellence the right combination of quality, performance, room, comfort and economy that motorists want Ask any Rambler owner. He'll tell you why more than a thousand people a day are switching to the "59 Rambler. Or, be your ow n judge and drive a Rambler at your Rambler dealer.
