it
PRETTY CONFUSED Mrs. Dolly Williams, 26, of Memo
Park, Calif., told police she killed Edward Sieger in 1950
with his own rifle, a few hours. after he had raped her.
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.

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.
Mother-Fixation
Her reason for loitering in
locker rooms: Rory Calhoun,

wants to marry her but he's
such a mixed-up tyrant with
a mother-fixation that she de

Seekins. 16, Orchards, Wash.,
April 10.-
The grand jury submitted a
not-true bill to Circuit Judge
Alfred T. 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

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

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 ."

Yet, despite its mediocrity,
the play was notable for one
thing. Director Lamont John

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.

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.
