Manhunt Starts
For Killer of
Family of Four
Holcomb, Kan. - (UPD - One
of the greatest manhunts in
Kansas history was organized
today to search for the shot
gun killer of a wealthy farm
er, his wife and two teen-age
children at their showplace
home here.
; The murderer' invaded the
home of Herbert W. Clutter,
43, former Eisenhower ap
- pointee to the Federal Farm
Credit Board, late Saturday
night on early Sunday, shoot
ing Clutter, "his wife, Bonnie,
45, and their children, Nancy,
16. and Kenyon, 15, point
blank. I Three empty wallets found
in the house indicated rob
bery as a motive but the pos
sibility of a grudge killing
was also being investigated.
Track Down Slayer
: More than 50 officers in
cluding agents from the Kans
as Bureau of Investigation
were assigned to tracking
down the slayer, who appar
ently woke the Clutters from
their sleep, trussed and gag
ged them, and shot them one
by one. One of the possibili
ties under investigation was
that the killer was known to
the family and gained entry
by ' posing as . a pheasant
hunter.
"Clutter was a prominent
. man and it was a fine family
- so fine that it's difficult to
envisage a possible motive,"
according to Finley County
Attorney Duane West, one of
the townspeople who believes
the theory of a grudge killing
is as good as that of a robber
prowler, or psychopath.
There was no evidence of
forcible entry. Townspeople
said the Clutters customarily
left their doors unlocked in
this peaceful Kansas -farm
community in the heart of one
of the world's richest wheat
areas. Holcomb owned a 1,000
acre ranch here and leased
additional farmland. . .j

Decline in Home
Building Expected
Despite Increase
By A ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Washington
Correspondent
Washington - (Special)- The
lumber industry anticipates a
modest, gain during the com
ing year in production and
dollar volume, despite expec
tations of a decline in home
building in 1960, according to
the National Lumber Manu
facturers association. , .
This expectation was re
vealed in a nation wide sur
vey of some 50Q lumber and
wood product manufacturers
who reported they anticipated
production i next year to in
crease 2.8 per cent compared
with 1959's estimated total of
36 billion board feet
The lumber manufacturers
agreed tjiat "tight money"
looms as the single economic
factor likely to hurt the lum
ber market Jiext year. They
reported ; a fear of builders
facing a shortage of mortgage
money. ' "
Same Outlook
The National Association of
Home Builders came up with
the same outlook in a survey
it conducted of home builders
around the country.
"Nearly 86 per cent of the
replies predicted a drop in
home building in 1960, with
a median expectation of a de
cline of 15 per cent," the
Home Builders found. "Sales
are sticky in about 73 per
cent of the reporting area
only 5.4 per cent reported in
creases. The principal reasons
for sales declines were mort
gage rates and difficulty in
qualifying buyers."
Carl Minick, president of
the Home : Builders associa
tion, called an emergency pol
icy committee meeting on the
issue for Dec. 2-3 because of
what he termed an "emer
gency situation" in which
"tight money condition
throughout the country have
almost eliminated an effective
flow of mortgage funds."
Tight, high-priced money
throttles home building and
the home building markets,
consumer and manufacturer
alike,"- declared Minick
"And when home building de
clines national' and local econ
omies suffer."
Monty is Tight
Nat Rogg, economist for the
Home Builders association,
said money is tight because of
the interaction of these fac
tors: (1) a booming economy
in which capital is in de
mand; (2) failure of savings
to keep up with the demand
for. capital funds; (3). Treas
ury department methods in re
financing the national debt;
(4) Federal Reserve, board re
straints on credit intended to
slow down what the board re
gards as too rapid expansion.
The Eisenhower administra
tion, through the Treasury
and the Federal Reserve
board, has sought to curb in
flation by adjusting interest
rates upward in order to slow
down borrowing. Rates for
both government and corpo
rate securities tended to level
off and ease slightly last
month, but there is no indi
cation of a respite from the
present high costs of mort
gage money.
At the administration s re
quest, Congress this year per
mitted the Veterans, adminis
tration to raise the ceiling on
interest rates of mortgage
loans it will insure from 4
to 5V per cent. The Federal
Housing administration, on its
own, boosted the ceiling on
FHA-insured mortgages from
5V4 to 5. per cent.
In the survey taken by the
Lumber Manufacturers asso-
ciation, the consensus on the
1960 outlook was:
Demand to Declino
1. Demand for lumber. and
wood products in construction
will decline by 1 per cent. ;
2. Farm demand for lumber
will be about the same as in
1959.
3. Furniture demand for
lumber and wood products
gain 1 per cent.
4. Railroad use of lumber
will also show a gain of 1 per
cent. .
5. U.S. lumber exports will
be about the same as in 1959:
6. Use of lumber and wood
products for making contain
ers will drop 2 per cent.
7. Demand for -wood wall
paneling will rise 2 per cent.
The survey also showed that
nearly three-fourths of those
participating said they expect
their profits to be as good or
better next year than in 1959.
It also showed that producers
of materials that are competi
tive with wood were more op
timistic than the lumbermen
about their sales and profit
outlook for 1960.
Red Proposal to
Settle Dispute
Said 'Impracticable
New Delhi-ffiPDPrime Min
ister Jawaharlal Nehru told
the opening winter session of
Parliament today that recent
Chinese Communist proposals
for settling the Indo-Chinese
border dispute were "imprac
ticable." '
Nehru said he was willing
to, meet Chinese . Communist
Premier Chou en-Lai as sug
gested by Chou in a. recent
note but that some "prelimin
ary steps were necessary first.
Earlier, government- sources
said Red China i would have
to withdraw from " disputed
border areas before any talks
are held.
Chou suggested setting up
a 25-mile-wide buffer zone
through the disputed areas.
Indian officials said this
would not get the Chinese out
of territory claimed by India
and it was believed India
would reject this proposal.
Foreign Policy Debate
Parliament, at the first day
of its six-week winter session,
agreed to hold a foreign pol
icy debate on Red China next
Wednesday. Observers pre
dicted the debate would be
one of the stormiest in recent
parliamentary history.
The government today pre-'
sented a white paper on rec
ent f notes, memoranda and
letters exchanged between
Peiping and New Delhi on
the border dispute and this
is expected to be debated next
week. Nehru . .said .. he . also
would make public the formal
Indian replay to Chou's rec
ent suggestions. .
Nehru confirmed today that
the 2,500 - mile Sino-Indian
border had been placed under
control of the armed forces
but that India had no forces
in Bhutan. Indian troops are
patrolling the border of Sik-kim-Tibet,
he said.-Both states
are Indian protectorates be
tween India and Tibet.
Nehru's policies have "been
under attack in the Indian
press and many Indians have
displayed dissatisfaction with
his failure to take a tougher
line toward Red China which
had laid claim to 40,000 miles
of border territory considered
Indian.
A, border clash in which
seven Indians were killed and
10 captured inflamed the In
dian populace. The seven dead
were cremated this week end
and the prisoners released by
the Chinese were en route
here.
More than 100 million
acres of land in the United
States, one-fifth of the land
available for crops, have been
made arable for drainage.
MANEATER SHARK Fisherman Philip M. Vella, skipper
of the 38-footer boat Chief, exhibits a 450-pound, 9-foot long
maneater shark he netted at Stinsoa beach near San Fran
cisco Friday. Vella said a 4,000-pounder about 25 feet long
was caught Thursday, but was chopped in two and tossed
overboard because he and crew could not get it aboard.
