F4m FurenSshes Lead in KSDlSnig off Chicago Women .Starved Rock Park, 111. (UPD - Authorities said today a roll of color film had furnished them "a real lead" in the sex kflling of three prominent Chicago women. Harlan Warren, La Salle county state's attorney, refus ed to let newsmen view the photographs but said they gave him a completely new line of investigation, jaanding By Cave . A sheriff's deputy disclosed that the pictures showed two of the women standing in front of the cave where their raped and bludgeoned bodies were found Wednesday. Police theorized the women must have been surprised in front of the cave by their kill er or killers shortly after they took the photographs. Officers mounted an intens ive search for the assailants. Illinois State Police Chief William Morris said police were criss-crossing the state in a hunt for suspects. Morris said officers plan ned to question three "pos sibly good" suspects today. Several other persons were picked up, questioned and re leased Thursday. Rewards Offered The state park put up a $5,000 tax-free reward today for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the killer or killers. It brought to $35,000 the total reward money offered in the ease. The companies 01 each of the women's husbands earlier had put up $10,000. Residents near Starved Rock State Park slapped on self-imposed curfews in fear of a psychopathic killer or killers who beat to death, then defiled the three women. Apparently Cornered The killer or killers appar ently cornered the women in a remote, snow-packed canyon with only one, cliff-straddling path out. Killed were: Mrs. Frances Murphy, 47, i' wife of R. W. Rurphy, vice president and general counsel of Borg-Warner Gorp. in Chi cago. Mrs. Mildred Lindquist, wife of Robert Lindquist, vice president of the Harris Trust and Savings Bank, Chicago. Mrs. Lillian Oetting, 50, wife of George Oetting, gen eral supervisor of internal au dit in the accounting depart ment of Illinois Bell Tele phone Co. Littlest Satellite Now Two Years Old1 Has Many 'Firsts' Washington-DPD-The littlest satellite was two years old Thursday. Since its birth at Cape Ca naveral, Fla., on St. Patrick's Day, 1958, it has whirled 7,845 times around the earth and logged 281,495,000 miles of space travel. It was born talking, is still talking, and seems bound to keep on talking' for 200 to 1.000 years. Perhaps 2,000. What it says is i'beeple-beep, beeple-beep, Bleeple-beep " The littlest satellite is Van guard I, a S-pound sphere the size of a grapefruit. There has never been anything like 'Threat' Denied In Questionnaire Portland (CPA. George Brown, head of the AFL-CIO Committee on Political Edu cation, said Wednesday there was no "threat or coercion" implied in a questionnaire sent out to political candidates by the AFL-CIO. Brown replied to charges by L. L. Stewart, president of Associated Oregon Industries, who said it was an effort by labor to intimidate and coerce candidates for the legislature. Brown said the statement of labor's position was included because candidate's had asked for it. it. It is the toughest and in many respects the greatest. There have been artificial moons of the earth such as Russia's Sputnik III and Amer ica's Project Score which weighed thousands of pounds and were the size of a Pull man car. But none of them can match the littlest satelite in longevi ty and the number of scien tific discoveries and space firsts. To reel off a few, Vanguard I: Was the first satellite to convert sunlight to electricity to power its transmitter. Its six solar batteries are expect ed to live as long as it does. More Accurate Mapping Discovered that the earth is pear-shaped. This has made possible more accurate mapping. Found out that the earth bulges much less at the equa tor than was supposed. Discovered that the high atmosphere changes in density according to periodic varia tions in the output of solar radiation. This may illuminate the sun's influence on the earth's weather, Measured the gravitation al affects of the sun and moon on the orbits of earth satel lites. Provided information on electrical currents in the earth's magnetic field. aGOTKIB!nl mm Price-See? Cut to compete with low-price names'!

GOP Dixie Bloc Moves To Turn Wrath on Kennedy Washington - (UPD - The Re publican "Operation Dixie" moved today to capitalize on Southern disenchantment with the Democratic Party and turn Southern wrath against Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.) A memorandum from I. Lee Potter, GOP Southern di rector, linked Kennedy with f Democratic National Chair man Paul M. Butler and the Democratic Advisory Council in what Potter called a "down-with-the-South power grab." Defections Seen Potter's memorandum - to all Southern state chairmen said that the "power grab" would result -"in wholesale, area-wide defections on the part of outraged Southern Democrats whose political rights have been trampled." "This assures the Republi can party of the brightest pos sible prospects of again car rying a number of Southern states," he said. Potter asked the Southern GOP chairmen, meeting at New Orleans today and Satur day, for ideas "to capitalize fully on the rebellion against i radicalism which Butler s plans are creating in the South." Based on Belief The charge that Butler was pro-Kennedy was based on the belief, also accepted by a number of Democrats, that Butler was the anonymous Democrat quoted this week as saying that Kennedy was the likely winner of the Demo cratic presidential nomina tion. "If Butler has his way-and there appears little to stop him-then Kennedy will be the Democrat candidate, running on the Democrat advisory council's platform which calls for spending billions of deficit dollars and creating an all powerful central government to crush state rights," Potter said. Round Butte Dam Endorsed Washington - (UPD - The pro posed Round Butte dam on Oregon's Deschutes river to day had the endorsement of a staff counsel for the Federal Power commission. Donald A. Sander, the coun sel, proposed that Round Butte and the present Pelton dam be regarded as a unified development plan for the Deschutes. Hearings were held in Oregon on the project last fall. Portland General Electric company wants to build the dam. The report will be taken under advisement along with those of other parties in the case by Examiner Francis Hall before he gives his rec ommended decision. Sander recommended amending PGE's present li cense for Pelton to provide: Reimbursement to the Warm Springs Indians and the U.S. for land use; keeping the res ervoir level at Round Butte between June 15 and Sept. 15 at the highest practicable lev el; adequate fish passage fa cilities including a three-year test program at the company's cost, and reimbursal of the U.S. for administration at a rate of one cent per horse power on installed capacity of 485,000 . kilowatts plus 2V4 cents per 1,000 kilowatt-hours of gross energy generated.

' ' More Federal Support for Schools Needed Portland-(DPD-A former gov ernor and an Ohio educator called Thursday for more gov ernment support of schools. Ex-Gov. Goodwin J. Knight of California told the annual banquet of the Oregon Educa tion association that state re sources are strained to the breaking point but that more money was needed for educa tion. . . "The states,' certainly Cali fornia, have reached the point of diminishing returns in tax ation," he said. "Every source has been tapped. But the peo ple want and will continue to demand the best in teachers, buildings and curriculum." , Not Federal Control Knight said he did not be lieve federal money would mean federal control. Martin Essex, superintend ent of Akron, Ohio, schools and president of the Ameri can Association of School Ad ministration, predicted that school would need twice as much money by 1970 as they do today. He said taxes on land no longer can yield enough money. Russia Mentioned Essex said, "In the Soviet Union, the teacher has behind him the prestige and enthusi astic support of his country men, from top government of ficials to factory and farm workers." Competition from Russia, he added, is only getting well under way. Some 5,000 teachers are in town for the OEA's annual convention. One of the topics which came up at a discussion was on methods to get students to learn when they would rather "goof off." Most Doing Well Maurice Bullard, director of guidance for the Corvallis school system, said most stu dents at Corvallis high were performing well but added, "there always are. some who kick holes in the plaster . . ." He suggested other courses under "easy-going teachers to take the heat off them until the bitterness is gone." ... ' General Electric General Foods General Motors Georgia Pacific .

In San Pedro Fire San Pedro, Calif. - (UPD - A waterfront fire fed for seven hours Thursday night on creosote-covered piling, causing an estimated $2,500,000 dam age to docks and waterfront facilities before several hun dred firemen brought it under control. The spectacular blaze de stroyed the partially com pleted $2 million Matson Steamship Co. terminal dock and nearly 2,000 feet of the complex docks used by Mat son. A barge also was destroy ed and a warehouse damaged. Smoke Visible in L.A. Black, billowing clouds of smoke caused mostly by the blazing creosote, an oily wood preservative, were visible in downtown Los Angeles, 25 miles away. Flames lapped under the latticework of pil ings beneath the docks, caus ing firemen to use pneumatic drills and axes to frniisrp through the asphalt topping to get at the spreading flames before they reached the new mult i -million - dollar Matson passenger terminal. Also threatened for awhile and causing firemen consider able concern was a 125-foot, 350-ton crane which was in danger of toppling if flames ate away its supporting pil ing. No boats were destroyed nor firemen injured, but the Hawaiian Farmer, a Matson freighter, and some 100 yachts in the harbor had to be moved across the anchorage, away from the flames. One barge loaded with creo sote-soaked lumber went up in flames shortly after the blaze broke out. It was believed the fire was caused by the spark from the torch of a welder working on the dock extension. 74r IT'S A WPNPCRFUL STOl aturday Medford School Bus Breaks Down on Trip A Medford school bus re turning to Medford following the state basketball tourna ment game in Eugene Wed nesday night developed motor trouble, it was reported Thurs day, delaying its arrival here until 5:30 a.m. Thursday.
