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

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,

The littlest satellite is Van

'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

Discovered that the high
atmosphere changes in density
according to periodic varia

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." ... '

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.
