Mysterious Disappearance of Brewef Adolph Coors Believed Solved ' ' I. II M - ' ' ' ..I I ..I . . .1 I Clothing, Parts Of Human Bones Found by Hiker Denver (UPD The fate of millionaire brewer Adolph Poors III. who disappeared feven months ago, was all but technically certain today. He was slain, and his body abun rloned tinburlcd on a remote mountain Dath. The FBI announced Wed nesday that clothing which Coors wore Feb. 0, the day he disappeared, had been lound by a mountain hiker, about 20 miles south of the Coors ranch and 35 miles south of Denver. Scattered in the vicinity officers found human bones which proved to be the skelc till remains of a man approx matcly Coors build. ' Denver truck driver Ed ward Green, 30, found the clothes Sunday while hiking through isolated mounluin tcr rain and pot-shooting with pistol. Coors' wife identified the weathered, tattered clothes, and an initialed pock et knife found in a trouscr pocket. Fugitive Sought The FBI is seeking a fugi tlve murderer, 31 -year -old Joseph Corbett Jr., who by circumstunces has been linked to the Coors case. Corbett lived quietly In Denver, under the alias Walter Osborne, for four years after his escape from California Chino State Prison. The day after Coors was waylaid on a road near his ranch, Corbett checked out of his Denver apartment. Corbett, orglnally from Seattle, has been on the FBI's ' m o s t wanted list since March 30, but has eluded cap ture. Corbett bought a yellow car in Denver a few weeks before Coors disappeared. Such a car was seen parked near the Coors ranch the day before wealthy, 44 - year - old "Ad" Coors met with foul play. There was no suspicion that "Walter Osborne" was Cor bett, or that he could be In volved In the Coors case, until In mid-February the yellow car was found abandoned, and destroyed by fire, near AUnn tic City, N.J. Fall Pretext . A routine chcckback on the car's registration, and an ex haustive search of driving license photograph files in Denver, produced a picture of "Waller Osborne." His friends, employer and land lord provided t h e details which convinced the FBI he was the fugitive Corbett - and revealed the suspicious timing of his departure from Denver, on the false pretext that he intended to enroll at Colorado University. The FBI describes Corbett as aloof, Intelligent, and usually calm but inclined to the dangerous delusion that he is omnipotent. He owned several rifles In Denver and is fond of target shooting. He seldom drinks, and maintains extremely fastidious personal habits. - ' -" ' ) 4, ,W W' "".1.

Prices went tumbling along broad front, with steels, some chemicals, the autos, coppers and specials were thrown for losses ranging to 2 points or more. Although the Soviet space feat was yet to be confirmed, traders apparently are using it as an excuse to lighten their positions, some brokers feel. The reasoning is that the Soviet UN delegation will exploit the advantage to the fullest when Khrushchev ar rives here on Monday.

Nixon told union members today he never will Join Sen. John F Kennedy in promising to be "100 per cent for every thing labor, business or farm leaders want. Nixon told delegates to the International Association of Machinists' convention they should "look at the record of the Eisenhower Adminis tration before picking president. The delegates apparently are pro-Kennedy. Nixon said the administra tion record includes more schools, hospitals and "real income than produced under the Truman administration Galleries Pro-Nixon Nixon's blunt speech, com ing just a day after Kennedy addressed the 1,500 IAM dele gates, brought a bi-level re action. The galleries, obvious ly crowded with pro-Nixon spectators, cheered and ap plauded Nixon's challenging statements. Nixon quoted Kennedy as having said in Detroit, "What the American labor move ment wants for America is what I want for America and what the American labor movement opposes I oppose. Nixon said that "If I were solely concerned about votes, I'd tell you that." "I don't tell you that be cause it wouldn't be good for the labor movement for a president of the United States to make that kind of a statement to a labor orga nization." Campaign Quotes BY UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL Sen. John F. Kennedy: (In New York Citv before a Liheral Party dinner): "Only liberalism ... can repair our national power, restore our national purpose, and liberate our national energies. Only liberalism can solve the bitter problems this nation laces as we enter the turbulent 60s. They (Republicans) "would like the people to believe that In a time of danger it would be hazardous to change party administrations. I think it would be hazard not to change. I think it would be hazardous to continue four more year of stagnation at home an aboard . . ." Vice President Richard M. Nixon: (At Grand Forks, N.D.): "We must never forget there is no greater asset In the struggle with the forces of slavery than the tremendous productivity of America's farmers. "Khrushchev knows this he told me so. "We must see that the farmers get what they do not re ceive today a fair share of what they produce. The whole thing in a nutshell Is we've got to quit thinking of the farm surplus problem In a negative way , , . we've got to quit thinking in a timid way." fflonfgom 9 Furniture of ery s Ashland Today & Friday WATCH TOMORROW'S AD In The i Medford Mail Tribune Mrs. Neuberger Urges Speedup in Medical Research: Smith Favors Bridge at Astoria By United Press International Mrs. Maurine Neuber g e r spoke out today for a speedup In medical research while her Republican rival for the Sen ate, Elmo Smith, called for inclusion of Highway 101 in the national highway defense system. Mrs. Neuberger told a Lew is and Clark college alumni meeting in Portland that Con gress should take action soon on: , . . Increased funds for re search activities of the Na tional Institute of Health to carry out on contract research projects in cancer, heart, arth ritis, neurology and other di seases. . . . Expansion of medical education facilities and fi nancial help to deserving and needy medical' and science students. More Money Needed "Despite a vast increase In appropriations . . . luring the last five years, nationally known medical researchers report that additional funds could be profitably utilized in investigating promising leads into the cause and cure of killing and crippling di seases," Mrs. Neuberger said. She said she hoped Con gress would give active con sideration next year to a pro posal to authorize a 10-year program of matching grants Bids Opened for School Additions Butte Falls-D. M.

MedfordTribune Kegional Edition Page 2A 6 for construction ef medical, dental and public health edu cational facilities. Smith, campaigning on the coast Wednesday, told a lunch eon at Astoria that Highway 101 should be part of the na tional highway defense sys tem and that there should be a federal appropriation for a bridge across the Columbia river at Astoria. He said the twin develop ments would mean millions of dollars of added income for the construction industry in Oregon and add to the tourist income. "The vulnerability of the Oregon coast makes it logical for U.S. 101 to be a part of the defense highway system," he said. Speaks in Seaside Smith said in Seaside Wed nesday night he has found that voters are "keenly inter ested in the Republican pro gram for peace and strong national defense" and in the GOP record for financial re sponsibility in government.
