He again named Miss Hampton as an accessory. Testified for Slate Miss Hampton was origin ally charged with murder in the Hunt case, but the charge was dropped when she offer ed to testify for the state against Hall. However, Miss Hampton was arrested here Thursday on a California warrant charg ing her with the murder of Ten Eyck. The warrant was received in a wire from Sher iff Reno Bartolomie of Ukiah, Calif. Ten Eyck, 53, was found beaten to death near Ukiah, about 100 miles north of San Francisco. Earlolomie said Spencer ad mitted that he and Miss Hamp ton killed Ten Eyck after he picked them up on a Southern California highway and they talked him into driving them to Oregon. Miss Hamptons court-ap pointed attorney, Jack Mur phy, said he would fight any attc. lpt to extradite her to stand trial in California on the murder charge. Attorney Claims Revenge Murphy claimed that Spen cer was out to get the girl because "she told the truth Florida which helped to bring about his conviction and sentence of death." 'The evidence right here in Idaho clearly shows what this man is trying to do," Murphy said. ''He has made accusa tions to local authorities about killings that do not exist, claiming that he and Kathy were involved. He has no compunction about involving himself be cause he's going to die any- way-but he wants to make sure she does, too." Murphy said his client env phatically denied the Ten Eyck killing. "It's a figment of his (Spen cer's) imagination, just as many other statements he made." Sheriff Bartolomie sent a wire to Idaho Gov. Robert E. Smylie asking his help in ex tradition of Miss Hampton. Smylie said he was unable to assist, unless asked by the governor of California.

Putnam Makes Suggestions on School Programs Salem- IUP1I -Dr. Rex Put nam, superintendent of pub lie instruction, has recom mended to Gov. Mark Hat field and the 1961 legisla ture that no new activities or programs be put into ef fect that will draw from the basic school support fund un less the fund money is replaced. Putnam s recommendation appears in tne 44tn uregon education report put out by the Stale Education Depart ment. Putnam said "whileit is probable that there is need to study the status of the presently constituted office of county school superintendent, no change should be made which would create a vacuum in " -'lislrative procedures." Intermediate Office He said an intermediate of fice between the state and the local school districts should be maintained in some form. Other recommendations: j -Salaries of the education department professional staff be kept in line with compar able positions in local school districts. He said a survey shows salaries of stale educa tion officials are "consider ably lower" than positions outside the department. -That the legislature in crease me amoum aipiui"i atcd for basic school support with the "ultimate goal" be ing 50 per cent state support to grade and high schools. -That basic school support money be used to reimburse school districts for "the n - mal school program" and that special programs be financed from special appropriations. By WILLIAM J. EATON W a s h i n R I o n-Wl'li- Back Stairs at the While House: President Eisenhower has not had a full-dress, formal news conference for three inonlhs-the longest such in terval during his administra tion except for the convales cent period following his 1955 heart attack. The Chief Executive last conducted a wide-open ques-tion-and-answer session in Washington on Sept. 7 at the start of the political cam paign. He appeared before news men in Augusta. Ga., on Nov 16 to explain his directives to cut down overseas spend ing and halt the gold outflow. But questions were limited to that subject and Eisenhower announced at the outset that it was not a formal press con ference, Not Conference During an October vaca tion, the President answered a few questions on the first tee of the Eldorado Country Club near Palm Springs, Calif., about a political ap pearance in New York City. But neither the White House nor the corps of cor respondents regarder" either session as a news conference. There is no indication from James C. Hagerty. the Pres ident's press secretary, when the next one will be held. However, Hagerty said in answer to a question that he was sure the Chief Eexecu- tive would meet reporters be fore he leaves office Jan. 20. Interval Contrasts In 1955, the Chief Execu live met with newsmen on Aug. 4 and then headed for a Denver vacation. He suf fered a heart attack on Sept. '24 and did not see reporters again until Jan. 8, 1956-five months from the August con ference. The long interval this year contrasts sharply with the Ei senhower record in 1959, when he met with newsmen at least once a month. Eisenhower has pioneered in several ways in his deal ings with the communications media. He allowed television cameras to record the news conferences starting with his 58th press session on Jan. IS) 1954. He now has had 91 news conferences since his inaugu ration-an average of about one every two weeks. Photographer Discussed One of , the well-known Washington photographers - Thomas Craven Sr. of United Press Movietone-was one of the topics discussed by Pres ident Eisenhower and President-elect John F. Kcnnery at their historic meeting. Eisenhower noticed Craven was in the office to take pic tures after a prolonged ab sence from the White House run and asked where he had been. "He's been with me," cut in Kennedy. "And his son. Tom Jr., took pictures of my wedding."
