Cline Case Difficult Because Of Cremations SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 13 Edmund UP) District Attorney Gerald Brown said today a trans continental hunt through at least a half dozen cities, prompt ed by the arrest here of a for mer convict, already has "es ' tabllthed a definite pattern" in the deaths and cremation of three elderly women. Brown said investigation of the case was made difficult by the fact that all of the bodies had been cremated, "but we are coordinating the investigations - of those deaths." The ex-convict, Alfred Leon ard Cline, is held here on a charge of suspected forgery of estate papers of one of the wom en. If a more serious charge does not develop, Brown said, "we will prosecute here for forgery. Cline has two previous convic tions. We would prosecute him , . as a habitual criminal, which means a life sentence in case of conviction." Case Spreads The Cline case, which began here with his arrest in connec tion with the estate of a wealthy Chicago widow, has spread across the country, with devel opments in Portland, Chicago, Dallas, Tampa, Jacksonville, Fla., Columbus, O., and Bloom ington, Ind. The deaths occurred at Dal las, Portland and Jasksonville. . Cline was arrested Dec. 3, on the demand of a Chicago attor ney representing the estate of Mrs. Eva Delora Krebs of Chi cago. The Attorney Gerald Ry an said it appeared names had been forged in the sale of her securities. Stock Changed In Columbus yesterday, a safety deposit box yielded more than $200,000 in cash and securi ties from the estate of Mrs. Krebs. A 1165,000 block of stock, , originally made out to Mrs. Krebs, had been changed jointly to Alfred L. Cline and Mrs. Krebs. Cline said Mrs. Krebs died as his wife in Portland from na tural causes, and was cremated. However, Captain John Engler of San Francisco police inspec tors, said ha was convinced the woman who died in Portland was not Mrs. Krebs, but was Mrs. Isabel Van Natta of San Fran cisco, elderly pensioner, whom Cline is believed to have accom panied to Oregon.

(AP wirephoto). termlngled private and public lands are involved, A group of 60 to 70 small operators, who object to allow ing only timber owners in the area to ouy the government tim ber, proposed these changes: 1. A government bureau should be set up to classify the conservation practices of every operator, and operators with the best conservation record be given priority in buying govern ment timber. 2. Anyone cutting small second-growth would be ineligible to buy government timber for five years. 3. Overripe timber' should be cut first. 4. Government timber should not be restricted until the war emergency ends and all veterans have homes.

Clark, Clark's pond, located just outside and to the left of the naval air station in Altamont, will again be open to the public for ice skating, it was announced by the city recreation depart ment today. If the cold weather continues, the ice on the pond should be heavy enough for skating by this evening. The pond is to be drained, but as long as it is usable, it will be available for public use. Clark asks that people wishing to build fires near tho pond supply their own wood. Last year, some damage to the buildings on his property was done by skaters wanting fire wood. The pond has been leased to the Future Farmers of America, but Bruce Bolden, head of the Henley FFA, stated that the or ganization will be glad to co operate with the plan. Warning E. E, Hambiick, city recrea tion director, reminds skutors of the danger of skating on Upper Klamath hike. "Every yonr we have tragedies on tho Upper Klamath, ho remarked. "The hot springs in the lake make skating extremely dangerous. It is not safe tor skating at any time." It is the hopo of the de partment that peoplo will sknte on Clark's pond and tho pond across from the entrance to Moore park, rather than risk the dangers of the lake. The ideal set-up, according to Hambrlck, would be to have a covored skating rink, which could be used for roller skating in summer and be flooded fur ice skating in winter. Clnrk wisnes to make It clear that the posted signs on his prop erty aro for the benefit of hunt ers and not Intended for skaters. Stromberg - Carlson Radios, Derby's Musle Co.
