Gl Hitchhiker
Jailed In Reich j
BAD NAUHEIM, Germany, '
Aug. 8 OP) A former soldier
who hitch-hiked back to Ger
many because he found jobs
scarce and prices high in the
United States was detained in
jail today while army officials
investigated to determine wheth
er he entered the U. S. occupa-!
tion zone legally.
Headquarters at Frankfurt
said no charges had been filed
against the former soldier,
Kalph K. Betz, 26, of Willoughby, !
Ohio. An army official said
Betz was arrested after failing
to report twice daily to the pro-
vost marshal as directed when j
the investigation began. I
Betz served 42 months in the
irmy and was wounded in i
France. !
He said he came into Germany
without a passport of military
orders by the simple expedient
of stowing away on a troopship.
"So many GI's couldn't find
jobs at home and with prices so
high you couldn't live on your
salary if you got a job," Betz
said.
Then began a legal merry-go-round
as various military
agencies shunted him from one
office to another trying to de
cide what should be done with
him.
"When Poles sneak into the
American zone illegally they set
up a camp for them, but an
American they throw In jail,"
Betz remarked wryly.

young possessor of the dual per
sonality who said he burglarized
to obtain sexual gratification.
The mental tests were request
ed by Roland Towle of di'fi-nss
counsel. States Attorney William
J. Tuohy, who was in court for
the first public appearance of the
university student since he re-
enacted the brutal killings Tues
day, said he would approve ap
pointment of additional alienists
for the examination if more were
requested.
In addition to the murder in
dictments, the court also contin
ued 29 other charges of burglary,
assault and robbery to Septem
ber 4. At an arraignment last
week on the Degnan and Brown
killings, the court fixed August
14 for ihe next hearing. This
assignment was superseded by
today's proceedings. Heirens was
indicted only yesterday for the
Ross murder.
Mrs. Ross was the first of
the brawny, dark-complexioned
youth's slaying victims. Miss
Brown, slain in her apartment
on December 10, 1945, was his
second and the Degnan kidnap
ing, strangling and dismember
ment, which shocked the nation,
the third.
Heirens signed his confession
almost seven months to the hour
from the time he stole Suzanne
from her bedroom.
Sheriff Michael Mulcahy yes
terday disclosed that a razor
blade was found concealed in
one of four books brought to the
county jail on request of the con
fessed triple slayer.
Mulcahy said he "believed he
(Heirens) knew that razor blade
was in that book." Mulcahy said
the youth, who is under constant
guard in his cell, uses an electric
razor, as do other prisoners, but
he has asked for a straight-edged
razor several times.

Klamath Residents Slow
To Use Airmail Service
Klamath residents just aren't
accustomed to airmail service
yet. This is the opinion of Post
master Burt E. Hawkins after a
week of service has shown only
about a 50 per cent increase in
the uso of airmail.
A steady growth in airborne
mail In pluce of three cent let
ters is expected by Hawkins as
"people both in Klamath county
and throughout the United States
become aware of the service.
Hawkins predicted that airmail
will develop even faster if con
gress lowers the postage rate to
five cents, three cents below the
present rates.
So far, only a temporary mes
senger delivers the mail to the
airport. In a month or two, the
post office will advertise for bids
for carrying the mall to and from
the planes.
