Lvskoski said shortly after being picked up for being AWOL (absent without leave) Hanley blurted put a confession that he had stabbed and bludgeoned Martin Zellmer 51 Longview teacher to death Mon day. , The body was found near Kalamn 150 miles south of SeatUe. Zellmer-s car with 430 scattered under Its floor pads, was located near Kent Tuesday, centering the search -for his slaver In that area. Cowlitz county officials reported last night they had found another $41,000 worth of securities in Zeli mer's room at Longview. They sur mised he had lived luce a miser because a careful record of every cent he spent was touna. Sheriff C. W. -Reynolds of Cow- Uts county in which the killing occurred, said the school teacher had a record of four convictions for morals offenses in Wisconsin and Oregon. This was not known in Longview until after his death. - Reynolds brought Hanley here from Seattle late yesterday after the young Marine at last had been re-united with his wife in a tearful scene of renewed vows of love. ferent than that of any other rus- set-producing area. Some local farmers have Indicated they feel the Department of Agriculture may be fearing another potato shortage so are exaggerating the danger of underplanting; it may not have fully evaluated the possibility of an acreage increase following a year of high prices prevailing during me pass season despite ceiling prices. "An examination of the hislorv of potato production.". Henderson reports "indicated Uiat following such a year considerable acreage Increase takes place." The Department of Agriculture's estimates show farmers Intend to plan only 99.6 percent of the 1951 crop. ' Mercker's reasons for low acreage-planting this season Included high costs of- the land, seed nnd abor: a short labor supplv. the loss caused by ceilings last season to marginal arowerc nt l""V "f ,n "rnmem Intention on late-crop spuds. ...vTh..'ac''" reuorts Henderson. that there is not too much potato seed available is not a conclusive reason for small acreage. It means only that a considerable acreage may be planted to very low quality seed or even, in some cases, po tatoes that would hardly grade bet- tci umu culls.

Dancing Bear Gets Approval . . LONDON,- UK Posters adver tising a fete at suburban All Saints Church said there would be a dancing bear. Edmund MacMichael, director of the performing Animals Defense League rushed off to the vicar, the Rev. P. W. Rushmer, with a strong protest. Dancing bears, he said are trained by thumping a drum while the bear tries to keep his paws cool on a hot tub. A Church of England fete, he added, was no place for an animal trained in suffering. The vicar sent him to John Purchase,; organizer of the fete. Purchase summoned his 26 - vear old -wife 'Anne and exhibited a hired bearskin, "That's no bear," He said "That's my wife."
