The Wilsons, condemned to die for the kldnup-slaylng of Miss Dewey at Vancouver, Wash., In March, 1050, filled more than 30 pages of questions and answers during the lengtny lest Wednesday. They were given sodium pento thal, which is supposed to bring truthful answers, and questioned detail about the slaying. The report waa marked confiden tial and state officials refused to discuss It. ATTORNEYS ' However, the Wilsons' ftttomeye, Irving Ooodman and Sanford Clem ents, said the brothers denied dur ing the examination they had any part In the slaying. And in Portland, the Oregon Ian said It had learned Utah and Turman answered "No" when asked: "Did you ever kill a man? Did you ever kill a woman? Did you ever throw a body In the river?" The truth aerum test was re quested by Earl Stanley Gardner of the radio program "Court of Last Appeal." They were not ord ered by the governor but s spokes man said the chief executive had no objection to them. Tlie tests were started about 1 p.m., PST. There were two Inter-1 minions: When Turman fell asleep "from sheer exhaustion," and when Utah declined to take the drug until assured Turman had re covered and was all right. Actual questioning lasted about three hours and ended about 8 p.m. The truth sorum test was the latest chapter In the long story of the Wilson brothers' fight to es cspe the gallows.

Candidate Stevenson Calls For More Local Government SPRINOFIELD HI IM Demo cratic presidential nominee Adlal Stevenson called on the 48 states Thursday to give such good gov ernment to tneir people mat tney will halt the "tldle wave" of cen tralised power sweeping toward Washington. In the first major speech since his nomination, Stevenson warned UUs drift will go on unless the states "perform those necessary functions of government which don't have to be performed In Washington." Then he sold: "The people will demand the services and If they Lightning Hits Five Times SEATTLE Wl A young moun tain climber struck five times by lightning as he and a companion stood atop ML Stuart in the Cas cades says he considers himself "the luckiest man there is, to be alive." "After the third bolt. I thought I wanted to die," Alan Robert Orant, 19, Seattle said yesterday. Grant's companion, Paul Brlkoff, 30, was killed In the storm that struck Just after they reached the summit 'Of the 8,470-foot peak Sunday. Orant spent three days on the mountain waiting rescue. He was removed by a Coast Guard hell copter yesterday and brought to Seattle. Orant said the first bolt knocked them both to the ground, and after the second bolt he found he could move only one leg. "The third bolt was the worst," he oald. "It took me up and tossed me over a 20-foot cliff and knocked me out." Orant said when he regained con sciousness he could hear Brikoff screaming on tho summit. There were two more bolts, he said, and the fifth scored a direct hit on Biikoff's back. When Orant reached Brlkoff's side he found him dead. Orant said heat from the light ning was so great It melted cans in the pack on his pack. Hospital attendants here said the youth suffered second and ' third degree burns.

And the states are the dikes which we can build more strongly against the Hood waters sweeping toward the District of Columbia." Stevenson gave his views in a speech prepared for delivery at a Democratic rally at the Illinois State Fair in Introducing the main speaker of the day Vice-President Alben Barkley of Kentucky. Stevenson gave his philos ophy on government, defended his record as governor of Illinois, ripped Into his Republican critics, turned some of his criticism against former President Herbert Hoover, and also poked some ssr cssm at GOP presidential nom inee Dwlght D. Eisenhower. He packed this wide swinging ar ray of topics into about 2.000 words which he had written and polished for the past two days up until mid-morning. Stevenson gave the hard core of his speech in a few paragraphs in which he listed with pride the achievements of his administration in Illinois and then went on to say: ' "It has been said that perhaps no state in our time has done so much so quickly. I don't know whether you call it a 'New Deal' for Illinois, or a 'Fair Deal' or a 'Square Deal' but I know It has been a 'No Deal' state government. "It is Important because the states are important. We talk about and deplore Incessantly the increasing centralization of power over our lives in Washington. "But that tidal drift toward the capital will go on and on unless those necessary functions of gov ernment which don't have to be performed in Washington are per formed, and properly performed at the state or local level." "The people will demand the services and if thev don't get them at nome tney will turn to Uncle Sam. And every dollar you send to Washington to pay for them will shrink, before it gets back nome. "Because our enemies are big. because business and labor and agriculture are big. because every thing is big and organized nowa days, our federal government has inevitably become bigger too. "But It should be unencumbered in the discharge of its monstrous major duties bv a lot of other Jobs it need not'-do. ' "And the states are the dikes which we can build more strongly against the flood waters sweeping toward the District of Columbia." Then Stevenson added ns an aside to his previous reluctance to be come a presidential candidate: 'While I ' want vou to sween me down there, don't sweep any more government Jurisdiction down there! Sometimes one must over come a feeling of reluctance about changing lobs. But the reluotance I feel about bigger and bigger lobs for the fed eral government is a reluctance I won't get over." Stevenson appeared to be com paring his ewn ability ns an ad ministrator to thnt of Elsenhower when he said: "It Is easy enough to have bright Ideas about the art of civil government in the ab stract; but you never really can understand government until you are confronted with the concrete pressures- und the day to day operating responsibilities . Pmdkted )i Police Study Strange Case State . Police Investigating what was reported to be a killing up in the Lapine area have come up with the culprit out lost ine victim.

Telephone Sill No. 2896 Arnall Says Costs Will Mark Record WASHINGTON I Price Sta bilizer Ellis Arnall Thursday stuck to his prediction that the country is in for another round of price Increases that will send living costs zooming to a new high this fall. The nation's price chief, who plans to quit Sept. 1 told a report er all the signs point to incKasing inflation in the next three months or so. Arnall's fellows in price policy making, Secretary of Commerce 8awyer and Economic Stabilizer Roger L. Putnam, have discount ed the likelihood of any big push in prices. PRICE BOOST But Arnall said he believes the steel price boost and rising wages in other industries will provide the spark to set off price increases. "I still stick to my prediction that living costs of every family will go up at least (100 a year as a result of the price boost for steel," Arnall said. I feel that Is a conservative fig ure because of other factors in volved. Time alone is going to prove that figure correct."

Eisenhower Says Offer Is "Unwise" DENVER Wl Gen. Dwlght D. Elsenhower, the OOP presidential nominee, Wednesday rejected an In vitation from President Truman to go to Washington for a confidential Drienng on tne international sit uation. The general sent a telegram to the President saying "It is my duty to remain Iree" to analyze Truman administration policies publicly. and that it would be "unwise and result In confusion In the public mind" If he accepted the bid. Gov. Adlal Stevenson of Illinois. the Democratic candidate for the presidency, was given a briefing on internatlonol affairs at the White House Tuesday. He met with Truman and his cab inet, and with defense and Intel ligence officials. CRITICIZED The same day Eisenhower sharp ly criticized the move. He said it signified "the present administra tion Is determined to nail down through its hand-picked successors every detail of the doctrines and policies that have brought us to the present situation of bewilderment. Indecision snd fear for the future." in bis telegram to Truman. Eis enhower said: As vou know, the nroblems which you suggest for discussion are those with which I have lived for many years. In spite of this, I would instantly change this de cision (not to accept the President's invitation) m the event there should arise a grave national emergency. inere is nothing in your mes sage to Indicate that this Is pres ently the case." In Washington, Truman s press secretary, Joseph Short, told re porters "the emergency question wss never considered. It never en tered Into the Invitation at all." INVITATION Short said the invitation to Eis enhower was sent to the general Wednesday, but that It was "in the works" before Stevenson's confer ence with Truman at the White House Tuesday. In response to another question. Short said Truman would not com ment on Eisenhower's decision at this time. Truman has a news conference scheduled for 3 D.m., (EST) Thurs day. Short said both Stevenson and Elsenhower will receive weekly re ports on the international situation irom the Central Intelligence Agency. Truman Included the offer of these -reports in- his .-telegram Wednesday to Eisenhower and the general accepted that offer. UNDERSTOOD But Elsenhower said he. wanted it understood that except In eases where U.S. security is involved. possession of these renorts will in no way limit my freedom to dis cuss or analyze foreign programs as my Judgment dictates." Release of the Eisenhower tele gram to Truman confirmed a top Democratic official's statement to a Washington reporter Wednesday that the administration Is willing to keep the general abreast of inter national developments while he campaigns for the presidency. The official, who asked not to be named, said Eisenhower probably already had been told that and he had. Short said the weekly reports will be delivered by White House cour iers and will include "briefs" from Walter Bedell Smith, head of the Central Intelligence Agency: Secre, tary of State Acheson, "and the other people consigned with the in ternational and defense situations."
