WVWW&Egi J mm) Crater Case Month Old; Killers Remain Unknown By WALLACE MYERS One month ago this afternoon two prominent business men were obbed and murdered in Crater Lake National Park and the killer Is still unknown. Victims were C. P. Culhane, De troit, Mich., and A. M. Jones, Con cord, Cnllf. Culhane was general sales manager for United Motors Service, a General Motors subsid iary, and Jones was manager of the firm's Berkeley sone. The two men left here after lunch on July 19 to go to a fishing cabin on Union Creek. Their route was through the Southwest corner of Crater Lake Park, , . Traveling In Jones' car, the two men entered Crater Lake Park at the South gate a little after 1 p.m. Frnnk Eberleln and Jack Vaughn, of Klnmnth Falls, who were to Join Culhano and Jones at the Union Creek cabin, drove through the South gnle about an hour later. Some three miles beyond the South gate Eberleln and Vaughn noticed Jones' car abandoned beside the road. . . . ; When Culhane and Jones had not appeared after about an hour's wait, Eberleln and Vnughn notified park rnngcrs and Chief Ranger Lou Hallock immediately Instituted . a search. Thnt was on Snturdny. Mon day afternoon, Culhnne and Jones' bodies were found by a search par ty. The two men hnd been taken about one quarter of a mile buck in the dense, forest near the spot their car was found. They had been brutally gagged and, murdered, FALLS, OKEGON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 19, 1952 mm T ft fe each with a single .32 bullet fired into the head. Because the crime occurred on federal land, the FBI took over. Within a few hours, a sizable squad of government agents were here working on the case. The investi gation has continued without letup ever since. Literally hundreds of leads have been checked and sev eral possible suspects have been questioned. But as yet, no one has been taken into custody by the fed eral men. However, the painstaking and widespread probe has greatly nar rowed the list of possibilities and the FBI men appear confident they will eventually pick up the killer's troll, The case is cxtemely difficult for several reasons. First, the killer hod some 48 hours getaway time before the crime was discovered. And the killer was one of hundreds of persons In the area at the time of the murders. Many of these per sons were tourists and locating them through the meager park rec ords, has been and continues to be a tremendous' task for the FBI men. Further complicating the lnvesti gatlon Is the fact that the nctunl motive Is not certain. Although rob bery Is a very likely motive, since currency was missing from both bodies, the government men arc not overlooking the fact that the killer mny have hnd another mo tive and took the currency primar ily to throw Investigators off the track, . . , 1 r - iiMj STOCK for the 17th Annual Rotary Junior Livestock Show is being primped and primed all over the Baiin this week.

Chou En-Lal, may see Prime Minister Stalin before many days of the present top-level talks between tha two big Communist nations. ' Premier Chou called on Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Vishlnsky Monday night. The talks involve a number of specific issues concerning the eco nomic, political and military rela tions of the two countries. -They also are expected to cover the Far Eastern situation, with special em- pnasis on japan. Western observers said Stalin probably would be taking a direct and personal interest in the prog ress ot me talks ana so an invita tion for Chou to call at the Kremlin would not be surprising. Three politburo members V. M. Molotov. A. I. Mikoyan and N. A. Bulganin were among the official welcoming party. Even long-term foreign residents here cannot remember a previous time when there was such a distin guished turnout to greet a foreign guest. provision ior tnese touts was made in the 30-year treaty signed between the two countries Feb. 14, 1950.
