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,

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

Cartel Said
Controlling
World Fuel
WASHINGTON WI President
Truman has ordered the lid off a
long-secret report on international
oil deals amid new charges that a
rich and powerful oil cartel is
siphoning U. S. foreign aid funds.
The report, which may have
diplomatic repercussions abroad,
promptly became fuel for a fed
eral grand jury which will open
next month an Investigation of al
leged price fixing and monopoly
practices In the oil industry.
Decision 10 mi tne oinciat secret
label from the report, a year after
it was written by Federal Trade
Commission staff experts, was an
nounced yesterday oy sen. Jonn
Sparkman of Alabama, the Demo
cratic nominee for vice president.
COMMITTEE
Sparkman spoke as head of the
Senate small business subcommit
tee, and as the man whose public
demand for the information pre
sumably resulted In the presiden
tial order. The Alabaman said his
subcommittee would make an In
vestigation of its own before pass
ing judgment on the FTC findings.
Sparkman said the 10-chapter re
port is being printed now by his
subcommittee and "probably will
be available for distribution by the
end of this week."
The state department has ack
nowledged that It had the document
classified as secret for security
reasons and lest its contests fur
ther Inflame relations between
British oil interests and the gov
ernment of Iran.
"It Is my opinion that Its release
at this time is not likely to jeop
ardize our national security or un
dermine the aims of our foreign
uoircy, oparaman sam in a pre.
pared statement. "The security a&
pect of the matter has been
cleared with responsible agencies

FOLLOW-UP
In swift follow-up developments:
1. The Justice Department
moved to subpoena the report for
its recently ordered federal grand
jury Investigation of monopoly
charges against seven U. S. and
foreign oil companies.
2. Sen. Hennings (D-Mo) fired
new accusations of Intrigue at the
oil firms, charging they form a
cartel -and a "giant conspiracy"
profiteering against European na
tions which receive U. S. dollar
aid.

Chinese May

MOSCOW WB Red China's pre
mier and foreign minister. 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.
It seemed certain that the
groundwork on the agenda and the
general outline had been worked
out through regu.r diplomatic
channels before Chou left Peiping.
The talks may take about two
weeks. -
