WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 10, 1955 HKRALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE NINETEEN Abbott Guilt Not Shown In Tests OAKLAND (UP)-Dr. Paul Kirk, famed University of California criminologist, says his laboratory tests have failed as yet to establish the guilt or Innocence of Burton W. Abbott. "I couldn't say my tests have yet pinned down the case one way or another," Kirk said yesterday. Kirk's statement was viewed as somewhat of a blow to the prose cution, which bad hoped that the tests would help prove their claim that Abbott kidnaped and murder ed 14-ycar-old Stephanie Bryan April 28. However. Kirk said the tests of soil and bits of material hp has been examining "may ye: be help- iui in providing Information. The tests are still going on. Meanwhile, Abbott's chief attor ney, Stanley D. Whitney, was in Trinity County seeking witnesses and other evidence that would help clear his client. So far, he ad mitted yesterday, he has not turned up enough such evidence "I am convinced Abbott is inno- cent," Whitney said. "What we have found in Trinity County, a- long with other evidence, indicates that. But if we found anything real ly conclusive, we'd walk right into the district attorney's office and tell the world about It. "Right now, we Just don't have II." Stephanie's body was found July , 20 near the remote Trinity County cabin owned by Abbott's brother-in-law. Abbott has admitted being at the cabin on the day Stephanie disappeared. However, he claims he was there within four hours af ter she vanished. The distance from Berkeley to the cabin is 300 miles.

Calif. (UP) I Sheriff's deputies turned to the sea todny iu their efforts to recover the body ot a Phoenix, Aria., doc tor from an almost inaccessible California beach. For the past four days all at tempts at recovery including by horseback and helicopter have been frustrated by the rugged ter rain of the area. Del Norte County Sheriff Har old Scott said he would try to take a skiff into the Isolated beach at low tide today in an effort to re cover the body, tentatively identi fied as that of Dr. Fred W. Holmes. Ex-Con Held in Murders COLUMBUS. Ohio (UP) Police held a 19-year-old ex-convict who confessed to the vicious hammer-knife- slayings of hit mother and stepfather, for further questioning today. The ex-convict, Robert Jacob Miller, was arrested yesterday at Cambridge, Ohio, where he had stopped at a service station for fuel and tire repairs. At the time of his arrest, he had four other youths with him whom officers identified as hitchhikers on their way back from the East Coast. Officers said Miller "went to pieces" during questioning and sobbed out the events that led to !nrt weekend's murder of his step father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Gomer Thomas. Miller told officers he became "violently angry" during an argu ment with his mother, Betty, 39, when she objected to one of his girl friends. He said he began striking her with bis fists. When his stepfather intervened Miller began hitting him, police reported. GUILTY SYRACUSE, N.Y. urV-Chief John Bigtree, whoso nose appears on the Indian-head nickel, pleaded guilty in police court yesterday to a charge of driving while intoxicat ed.

Holmes was one of four mem bers ot his family to be drowned in s fUhing accident on Sunday. Still missing are the bodies of his father, Dr. Fred O. Holmes, and his two sons, Fred Jr., 10, and Stephen, 8. An attempt to recover the body by helicopter failed yesterday when the 33-foot span of the craft's blades proved too wide for the narrow, cliff-surrounded inlet. Late yesterday a test tube was washed ashore near the body. It contained an unsigned note which read: "Boat is drifting toward shore three quarter miles north of Wilson Creek." The missing man's brother, Dr. Howard Holmes, said the handwriting was that of his brother. Meanwhile, the sheriff's office said It plans to continue its search for the three missing bodies. Hunt said the search was being con ducted by boat, beach patrols and a private plane whenever weather permits.

As one looks at the conquest of the southern Indian tribes by Span ish culture the question naturally arises can anything at all be said for the conquistadores? This group of adventurers were Indisputably vigorous and fearless; they were energetic explorers and great conquerors. This was so be cause for centuries before Colum bus reached the New World, war in the Old World had been the major occupation. The struggle to wrest Spain from the Moors inevit ably produced such a breed of men. Thus when they reached tht shores ot America, nothing stopped them neither heat, cold, precipitous slopes, Jungles, swamps, nor warlike opponents. With the conquistadores, how ever, can e the Catholio clergy, who sincerely considered the In dian worth being raised to the best level of Spanish culture and his soul worth saving. In all prob ability the great civilization ot the Incas might have been utterly ob literated had it not been for the church and so we find the strangest kind of comradeship ex isting between priest and cavalier in this extension of Mediterranean culture Into the New World one seeking to save, the other to de stroy. With the Spaniards came Uit European livestock, cattle, horses, asses, goats and sheep. Also there were the farm crops such as bar ley, wheat and sugar cane. The Spaniards Inaugurated many new farm practices and built cities, News Kill Probe To Be Undertaken Rv MARTHA COLE WASH1NOTON, Ifl-Just what kind of Information do govern ment agencies withhold from the public, the press, radio and TV and Congress and why? Do the agencies give out enough information to keep the public in formed of what goes on in Its government? A House Government Operations subcommittee set out today to de termine the answers. It was es tablished specifically to inquire into government Information policies. It sent out n'A Pages oi ques tions asking all federal executive and Independent agencies to ex plain bv Sent. 15 their practices and policies in giving out miorma tlon. Said Uie subcommittee chair man. Ren. Moss (D-cauii: "Through a cooperative effort wo can determine the baslo Infor mation policies of the federal agen cies and find out. once and for all, whether there is arbitrary ana capricious action because of a lack ot definite, consistent policies." In announcing the study last Juno 23, Chairman Dawson (D-IU) of the full Government Operations Committee said accusations had been made that government agen cies are withholding and suppress ing information. He did not identity the accusers. Criticism has been focused on a March 20 directive from Secretary of Defense Wilson saying that in formation from the Pentagon must be "constructive" to the mission of the Defense Department. A Pentagon spokesman said later the criteria was not meant to be Bp plied to newsmen's questions but only to Information originating in the department's public relations offices. The directive has been criticized by some professional newsmen's organizations. Tho House group had 80 ques tions on Its questionnaire, divided Into three general groupings of Information to the general public, to the press and to Congress.

Etna Observe- torv said the "scant force" of the prexnt activity makes It unlikely a major blowoif win develop. universities, and monaster ies. Moreover they trained the In dians in European art and archi tecture and the effort was made to blend the discordant Indian and Christian cultures into a harmoni ous balance in society, in art, in life. Although the mark waa ever, shot, still the effort was not whol ly without result. The people who were conquered tv the invading Mediterranean culture were themselves a well developed race though today we know but few things about them. Somewhere about A.D. 1100 a su perior people under the first Inca. Manco Capac, began to buliu a na tion in the cold altlplano of pres- eni-aay soutnwestern Peru ana what developed from this effort was to become one of the most ad vanced civilizations and empires in uie new world. As the Incas be gan to progress upon the road of civilization they emigrated from their bleak home base in the high Andean Sierras down Into the pleasant valley of Cuzco. uniy in the light of geographic environment can one appreciate uie true magnitude of the task of empire - building faced by these people. Theirs was Indeed a hard environment, consisting In tum bled ranges of mountains. The land as so high in altitude that even though It lay within the tropics It nau a severe climate. The cold as piercing and penetrating, and there was no fuel except llama dung, dried sod, and a moss-like plant called "yareta." Notwith standing, the Inca dynasty welded a host of tribes, having diverse languages and customs into a po litical and cultural unit of about lu.uoo.coo people. In the modern world one cannot help but con trast uie inca and the present dav Russian In the scope of their prob lems to build a unified nation out of a large group of divergent racx of men, the techniques have been quue similar in the spread of orth odoxy oy lorce and oppression. ine extent of this amazlnir Inc empire can be appreciated if it were to be superimposed along the Atlantic seaboard of the United States for comparison, it would ex- lenn irom Maine to Florida and from the Blude Ridge to the At lantic Ocean. Theoretically such a region would appear lit only for producing and maintaining a back ward, poverty-stricken people, but we uie, oy Displaying exception al abilities and through possessing a n "tn.Kn.n -.-.... i . - - buiius .ur gruwin ana organization." fashioned their en vironment into what became in many ways a model state. It has o e e n accurately and succinctly said that everything In th hirh. lands was Inferior except man AlllllSCll. The emnlra was idmlnWH from the top ot a "planned economy- under the direction f the Inca In a benevolent autoc racy a working Utopia so dreamed about by the- culture of the European who never was able to attain even a step towards their dream world ideal. Many a mod ern "planner" dreams of the Ideal government as developed by these Indians ot the New World, the per fect state ot bureauoraoy. The Incas became truly great agriculturists. Their civilisation, however, Js believed to have been based upon the potato, rather than upon the maize which was the staple agricultural product else where fn the high civilizations ol the New World. Much of the Inca homeland was too high for the suc cessful cultivation of maize but it was grown in areas that possessed less severe climatic conditions. Peru even ranks with Colombia and Central America as the possible original home of corn. Not only were these Amerindians credited with having domesticated from TO to 80 different bpecies of agricultural plants, but, with only crude hoes and planting sticks as farm tools, they developed a sci entific agrlcultura, which includ ed the preparation of the soil, ro tation of crops and fallowing, de struction of weeds, the use of fer-. tlllzcr, the torraclng of steep mountainsides, Irrigation of dry land, and tho development of sev eral varieties and strains of plants through selective breeding. The making of these contributions took much of both intelligence and time without the nld of ox, horse, or other power except that of human muscle.
