THURSDAY, DECEMBER 22. 1955 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE SEVEN Man Tells Of Slaying Young Wife LINCOLN, Neb. W A young husband's signed story that he strangled his wife because she re iused his advances and then set a rape scene to throw authorities off his trail has solved the slaying of 32-year-old Mrs. Nancy fcarkeD of Lincoln. Details of the confession by Lin coln City Forester Darrel F. Park er were announced early today by Lancaster County Atty. Elmer Scheele. Mrs. Parker's partially clad body was found in a bed at her home here Dec. 14. She had been strangled with twine, gagged and trussed. Her 24-year-old husband had told authorities she was alive when he went to work in the morning and that he found her dead when he went home for lunch at noon after decorating a State Capitol rotunda Christmas tree. Parker signed a confession in which he admitted that after breakfast, when she refused his advances, he knocked Nancy un conscious, then strangled her with cord. Scheele related. "Then Parker tried to set the scene to make it appear she had been raped. He removed her Jeans and underthings and tore her sweatshirt off and stuffed handker chiefs into her mouth. "Then he tied her hands behind her back, covered her up and put a pillow on her head before leav ing for work," Scheele states. Parker had attended his wife's funeral in Des Moines Saturday. He was summoned back to Lincoln from Des Moines, where he had been staying with his slain wife's parents. Both Iowa Slate College gradu ates, Mr. and Mrs. Parker had been married less than two years alter a college courtship. Parker, traveling alone, arrived In Lincoln about noon yesterday. He was questioned several hours, was given a fie detector test by criminologist John E. Reid of Chi cago, who had Just arrived as con sultant in the case, and then confessed. Mrs. Robert Morrison, mother of Nancy, said in Des Moines that Parker helped her write thank you notes for condolences before leav ing for Lincoln. rf" Poets Corner LOOK TO THIS DAT Within our hearts, this Christmas day There's ft wisp of a song, a round' de-lay: A childish sigh, song of Silent Night, While there in the East is a Holy Light. A sleiah, a coin and a tinkle of bell, t A shout Hil Ho! and a fare-you- well. Candles in windows, holly on doors. Home over high hills and down through the moors Cards and ribbon and paper thin, Biscuits, cranDerries and warmth within. . Welcome and hand clasps, forgive ness, a smile An onen latch, a word worth while. A Christmas prayer of a plea re newed: Peace, Good will Toward Men. Edith Bellamy Browning "LORD OF ALL" I saw the Christmas star in the sky. Shining bright and clear. The Angels were singing way up high. "Come everyone! Come herel" The Lord of all was born that day, By an Inn in a manger far away: Walk or ride, God Is by your side, any way you come; You may be strong, weak, deaf or dumb. The Lord will accept you; He will neip you. The Lord will always do what He: . can. ' 1 Either sinner or saint, He makes! no complaint. Because our Lord understands. .loan Joy Freltag! Malin, Ore. CliriKiiiiaK Meditations The heavenly hosts sang. "Peace on Earth", Proclaiming to all. the Savior's birth. Gold and myrrh, the wise men brought to lay at the feet of the Child, they sought. The eastern sky was light as day. And shepherds came where "the Christ Child lay. Leaving their flocks of snowy white, They followed the Star that shown so bright, "No room in the Inn." the keeper said. "You will find the child where the cattle fed." Mary's travail they knew In part But none of the things she kept in her heart. Let us worship the Christ, and silently pray For a definite task, a starlit way. As the wise men found the manger bed. May we to some humble place be led. And gladly our gifts to the Savior bring. When we do for his children, we honor the King. tiKOSS N.

"This is the most hopeful sign we've had yet. If he's got a fire, we're hopeful he'll be waiting right there." Lindh said the bonfire was not too far from the Puget Sound Power and Light Co. power line. He said the area would not be too hard to find. Horan was dressed only in a field Jacket, paratrooper boots and regulation Army uniform when he balled out. The plane later righted Itself and landed snieiy.

Rebels Stage Paraguay Riots FORMOSA, Argentina (UP) Re ports from nearby Paraguay today said rebels support sd by troops and police are battling forces loyal to President Altredo stroessner, who seized power U months ago. Telephone services with Asun cion, the Paraguayan capital, has been interrupted since Tuesday night, when the revolt began, and no Information about the progress of the uprising could be obtained Immediately. Unconfirmed reports said the re volt was led by Epifanio Mendez Fleltas, president of Paraguay's central bank, and supported by the garrison at Campo Grande, a big army base near Asuncion. Public Works Minister Marcial Sananlego, a major general who also commanded the Campo Grande garrison, Is said to be sup porting the revolt. Reports of fierce fighting in the streets of Asuncion were denied by tne newspaper El Dia, of Posadas, Argentina, which said police as well as troops are supporting the uprising. The revolt is said to have started when Stroessner ordered the arrest of Mendez who was closely asso ciated with the Argentine regime of ousted ex-President Juan D. Peron, on charges of plotting against the government. Recurrent unrest in Paraguay has been intensified recently by that country's agreement to re ceive Peron when he fled Into exile from Buenos Aires. As long ago as October, troops were patrolling the streets of Asuncion. $2,378.66; lot 21.

Rivers Flooded In California SAN FRANCISCO Oft-The heavl- est rain storms in northern Cali fornia In 15 years flooded rivers in all sections of tne noruiwest counties today, closed a dosen high ways, flooded parts of two com munities and cut off surface travel to the north coastal area. All coastal rivers, from the Rus sian River north to the Smith, were near flood stage or already out ot their banks. Northern Mendocino, Humboldt and Del Norte counties were iso lated when floods and slides blocked U.S. Highway 101 from Ukiah north, and shut off travel over Highway 299 running from Areata, north of Eureka, inland to Redding. Slides blocked the Red wood Highway from Oregon into Del Norte County and falling tim ber which broke power lines left Crescent City and most of the rest of the county without power. Both the main river and the middle and south forks of the Eel River were above flood stage. The Eel River Lodge near Garberville was evacuated last night as flood- waters lapped at the highway lead inc to it. Raging floodwaters forced the evacuation of some families at these points: near Ukiah, the Bull Creek area, the village of Orlck and the towns of Dunsmuir and Castella. Two homes ware washed away in the Bull Creek area. In the Mattole River Valley. The UnDer Klamath went over Its banks and closed U.S. Highway 99 Just north of Yreka.

Cut-Ups Raise Dance Money LANGELL VALLEY Mrs. Bob Brett's 4-H sewing club, the Lan gell Valloy Cut-Ups raised $68 at a dance given at the Lorena torn munitv Hall last Saturday eve ning. The money will be used for the annual Langell Valley Christ mas party to be held in tne nail i December 23. The girls prepared and sold the midnight supper at the dance in addition to admission cnarges to the dance. From the supper, they cleared $20 for their own fund which win be used lor a scran book and their different community projects. This year the girls made and gave a set of tea towels to .tne Bonanza li brary bazaar. They also bought material for a Santa Claus suit, 1 -V. lfT4 JAMES LUTTRELL lent in winning travelers off the highways to visit nearby scenic, historical, recreational and educa tional attractions. This tends to limit the spending of tourist dol lars to terminal cities: A practl cal solution of the problem would bring more tourist business into communities located off the high speed highways. Providing services for tourist and recreational travelers makes up the state's third largest Industry. Its Importance to the tax structure Is Indicated by the report of the Trav el and Information Division of the State Highway Department that out- ot-state tourists alone will nave paid an estimated M. 000, 000 In gasoline taxes during 1955. Luttrell and his wife Madalyn came here from Cordova, Alaska, where he was a professional guide and commercial fisherman. Wltn Paul D. Hackctt he purchased the Esplanade Court in February, 1955, and they are now in the process of completely remodeling and ren ovating the motel. As far as they know,. It is tne only motel In tne country which Is heated by na tural not water. Mr. and Mrs. Hackett left this week for Indiana to attend the first reunion of his family In more than 16 years.
