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.

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.

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.

Hope For Lost
Trooper Rises
ELLENSBURG. Wash.. IUP1
A band of 15 skiers pushed today
toward a 6700-foot peak where a
campfire spotted by a pilot kin
dled hope a paratrooper lost for
five days in rugged mountain
country might still be alive.
Sgt. J. H. Horan, Maynard.
Mass., a paratrooper trained in
survival, bailed out of a spinning
Air Force C45 Sunday while en
route to Seattle for a Christmas
reunion with his Japanese wife
and their three children.
Ron Lindh. a ranger at the Cle
Elum ranger station, said the
blaze definitely was a small camp
fire. "There is no reason for any
hunters or loggers to be in there,"
he said. "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. Tempera
tures have been below freezing in
the area and from 4 to 6 feet of
snow Is on the ground.
The fire was reported by Capt.
Bert Paqua, Seattle, who spotted
(he blaze on Mission Peak on a
ridge near the Columbia River
Tuesday while flying towards
Seattle.
Horan's wife. Teruko. and their
three children, Kenneth. 5. Mi
chael, 1, and Lorraine, 3 months,
arrived from the Orient Tuesday

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.

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.

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.
