Dr. George H. Adlcr. Klamath County coroner, reported after the autopsy Monday night that frag ments of a bullet were found im bedded in the victim's brain.

State police and sheriffs officers Joined forces in the hunt for the killer. One theory was ad"anced that Duffy may have been the vic tim of a revenge plot. He served a state prison term for the gun slaying of Josephine Jackson in 1933. It i! a possibility, according to investigators, that his murder might have been an act of reprisal. Officers fanned out over the area where the body was found in a search of clues. They turned up no new evidence. Discovery that Duffy had been shot came as a surprise. Dr. Ad ler said there was no outward signs that the ex-convlct had met death at the hands of a gunman. The body was badly decomposed and had been ravaged by rats and birds.

NEW YORK (SVice President Nixon claims a "magnificent rec ord" for the first three years of "what all of us hope will be etslu years of the Eisenhower admmis trailon." Nixon told the National Repub lican Club in a Lincoln Day speech last night: "Our Republican administration is now proving, for the first time in nearly 30 years, that we can have prosperity without war; full employment outside of uniform, and security with regimentation and controls.' ' Speaking at the club's 70th an nual Lincoln Day Dumer, he said the greatest advances in the na tion to end racial discrimination i "since the emancipation proclama-1 tion itself" have been made dur ing the Eisenhower administration. Nixon's speech contained barbs for three Democratic presidential nominee possibilities Adlni E. Stevenson, Sen. Estes Kefauvcr of Tennessee and Gov. Averell Harri man of New York. As he arrived here by plane from Washington late yesterday. Nixon denied he ever had called former President Harry S. Truman a "traitor," as Truman had com plained. 'I did not call Mr. Truman a traitor absolutely not." Nixon told newsmen. Nor did he call the Democratic party "the party of treason" or question the loyalty of any of its members, Nixon added. "I have always said that there is only one 'party for treason in the United States, and that is the Communist party." he said. "In all my public speeches and private talks I have always said that the loyalty of Truman, Ste venson and all the leaders of the Democratic party should not be questioned only their Judgment. The Atecr Hiss case speak.; for it self. Mr. Truman called it a red herring." Up until the airport interview. Nixon had kept silent public. y on the political controversy stirred up by Truman's recent accusations that Nixon called him a traitor m 1952 campaign talks "all over the West." Leaders of the Repub lican party had denied this. Nixon declined to speculate at his news conference on whether President Eisenhower will run again. He said, however, that "the optimism Is higher now than at any other time."
