The Brecks were booked on sus

freed on a writ Tuesday. Both
aides said it was all a misunder

Dr. Thomas Nelson and the
nurse had accused the actor and
his brother, George, 25, of attack

"Not so," said Dr. Quesnell
"First came the parthquake. Then
the mountain collapsed into the
canyon. And after that came a
wave of water. This wave is what

Dr. Quesnell, his wife, and two
Iricnds and their families Sam
Kuening of Lakewood, Calif., and
Ike Kuening of La Puente, Calif

Quesnell said. "And every year
there have been the same two
trailers in the same plfcce. They
wore there again this year, so
lose to the river they could fish
fiom their doors. And those two
trailers did not come out of the
canyon when we were evacuated
Wednesday. There undoubtedly
are many others buried with

Slay Warrant
To Be Issued
For Suspect
DOWN1EV1LLE, Calif. IUPD-
Authorities said today they will
issue a warrant for the arrest of
Larry Lord Motherwell on mur
der charges despite the fact they
consider it "pretty hopeless" to
determine the cause of a Wash
ington, D.C., widow's death.
The statement followed an in
vestigation of, the site where the
bones of Mrs. Pearl Putney, 72,
were tound sunday ay a woman
looking for pine cones.
In Sacramento, criminologist
Roger Greene said he will conduct
further tests to determine the
cause of Mrs. Putney's death
However, Greene was skeptical
because of the poor condition of
the bones, which were identified
from dental charts.
Sierra County Sheriff Dewey
Johnson said that although no
new findings were discovered
Wednesday, the circumstances of
the case warranted the arrest
The area in which the bones
were found is 90 miles from
Marysville, Calif., where Mrs
Putney was last seen leaving a
hotel with Mgtherwcll a year ago.
Motherwell, 42, once suspected,
but cleared, of killing hi; men
tally retarded infant daughter;
told police in Las Vegas Jan. 18
that he drove Mrs. Putney from
Marysville to Las Vegas, Aug. 16,
1958. and left her there to marry
another man. He said he never
saw her again. 1
It was believed that Mrs. Put'
ney had close to $20,000 in cash
and $30,000 in securities when she
disappeared a year ago on an
auto trip with Motherwell. .
Police conducted a nationwide
million people without power for
13 hours was not completely clear.
Peak loads caused by swelter'
ing weather and the increased use
of cooling devices, burned out the
cables. That was the power com
pany's first explanation. An of fi
cial of the company Consolidated
t'dison said later, however, that
a dozen other things, such as rats
gnawing on the cables, might have
been involved.
City and state agencies began I
investigations 10 Determine ine
exact cause and lake measures
as.ain.st any recurrence.
But one thing was clear. From
the millionaires on the fashionable
East Side to the slum dwellers on
the upper West Side, the people
in the stricken area refused to
panic.
When night come Monday, po
lice became alarmed at the pos
sibilities for panic and violence
among the shadowy streets and
lightless buildings.
The area was saturated with po
lice and detectives, but no disor
ders were reported.
The blacked-out area stretched
51 blocks along the West Side, and
30 blocks along the East Side. It
reached a mile and a half wide,
from the Hudson to the East
River.
Police Commissioner Stephen P.
Kennedy said the police helped to
prevent trouble, "but the main
reason why the unlighted streets
were not turned into a dark and
steaming jungle was the reaction
of the community." s
"The people of the area faced a
difficult challenge and rose above
it," he said. "In the vast ma'jori
ty of cases the emergency was
faced with a spirit of understand
ing and cooperation. In an area
with a serious crime problem, the
rate of crime actually decreased
radically.
"It is indeed ironical," he
added, "that it took a major crisis
such as this to bring out the best
instincts of the community. In the
dark all men were the same
color."
WIFE SHOT AS PROWLER
BELZONI. Miss., (UPI) - A
husband who mistook his wife for
a prowler killed her in their home
Monday night, police said. Of
ficers said Sidney Cobb had gone
to bed early and was awakened
when his .wife slammed the door
after bringing' some laundry in
from the yard. Cobb grabbed a
gun and shot her, police said.

Demo Chiefs Nurse Bruises
After House Floor Battle
WASHINGTON (UPI) Demo- it merely would replace cash sales
cratic farm leaders nursed bruis
es today from the worst, drubbing
they have ever taken on the House
floor in a fight with Secretary of
Agriculture Ezra T. Benson.
The cloakroom buzzed with spec
ulation that some pro-labor North-
cm Democrats who sided with
Benson did so in retaliation
against votes cast by the Demo
cratic farm leaders last week on
labor reform legislation.
For whatever reason, the House
Wednesday rejected by a 143-52
standing vote the recommendation
of its Agriculture Committee that
Benson be forced to barter $350,-
000,000 worth of farm surpluses
for foreign minerals.
The unsuccessful fight to ex
pand bartering was led by com
mittee chairman Harold D. Cool
ey (D-N C.) and Rep. W. R.
Poage (D-Tex.), the committee's
second-ranking Democrat.
Both Cooley-and Poage were
Democrats who helped Republi
cans push through the House the
Administration-backed , labor re
form bill denounced as "vicious"
by the AFL-CIO. I "
Republicans voted ' solidly
Wednesday against the mandatory
step-up in bartering, arguing that
