K New Englander Blows Up; Fires Shot That Kills Chum WHITING, Maine UPI "Down Easters," as they call rural Maine folk, aren't much for small talk or show. A "yup" or a "nope" can answer most any question put to them by outsid ers. Down Easters aren't ones to display their emotion on their sleeves cither. But it's usually there, hidden beneath a leathery New England reserve. Albert Richardson was like that. Spare, slightly bent from years of digging clams and quahaugs 'chowder clams) where the At lantic Ocean rippled up to this northeastern Maine hamlet 10 miles from the Canadian border the 74-year-old Richardson wasn't a talkative person.

Ackley died eight days ago after a brief illness, Richardson said little at the time but he felt as though he had lost a part of his life. Richardson was waiting Tues day at Aekley's widow's house for her brother-in-law to take him clamdigging. The brother-in-law, Aubrey Ackley, 45, was late. Richardson began to fidgit. Then things seemed to press in on him Still no ride. Howard Ackley wouldn't have been so late, Rich ardson may have thought to him self. Finally, Aubrey appeared, but by then it was too late. Normally quiet Albert Richardson was blind with rage. He grabbed a .45 can bcr automatic pistol and a 30-30 ride and started shooting. Richardson had been very up set since Howard Ackley died said Sheriff Raymond J. Tracey later. "When Aubrey failed to pick him up at the time he prom ised, the old man just blew up...' A few minutes later, Mrs. Eu nice Ackley, 52, and Aubrey Ack ley lay dead from Richardson's barrage. A few yards away in a woodshed, was Richardson's body with a self-inflicted rifle shot in his head. Bank Teller Called Thief former Senator Dies In Home SEATTLE, Wash.

The prostitutes, Kim Soon Ac 38, and Kim Chong Ja, 22, also named Capt. John McEncry, Cheyenne, Wyo., as the man who actually shaved their heads. Mc- Enery is commander of the 7th Infantry Division Tank Company. "This is the man who cut our hair with a hair clipper and an electric razor," said the elder as they stared at a picture of the six-foot, two-inch 1958 West Point graduate. "We are absolutely certain." McEnery would make no com ment because the shaving incident is still under investigation by the Army. The Army announced earlier that the shaving had been done by First Sgt. Ora Curnuttc, 30, Chillicothe, Ohio, and Sgt. Harry Saunders, 37, Kansas City, Mo., under McEnery's orders. Military sources said the com pany commander had offered his men a three-day pass to Seoul for every prostitute they arrested in the company area. . Lt. Col. Paul G. Showronek, Utalion commander of Brown- wood, Tex., denied this but said such an order would be a "good idea" to keep prostitutes away from the camp.

The statement by the two pros titutes was the first indication that McEnery himself might have been involved in the incident Soon Ae said one of the soldiers who took them to the orderly room asked for a three-day pass and "ho replied 'you should bring more prostitutes before you can get pass'.

'The air was literally black with starlings Tuesday night," said Dr. J. Fred Essig, superin tendent of schools. "We had a few before. Now we can count them in the thousands." Standke, who keeps his method secret, would say only:. "If you knew birds' habits like I do, you'd know they don't change buildings. They leave town." A COMPANY POLICY CAMBRIA, Va.

Their parents waited Labor Paper Plans Made PORTLAND (AP) Labor leaders say they are going ahead with plans for a new newspaper that would compete with the city's two struck dailies. Officials from 60 unions met to discuss the project, and articles of incorporation have been drawn up, James Marr, executive sec retary of the Oregon AFL-CIO, said Tuesday. Marr said the newspaper prob ably will be incorporated at $1,. 250,000. That, he said, should be sufficient to finance a 24-page daily with 140,000 circulation. The newspaper, Marr said, would be independent and "not another labor paper." By the end of the week, Marr said, he hoped to have firm com mitments on newsprint and print ing facilities. In addition, he said, a "prominent pioneer Portland family" had indicated it might lend financial support. Other labor leaders said their surveys had indicated overwhelm ing puDlic response to tne pro posal for a new newspaper here.

A trussed, mutiliated body found in a sack in Tangier posed a shocking question. Was it one of them? Today, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Mueller, of Oakland, N.J. grieve for their daughter, Barbara Helen, 19. The body was-identi-fied as hers, ending an adventure which cost her life. But it raised the hopes of Mr. and Mrs. Edward P. Benton, of Ogdensburg, N.Y. Their daughter. Harriet Elizabeth, 22, was last heard from in Casablanca. "It's sure a relief to know it wasn't Harriet," Benton said. Mrs. Benton thought of the Muel lers. "I'm terribly sorry for them," she said. "My wife is about to cry all the time," Mueller said. The wailing, worry and hoping had ended for the Muellers. But for the Bentons there still was the gnawing fear coupled with prayerful hope. Harriet Benton quit her job in a Boston advertising agency last summer and left for Europe with $1,000. In October she was at Gi braltar and wrote she was join ing the yacht "Raider" as a "first mate."
