Many Issues

At Session
WASHINGTON (AP)-The sec
end session of the Democratic-
'controlled 86th Congress, starting
today; has a lot of issues to face.
" Here are some of the main ones
, CIVIL RIGHTS Likely to churn
'up longest, bitterest battle of elec
tion-year session. Key proposals
Involve Negro voting rights an
school integration. Northern and
Southern Democrats sharply split
Showdown in Senate due in mid
February.
" SCHOOL AID Democrats push
Ing for far bigger federal outlays
for school construction than ad
niinistraiion has asked. Bill on
Senate calendar would appropriate
500 million dollars a year for two
years on matching basis.
, MINIMUM WAGE - Efforts to
boost minimum wage from $1 to
$1.25 an hour face administration
opposition. So do proposals for
greatly broadened coverage of
workers. Administration can count
n support of some Southern Dem-
crats.

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.
He had led a lonely, solitary
life. He had few close friends
One of them was Howard Ack-
ley, with whom he had boarded
for seven years. 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.

Prostitutes
Plan To Sue
U.S. Army
TONGDUCHON, Korea (UPD-
Two Korean prostitutes said today
they would sue the U.S. Army for
$20,000 because American soldiers
shaved their heads when they
were Caught soliciting in a dark
ened Army quonset hut.
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 military has
begun a campaign to lower vene
real disease rate at Camp Beaver
on the west central front.
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'. '

Recorders
Purchased
WASHINGTON (UPI) The
Senate Constitutional Rights Sub
committee reported today that
eight different federal offices
bought 17 miniature wire record
ers during the past six months.
Sen. Thomas C. Hennings Jr.
(D-Mo.), subcommittee chairman,
said no conclusions have been
drawn that the "mere possession
of a miniature recording device
necessarily sinister or even
improper.
But Hennings said the subcom
mittee went after the information
because it wants to "reach a bet
ter understanding of the present
day use of wiretapping and elec
tronic eavesdropping devices.
Hennings said the subcommittee
found in a preliminary inquiry
that federal agencies bought $141
136 worth of one type of small
recording devices in fiscal years
1957-58-59. In the last six months
alone, he said, federal offices paid
$37,270 for the 17 recorders bought
during that period.
The subcommittee said in the
past half year one recorder was
purchased for the Internal Reve
nue Service here, one for the U.S
naval security station here, two
for the national institutes of
health at Betliesda, Md., seven
for Ft. Holabird at Baltimore,
Md., one for the Internal Revenue
Service at Cleveland, Ohio, three
for the signal supply officer at
Decatur, 111., one for the Veterans
Administration Hospital at Phoe
nix, and one for the Diamond
Ordnance Fuse Laboratories here.

Bird Expert
Denies Blast
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) -
Officials of the Ydungstown Board
of Education and Youngstown Uni
versity complain they are getting
the birds that Otto Standke, the
Kansas bird expert, is chasing out
of old haunts in downtown Youngs
town.
Standke, who started his war on
starlings last Saturday, says
he scared the birds off the Mahon
ing courthouse but denies these
are the birds that are flocking
to buildings on the northern edge
of the downtown district.
'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."

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.
The city's two dailies, the Ore-
gonian and Oregon Journal, were
struck by the Stereotypers Union
Nov. 10 but have continued to
publish, using supervisory and
non-union help to put out a joint
edition.
without word for week after week,
hoping for word of their daugh
ters. 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."
Her last card from Casablanca
said her next address would be
the Canary Island Yacht Club
where she had to leave the "Raid
er. She wrote she would just
try to hitchhike another ride."
She has not been heard from
for 2'A months.
