9 Freckled Boy Admits Slaying Little Girl HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Fall. Oregon Friday. October 6, 1961 PAGE S-A o- They'll Do It Every Time t By Jimmy Hatlo ELMHURST, III. UPI) - A freckle-laced 13-year-old boy tear fully admitted Thursday night he raped and killed little Yvonne Elliott. 7, in a swamp near this Chicago suburb. Steven Schloneger. a blond. 115 pound seventh grader, confessed to Da Page County sheriff's dep uties after two hours of question ing. The boy repeated his admis sions in front of his mother, Mrs. Helen June Pivonka, and step father, Edward Pivonka, but de clined to sign the 20-page state ment to authorities. Pistol Push Kills Reds SAIGON, South Viet Nam (API Provincial guardsmen, in a bay onet and pistol assault, have killed 46 members of a Commu nist battalion southwest of Saigon in the swampy Mekong Delta, the government announced today. The battle, Wednesday, was the latest in a series and brought the total in Viet Cong reported killed in the past 10 days to above 230. It seemed another indication that while there was concern about the threat from the Laotian border to the north most of the actual fighting is still in the delta region. The communique said civil guardsmen and militiamen, not regular army forces, fought in the latest battle in Men Hoa Prov ince, about 60 miles southwest of Saigon. Government losses were listed at three killed. The boy was held as a delin quent at the county jail in Whea ton today. State's Attorney Wil liam Bauer said he would file a murder warrant against the youth in county court Monday. Yvonne, a pretty blonde third grader, was found Wednesday night by her father, Edward, 27, in a flashlight search of the swampy area about four blocks from the Elliott home. The nude body lay face down in a pond of stagnant water. The little girl's hands were bound behind her back with a ragged towel. A mechanic's cloth was stuffed in her mouth as a gag. Coroner Dr. Samuel K. Lewis said the girl had been raped. He listed the cause of death as a combination of suffocation and drowning. Information supplied by Steve Fisher, 7, a playmate of Yvonne, helped lead to the arrest. Young Fisher said he was walking with the girl past the Schloneger home, about three blocks from the El liott residence, when young Schloneger approached them and asked Yvonne her name. The Fisher boy said Schloneger then asked him if he wished to accompany the older youth and Yvonne "into the weeds." The Fisher boy then left. In his statement, Steven said he led the girl "into the weeds" and asked her to disrobe. She started to cry. He said he began "pok ing her with a stick." He bound her hands and gagged her and then pushed her head in the wa ter, he said, and when she stopped struggling he took her clothes off and raped her. Police said the youth "slept like a baby" after the confession. BlSOOME PUT HIS FOOT DOWN-HIS OUTFIT WASN'T THROWING ANV CON VENTION PARTIES.' NONE AT ALL 7 irsszzTSL .?

IAPI - proposal for settlement of a strike at International Paper Co.'s Gardiner plant was made by the firm Thursday a union official said. Don Farrier, business agent of the Lumber and Sawmill Workers Union local, said the local would vote on the proposal Sunday. The strike started Wednesday when an employe was fired after he went hunting. Farrier said about a dozen men asked the company for time off to go hunt ing, and only one man's request was denied. " He went anyway, and was fired when he returned. Farrier said the union would picket the Gardiner plant until the proposal had been voted on. Earlier, Farrier had announced that the union would picket In ternational Paper plants in Che latchie.

Portland Suspends Agent In Probe Of Shortages PORTLAND (AP) - Portland1 city officials suspended the city purchasing agent Thursday and ordered an audit of the Purchas- ing Bureau after a shortage was! reported in receipts from the said Leonard W. Rayncr, 62, the purchasing agent, was suspended pending the results of the inves tigation to determine how much, if any, shortage there was. City Commissioner of Finance Ormond R.

Other members of the council said they would have no comment until the investigation was com plcfed. Bean said no definite amount had been determined for the short age. He said Rayner told him he had no idea how the shortage came about and that he "just didn't know how it could have happened." Range Land Cash Ready WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Orc., said Thurs day $562,000 has been alocated by the Interior Department for res toration of burned-over federal range land in Oregon. Congress appropriated $1.25 million for Western range land damaged by fire. Oregon's share was a little less than half of the amount. Morse said:"The allocation of, substantial funds for prompt use in restoring productivity of range lands which were burned during the extremely serious fires of this summer is good news tor the state of Oregon and for those in Oregon who use the Bureau of Land Management grazing lands." Berserk Man Stabs Three Constitution Aide Picked SALEM (API - Forrest W. Amsden, former executive editor of the Coos Bay World, was named executive secretary of the Oregon constitutional revision commission Thursday. Amsden, 35, will go to work for the commission Tuesday, Rep. George Layman, R-Newbbrg. commission chairman, said. Amsden, who has a wife and two children, was graduated from the University of Colorado in 1949. He worked on Colorado and Nebraska newspapers, including the Denver Post. He came to Coos Bay as news editor in 1955, becoming manag ing editor in 1957 and later exec utive editor, in 1959-60 he was in Washington. D. C. under an American Political Science As sociation Fellowship. At that time he worked on the staff of Sen. Estes Kefauver, D-Tenn. Amsden will be paid $10,000 a year by the commission, which was created by the last legisla ture to draft a revision of the Oregon Constitution. Western reaction was one of shock and concern over the agen cy's future. The U. S. quickly pro claimed its readiness to continue cooperation with the Soviets in IAEA. Soviet withdrawal from the agency would also probably lead to an exodus of the Soviet sat ellite nations, informed sources said. The Soviets and their allies thus far have played an insignificant role in the agency's technical aid to underdeveloped countries com pared to achievements of the United States and other Western powers. The Soviets are paying 14 per cent of the agency s budget while the United States foots near ly one-third of the bill. Thus, observers say, a Soviet walkout would give African and Asian countries impressions that the Soviets were out to torpedo an organization from which un derdeveloped nations have re ceived generous treatment. brary.

So, it would seem almost cer tain at this point that McCor mack. a Bostonian. would follow the traditional upward path and ascend to the speaker s chair when Congress convenes Jan. 10 for the second half of its current session. McCormack, 69, is already sneaker pro tern by formal vote of the House. He was elected late last month when Rayburn was forced by illness to return to his home at Bonham. Tex. Rayburn is gravely ill with cancer and aides say his days may be sharp ly limited. No predictions of harmony and order would be valid beyond the next session, however.

The State Board of Control is not legally obliged to pay the prevailing wage rates to construe, tion works because it is not a private contractor, Nilsen told the Kennedy Club of Sclam. 1 "However," Nilsen said, "I feel that the State Board of Control might voluntarily accept the same obligations that state law requires of private contractors on public projects to pay decent wages to workers in the private labor market."

Fellon of Marion County told a subcommittee studying the divorce problem many persons in divorce court actually would like help to save their marriages, but the only marriage counseling service in the state is in Portland The provision in state law that divorced persons must wait six months after receiving a divorce decree before remarrying is farce, Felton said.
