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.

GARDINER, Ore. 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. Wash., Weed, Calif., and
Vaughan, Ore., but officials at
those plants said everything was
normal Thursday.

Bean said no definite amount

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."

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.

SALEM (AP - State Labor
Commissioner Norman O. Nilsen
said Thursday a decision to usel
prison labor to build state build
ings violates the spirit of a state
law requiring that prevailing
wage rates be paid by contrac
tors on public works projects.
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."
