Prisoner Confesses To Murders SA.V LUIS OBISPO, Calif. I L'PI1 Sheriff's deputies today planned to have a prison inmate lead them to the body of one of three persons he confessed killing, two of them near Eureka, Calif. Gayle Patrick Irish, 46, an in mate at California Men's Colony, said Thursday he had murdered three persons, but colony Sunt John H. Klingor said no final evaluation of the truth of Irish's story had been made. However, Eureka authorities said they were satisfied Irish had unpublished information relative to the deaths of Red Baird and Barbara Kelley 13 years ago Miss Kelley's body was never found. Irish is serving a term for sex perversion. The Eureka detectives returned to Northern California to obtain a court order so Irish could be taken there. He told tliem he could lead them In the woman's body. Irish also said he had killed a man near Marysvillo, Calif., in 1957. But the Yuba County sher iff said the inmate was unable to give clear information or name the victim. Humboldt County Sheriff Wil liam Pedcrson said Baird's body was found stripped at Talbe Blufl Beach about six miles south of Eureka in May, 1930. Miss Kelley, about 20, was a waitress in a Fortuna, Calif restaurant at the time she dis appeared. No trace of her was ever found.

In his president's message, Lar son recalled the struggle to or ganize the utility. In the early stages an effort was made to at tach the area to Central Electric, headquartered in Redmond. Organized efforts to establish a separate cooperative were head ed by D. D. Slolberg, who had purchased the LaPine Hiway Cen ter. With it went the "thorn in the flesh," a 15,000-watt power plan! vhich . supplied lights only to the LaPine community. Fred Hartt of Seattle, former ly with REA, also recapped the utility's progress in getting whole sale power, competent employes, establishing headquarters, and in providing area coverage. He recalled making the feasi bility studies in- the Fort Rock area with Bill Hauck, also present for the meeting. They had dif ficulty, he said, in sharing the confidence of Midstate's manager and board of directors when ranchers sought electric power lor pump irrigation. The lines were extended to serve the North Lake County area in 1955. Both retiring board members served at that time, Parks with a nine year record, and Taylor, eight years.

Asserting that he hopes the amendment can he effective in the 14 presidential elections. Kennedy said that "as of today. 24 state legislatures have ratified the proposed amendment by virt ually unanimous action." "Because very few state legis latures will meet in 1W4," he added, "action by individual states now is essential if the pro posed amendment is to be ef fective during the HM elections." The proposed 24th Amendment would prohibit payment of poll taxes ns a condition for voting in federal elections and primaries. Passed by Congress last session, it requires ralilication by the leg islatures ol 38 states three fourths of the total.
