MUENSTER — A five-year-

here Sunday morning when he
fell from a second story storage

the garage at his home.
Police quoted Ohlson as say-

ficers to the spot and the trunks
were found.

of the garage. After she re-en-

Bam Is Heavily
Damaged by Fire
Fire of unknown origin heavi-

stock Auction Bam about 9:30
p. m. Sunday.
Owner Dick Cain, who was
out of town when the blaze was
reported by a neighbor, said a
preliminary estimate indicated
a loss ranging from $6,000 to
$12,000.
The entire southeast section
of the bam collapsed and other
parts of the building, the scales
and public address system were
badly damaged. The loss was
partially covered by insurance.
Firemen, who brought the
blaze under control in an hour,
said the fire may have started
from defective wiring.

Hennrich said $22,600 had

may have been burned in the
vault fire. In the vault, investi-
gators found a .22-caliber pistol,
partly melted by fire, from
which one shot had been fired.

a grinding two-car collision
near here Saturday that
claimed nine lives. Leslie Moas,

Killed at once were her fa-

Kenneth D. Chandler won the
Bendix Air Race yesterday with
a record speed performance—
but he almost ran out of fuel at
the end.
Piloting a Convair F102 inter-
ceptor, Air Force Capt. Chan-
dler averaged 679 miles an hour
in flying the 620 miles from
Chicago’s O’Hare Field to An-
drews Air Force Base in nearby
Maryland. Elapsed time of the
flight was 54 minutes 45% sec-
onds.
Chandler bested five other
Air Force pilots, all of whom
flew delta-wing F102s.
Chandler’s record was 13
miles an hour faster than the
former mark set last year by
Maj. Manuel (Pete) Fernandez.
Chandler, a 33-year-old Ko-
Carl E. Hennrich, agent in
charge of the FBI office here,
said VanArtsdalen went to the
bank Saturday night and re-
moved the money from a vault.
He then wrapped it in a package

Humphrey, often called the
"strong man” of the Eisenhow-
er cabinet, was understood to
have recommended Anderson as
his successor.
Humphrey, 67, is expected to
become board chairman of Na-

the government should not be
run by “doddering old men” be-
cause “there’s no future for the
Republican party in that.”
His successor has crammed
high honors and great respon-
sibilities into his shorter life.

A Gainesville man succeeded
in breaking into an Ardmore
bank early Saturday, but if he
had burglary in mind, he appar-
ently was just too tired to fin-
ish the job.
Ardmore officers found Lin-
don Johnson, 24, sound asleep

was held for questioning later.
Officer Jim Scannell said he
saw a broken front window at
the bank about 3:40 a m. He

bank cashier, who opened the
bank. The two found Johnson
asleep on the floor. A flash
bulb roused him.
Bank officials said no money
was missing and no attempt
had been made to open the

the Dixie forces, said he thinks
the vote on the jury trial issue
will be very close.
Senate Republican Leader
Knowland of California predict-
ed defeat for the jury trial
amendment.
The jury trial issue springs
from the authority the bill
would confer on the attorney
general to obtain federal court
injunctions against violations or
threatened violations of the
right to vote.
Under present law, defendants
in contempt of court cases
growing out of injunctions ob-
tained by the government are
not entitled to a jury trial.
An amendment offered by
Senators O’Mahoney (D-Wyo),
Kefauver (D-Tenn) and Church
(D-Idaho) would provide for
jury trials in all criminal con-
tempt cases— whether they in-
volve civil rights, labor disputes
or anything else and regardless
of whether the government is a
party to the proceedings.
Criminal contempt proceed-
ings are designed to punish a
person for willful disobedience
of an injunction or other court
order. The maximum penalty
under the amendment would be
a $1,000 fine or six months in
jail, or both.

tory in 1951. He was released
June 7 after four years were
deducted from his 10-year
sentence for good behavior.
Police Sgt. John Flynn said
Ohlson reenacted the crime
after admitting the double
slaying.
The bodies of the brothers,
who lived in nearby Stoughton,
were found Saturday—nude and
partially charred — under a
smoldering blanket of twigs
and branches.
Police Chief Joseph C.
Wright, who took part in 30
hours of questioning of Ohlson,
said the youth made no formal
statement but related he forced
the boys, whom he did not
know, at knifepoint to the spot
where their bodies were found.
Police said keys found under
er that “you’ll find here a warm
welcome.”
Eisenhower’s remark after
the oath-taking ceremony in the
cabinet room of the White
House seemed more a reference
to the difficulties of managing
the nation’s finances in current
times than a simple greeting.
To retiring Secretary George
M. Humphrey, Eisenhower said:
“George, now you’re just an ex-
bureaucrat.”
Eisenhower held a Bible, on
which Anderson placed his
hand, as Judge Warren Burger

riots broke out on Chicago’s far

afternoon battle between whites

The first disturbance occurred

100 Negroes were holding a pic-

began throwing stones at the

mostly Negroes, were injured,
none seriously. Some 100 po-

Police estimated that some
3,000 persons witnessed the

MEXICO CITY (A)—Soldiers
blocked off many of this cap-

demolition squads began tear-

Sunday’s quake, the worst in
memory of Mexicans, rocked
thousands of square miles and
caused damage of millions of
dollars but took a surprisingly
low death toll.
Here and in five other cities
42 were known dead. No. U. S.
citizens were among them.
A young mother was rescued
alive from beneath seven feet

their lives.
Despite forecasts that fur-
ther tremors might be expected,
none was registered during last
night. Thirty tremors were
registered yesterday after the
main shock.
At least 50 buildings were
toppled in the capital.
The capital, with its popula-
tion of four million, was hard-
est hit. The state of Guerrero,
with famed Acapulco and its
capital of Chiliancingo, was
next.
Thirty-two bodies were dug
out of ruins in the capital, 6
in Chiliango, 2 in Acapulco, 1 in
Otatlas, and 1 in Humanxtillan.
President Adolfo Ruiz Corti-
nes ordered emergency relief
aid for the stricken areas. But
schools resumed as usual.
Reports in Error
The President’s office said
the governor and chief of the
military zone of the southwest
state of Michoacan denied re-
ports there were any dead in
that area. An earlier report had
said there were 72 dead in that
state.
The casualty reports were be-
lieved fairly complete, but
authorities pointed out that re-
mote areas might still be heard
from.
The only foreigner reported
injured was a woman tourist
from Brooklyn, Mrs. Sarah
Dorfman. She suffered cuts on
the arm from broken glass in
her hotel room.
The quake hit this capital of
four million at 2:40 a.m. yes-
terday, seismograph needles

The city was plunged into
darkness. Fire engines and am-

If a jury trial amendment is
