Quick-Draw Game Kills
California Man
NEWHALL, Calif., UP) — A man
who said he killed a companion
by accident in a quick-draw con
test has been booked on suspicion
of murder.
Robert Riley Mead, 23, of Pa
coima, said he went into a can
yon near Newhall Friday to prac
tice the quick draw with William
E. Mills, 23, of Van Nuys. After
the practice, Mead said, he chal
lenged Mills to draw on him. Mead
told officers he pulled the trigger
of his .22 caliber pistol, forgetting
there was still a cartridge in it,
as Mead whirled to draw his wea
pon.
Sheriff’s detectives said they
held Mead because Coroner’s au
topsy surgeons reported they were
unable to determine immediately
Whether the bullet in Mills’ chest
entered from the front or back.

mer,” said 9-year-old Peter
Gerite.
* Peter, who is 3 feet 5, took the
hawk home and later he and his
father took it to a police station.

Rapist - Strangler
Faces Questioning
In Unsolved Crime
LOS ANGELES, UP) — Harvey
Glatman, 30, rapist-strangler of
three young women, faces ques
tioning in the unsolved throttling
of three other Los Angeles-area
women. But he says:
“I’m in as deep as I can get.
There isn’t anyhing wtorse can
happen to me." ^
Arid of California’s method of
execution: “I guess they can only
give me one shot of gas.”
On Friday police brought the
mousy, bat-eared television re
pairman to Los Angeles 40 miles
from Santa Ana, near where he
was arrested last Monday night.
A Highway Patrolman happened
by on a motorcycle as Glatman
struggled beside a car with his
intended victim, Miss Lorraine
Vigil, 28, a model like two of his
three victims.
Before dawn Friday Glatman led
detectives to the skeletons of two
of them — Mrs. Shirley Ann
Bridgeford, 24, divorcee he dated
through a lonelv hearts club, and
Miss Ruth Rita Mercado, 24, mo
del and dancer.
A body found in adjoining Riv
erside County last December is
believed to be that of his third
victim, Mrs. Judy Ann Dull, 19.
Police said Glatman will be
questioned in the slayings of Mar
jorie Hipperson, 24, a nurse found
strangled with a stocking in her
Los Angeles apartment June 10,
1957, and Mrs. Ruth Goldsmith,
50, choked with a stocking in her
apartment April 5 of that-year.
Lt. C. W. McGowan of the
sheriff’s homicide division said
“We are by no means satisfied”
Glatman is not the killer of Mrs.
Jean Ellroy, 43, El Monte nurse
strangled with cotton rope and a
stocking in bushes bordering a
school playground last July 15.

Loses Shoes On
Snowy Tour
ANCHORAGE, UP> — Julie Nix
on, 10-year-old daughter of the
Vice President, lost her shoes in
the Alaska snow yesterday.
Young Miss Nixon, her sister,
Patricia, 12, and their parents,
Vice President and Mrs. Richard
M. Nixon, were visiting a century
old Russian Orthodox Church and
cemetery at the Indian village of
Eklutna, a few miles north of
here.
Julie’s black shoes slipped from
her feet as she walked through
four-inch snow to the cemetery
after leaving the church.
Her stocking-clad feet were cov
ered with snow.
“It’s cold, Daddy,” she said.
The Vice President agreed it
probably was. He helped her slip
the shoes back on.
“I’ll carry you,-” said her father.
And he did, piggy back, to a
road where the snow had been
packed down and the walking was
a little more easy.
The Nixons were on a short
sightseeing trip during a Sunday
off between political speeches.
The Vice President chatted at
the Russian church with its care
taker, Mike Alex, a 53-year-old
Kenai Indian, who was born at
Eklutna.
Alex told the Vice President
there now were only 25 or 30 resi
dents in the village. The church
still is used for services, he said,
but only when a visiting Ortho
dox priest comes to the village
from Anchorage.

German Girl
BAD NAUHEIM, Germany, lffi
— Pribate Elvis Presley, on duty
with the Army overseas for a
month now, has A German girl
friend.
He was asked the girl question
durng an interview the other
bight.
“Yea,” the rock ‘n’ roll spe
cialist told an interviewer, “I’ve
been dating a little German girl
from Frankfurt. Her English isn’t
too good yet and every time I go
out with her, she brings along her
little dictionary.
“lihe other night I said some
thing about a puppy. Well, she
didn’t know what the word meant,
so she went tearing through that
little book. Man, it was funny.’’
When Elvis left New York for
his base here, he said something
about wanting to meet Brigette
Bardot. Her reaction was less
than warm.
“Man,” Elvis grinned sheepish
ly as he flopped a leg over the
arm' of his easy chair. “I really
left myself wide open on that
one.”

ESC Must Review^
Advisory Council Plans
JUNEAU, W) — The Employ
ment Security Commission was
reviewing the minutes of its ad
visory council meeting last week
to determine whether the group
actually recommended a higher
tax base and rate and the inclu
sion of experience factor in unem
ployment insurance programs.
ESC announced earlier that tfcfe
council recommended extension of
the tax base to total annual in
come, one-half per cent increase
in employer and employe tak
rates, and reinstatement of tihe
experience system in the law.
Later some members of thft
council sdid they did not go that
far — they had only asked ESC
to compute the effect of such
changes on the act. They said they
had planned to study cost figured
before recommending anything.
ESC officials said it is their un
derstanding from reading the min
utes that the council actually had
proposed those changes in the
law.
