12-Year-Old Girl Found
Murdered In A Well
WINNER, S.D., UP) — The body
of a 12-year-old school girl was
recovered Friday night from a
30-foot well on the farm where
Paul Edward Huber, 26, lived.
Marvin Talbott, state’s attor
ney, said Huber—held on a mur
der charge—had made oral and
written statements that he killed
the girl, Leslie Benedict, when
she resisted his advances.
Huber said he picked the girl
up in his car Wednesday morning
and offered to drive her to
school.
Instead, Talbott said, the sus
pect took Leslie to the bachelor
quarters he occupies in the farm,
owned by his father. After stran
gling the girl, Huber disrobed his
victim, burned her clothes, drag
ged the body to the well and
covered it with debris, Talbott
said.
Leslie was reported missing
when she failed to go to school
Wednesday. More than 200
searchers, aided by planes and a
bloodhound were seeking the
girl.
Because the body could not be
reached thru the narrow, foot
wide well shaft, crews had to dig
an adjoining hole to recover the
body.

President Says Progress In H-Bomb
Control Research Makes Inevitable
World-Wide Atoms-for-Peace Program
WASHINGTON, UP)— President
Eisenhower said Saturday en
couraging progress in research to
harness the H-bombs’ power for
peaceful purposes makes “more
inevitable” a worldwide atoms
for-peace program.
Eisenhower said in a statement
an international program should
permit all scientists to devote
[ their skills and energies “to the
betterment of mankind — not to
its destruction.”
The President made his state
ment in the wake of U.S.-British
announcements of success toward
achieving controlled nuclear fu
sion—the process that would per
mit using hydrogen power for
peaceful purposes.
Eisenhower said all Americans
hope scientists in other countries
will be encouraged by their gov
ernments to do similar research,
to that which led to the joint
—
U.S. British announcement.
Congressional atomic specialists
appeared generally satisfied the
United States is not being out
stripped in H-power research.
“We’re keeping our end up,”
was the tone of comment by
members of the Senate - House
Atomic Energy Committee who
were questioned about the joint
announcement.
The atomic agencies of the two
allies announced: “fruitful and
promising results” from separate
laboratory - scale experiments in
both countries, but said practical
power from hydrogen fusion still
is years away.
