Sex Slayer Search Is Turned To Texas Second College Coed Is Reported Missing Boulder,, Colo., Nov. 13 —(UP) — The police spotlight swung to Amarillo, Tex., today in the search for the sex slayer of coed Theresa Foster .while police here investigated the disappearance of another coed in the belief the cases might be connected. The missing persons bureau in Denver followed slim clues in the disappearance of 17-year-old Lillian Debell. Colorado State college student at Greeley, 40 miles east of Boulder. Mr. and Mrs. John Debell reported their daughter’s disappearance to police after Miss Foster, 18-year-old University of Colorado freshman, was abducted and murdered here Tuesday. Miss Debell disappeared Nov. 1. Her roommate found this note: "I may be walking into a trap, but I think I know what I am doing. If anyQiing should happen to me, try and console my parents." The roommate said the girl took a traveling bag with her, but ap-1 peared neither morose nor excited. Sheriff Arthur Everson said that Amarillo police hold for question-1 ing two unidentified men. Everson said they would be held until their car has been checked for possible clues to the brutal murder of Miss Foster. Amarillo police said the ear had Wyoming license plates. The men told police they were en route from California to Texas. Miss Foster was believed to have been killed at a secluded spot near Boulder, and then put into an automobile trunk and carried to the lonely ravine south of town vhere her body was found two days later. Everson said that a call had been ;ent to all law enforcement agencies between Chicago and the west •oast in an effort to find the murler car. One of the most recent tips was, tiven the sheriff by Gerald KuntzJ 10, of Boulder. Kuntz said that his young daughter and some friends had seen Theresa and a man leave :he college church Tuesday. It had been thought that the murdered girl left the Newman club meeting done to walk back to hen boarding house. Brownie troop fourteen met Tueslay evening after school. Roll was ailed and dues paid.

Officials Silent On Appeal From China Unusual Appeal Is Made By Ambassador Washington. Nov. 13 — (UP) American officials were silent today on an unusual public appeal from China’s ambassador for "more and speedier aid" to Chiang KaiShek’s beleaguered armies. Ambassador Wellington Koo asserted that his country is.“fighting as a vanguard against the Red men- , ace" and has urgent need of American military assistance on » Iftigdr ' scale. He warned that "the whole of Asia may fall” to the Communists j if China goes down. . Some diplomats believed Koo’s : appeal was meant to “build a fire" i under the state department by rallying American public support for aid 1 to China. There was some specula- ' tion that it might incur official re--1 sentment. It was noted that Koo spoke out ' publicly barely 21 hours after he had conferred privately with acting 1 secretary of state Robert A. Lovett. presumably to press for more ! aid. Some 5,600 tons of ammunition ‘ is enroute to China now and addit--1 ional shipments will be made in the ' J near future, according to the de--1 tense department. 'l The Chinese ambassador’issued I his statement to the press last night 1 , in response to requests for comment on the proposal of Sen. Styles •' Bridges. R., N. H., that President Truman call a special aid-to-China j session of congress. Koo prefaced his remarks’by say'ling he had “no comment to make" ’.on Bridges’ proposal because "that ' | is for the government of the United 1 States to decide.” He added immed- ' iately. however, that China "is in I need of more and speedier aid.”

Britain Agog Over Pending Royal Birth Extra Police Sent To British Palace London, Nov. 13 — (UP) —Scotland yard-ordered extra police to Buckingham Palace today to handle the crowds anticipated when the birth of Princess Elizabeth’s baby is announced. The royal birth is expected this weekend. Buckingham Palace was keeping its own counsel about the imminence of the great event, the approach of which had keyed millions of Britons to a high pitch of anticipation. The bobbies were posted for duty beginning at 4 p. m. (10 a. m. CST) today. Sir AVilliam Gilliatt, the royal obstetrician, already was holding himself in readiness. So were his assistants, and the two journalists who will flash the word of the birth. The palace purposely retrained from mentioning any specific date for the birth in order to prevent the congregation of crowds. But persons in position to make the best guess have spoken all along of this weekend as the time, and especially in the last few days as the preparations reached the final s'age. However, some of the more cautious observed that this was the first-born of the 22-year-old heiress presumtive to the throne, and first children sometimes arrive la’er than expected. Elizabeth confounded those who regarded the birth as a matter of hours last night when she and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, paid a surprise visit to Lord and Lady Brabourne. Lady Brabourne is the former Patricia Mountbatten, daughter of Earl Mountbatten and a cousin of Elizabeth's husband. She lives on Chester street within 500 yards of the palace. Elizabeth and Philip went by I car on one of the foggiest nights of the season for dinner at the Brabourne mansion. Although photographers were asked to take no pictures, two morning papers had pictures of the royal couple. Elizabeth wore a fur wrap over an evening gown. Her face, showing through a car window, looked plump and healthy. King George and Queen Elizabe’hf who usually go to Windsor for the week-end. cancelled their customary plans on the possibility of the birth of their first grandchild. They made no official en gagements in London for tt| weekend. Rear Os Parked Car Auto Crashes Into An automobile driven by Glenn Reinhard, of Monroe, crashed into the rear of a parked car in Monroe late Friday when a third machine crowded Reinhard, sheriff Herman Bowman reported today. The parked car was owned by Fred Lamphere, a Jackson. Mich, clergyman. Total damage was estimated at 570. '■■■■■ ■ PLAY AMERICAN Shuffleboard Ladies Play Free From 1 till Three Riverview Gardens
