New Angle Found In Massachusetts Death Youth Is Quoted As Confessing Slaying AMEKBURY. Mass.. (INS) - State police today quoted a 23-year-old Newbupyport widow as saying a Merrimack Valley, youth told her he was the killer of Melvin Clark Jr., and *©t Clark’s wife, who Is in Salem jgU accused of the murder. NfcTf *■ Police said the girf told them the 29 - year -old electronics expert found the unnamed youth with Mrs. Lorraine Eaton Clark. 28, in their Lake Attitasht cottage April 10. * Clark took a gun from his collection. The youth, who sent Mrs. Clark out of the house, disarmed the irate husband after a struggle in which the young husband was shot in the bead. Then, according to the young Newburyport widow’s startling story, Clark, although wounded, broke a beer bottle for a weapon. This too was taken from him by his opponent in the death struggle. Clark was stabbed repeatedly with jiigged edge of 1 the broken bottle, according to the story as allegedly told by the youth to the Newburyport widow. When Clark began crawling toward the door the youth hurled an iron pipe, which' struck the wounded man in the back of the neck and killed him, the young widow’s story related. The youth, alone, wrapped Clark’a body in bib navy raincoat and took it in the Clark automobile to Rock Bridge and dumped the body weighed with a house radiator and concrete blocks into Merrimack river. The body was found on a West. Newbury salt marsh on June 2 by a woman bird Watcher. After a long Investigation Mrs. Clark was arrested and allegedly “confessed” to the slaying. Investigators were puzzled over the ability of Mrs. Clark to carry her husband’s bddy from the rear of his automobile and lift it over the .four and a half toot tall bridge guard rail. Also, investigators had been unable to locate the young man who left the Clark automobile in an Everett parking lot on April 11 close to the transit station. Everett is 20 miles from the scene of the crime. The startling charge by the youngs Newburyport widow, whose identity was withheld, coupled with a story to authorities by another Newburyport young women that the asm* youth hi# Miked her to be an alibi witness for the night of April 1(7 came after district attorney Hugh A. Cregg ordered the Clark case investigation reopened. Previously. Cregg had maintained that the investigation was over and that he was satisfied with an alleged statement by Mrs. Clark that she alone murdered her husband and dumped his weighted* body off a bridge into the Merrimack river. She is being held without bail in Salem jail Awaiting grand jury action. (C*»tl»Brt From Paae Om) here that the sky over Chestertown is filled with smoke and I can see occasional flashes.

Allies Planning Final Plea On Atom Control Plan Plea Tuesday To Russia To Join In Control Program UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (INS) -Britain. Prance, the U. S. anti Canada are drafting final pleas to Russia today to join in an effective program for control of nuclear weapon* and limitations of the global arms race. The appeals will be made next Tuesday in the UN disarmament ecmtnission meeting called to consider the report of the five-power committee which, .met in London from May 13 to June 22 without result. Soviet refusal in the secret London sessions to negotiate seriously with the western powers for an atomic pact contrasted sharply with Moscow's propaganda about ‘peaceful co-existence.” Western diplomats expect this contrast to be made clear during the coming public debate in the disarmament commission.. Commission members pointed out that the public debate should demon trate that Russia is unwilling to join the west in any realistic effort to bring about International control of hydrogen and atomic weapons and reduce wo. kl tension by curbing the arms race. A UN diplomat who attended the London sessions said: “The Russians exposed their ow n propaganda hypocrisy in those secret meetings by flatly refusing to consider anything which might lead to atomic agreement or arms reduction. “They want the U. S. and Britain to give up atomic arms, 'but without asking Russia to do the same. Any reversal by the Kremlin would be a miracle.’’ U. S TO REJECT (Com!nurd From l'agr Owe) would resign as premier At the Paris conference, however, Mendes-Franee told Dulles that if the Communists do not agree to a suitable cease-fire agreement, he will ask his government to start gener|l con scription and adnd fighting reinforcements to Indo-Chlna. - It was learned authoritatively that, at the three-power conference. Dulles warned both MendeaFrance. apd' British foreign secretary Anthrthy Eden that quick collective military action by the Big Three might he necessary a-t any time to defend southeast Asia, if the Communists continue the shooting war in Indo-China. Du lies told the two ministers I that such collective action by the Western Big Three could no: wait 1 for a Southeast Asia security pact. The secretary also told France and Britain that the U. S. has no intention of taking military action alone in Southeast Asia. Dulles wade it ctea r that the V S. "w ill act only in cooperation with Britain and France. Authoritative stmrrew snid that if it is necessary for the U. S. to go to tpe defense of Southeast Asia. President Eisenhower will first ask approval of congress.

G. I. Loan Plan For Buying Home Three Years Remain For Warti Veterans ♦ World War II veterans have three years remaining in which to buy a borne under the Q. 1. loun plan. This was pointed out by Clark W. Smith, authorized dealer for United States -Steel Homes ihc.. formerly “Gunnison Homes Inc.* The special loan privileges for World War II veterans expire July 27. 1957. More than 3,000,000 veterans already have purchased homes on loans insured by the veterans administration. They also have compiled a good record of repayment of these loans. * The V. A. has had to pay claims only on some Mi bf 1 percent of all G. I. home loans made. Actual losses to the government to date have amounted to less than 1/10 of 1 percent. This is a high tribute character and sense of community responsibility of ex-servicemen. The veteran has discovered that home ownership represents security in times of stress and provides a start on the road to financial independence, Smith said. For veterans gnxious to build a new home, Smith outlined these steps toward obtaining a 0.1. loan: Find the new' home you want to build. Present original discharge papers to * builder, j Property is appraised-by a V.A. . approved appraiser. Certificate of reasonable value is obtained. If application is approved, the loan is made and - construction started. •? • Smith also said that present market conditions are the best in years for home buyers. There is a reasonable selection of new homes, a steady flow of mortgage funds for 0.1. loans at low down payments and a leveling off of construction costs. If you .have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad. It brings results.
