Check Suspects In Missing Girl Case Hit Blank Wall In Case In Illinois ! SYCAMORE. 111. (UP> — FBI 1 agents today checked on a “couple" of suspects in the mysterious ■■ disappearance of Maria Ridulph. but authorities admitted that so far they have run into a blank i wall. Police Chief William Hindenberg revealed Tuesday that he had investigated the new suspects, said to be from Earlville, i with local authorities and turned the information over to the FBI. Maria. 7, has not been seen since Dec. 3 when a strange man known only as "Johnny” offered her a piggy-back ride. A young playmate of Maria, Cathie Sigman. 8, told police she made a 1 quick trip home to get her mit ‘ tens, but that Maria and "Johnny" were gone when she rereturned. Meanwhile, a so-called hot lead in the case turned out to be a dud when it was determined a small tan corduroy coaf found by searchers was not that of the missing girl. Maria's father, Michael Ridulph, told authorities the coat was not Maria’s. , Asst. State’s Atty. James Boyle sought the use of Air Force and National Guard helicopters for an air search of remote spots along ' local waterways and streams. Ice has made the use of boats impracticable some areas, he said. There were indications of growing public apathy in the case. Authorities said the number of volunteers willing to help comb down a 10-county northern Illinois Area was dwindling. Dekalb County ■ Sheriff Alf Diesz also admitted there had been little response to postcard requests' sent to 10.000 families in the area. Each family was asked to check their properties for clues to the missing girl’s body and to respond within 24 hours on a second postcard furnished them. The return

Shortage Os Former Treasurer $300,000 Final Report Given From Perry County INDIANAPOLIS (UP)—The Indiana State Board of Accounts lata Tuesday issued its third and last report which showed that shortages charged to former Perry County Treasurer Earl Kieser .amounted to more than $300,000. Kieser now is serving a 2-14 year term on Indiana State Prison for embezzlement. 4 Included in the latest audit was $35,715 which Kieser’s office listed as delinquent state property taxes but which actually had been paid, and sale of S2OO worth of intangibles tax stamps which Kieser failed to report to the State Revenue Division. Kieser was treasurer from 1949 to 1957 when auditors uncovered falsified bank records. The board’s original audit showed a shortage of $255,876. and a second report added $15,649. That added up to a grand total of $307,448, the biggest shortage by far ever uncovered by the accounts. board. — About $115,500 of that amount already has been recovered from bonding companies, according to deputy examiner Howard Swaim. I But he said no more money would be recovered unless Atty’. Gen. I Edwin Steers is successful with civil suits,, The $35,715 figure was determined by field examiners by sending letters to persons listed by Kieser as delinquent in paying | taxes. Almost half of those queried! replied and the total they were falsely accused of owing was the amount charged to Kieser by the examiners. Trade lea good town — Decatur

Dan Devine Is Named Missouri Grid Coach COLUMBIA. Mo. <W — Dan Dei vine, who led Arizona Tempe State to an unbeaten-untied season this year, today was named head football coach at the University of Missouri.

Ask Information On Financial Backers Rebel Teamster To Identify Backers WASHINGTON <UP'—One of 13 rebel Teamsters planned today to identify some financial backers of the rebels’ court fight to void the election of James ■ R. Hoffa as Teamster Union president. Godfrey P. Schmidt, counsel for the 13. said that Stephen J. Milone of New York Local 808 would be prepared to name all of the persons from whom he had collected funds and the amounts received from each. This information was requested of Milone in Federal Court Tuesday when he was subjected to cross-examination by Edward Bennett Williams, defense counsel for the Teamsters Unon. Williams told newsmen afterwards he thought it would be “interesting to find out who has contributed." Schmidt replied in a separate interview that the total amount of money collected by the rank and file rebels js “relatively small.” Their fund “just doesn’t compare with the 40-million-dollar Teamster fund,"„he said with a smile. Milone was the first of the rebels to testify. The rank and file Teamsters have charged that Hoffa’s election at the union’s recent Miami Beach, Fla., convention was rigged and should be permanently set aside by court order. Federal Judge F. Dickinson Letts, who is hearing the case without a jury, has issued a temporary order to that effect pending outcome of- the trial.

Long List Os Fees Owed State Agency INDIANAPOLIS — W — A routine audit of State Public Service Commission books Tuesday showed a long list of fees owed to the state agency, but which apparently never will be collected. The Indiana State Board of Accounts reported the fees, which are collected whenever a utility’s case comes before the commission, amounted to $2,824. The audit listed fees owed by 20 utilities and groups which it said cannot be collected either because the firms were defunct or the debts were too old.

Youth Is Held For Slaying Os Sister Authorities Hold 14-Year-Old Boy SOUTH BELOIT, 111. (UP) — Juvenile authorities today held a boy, 14, who they said admitted .killing his sister with a rifle because she taunted him about watching girls on television. Charlds Beeler Jr. told authorities Tuesday he pointed a loaded 30-30 rifle at his sister, Theresa, 11, to "scare her” into stopping her teasing and then shot her. “Will they send me to the electric chair?” Charles asked fearfully when taken to the Winnebago County jail in nearby Rockford. He was held overnight at the county juvenile detention home without charge for further questioning. * Theresa. whose body was pierced by the bullet, died en route to a Beloit, Wis., hospital. Authorities said Charles told them he had loaded two shells into the rifle and used one of them to shoot at a hawk outside the family's farm home. Later, he said, he went into the house, leaned the rifle against a wall and sat down to watch TV with his sister. He told police the girl began teasing him and he pointed the rifle at her three times, shooting her the last time. Charles at first insisted the gun went off accidentally while he was cleaning it. American Taxpayers Paid 77 Billions NEW YORK — W — The federal government already has received its Christmas present from American taxpayers—a neatly wrapped 77-billion-dollar bundle. That’s how much Uncle Sam collected from individuals and companies in the fiscal year which ended June 30. The biggest “gift” came from individuals, who forked over 35% billion dollars. Corporations came next with 21 billion. Excise taxes accounted for 10% billion, placing them third on Uncle Sam’s list.

FEED COSTS 5< or mon per dozen eggs! Compare Purina results with tho U.S. average and take your choice! ONE MILLION HENS in farm flocks fed on the Purina Program showed that they produced eggs on 4.4 lbs. of feed per dozen, a full IVi lbs. less than the U.S. average. This means that these layers produced a dozen eggs for 5 to 7 cents less than the average cost per dozen. This is truly cost cutting where it counts most i n boosting the profit column. Let us help you check your records. We can quickly show you your present cost per dozen by using the new Purina Poultry Profit Meter. Then feed Purina and check your costs again. We believe that you, too, will soon see the money you save, compared to most flocks in United States. Now Taking Orders For SEED OATS! Stiefel GRAIN CO. ■"’■VbViiVb*
