14-Year-OM Boy I Confesses Murders ASHLAND, Ala. (UPD—Three murder charges were to be filed today against a thin, crew-cut boy of 14 .accused of what' police l Called "the wofst murder in the < history of Alabama.” ( Raymond Eugene Brown was > arrested at the high school gymiftshkh Friday as he donned his ,uniform to practice with the ' junior high football team. Sheriff ' Paul Levie said the boy readily 1 t admitted he cut, slashed and ' stabbed his aunt, grandmother 1 and great-grand-mother to death 1 last weekend with a butcher knife. < “He said he did it for money”, 1 the sheriff said. “I don’t know : why. There wasn’t more than S4O i in the house.” ; “He told me he started to come to me several days ago and tell me about it, but he said he didn’t know why he hadn't done so,” the , sheriff added. “The boy now realizes what he has done.” The boy’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Brown, were hospitalized in a state of shock. It was Mrs. Brown who had discovered the bodies of the three victims. Emotions of townspeople in this northeast Alabama town of about 1,800 have been turbulent since the women were killed. About 100 persons milled around outside the yellow brick courthouse when it was learned a suspect had been arrested, but when his identity was learned their attitude changed. “When the people around here I learned it was a 14-year-old boy it was like you poured water on i a fire,” City Policeman Buel Elliot said. “They were pretty hostile I the first day with all the suspicions and rumors, but now it’s i quieted down, and we don’t expect any trouble.” . The victims were Mrs. Berta Mae Martin, 31, Mrs. Ethel Ogle, 62, and Mrs. Everlena Ogle, 82. . Mrs. Martin was stabbed 123 time. State toxicologist Dr. J. H. Rehling said the head of the old- ’ est woman was “almost severed” j from her body. ; Two Missiles Fired Friday By Air Force ‘ CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (UPI) —The Air Force went high and low over the Atlantic Ocean Friday to score military test successes with its Titan and Mace mis-* siles. _ The mighty Titan, a 98-foot, 110ton intercontinental rocket, soared nearly 80 milles into space to hurl a nose cone and dummy warhead in a target 5,000 miles away in . the South Atlantic. The Mace, a winged missile firIj ed for the first time by an all-Air Force crew, took the low route—--1,000 to 40,000 feet above the oc- * ean’s surface, The Mace was aimed at a target 1,000 miles away. 3 Girl Scouts A new member, Carol Marlow joined the Zion Lutheran Brownies - at their last meeting. The girls are presently making things for their Halloween party. Games were played after the meeting. Girl Scout troop 460 met Wednes- - day at the Northwest school.

■"■■■ » I NOTES FROM ■ AFTER THIRTY | SHOCKING SITUATION It was my.extreme pleasure to be among the guests at the dedication of I & M’s new Breed generating plant southwest of Terre Haute this week. to describe that mechanical monstrous marvel in technical terms is impossible for this writer, and probably not many people would understand it anyway. So, we’ll go to terms more people can comprehend. The twin units of the giant generator each weigh 875 tons, are 112 feet long, almost 21 feet wide, and I 15% feet high. Hie room housing these giant turbine-units is about one-quarter again as big as the Adams county court house (not including the steeple.) The smoke stack on the plant is as high as the Washington monument, going 550 feet above the ground level, with 47 more feet in the foundation. This gigantic stack will annually belch out the residue of 1,400.000 tons of Indiana coal. Every day, the storied Wabash river feeds in 462 million gallons of water to be used for cooling purposes. The water passes into two huge condensers, and the steam from the turbines is condensed back into the Wabash. Nothing was said about what they do with the carp. The boiler-generator part of the plant is twenty-three stories high, and the tour did not include a trip to the top. There weren’t enough parachutes for all the guests. This steam generator runs the turbines, which in turn create 475,000 kilowatts of electricity. At least that is what the plant was designed for. Actually, they have already had it running at such efficiency that, if need be, it can produce over half a million kilowatts. Just what a kilowatt is has been . lost in a dim haze of high school physics (apologies to Harry Dailey). Irregardless of what it is, the power generated at Breed would be sufficient to provide modern street lighting for a 4-lane super-highway around the world at the equator. I This one plant can produce more ■ power in a year than that used • by 15 of the 50 United States in 1 There were several speeches at a year. - the dedication Sen. Hartke gave 1 a short talk, only slightly political. 1 Mr. Phillip Sporn, the top man in 1 the world when it comes to intea grated power (cooperative is a dirty word to these fellows), gave ■- an even longer talk that was pretr ty full of statistics. Through it all, though, was a > much more interesting speech, r- Blended through the background . of all the talk was the whine of a giant turbine giving a speech in a ( monotone of power. A speech that was much more impressive than all the words—particularly to fellows like Khrushchev and his v friends. 5 It’s through 71% million dollar ; projects like Breed generating r plant, and down to seven-cent - projects like a smalltown newspaper, that the bloated leaders of Communism are being beaten by • free enterprise in a free America. : Congratulations to I&M! : Rochester Man Dies In Fall At Home ( ROCHESTER. Ind. (UPD —Victor W. Huddleston, 52, Rochester, died Thursday night in a hospital ; here shortly after he fell in his home and struck his head against . a lamp. Junior High Classes Name New Officers The junior high classes of Lincoln grade school have elected , class officers for the 1960-61 school year.
