Distribution To Employes ByG.ECo. General Electric company today announced distribution to employes of nearly sllO million in company common stock and U.S. savings bonds in the largest payout in the history of the nation’s industrial savings plans. Some 480.000 shares of General Electric common stock, and savings bonds with a maturity value of $73 million — annual distribution of stocks and bonds,accumulated under two company savmgs plans — are now being mailed'Vo the homes of 150,000 General ssec trie employes th r o u g h o u fthe world' .; “Under the present distributWm,” General Electric president Gerald L. Phillippe said, “upwards of 70,000 of these employes have become share owners of the company for the first time. Os the company’s now approximately 525,000 share owners of record,” he noted, “nearly one out of three has acquired stock under an employee savings plan.” “It’s inspiring to see this broadening base of company ownership among employes," Phillippe commented. He said that with the present distribution well over half of the company's nearly 260,000 employes now own shares in General Electric. Phillippe also pointed out that ' General Electric employes have ■ purchased better than $1 billion in U.S. savings bonds under payroll , deductions dating back to the early i days of World War 11. U.S. treasury secretary Douglas , Dillon recently congratulated the j company and its employes for ,

“their outstanding achievements in the field of savings.” "Both management and individual employes at General Electric,” secretary Dillon said, “have provided an outstanding example of the type of savings and the necessary incentive that we need if we are to maintain a vigorous and healthy economic climate in the years ahead." The major portion of the distribution is being made under the first annual payout of the company’s savings and security program, begun in 1959. With the company adding $1 for every $2 invested by eligible employes, employe accounts in the program totaled some S3OO million in stocks and bonds at the end of 1962. Eighty-six per cent of those eligible to participate are saving some portion of their earnings under the savings and security program. Its first payout, representing employes’ 1959 savings and company payments will deliver 410,000 shares of common stock and U.S. savings bonds with a maturity value of S3O million to some 85.000 participants. Additionally, over 129,000 shares of stock are being held in trust under a special retirement option, and in fractional shares held over until next year's distribution. An earlier savings program known as the General Electric stock bonus plan accounts for distribution of an additional $43 million in savings bonds purchased by employes in 1957, and 70,000 bonus shares of stock provided by the company. This is the tenth payout under the stock bonus plan since it was begun in 1948. “The fact that many employes are planning to use their invested savings for long-term opportunities . — education of their children, for instance — should be good news for the economy in general,” Phillippe commented. “We've learned," he added, "that their intentions are in keeping with the long-range benefits conceived by these programs. We’re proud of the way General Electric men and women have responded to the opportunity.” He emphasized that this is the first annual payout under the savings and security program. Most eligible employes are continuing their participation and will receive savings and company pay- 1 ments next year and in following years at the end of each threeyear specified holding period.

Boston Woman Ninth Victim Os Strangling BOSTON (UPI) — A 35-year-old handyman was sought today in the stocking slaying of an elderly woman who is the ninth victim of a strangler in greater Boston in as many months. Police hope capture of the suspect, whose name was known, would shed light on the maniacal “Boston strangler” who is believed to be the slayer of some of the women killed since last June 14. A new wave of terror spread through suburban Belmont where Mrs. Israel B. Goldberg, 62, a hospital worker, was found strangled with a nylon stocking Monday in her $30,000 home. Hired For Party Police said the chief suspect was a Cambridge handyman, hired to clean the Goldbergs' house in preparation for a party Monday night. Israel Goldberg, 68, told police he telephoned his wife in their home six miles northwest of Boston Monday from his office in Chelsea at 2:30 p.m. Her body was found about 90 minutes later when Goldberg returned to the fashionable Dutch Colonial'house. Mrs. Goldberg’s body lay on the living room floor. One of her stockings was knotted so tightly around her throat that it was imbedded in the flesh. Police said there was evidence she had been raped and v indications she battled her assailant violently before she died. They said Mrs. Goldberg’s clothing was torn. In the living room they found lamps and chairs overturned, vases smashed and a

lampshade crushed. Slayings AU SimUar Mrs. Goldberg’s' slaying was similar to at least six of the eight other victims, police said. Six of the others were strangled with an article of clothing and had been raped. The other two may have been sexually assaulted. Mrs. Goldberg was a volunteer aide at two hospitals and six of the others had worked at area hospitals. Two others recently had been hospital patients. There was no evidence of forced entry in any of the slayings, but Mrs. Goldberg was the only victim who did not live in an apartment. A handyman, painter or roofer was a key suspect in several of the stranglings. The other victims were Mrs. Anna E. Slessers, 55; Mrs. Nina G. Nichols, 68; Miss Helen E. Blake, 65; Mrs. Margaret Davis, 60; Mrs. Ida Irga, 75; Miss Jane Sullivan, 67; Miss Sophie Clark, 19, and Miss Patricia Bissette, 23.
