Young Couple

SANTA, ANA, Calf, March Il
-UD - Grand jury indictments
charging murder will be asked
against 17-year-old Beulah Louise
Overell and her sweetheart George
Gollum, 81, for the deaths OF her
narents in a time bomb explosion,
authorities announced today.
District Attorney James L.
Davis, heretofore reluctnat 10
press charges against the young
lovers, announced that he was
presenting the evidence to a grand
Jury next week and would tie
murder charges without waiting
for a grand jury action if any ef-
fort were made to free them by
writs of Fabaes corpus.
He was acting on new but un-
disclosed evidence. At his com-
mand, Miss Overell was given a
pregnancy test. It's results was not
announced.
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter E. Overell
were killed aboard their 5o-foot
cabin cruiser, the Mary E.. which
blew UP at Newport Beach Sunday
night.
Have Evidence
The couple were originally charg-
cd with suspicion Of murder BY
Nau,nort Beach Police Chief R. R.
Hodgkinson. He said at a press
conference today: I'VE have all
the evidence necessary"
Hodgkinson and Sheriff jim
Music agreed. Both said the deaths
of the Overells was a planned
crime"
eve are convinced that these
people were bludgeoned to death
before the explosion Hodgklnson
said. 1--WE have evidence indicat-
ing they were dead prior to the
blast"
Music said Miss Overell will be
accused as an accessory, lnolca1-
ing the murder charge would be
pressed against Gollum.
Undisclosed evidence has been
found which Hodgkinson and Music
felt proved conclusively that the
OverelIs were struck down before
the boat was blown apart by the
ingeniously contrived time bomb.
CLuUe Ero ofured
County Autopsy Surgeon DR.. John
Montanus reported the Overeus
died of multiple skull fractures
which could have been the result
OF blows on the head or the force
Of the blast. Officers theorized that
ball-peen hammer might have
caused the fractures.
Gollum moved into the overelPs
mansion the day after the ex-
plosion but explained this by say
ing he wished to be with his
fiance during her grief. The young
couple had planned TO be married
next month.

SUGAR RATI0NINC
MAY Be EXTENDED
House Votes 1854 For
Legislation To Continue
Control 120 Days

WASHINGTON, March 21-P)-
The House voted 286 to "a today
for legislation extending ration
ing and price control of sugar
until October 81, 1947, and sent
the measure to the Senate.
simultaneously, a Senate Bank
ing subcommittee voted unani-
mously in favor Of a bill continu-
ing rent controls through Feb. 20,
1948, without a general increase
in rent ceilings.
Passage of the sugar contro,
legislation was by a roll-call vote
at the insistence of Democrats who
demanded a record tally in an
evident move to get Republicans
ION the record in favor of con-
tinued controls.
The measure also extends allo-
cation powers over sugar until
March 81, 1948. They were sched-
uled to expire at the end of this
month.
Without the legislation, price
control and rationing of sugar
would end next June 30.
The House approved an amend
ment by Rep. Gamble R-NY) to
permit the importation of jams,
%jellies and syrups in consumer
sized packages without a ration
stamp-provided they are made
from sugar not originally intend
ed for importation to this coun-
try.
Senate action on rent and sugar
controls begged down when the
Senate Republican Policy COM
mittee failed to reach agreement
on whethr controls should be con.
tinued, changed Or dropped. The
issue will be referred to a inset
ing of all Senate Republicans to-
morrow.

Eisenhower Warns u. 5.
Of Troubled Times

A grave warning to the Nation to
prepare for troubled times ahead
was issued here yesterday by Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower in plea for
military establishment adequate to
protect the country against atomic
attack and to support our commit
ments abroad.
The general told a record breaking
audience at the National Press Club
he hoped the neWsmen would help
keep the people informed of the need
for universal training, backed by a
ready Army, Navy and Air Force,
an adequate National Guard and
organized reserves.
The international situation and it's
threat to security, Gen. Eisenhower
said in response to a question, has
neither increased Army enlistments
nor helped build up strength of the
National Guard from its present
$4,000 to the target" of 100000.
In the generals opinion, this Is
because the people of America are
puzzled, instead of belligerent" over
the new sinister turn in world
affairs.
He expressed the conviction that,
even after the United Nations be-
comes strong, we will need an ade-
quate military establishment to
maintain our influence in behalf
of ourselves and our democratic
friends throughout the world.
