PERU. Nebr.. April 26.-Asso-
ciates today could offer only one
motive-distress over the impend-
ing loss of his job-for the tragic
behavior yesterday of an other
wise mild-mannered psychology
professor who shot and killed two
fellow college officials, then him
self.
For "a years DR.. Barney K.
Baker. 81. had taught on the
beautiful Campus Of the Thou
sand Oaks" at Peru State Teach
ers College.
Yesterday morning the new COL
lege catalogue came out. 1t re-
vealed publicly for the first time
what DR.. Baker had known since
last fall-that he was being
dropped in reorganization of
the schools department Of educa-
ton.
Killed at Desks.
The catalogue, said County At
torney Fred c. Kiechel. may have
been the trigger that sent the
professor walking wordlessly into
the Offices of the college president
and the head of the education
department to kill them at their
desks.
Slain were DR.. William L. Mich
olas, 48, president Of the college
since 1916, and DR.. Paul A. Max
well, Sc, education department
head and DR.. Bakers immediate
superior.
Less than an hour later DR.
Bakers body was found in the
living room Of his home at the
edge Of the campus. Neatly laid
out were his keys, with pieces OF
paper to identify them, and a
typewriter note with instruc-
tions for disposal Of the body.
Tackled to the front doorbell was
another note: Tell Prof. &C. A.
Huck mathematics teacher at
the college) to take charge"
Clue In Scrubbed Note.
Scrubbed at the bottom Of the
typewriter note was the apparent
tipof to the motive:
Willie (the college president)
tried to fire the wrong person"
Mr.. Kiechel called 1t obviously
o double murder and suicide" and
said there woul be no inquest.
He said the slayings were pre-
Yneditated" and DR.. Baker appar-
emily prepared his notes in ad-
vance Of the slayings.
Lending credence to the pre-
meditation theory was the profess
sor's behavior just before the
shootings. Waiting to see DR..
Nicholas, he traded small talk with
two representatives of an Omaha
typewriter company, also waiting.

career conference for prospective
teachers and a meeting of the

Dean r. A. Quelle was named

Associates described DR.. Baker
as an erudite professor but not
much of a mixer" !" He was a
sports fan and hunter but his
psychology classes weren't par

come wage boost to Ford Motor
Company workers yesterday (Mon-
day. and an agreement by CLIO
electrical workers to call off strike
scheduled for today.
The electrical workers accepted
without reservation a government
proposal-based on the hope OF
averting a defense production cut
back-to mediate a dispute over
wages with the General Electric
Company.
Ford workers won a new five
year contract, carrying wage boost
which union officials estimated
would mean from $45,000,000 to
$50,0C0,000 yearly to some l26,O0O
workers.

duced the usual flow of oratory-
some of it keyed directly to work

all citizens to grid for struggle

The dispute with General Electric
had threatened to affect 46 or more
GE plants and 10000 workers-only
about a third of them members OF
the CLIO Electrical Workers Union.
Some $1,000 members had been
called upon to strike today.

day to settle the dispute peaceably

BIG DRAFT
ASKED FOR
NOVEMBER
Army Calls for Seventy
thousand Raising Toll
Now 10 10000

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5-'R-The
Army today asked for a draft OF
10000 men during November.
This raised the total draft call
to date to 10000, all for the Army.
In earlier calls the Army asked for
$4,000 men in September and 50,-
900 in october.
The Defense Department said to-
day the Navy and the Air Force do
not plan to ask for draftees in Nov
ember. Both services have been
building up their manpower with
volunteers and by the recall OF re-
serves.
The draft now is limited to single
men, aged 10 through rs.
Draft Boards are calling the old
er men first.
But with a goal of 100000 men
under arms by next June, there is
every sign that the draft will soon
be broadened.
Only last week, Chairman Vinson
D-Ga) of the House Armed Services
Committee said that in January
his group will consider raising the
draft age to 35.
