ther. who had been shot to death
when the tragedy was discovered
Police continued to question
Sergt. Lawrence J. Walker, 20
colored, of March Air Force Base
here who was booked on suspicion
of carrying a concealed weapon
He carried a stolen .45-calibel
pistol, police said.
Questioned for Three Hours.
The Air Force sergeant wa:
questioned for three hours last
night and Sheriff's Officer w. w
Walrath, chief criminal deputy
said he insisted he knew nothing
of the case. After the questioning
a sheriff's posse left at midnight
to search the area where the cal
was found, 10 miles south of here
Sherlff's Capt. Don Schradel
said bumper bolts found at the
scene of the tragedy matched
those on Sergt. Walkers car. Mr.
Cooks auto, parked near his body
had dented and torn fender, as
though another machine hao
sideswiped it and forced it off the
road.
Capt. Schrader said Sergt. Wal
ker was arrested as police patrolled
the city, searching for a car with
damaged right fender. They found
Sergt. Walkers car, which an
swered' this description, in a
garage being repaired. 1t had
smears of green paint on the dam
aged fender, officers said. MI
Cooks car was green.
Discovered on Lonely Road.
Sergt. Walker told investiga-
tors his automobile fender was
smashed in an accident in Holly
wood last week.
Officers said Mr.. Cook was slain
sometime between II am. and
11:25, when Jack Tracht of La
Sierra discovered the tragedy on
a lonely stretch of road near Lake
Mathews in Riverside County.
Theorizing from tire marks and
footprints on what happened
Capt. Schrader surmised:
A car forced Mr.. Cooks off the
highway and pulled in behind
him. Mr.. Cook got out and a man
got out of the rear machine. They
apparently talked and, as Mr..
Cook turned, he was shot. The
rear auto then backed up about
300 feet. turned around and
headed for the town of Perris.
There were no women's foot
prints at the scene. The baby
boy. Jefferey, was on a pink
blanket on the ground near the
Cook car. The infant was un-
harmed

round out his staff.
The investigation is expected to
take a year or longer and will
concern itself with every phase of
Government personnel activity.
It's expected to be the most in
tensive investigation of its kind
ever to be undertaken by Congress.
The Senate has voted the COM
mittee $4,000 to carry out its
work.
Mr.. Purvis is not yet an expert
on Federal personnel affairs, but
Senator Johnston said he was Sc
lected because of his dynamic
leadership and outstanding in
|vestigative ability. Senator john
ston said Mr.. Purvis will surround
himself with top-flight investi-
gators in Government personnel
matters.
Mr.. Purvis is not making any
policy statement about what he
intends to do until he arrives here
and completes the roster of his
staff. But he makes it clear that
his staff intends to do a through
job from top to bottom in investi-
eating all phases of the Govern
ment's personnel system.
Among the activities the group
will delve into are the Govern
ment's use of available manpower
to staff essential agencies for the
national emergency program, per-
sonnel practices by individual
agencies. annual and sick leave,
overtime, promotions and incen-
tive programs.
From all this, the committee
hopes to have specific proposals
from its investigative staff at the
end of the probe on legislation
and executive orders needed to
correct whatever faults are found
in the Federal service.
Mr.. Purvis achieved national
fame in 1884 when, as chief Of
the FBI's Chicago bureau. he and
his men cornered and slew Dill
linger outside of a North Side
theater after the desperate had
terrorized the Midwest for months.
Among Mr.. Purvis' other exploits
as an FBI man was his part in
the capture of Pretty Boy" Floyd
and the roundup of the notorious
ITouhy gang.
Mr.. Purvis resigned from the
FBI in 1885 to enter private busi-
ness. During the last war, he
served as colonel in the Army.
He is married and has three sons.
CLERKS Only 1900 of the

Icials frankly said they were sur
Iprised at the relatively small num-
ber of successful applicants. Those
who f1unked, however, may try

Meanwhile. the commission has
withdrawn its authority to defense
agencies to recruit directly for
clerical jobs in Grades GS-1 to 4.
The agencies now will have to hire
from the new clerical registers
being set up.

McKeIdin Faces First
Assembly Battle Today

Democrats are set today for their
first major legislative battle.
After caucusing until early to-
day, the Democratic majority
marshalled enough strength to
block the Governors plan to
transfer nearly SO million from
the general fund to the Motor
Vehicle Department.
The Governors supplemental
budget is built around this shift,
to pay State police expenses and
cost-of living pay raises. If he
loses this fight. he has another
legislative trick up his sleeve,
however. That would advance the
gross receipts taxes collection date
from July to June which, officials
said, would give the State a one
year find of 81 million.

In rainy weather, lay a large
sized blotter just inside the front
door SO that wet overshoes and
galoshes can be put on it. When
the rain goes away, the blotter can
be rolled up and kept in the closet.
Small throw rugs that have a
tendency to slip along the floor
can be cured by attaching several
jar rubbers to the under side or
by shellacking the reverse side.
If a rug loses its stiffness and
you want to conquer the condition
yourself, here's how to go about it.
Get some sizing from a rug supply
dealer. 1t comes in powder or
grain form, some kinds to be
mixed with hot water, others with
cold, so look for specific direc-
tons. To apply it, turn the rug
upside down on the floor, pour the
sizing on literally out of a pot
or saucepan, then spread it around
evenly with an ordinary broom.
All you have to do then is leave it
and go spend the week end with
your mother-in-Iaw, because it'll
take the best part of two days
before it's dry enough to turn
over.

THE urgent need to improve the
quality of human relations in our
country has been stressed as the
outstanding, problem in our demo-

of the executive committee in a
statement outlining detectives. "a
university dedicated to the advance
ment of knowledge and to the edu-
cation Of people to render more
effective service as citizens and
as members of their respective pro-
LESSONS has special responsibility
to bring its resources to bear in
solving human relations problems.
Because of an increasingly
widespread recognition of the un-
DERIVING need and of the role which
institutions of higher learning can
assume" the statement added,
1.-The resources of the university and
the community are brought together
in a center for human relations
where many of the problems in
n rn1otinrc ha 81
tackled"
THE WORK OF THE new center
can be compared to our modern
health centers, DR.. Clinchy said.
"They will provide communities
with scientific resources for treat
ing tensions and conflicts in the
same way that a modern medical
center guards the public health"
He explained that the center
would conduct research activities,
train students in intergroup prob
lens, serve the community in
meeting situations growing out of
group conflict, and test existing
methods for meeting these prob
lens.
While the centers would be
equipped to study the causes and
treatment Of chronic social disease
like prejudice, discrimination and
racism," DR.. Clinchy said, "basical-
ly they would be concerned with
preventive measures for correct
ing and eliminating conditions that
lead to hostilities in social rela-
tons"
