"You can hardly recognize the

lin al Least 81 Deaths
In East Switzerland
BY the Associated Press

GENEVA. Switzerland, Jan. 20.
At least 80 persons have been
killed and many others are miss
ing in an unprecedented series
of avalanches in Eastern Switzer-
land in the last "a hours.
The death toll was given as a
minimum by the semlofhcial
Swiss News Agency late tonight
after a frantic day OF rescue op-
erations in scores of villages and
Alpine valleys.
Rescue operations were ham
pered by broken communications
and continuing heavy snowfall.
Warnings of still more avalanches
kept all traffic off the few roads
remaining open.
The avalanches were not con-
fined to Switzerland. A report
from Milan said there had been
four deaths from slides in North
ern Italy. In Austria, at least
three persons have been killed
Locomotives Of two Austrian pas
senger trains were knocked from
the rails. A short circuit in a
snow-buried power station at
Kaunertal caused fire that
wrecked the plant.
Fall Is Nearly 2 Inches An Hour
Thick, wet snow has been fall
ing in Eastern Switzerland at a
rate of nearly two inches an hour
for more than "a hours. The
smallest drift can grow quickly
into a mass weighing tons. The
new weight breaks the crust on
older layers and a deadly ava
lanche crashes into a valley
below.
The series of disasters began
at Zernez, near the Swiss Ma
tional Park, last night when an
elderly road worker was killed
by one OF the first slides reported
Six men trying during the night
to dig him out were swept away
by, more slides at the same spot.
Many villages in the 15,0OO-
square-mile area are being evac-
uated under military orders and
army units are bombarding snow
masses with mortars.
Rail Stations Crushed.
In several cases, avalanches
have crashed into the hearts of
villages, f1attening most of the
buildings. Three such slides hit
the winter resort of Andermatt.
where at least five persons were
known dead or missing.
Two railway stations have been
crushed. Six members of one
family were killed in their home
at Eisten in the Loetschberg VAL
ley.
International trains between
Vienna and the West have been
rerouted through Bavaria. but the
Gotthard line. one of the most
important transport links be-
tween Central Europe and Italy,
has been cut near Wassen by
three separate slides.

Youth, II Held in Death of Boy
Whose BodyHe Told of Finding
Admits He StroneIed
Illinois Student, 13,
In Shack Near Home
BY the Associated Press

JOLIET, ILL.,. Jan. 20.-Sheriff
Ernest E. Overbey of Will County
said Kenneth Scholz, II, tonight
admitted that he strangled 13-
year-old Billy Rodenburg after
sexually assaulting the boy.
Sheriff Overbey said Scholz, be-
spectacled high school student,
made an oral statement that he
killed young Rodenburg Wednes-
day night with a brown scarf. The
Staying occurred in a shack at
Crete.
After strangling Billy. the sher-
iff quoted Scholz. he placed a
blanket over the boys body and
left it in the shack until Thurs
day night when he carried it to
Ia nearby road.
Earlier Scholz had made a
statement admitting that he lured
Billy to the shack and left him
unconscious after mistreating him.
He denied then, however, that he
had strangled the boy.
Billy's body was found Thurs
day night beside a road in his
home town of Crete, IS miles south
of Chicago. The slight, bespec-
tacled boy had been missing since
late Tuesday afternoon. It was
Scholz who had reported finding
the body.
Taken to Death Scene.
State Attorney John I. Pearce
said Kenneth related that he
picked up Billy in his car Tuesday
and held him captive while search
ing parties, aided by four Civil
Air Patrol planes, secured the
countryside.
Mr.. Pearce said Kenneth related
that he picked up Billy in his car
Tuesday and held him captive
while searching parties, aided by
four Civil Air Patrol planes,
secured the countryside.
After giving the statement,
Kenneth was taken to Crete to re-
enact his account. The prosecutor
said he had not yet determined
what charge would be filed against
Scholz and would hold him on an
open charge.
Scholz gave the alarm that led
to the discovery of Billy's body. He
told his mother Thursday night of
seeing Billy's body dumped from
an automobile by two men who
yelled, 80 long, kid" as they
drove away. She notified police.
Description Too Exact.
But authorities early expressed
skepticism of Scholz' version. They
said the youths description of the
automobile had too many details,
and pointed out the difficulty of
obtaining such an exact descrip-
ton of a car at night.
The spot where the body was
found is only a few steps from
the Scholz home, The place also is
a short distance from where Billy.
his parents, two sisters and a
brother made their home ir a
trailer. The father, William, 40,
is a carpenter.
The slain boys father spoke
his sorrow today for the youth
held in his sons death.
A deeply religious man, the
elder Rodenburg said in a tele-
phone interview:
Il am sorry for the boy who

did it, for he is young. I hope
the Lord will forgive him. I have
forgiven him already.
Il have no vengeance for the
boy. If he sat in front of me
right now would only feel sorry
for him.
Il am thankful for the fact
that he (Scholz) has been found.
I prayed to the Lord last night
to get some help"
Then, over the telephone, came
words from the Bible-from Ro-
mans 1928.
And we know that to them
that love God all things work
together for good, even to them
that are called according to His
purpose"
The sheriff credited tip he
received this morning from a
Crete resident with breaking the
case. The tip was that Scholz
sometimes slept in a shed on the
1amllyS property.
Authorities then searched the
shed-the same one, Pearce said,
in which Kenneth admitted hold
ing Billy captive. He did not re-
veal if any clues were found in
the shack.
Victim Brilliant Student.
Both boys attended the Crete
Monee community school. Scholz
was high school senior and Billy
was brilliant eighth grade stu
dent.
Billy was called ''The Professor"
by his classmates.
He was an A student, top of
his class in virtually everything" +"
Owen Springer, grade school prin-
cipal, said.
Scholz was described by his
principal, Lynn A. Wiley. as IAN
average student or a little below
that. but never in trouble and
quite diligent."
Mrs. Elsie Scholz, his mother,
quickly came to his defense. To
reporters who told her of the pros
ecutor's statement, she cried:
''It he's confessed to anything.
they forced it on him. My boy
wouldn't do a thing like that. My
boy is innocent"
She said her son was baby
sitting Tuesday night for friends
Of the family. and that Wednesday
night he stayed home and looked

Sewage Report Holds
Plant Expansion Least
Costly for Arlington

The Arlington County Depart
ment of Public Service has pre-
pared figures showing that ex-
pansion of the county's present
sewage disposal plant would be
cheaper for the next 80 years
than piping sewage to Washington
for treatment.
The figures were presented to
County Board members, who last
week approved plans for an en-
gineering survey to determine the
cheapest way for Northern Vir-
ginia communities to dispose Of
sewage.
R. M. Writ. director of public
services in Arlington who, with
County Sanitary Engineer Harry
Doe. prepared the figures, empha-
sized that they were tentative.
Our estimates could be off Is
per cent" he said.
Ideas Presented.
Mr.. Writ said the report was
not intended to block plans for the
engineering survey.
I'VE just wanted the county
board to know our ideas on the
matter" said Mr.. Writ.
To arrive at their cost estimates,
MIR. Writ and Mr.. Doe used con-
struction costs of Baltimore
sewer project which they said re-
quired work similar to that nee
essary for carrying Arlington
sewage to Washington.
They reported as follows:
Construction of an interceptor
main from the present outfall on
-Four Mile run to a point in Alex
andria opposite the District plant
would cost about $2,500,OOO.
Arlington then would pay ap-
proximately 100000 as its share
OF the cost of pumping station
to force sewage to the District,
and would have to pay about
100000 as its share of a sewer
main under the Potomac River to
the District plant.
Estimates Given.
Altogether, Mr.. Writ and Mr..
Doe estimate the plan would cost
$3.800,000 while the cost of en-
larging Arlineton's present plant
would be $2,225,OOO.
Cost of treating sewage would
be $4,000 cheaper annually at
the District plant, the two Arling-
ton officials agreed. But they said
the $1,575, 900 higher initial cost
Of the District proposition would
require an annual amortization of
$4,000. They deducted the $780,
900 lower annual operating cost
from the annual amortization
cost, and figured that Arlington
would save $45,0Oo a year for 80
years by enlarging its present
plant.
Asked about the type of treat
ment afforded by the two plans,
Mr.. Writ replied that the Arling-
ton expansion plans and the pres
ent District plant both provide
primary treatment. He acknowl-
edged that the District plant is
planning higher degree of treat
ment, but said Arlington probably
would have to pay more for treat
ment of its sewage at the District
plant if that is accomplished.
