Intended Victim Catches Strangler

SANTA ANA, Calif., R - A confessed strangler of three Los Angeles area models led police officers to the desert graves of two of them today.
 Calmly, Harvey M. Glatman of Los Angeles led officers to re- mote, sandy area near Escondido in San Diego County: He identi- fled the remains found there as the bodies of Mrs. Shirley Ann Loy Bridgeford, 24, divorcee of Sun Valley, and Miss Ruth Rita Mercado, "A, Los Angeles model.
 A body found, also in the des- ert, near Indio in Riverside Coun- ty last December, is believed to be that of his third victim, Mrs. Judy Ann Dull, 19, of West HoI- lywood. Glatman told police he killed her and buried her in that area.
 Officers here, who booked the 30-year-old television repairman on suspicion of murder, said a fourth intended victim Mrs. Lor- raine Vigil, 28, Los Angeles, brought about Glatman's capture.
 He made date wiht her Mon day night for some picture-tak- ing but, instead, took her out on the Santa Ana Freeway, produced gun and attempted to assault her, police said. However, she suc- ceeded in grabbing the gun and was holding Glatman at bay when officers happened to come along.
 Sheriff's officers said the three women killed first were raped They quoted Glatnan:
 II would make them kneel down. With the gun on them, I would tie this five-foot piece of rope around their ankles. Then I would loop it around their neck. Then I would stand there and keep pulling until they quit struggling"

.Soviets Demand Ban On Atom
 Tests Forever

GENEVA, RIRuSsia reiterated today it's demand for an imme- diate suspension of nuclear weap- on tests forever.
 Soviet Delegate Selnyon K. Tsarapkin made the demand at the start of new talks with the United States and Britain for a joint suspension of tests under international control.
 Tsarapkin said a permanent un- dertaking by the three powers to stop tests should precede nego- tiation of the control system to de- tect violations. The West has con- sistently refused to agree to per manent cessation of tests unless the control system is set up first.
 Meanwhile, voluntary British and American cessation of tests for a one-year period went into ef- feet today.
 All three nations have professed to favor banning the tests, but a continuing East-West split was underlined by these developments on the conference eve:
 l. The Soviet Union insisted that the talks must lead to an agreement outlawing tests imme- diately and forever, regardless of whether a control system is ap- proved.
 2. The United States and Bri- tain announced conditional one year suspension of their tests, ef- fective last midnight. The condi- tion was that the Soviet Union cease firing nuc1ear explosives too. -#

Eisenhower Speaks Tonight To Back Republican Congressional Candidates

throw away the hobgoblin speech your ghosts have written" and discuss the issues.
 Vice President Nixon forged deeper into the West today, still sounding an optimistic note on Republican prospects next Tues day.
 Nixon was headed for Billings, Mont, and Everett, Wash, before going on to Alaska to back COP candidates in that new State.
 At Wichita, Kans., Thursday night, Nixon urged Republican party workers to "pour it on all over the country" in these clos ing days of the campaign. He said the Democrats have run out of gas" and pictured them as staggering and stumbling toward the finish line"
 A crowd of nearly 10000 per sons = Nixon called it his larg- est of the campaign - heard him in person.
 Meanwhile, the heads of the Republican and Democratic Ma tional Committees swapped jabs on civil rights II an issue that bulks large in some northern areas where the Negro vote could be a big factor.

(By The Associated Press)

President Eisenhower makes a final bid tonight for Republican Congress. The opposition says he owes thanks to the Democratic controlled Congress for any Ad- ministration accomplishments.
 Eisenhower, who has cam paigned with new vigor in this years battle for Congress, chose Baltimore for his windup vote Republican appeal to the nation via radio and television.
 The President has struck some heavy blows at the Democrats in speeches all the way to the West Coast. But he was expected to lay emphasis tonight on what he con- tends are his Administration s achievements in the foreign and domestic fields.
 Senate Democratic Leader Lyn- don Johnson of Texas said Eisen- hover has received more cooper ation from Democrats in Con- gress than from Republicans in the House and Senate.
 Johnson said the President ought to remember ''that the ac- compishments he now holds forth as his own are the works of a Democratic Congress.
 In this connection, Johnson mentioned antirecession measures and steps to counter Soviet scien- tific advances.
 Noting that Eisenhower's Bal timore speech tonight falls on Halloween, Democratic National Chairman Paul Butler said in a statement that Eisenhower should

By WILLIAM J. ToBIN

Richard M. Nixon gets his first look at Alaska tomorrow = but the political odds should appear familiar.
 Nixon, who has attempted to counter reported heavy Demo- cratic trends in vigorous cross country campaign, faces stiff challenge in boosting Republican prospects in this unborn state.
 Alaska won't officially join the Union before late December or early January, but its first state officials will be elected No vember 25. The outlook is for a Democratic sweep, with one pos sible major exception.
 It is that one exception which is expected to get the Vice Presi- dents main attention before he ends his final campaign tour at Fairbanks Monday = the eve of the national elections.
 Former Governor Mike Stepo- vich, 39, of Fairbanks, a COP candidate for one of the two U. S. Senate seats to be filled in the Alaska elections, likely will get Nixon's heaviest blessing.
 The national Republican Party badly wants at least one of the Senate vacancies open to the 18th State. And one Senatorial post ap- pears far beyond COP reach. Democrat E. l.. Bartlett, for 14 years Alaska's non-voting dele gate in Congress, seems certain to be elected to the Senate. In the August primary, he received near ly five times the vote total of his Republican opponent, R. E. Rob- ertson of Juneau.
 Stepovich was the only Repub- ican who ran ahead of Demo- crats in the Statewide primary races. Democrats in other contests topped their COP rivals by 3-1 vote margins.
 Republicans probably have inn proved their general position somewhat, but most observers feel they still have long way to go - almost certainly Nixon won't overlook the other Alaska races - which include contests for one U. s. House seat and the governorship = but Stepovich's Senate hopes seem the prime goal.
 In campaign speeches along the route to Alaska, Nixon hit at both New Deal and Fair Deal Demo- cratic Administrations.
 Stepovich's Senatorial oppo- nent, Dr. Ernest Gruening, Fl, was Governor of Alaska in both the New Deal and Fair Deal eras. He was appointed Territorial chief executive by Presidents Roosevelt and Truman, and ended pore than 13 years in the gover- nor's office when the Eisenhower Administration began.
 Gruening trailed Stepovich by 5,700 votes in their unconcon- tested primary bids, and since has directed a well-organized, we'll financed campaign to overcome the advantage posted two months ago by his youthful opponent.
 Helen Fischer, Democratic Ma tional Committeewoman from Alaska, charged that Nixon's visit ''is to try to rescue the Admins tration's hand-picked candidate" Stepovich from defeat.
 ''The fact that the Vice Presi- dent is taking three days at the peak of the national campaign, to stump in Alaska, is sure evidence that they know, as we do, that their boy is in serious trouble"
 Young Senator Frank Church D-Idaho hit the Alaska campaign circuit a month ago, and delivered

ASC Cost Sharing
Practices Amount
To $19,lS5.S3

R. w. Dennis, chairman of the
Noble ASC County committee,
announced that the designation
of boundaries for the 1858 ASC
election is by township, as it has
been in all past elections. The
chairman reported that 178 prac-
tices have been completed to date
under the 1853 Agricultural Con-
servation program, amounting to
cost-sharing earnings of $l9, ,285.-
83.
Dennis further stated that ade-
quate funds are available for the
approval of farmers requests and
suggested that any farm owner
or operator who wish to perform
any of the approved program
practices, contact the county of
flee and make their request. Cost.
sharing amounts to approximate
ly so percent of the total cost OF
performing a practice.
Dennis again reminded farm
ers that a soil test is mandatory
for any practice of which the ap-
plication of lime is requirement
and suggested that farmers make
their requests far enough in adj
vance of starting their practices
to allow the taking of soil sam
pie and receiving the test results
since practice approvals can not
be made until the test result in
formation is known by the county
committee.
