(AP).-The respondent and
bitter widow of a Peruvian
diplomat admitted to police
last night that she killed her
five children by giving them a
potent connection of "a Sleep
ing tablets, sugar and orange
juice under the pretense it was
a cough medicine.
THE only regret I have is
that I didn't die" Mrs. Ruth
Mae Urdanivia, Al. told au-
thorities calmly. She also
drank some of the mixture,
cut her wrists and turned on
gas jets in efforts to take her
own life.
They're better off now with
their father" Mrs. Urdanivia
said. "They won't have to live
in a pig sly or eat inferior
food. I'm tired, tired of
begging. No one helps a widow"
In a statement to Lehigh

she had been planning to kill
the children and herself ever

diplomatic mission in Tokyo.

II just couldn't make ends
meet" Mrs. Urdanivia told Mr..
Mckinley, in unfolding the
bizarre tale which finally
reached its climax last Wednes-
day.
Mrs. Urdanivia said she took
100 sleeping tablets and mixed
them with sugar and water.
She told her children, Louis, 9;
Carol Miriam, 4; Christine, IL;
Ruth Lucille, 10, and Anna Ma
rine. 7, to take them for their
coughs.
The children complained that
it was too bitter. Mrs. Ur-
danivia then added orange
juice.
She had crushed the tablets
into powder with a heavy
drinking glass, allocating % to

Included in these activities is

Unofficial reports now say a

the Air Force and NASA for

The ultimate fate of the mis-
Sile agency is expected to be

by President Eisenhower.
Gen. Medaris has had a
widely varied career.
In his day he has been a

Medoris, Missile Chief,
To Quit 3 Years EARLY

NEW YORK, Oct. 20 (AP).-
Mai. Gen. John B. Medaris,
head of the Army Ordnance
Missile Command, plans to re-
tire from active military serv-
Ice three years before manda-
tory retirement age.
Gov. Medaris said last night
he would retire effective jan
uary 81 after % years of active
duty and 10 in the National
Guard and Army Reserve. The
Army's mandatory retirement
age is so.
He did not reveal his future
plans.
An Army spokesman said
Gen. Medaris had planned for
some time to retire and that
inter service sruabbleS over
space projects had not in
fluenced his decision. However,
Gen Medaris has spoken out
against transfer from the Army
to the Air Force of all space
transportation projects.
The 81 year = old general
planned a news conference
here later today. His head
quarters is in Huntsville, Ala,
and he is in New York to ad-
dress the National Commercial
Finance Conference tonight.
Under his command, the
Army launched the Nations
first earth satellite and the
first solar satellite. and de-
veloped the Jupiter intermedi-
ate-range u,500-mile) ballistic
missile. The Army also
launched several other satel-
lites, the latest a 91-pound gyro-
scope satellite hurled into the
sky last week for the National
Aeronautics and Space Admin
iStration.
The Army spokesman said
Gen. Medaris had planned to
retire in 1855 but was per-
suaded by Army officials to stay
on to head up the development
of the Jupiter. With compile
ton of that. he said, the gen.
eral planned to retire
Gen. MedariS has been at
Huntsville since the Army Bal
listic Missile Agency was acti-
waited at Redstone Arsenal in
February, 1856. 1t was one of
the largest collective enterprises
ever undertaken by the Army
and controlled the expenditure
last year of almost 50 billion in
the missile and space field.
Command Extended
The Army Missile Command
was extended in scope in 1858
and Gen. Medaris was named
to head the entire effort. Be-
side the Ballistic Missile Agency,
the command included the
Army Rocket and Guided Mis-
sile Agency at Huntsville. White
Sands Missile Range in New
Mexico and the missile firing
laboratory at Cape Canaveral,
Fla.
The Jet Propulsion Labora-
tories at Pasadena, Calf, were
at one time under the COM
mand but later were placed
under NASA.
The Ballistic Missile Agency
new is engaged in the develop
ment of the Saturn space
vehicle.
In recent months, the Army's
role in the space and missile
field has been a major question
mark in national defense.
The Army received a major
setback last month when the
Defense Department announced
that the Air Force would even
tually assume responsibility for
all space transportation tasks.
