Two AWOL els Calmly Tell
Of Six-Stote Killing Spree

SALT LAKE CITY, June IL
(AP).-Two calm teen-agers,
swapping quips about the cleo
trio chairs. offhandedly spun a
tale yesterday-of murder in
half a dozen States.
They were wrong in their
count but as unperturbed about
the mistake as, seemingly, they
were about the killings.
1T didn't seem to bother
them one way or the other,
said Colorado Sheriff w. H.
Terrill. CT mean, no more than
what you'd think about going
out and shooting a rabbit"
The two. George r. York and
James D. Latham, said there'd
been those two women in Flor
ida that man in Louisiana
:. the man in Tennessee
two men in Illinois and one
in Kansas then that girl
in Colorado.
One Of Them Survive
They reckoned it at eight
people, six States. eight notches
carved in the handle Of one
Of their pistols.
Except that the man in Lou
isiana-they only learned this
last week end-survived.
Sheriff Terrill was one Of the
law officers who talked yester-
day with York, Is. of Jackson
vile, Fla, and his 19-year-old
Army chum from Mauriceville,
Tex. So did two men from the
Kansas Bureau of Investiga-
ton. So did FBI agents. To
all, the AWOL youths talked
freely, willingly signed state
mentS.
More officers were expected
today, as the States tried to get
their cases worked up for later
attempts at custody of York
and Latham. Meanwhile. the
two are held, under $4,000
bond apiece. on Federal vehicle
theft charges.
Show No RemOrse
"They talked as if they might
have robbed a peanut machine, "
said one law officer who
questioned them. There wasn't
any remorse. They even laughed
at some of their victims.
Sheriff Terrill agreed.
There was no remorse what
soever that I could see," he
said. THE only sign of it, they
said they felt bad about the
railroader in Kansas.
They joked about the death
penalty. One said to the other
he'd have to go first to that
hot seat. The other said, NO,
we'll both go together.
York and Latham were ar
rested Saturday, at a roadblock
west of Salt Lake City, in a
bright red car which had be-
longed to one of the victims.
The same conspicuous car had

LISBON, Portugal, Aug. ;

ties"
Foreign Minister Franco No

ports that Portuguese occu.
pants Of the tiny enclave set
fire to the fort under orders
from Lisbon. Dahomey had de-
manded that Portugal abandon
the fortress by last Monday.
Mr.. Nogueira said in a state
ment that the ultimatum fol
the withdrawal, which he
termed aggression, also was di.
rected against the United Ma
tions which last December
approved a resolution stating
that Sac Joao Batista was q
territory legitimately under the

He said the fortress was
ordered burned to prevent it
from falling into the hands of
Dahomey, a former French
colony. Dahomey President
Hubert Maya demanded the
withdrawal in a letter to Portu-
guese authorities July 25.

The United States has not

Mr.. Chen reserved the right
during his White House talks

noted that, in contrast with
the disregard for human rights
manifested by the Chinese
Communist regime, this record
was accomplished without vio-

been cherished throughout his

Mr.. Kennedy promised con-

aid and substantial assistance
for the Nationalist Chinese
