did not give details, the cone

Ascension island.

The statement said:
"The department of defense
has announced that the Atlas
ICBM launched last night was
successfully test fired for the
first time over the full intercon-
tinental range, a distance of ap-
proximately 5,500 nautical miles.
(6,325 statute miles.)
"The missile was fired over
the Atlantic missile range from
Cape Canaveral, Fla., at 9:27
p.m. EST Friday.
"The missile was powered for
this significant flight by its three
engine cluster.
"Prior successful firings, all

A spokesman for the U. S.
marshal's office in Anchorage
said Adkins, his body riddled
with bullets, was found in a
Naknek residence. Another fish-
erman. William Nekeferoff, has
been charged with the slaying.
Alias Was Used
Adkins, 57, had been going un-
der the name of Henry Miller.
It was not determined Immedi-
ately how long Adkins had been
in Alaska, but it was believed
he had lived there for years.
Records show that the bad-
man, who escaped jail with two
other men on the day he was to
have been sent to prison, was,
at 30, leader of a gang of youth-
ful bankrobbers, all 18 to 21.
He was facing trial for robbery
of the Peoples State bank in
Cherryvale, Kan., at the time of
his escape.

Stolen; Trio
Face Charge
Residents of Moore, just south
of the Cleveland-Oklahoma coun-
ty line on U.S. 77, were without
fire protection from midnight un-
til near dawn Saturday after the
theft of all three of the munici-
pality's fire trucks.
Lynn Marvel, chief of police,
said the vehicles were recovered
shortly after 5 a.m. some 1%
miles east of Moore on a county
road. They apparently had been
taken in a dangerous prank by
youngsters, led by adults.
Three men, all in their 20s
and all of them fathers, will be
charged Monday morning when
courts open in Norman, the coun-
ty seat, Marvel said.
"They said they didn't know
why they did it,” the police chief
added. "There were a number of
Capri moved the sign back.
Saturday, Moler said he had
been hopeful the highway de-
partment and the bureau of
public roads could reach an
agreement.
He said he had been unable
to get in touch with Horace
Jones, Capri owner, but had
written him a letter about the
sign. He said Jones did not an-
swer the letter.
Months ago Jones told a
newsman he had a permit from
the city to erect the sign, and
he has no plans to move it
Moler said he talked with
Powers about the stalemate
several times.
Oklahoma's money-pinched
highway department still has
about $250,000 of federal road
money hanging on the sign in
front of the Capri Motor ho-
tel at 33 Northeast expressway.
The money apparently won't
drop into state hands until the
sign is moved back from the
bypass right of way.
The federal bureau of public
roads insists the sign pro-
trudes over into the right of
way. It won't give the state
the money—representing feder-
al road aid—until the right of
wav is cleared.
Last March 13, Ed Moler,
assistant city counselor, said
the city would see that the
slaughter in the death and was
sentenced to the 20-year term. He
was identified as leader of the
Cherryvale bank robbery gang
during a preliminary bearing on
the murder charge.
Adkins broke jail on April 12.
1930, after he and two others
overpowered a jailer and locked
him in their cell. They used a
gun that had been smuggled to
them. After the break, they made
their getaway in a stolen car.
No trace of the men was ever
found.
Adkins' alleged killer is in jail
in lieu of 115,000 bond.
U. S. district Judge J. L. Me-
Carrey jr. declined to let Nekef-
eroff plead guilty to slaying Ad-
kins after learning of the bad-
man's background.

Deal on Berlin by June
BERLIN (UPI) — Communist propagandist Ger-

which the western powers will have to accept local com-
munist control of the lifelines linking Berlin with the
west.
“In six months—from June 1, 1959—the western

Detective Albert Gilhaus said
Andrews appeared "completely
undisturbed” by his act. He was
"cool and calm but seemed puz-
zled on why he did it," Gilhaus
said. ,
The bodies of the mother and
sister were in the living room of
the large frame house. The fa-
ther's body was near the kitch-
en door. When asked why the
father's body was there, An-
drews said: "He ran."
Tin Not Sorry'
Andrews said the family was
watching television. He went to
his room and returned with a
.22 caliber automatic rifle and
a pistol of the same caliber. He
fired several shots into each vic-
tim.
While driving to Lawrence, he
said, he stopped his car and
threw the weapons into the Kan-
sas river. ’
"I just can’t understand it,"
he told Gilhaus. "I’m not sorry
and I’m not glad. I just don’t
know why I did it."
Andrews said after the shooting
he ransacked his room, another
bedroom and raised a window
and removed the screen to make
it appear a burglar was respon-
sible for the crime.
The shooting occurred about 7
p.m. Friday. The family bad

At first, the burly youth '
Sheriffs deputies staged I
two raids in Oklahoma
City’s downtown district
Saturday and confiscated
908 bottles of whisky.
As a result Bill Fields will be
charged with illegal possession of
liquor, deputy Frank Lynch said.
The raiding squad made the in-
vestigation after receiving a tip
that two suspicious vehicles were
parked in separate parking lots.
The biggest haul, 686 bottles,
was discovered hidden in the I
false front of a panel truck
parked at the Fulbright Parking
garage, 5 W Main. Some 222 bot-
tles were found in an old sedan
parked at the City National Bank
parking garage, 18 W Main.
"We didn’t know who the ve-
hicles belonged to at first,”
Lynch said, "but later checks
lead to Fields. He has a lengthy..
record as a bootlegger.”
At noon, Fields still had not
been apprehended, but the dep-
uty said "we can find him.” The
raiding squad was made up of
deputies Lynch, Larkin Lamb
and O. E. Higginbotham.
Neither of the parking garages
was connected with the whisky
stashes in any way, the deputy
said.

Short Life Seen
Other statements in the com-
munist press made it clear that
the undefended "free” West Ber-
lin demanded by the Russians
could not long hope to retain its
independence.
They said there would be no
place in the government of such
a “free city" for Willy Brandt,
West Berlin's socialist mayor, or
Ernest Lemmer, the Christian
Democratic candidate for the
post.
Statements by U. S. and West
German leaders had indicated
earlier that the west will insist
that there be no change in the
status of divided Berlin until all
Germany is reunified.
Western Trio Agrees
Vice-President Nixon, Chancel-
lor Konrad Adenauer and West
Berlin's Mayor Willy Brandt all
took substantially this line in re-

chev's demand that West Berlin
be converted into an undefended
"free city”—surrounded on all
sides by communists.
