TWO-A THE SUNDAY COURIER AND PRESS EVANSVILLE, INDIANA SEPTEMBER 25, 1966 Sunday Courier and Press MITCH MILAVETZ, Editor wife Published by the EVANSVILLE PRINTING CORPORATION GEORGE R. BENEDICT, President 201 N.W. Second St. Evansville, Ind. 47705 Phone 424-7711 Plane Crash Kills Kennedy Relative RIGGINS, Idaho (P -The George Skakel brother of taken Saturday from the wreckage the central Idaho primitive area.
The five, members of a 20-1- elk hunting party, also Dean F. Markham of McLean, a close friend of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, D-NY. The others killed were Louis Werner Il, an investor and member of a prominent St.
Louis family: Earl Ranft, president of the Dabar Haulage of Bayonne, N.J., and the pilot, Donald Adams, of Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho. Skakel, of Greenwich, was president of the Great Lakes Corp. of New York, which has holdings in southwest Idaho. Markham was in charge of Great Lakes' Washington office. The five were killed late Fri- 2 of 3' Re-Figure '67 Prices DETROIT (P Ford and Chrysler officials were busy this weekend trying to figure whether they should cut their 1967 car prices.
Ford's average increase of $113 and Chrysler's average of $92 or $103, depending upon to whom you listen, look king-sized in comparison with General Motors' $54 average hike. The nine million people who the industry hopes will put their money on the line in 1967 for a new car may be sure of one thing: the price tag is going to be larger than for 1966 models. "This is a pretty competitive business and we've got to get our prices in line or lose sales," said a Ford executive who declined use of his name. GM's move, coming after the other two of the Big Three were on the street with their new prices, was a tipoff that it is out to regain sales in 1967. August reports showed General Motors sales for calendar 1966 running behind those for the similar 1965 period.
Ford's and Chrysler's were ahead. Nab 3rd Slaying Suspect bodies of five men including Mrs. Robert F. Kennedy-were of a plane which crashed in day when their plane, loaded with hunting gear, overshot an airstrip deep in the Salmon gorge 40 miles east of Riggins. Idaho Aeronautics Director Chet Moulton said the pilot apparently tried to make a climbing turn in a steep canyon.
The five were in one of several planes carrying the hunting party from several eastern states and California into the Sheep Guest Ranch off the Sal mon River, near Crooked River. The bodies were taken by helicopter to an airstrip downstream where an ambulance waited to return them to Boise. A Great Lakes Carbon Corp. plane that brought many of the party to Boise from New York City Friday was to return the bodies to the East. Sen.
Kennedy canceled a weekend political tour in New England because of the death of his brother-in-law. During the administration of President John F. Kennedy, Markham served on the President's Council on Physical Fitness and as executive of the President's Advisory Commission on Narcotics and Drug Abuse. Werner was on the board of Mercantile Trust, large St. Louis bank.
The crash was in the same primitive area, but about 50 miles to the west, of the middle fork of the Salmon River, where the Robert Kennedy family vacationed this summer. The parents of Ethel Kennedy and George Skakel were killed in an airplane crash in Oklahoma in 1955. Two members of the Kennedy family also died in air accidents. Another, Sen. Edward M.
Kennedy, suffered a fractured spine in a light plane crash in Massachusetts in June 1964. His oldest brother, Navy Lt. Joseph P. Kennedy 29, was lost on a wartime bombing mission from England in 1944. Four years later his sister, Kathleen, was killed in a French plane crash at the age of 28.
PAOLI, -State, county, and city police, armed with a first-degree murder warrant, Saturday arrested the third suspect in the March 11 murder of an Indianapolis night watchman. Arrested in a French Lick motel about 10:30 a.m. was Melvin Hendrickson, 32, twin brother of Elvin who was arrested Friday in Evansville. Also arrested Friday in Evansville was Mrs. Lee Young, 38, a former waitress at Hadi Shrine Club.
Elvin Hendrickson, a truck driver, listed the same address as Mrs. Young, 33 Madison. He was arrested Friday afternoon as he drove into Evansville after getting off work in Henderson. Police said the suspect, who was unarmed, surrendered peacefully as Detective Gilbert Lengelsen drew a shotgun on him. He was advised of his constitutional rights and reportedly remained silent through questioning.
The Indianapolis case, a mystery since the slaying occurred, came to light when Mrs. Young called Evansville police about 2 p.m. Friday. She said she had a guilty conscience and wanted to tell them the story about the crime. Detectives said she had quarreled with Hendrickson on Thursday night and that he had threatened her life.
Mrs. Young, detectives said, told them she a accompanied the Hendrickson twins to an Indianapolis auto dealer's office and remained in the car while the men broke into the business. Indianapolis police theorized, that burglars were attempting to pry open a safe in the cashier's office when a 61-year-old night watchman, Henry Horton, spotted them. Horton's body was found on the floor the next day, his head beaten by a hammer. It was learned that Elvin Hendrickson formerly worked at the firm 1 as a mechanic.
Police had been searching for Melvin Hendrickson in the Jasper-Vincennes area where he was reported to be living. He was located at a French Lick motel, where state, county, and local authorities picked him up. He was taken to Orange County jail in Paoli before being moved to the capital city late Saturday night. Elvin Hendrickson and Mrs. Young were picked up earlier in the day at Evansville's jail by Marion County sheriff's deputies.
Space Experiment Prompts Many UFO Sighting Calls WALLOPS ISLAND. Va. (P) Space experiment wafted a huge multicolored cloud hundreds of miles across the sky Saturday and was followed by reported of a brilliant object in the East and Midwest. (Many Evansville reported seeing a "brilliant -white ball that changed shapes" In the early morning darkness. Similar sightings were reported in other Tri-State cities.) The National Aeronautics and Administration experiment ejected a barium and oxide payload from a four-stage rocket at its test range on the Atlantic Ocean here, about 120 miles southeast of Washington.
The time was 5:13 a.m. EDT, and the clouds visible at heights of miles remained, above the earth for about 45 minutes. A similar launching was scheduled for 5:51 a.m. today. It should remain visible for 30 to 60 minutes.
It was shortly after Saturday's launching that thousands of persons sighting brilliant objects or light in the sky in Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and southem Wisconsin. A NASA spokesman in Washington said the cloud probably was responsible. "A sunrise reflection against the cloud could do strange things," he said. Illuminated by the sun, the clouds at first appeared light green with a red tinge. Then they turned blue, forming elongated patters.
The experiment is designed to measure the electric fields and wind motion in the upper atmosphere. The current tests. in which the West German Ministry of Scientific Research is cooperating, were originally scheduled in early September but postponed repeatedly because of unfavorable weather. Taken at face value, however, not all the reported sightings could be explained by the colored clouds. There was one report of three mysterious objects in suburban Richmond, on Friday night, hours before the Wallops calls to police, and Patrolman Island test.
There were several John G. Pace, sent to check into them, said he saw three objects whose light about half an hour. At Anderson, an Anderson College security officer making his appointed rounds reported seeing a mysterious round blue object which, he said to land on the school's football field. The watchman, Henry Fox, said he first spotted what looked like a star in the eastern sky and moving toward the city. After about 15 minutes, Fox said, the blue started to fade and "'left a long-slender object like a shaft of light sticking up into the air it was very tall."
