Credit Teenage Usherette With Capturing Killer LOS ANGELES UP — A 18-year-old movie usherette got the credit today for capturing a baby-faced cop killer who had eluded a statewide manhunt. Ex-convict Harold Miller, 26, was spotted asleep in a downtown theater balcony yesterday by usherette Shirley Drake, who called police after making sure she had the right man. Miller was returned to San Francisco today to face charges he shot and killed Inspector Dennis Bradley, 42, and wounded Inspector Max Girard, 37, in shooting his way out of a trap Wednesday night. Miller, who kidnapped two Korean War veterans at gunpoint in San Francisco and forced them to drive him here yesterday, admitted during the 500-mile drive that "I'm in the worst kind of a jam... I just killed a cop," the veterans said. San Francisco Dist. Atty. Tom Road blocks were placed at Brea road and at the intersection of Oranggethorpe and Spadra yesterday at 3:34 p.m. by Fullerton Police on request of the Los Angeles police department. In an effort to catch Harold Miller, wanted in San Francisco for murder of a policeman. The blocks were dismissed shortly after 8 p.m. Fullerton police told the Bulletin. Lynch, who flew here to question Miller, said Miller admitted the shooting. The cop-hating killer, carrying a loaded and locked German Luger pistol, was arrested by Detective James Brady and Wilbur Ulmer after Miss Drake recognized him from a photograph the detectives had shown her during Relocation of Tustin-Olive Freeway Studied SANTA ANA — State Division of Highway officials confirmed today that they are studying possible relocation of a freeway along Tustin Avenue from the town of Olive to Highway 101 at Tustin. The proposal is under "Serious study" on the authority of the State Highway Commission it was announced. The survey however has shot proceeded sufficiently to a point where the engineers are ready to commend a route. They said that they probably cannot complete their surveys for 60 or 90 days. They confirmed reports that the rerouting might take the Tustin avenue link of the freeway about 800 or 700 feet east of the present Tustin avenue. It would take off at the present route at the mouth of the Santa Ana Canyon Freeway at Olive, slice through orange groves and link back with Highway 101 in the vicinity of Tustin avenue or "possibly" at Tustin avenue. The improvement is to be built on a freeway basis; it is part of the Newport-Santa Ana Canyon Freeway which would lead from the coast at Newport Beach to Riveride. About six miles of the route from Olive to Tustin is under study for possible realignment. Service Station, Car Robbed by Burglars Burglaries entered Freddie's Service Station at 1039 North Los Angeles St. sometime during the night, police reported, and made off with Lynch, who flew here to question Miller, said Miller admitted the shooting. The cop-hating killer, carrying a loaded and locked German Luger pistol, was arrested by Detective James Brady and Wilbur Ulmer after Miss Drake recognized him from a photograph the detectives had shown her during the intensive downtown manhunt. "There were about 100 people in the balcony, but I kept looking at this fellow and finally I could see enough of his face to be sure," she said. "Then I went down to the lobby and got the two detectives." The officers, fearful of gunplay in the crowded theater, waited until Miller awakened and then followed him outside to make the arrest. The detectives said Miller surrendered without resistance, saying: "It looks like you've got the right guy." Miller, a two-time loser at San Quentin, released the two men he had kidnapped, Leo T. McCarthy 26, a n d John Foran, 23.

Within the past few days the public had heard differing appraisals of the status of Soviet H-bomb development. Conflicting Opinions Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson said the time when Russia can wage H-bomb warfare is about three years away. Chairman W. Sterling Cole of the Congressional Atomic Energy Committee that the time is "imminent." Civil Defense Administrator Val Peterson and Defense Mobilizer Arthur S. Flemming contributed to the confusion with differing appraisals of their own. Mr. Eisenhower quickly stopped in to halt the controversy. He announced that he has "asked all members of this administration to refrain from comment on Soviet nuclear capabilities unless they first check their statements with the Chairman (Lewis L. Strauss) of the Atomic Energy Commission." sion." Danger to America The President did not offer a forecast on when Russia will have a stockpile of H-bombs and a fleet of bombers big enough to deliver them. Instead, he stressed that "the Soviets now possess a stock-pile of atomic weapons of conventional types," and have tested an H-bomb or the "forerunner" of the H-bomb. "We, therefore, conclude that the Soviets now have the capability of atomic attack on us, and such capabilities will increase with the passage of time," he said. He thus drove home a point which atomic experts and civil defense officials have long tried to establish—that eight or 10 A-bombs of the type Russia already possesses can destroy a city as completely as one of the dread hydrogen superbombs.

UN Tells Anti-Red POW Not to Attempt Escape PANMUNJOM, Korea 07—The United Nations Command cauti ed anti-Communist prisoners against attempting to escape from Indian custody today and pledged to protect Indian troops from the South Korean threat of force of arms. The twin moves by the U. N. Command were obviously designed to ease tension surrounding "counter-brainwashing" of prisoners which has threatened to erupt into mass violence and possibly wreck the Korean armistry. In Open Letter Brig. Gen. A. L. Hamblen, senior U. N. repatriation officer said in an open letter to the 22,500 North Korean and Chinese anti-Communist prisoners now guarded by the Indians: "It would be most unfortunate if you were to do anything which would endanger your persons or confuse your status." Hamblen also assured Lt. Gen. S. K. Thimayya, Indian chairman of the Neutral Nations Repatriation Commission, that the U. N. has taken "necessary precautions" to ensure protection of the Indian custodial force from "disturbances by external forces." South Korea government officials have threatened to use force in freeing anti-Communist prisoners. Would Rather Die The 22,500 prisoners are those captured by the U. N. who have sworn they would die rather than return to Communism. Communist "explainers" will attempt to persuade them—if the machinery can be set up—to return to their homelands. Hamblen assured the anti-Communist prisoners that explanations will end on Dec. 24 as they were before being delivered.
