Web of Evidence Tightens Around WASHINGTON — Cordell Hull, Tennessee - born elder statesman who rose from a log cabin to be secretary of state longer than any other American, died today at Bethesda Naval Hospital. He was 83 October 2. He died at 9 a.m. EDT. Web of Evidence Tightens Around Murder Suspect BERKELEY, Calif. (UP) — A web of circumstantial evidence today tightened around frail university student Burton W. Abbott, formally charged with the abduction-murder of 14-year-old Stephanie Bryan. Authorities established the first possible connection between the 27-year-old Abbott and the murdered girl yesterday when they discovered that both frequented a doughnut shop and student hangout a half block from Stephanie's school. Whether the suspect and the victim eeer met there or talked together was not known. Meanwhile, Alameda County District Attorney J. Frank Coakley said that from clues gathered so far "we have ample evidence that Abbott killed Stephanie Bryan." Killed By Blow "I have not yet advanced any theory as to the precise manner in which she was killed, or where she was killed," Coakley said, "but I know she was killed by a blow to the back of her head by a heavy instrument, and I'm satisfied Abbott is the man who killed her. "I'm not going to discuss what we have, but it's sufficient." The girl's father, Dr. Charles S. Bryan Jr., signed a formal complaint against the 130-pound tubercular accounting student yesterday, starting the processes that will eventually bring him to trial. Abbott has protested his innocence ever since the first damning piece of evidence linking him to the pretty school girl's disappearance was uncovered in the basement of his Alameda home last week. Soldier, lawyer, judge; representative, senator and world-respected diplomat, Hull sub-cumbed following a long illness. He had been in generally poor health during the entire 10 years of his retirement from public service. Hull, ill much of the time in recent years, suffered what physicians called "a cerebral accident—apparently a brain hemorrhage—last March 26, just a year after the unexpected death of his wife. He was stricken at the Sheraton Park Hotel where he had been living in the care of his niece, Mrs. Katherine Ethridge of San Antonio, Te., since the death of his wife. Many Recoveries The elderly statesman had suffered and survived many similar blows. Time and again physicians at Bethesda put him "on the critical list," but he would rally after being near death and recover. This time his endurance at long last played out. Word of Hull's death was quickly flashed to the White House and State Department and was relayed to Geneva where President Eisenhower was carrying on the struggle for world peace which was Hull's greatest dream. Hull joined President Roosevelt's cabinet as secretary of state on March 4, 1953. He resigned Nov. 27, 1944, after serving in the No. 1 cabinet post through nearly 12 trouble-tossed years of American history, including most of World War II. Wife's Sudden Death Friends said Hull's fatal illness developed soon after his wife died unexpectedly on March 26, 1954. Her passing was a great shock to Hull, who was in semi-invalid condition at the time and was unable to attend her funeral. Hull had undergone a long siege of illness at Bethesda a year ago. He entered the hospital in May, 1954, when his condition grew worse after years of strokes, stomach allments, respiratory infections, and heart attacks. One physician had said that Hull, who was in and out of the hospital many times, was the only man he had ever known who had "a cat's nine lives." The girl's father, Dr. Charles S. Bryan Jr., signed a formal complaint against the 130-pound tubercular accounting student yesterday, starting the processes that will eventually bring him to trial. Abbott has protested his innocence ever since the first damning piece of evidence linking him to the pretty school girl's disappearance was uncovered in the basement of his Alameda home last week.

Weather Cools Off For Local Residents Anaheim residents drew cool, mountain-like air into their lungs today as the first break came in the searing weather that blasted the Southern California area with 85 and 90 degree temperatures for the last week and a half. Unofficial reading this morning at 10 was 73, eight degrees below yesterday at the same time, but weather yesterday seemed to indicate some change forthcoming, although the noon reading of 81 degrees was only slightly less than Thursday's noon reading of 83. But with clouds, a soft, cool breeze, Anaheim residents relaxed in considerably more comfort. Variable high cloudiness drained over Southern California today and the weatherman reported scattered afternoon thunderstorms in the mountain and interior regions. The thundershower activity which prevailed most of the week in the mountains, was expected to increase Sunday and bring locally heavy precipitation. Fog and low clouds again covered the immediate coast during the early morning but continued throughout. "PLL GET OUT" — Secretary of the Air Force Harold E. Talbott shown in Washington as he told a Senate Investigating Committee he would quit his outside business activities if such action would aid the Air Force. Senate Probers in Secret Meet on Talbott Hassle By HERBERT FOSTER WASHINGTON (UP)—The Senate Investigating Subcommittee split by a furious political row, met behind closed doors today to discuss its investigation of Air Force Secretary Harold E. Talbott. Chairman John L. McClellan (D-Airk) called the meeting after angrily rejecting Republican demands for a session yesterday; pressure for a speedy windup of the inquiry into the relationship of Talbott and his private business partnership with Air Force contracgors. Sen. Karl E. Mundt (R-SD), who led the demand for quick action, said the Talbott case was "too important to sit still on." He said the subcommittee should "go ahead, or close it out." If anyone has any new information we can get our teeth into, we should go into it." Mundt told newsmen. "If not, we should arrive at a conclusion." An informed source said Talbott told the subcommittee yesterday that he wished to change testimony he gave Thursday. This source, who declined to be identified, said Talbott recalled after testifying that he did talk with an attorney for Radio Corbouta contract between RCA and his management engineering firm, Paul B. Mulligan & Co., of New York. He said previously he did not recall the talk. Mundt added new fuel to the dispute raging within the subcommittee.

RESIDENTS HARRASSED Caterpillars Swarm Unabated Over Housing Project on Long Island LEVITTOWN, N.Y. (UP)—Caterpillars swarmed all over this vast Long Island housing project practically unabated today because local officials couldn't agree whose job it is to exterminate them. The villain is hemerocampa leucostigma, a hungry little varmint that is eating just about every bit of greenery in sight, especially tree leaves and shrubbery. The caterpillars also have a habit of getting into houses and crawling all over everything. To top things off, they are constantly falling out of trees and landing on people's heads or inside their open-necked shirts and blouses. One mother complained that she had to put mosquito netting over her child's crib to keep the caterpillars away. Another resident said he was thinking of doing the same thing with his bed. Young lovers complained that the caterpillars were raising cain with outdoor courting. The harried victims of hemero-campa leucostigma turned in desperation Friday to the Agricultural College of Cornell University for a fast method of getting rid of the caterpillars but they still aren't sure who will pay for a massive extermination job. Exterminator Albert Greene said it's useless for a homeowner to take any individual measures because more caterpillars will just wiggle over from the house next door. Dr. Earle Brown, Nassau County Health Commissioner, took the only optimistic attitude. In a few more weeks, he said, the caterpillars will turn into "beautiful butterflies."
