SOUGHT—Mrs. Doris Cook, wife of Richard Miller Cook of Maywood, Calif., is being sought by a searching party near Riverside, Calif. Her husband was found slain yesterday, their baby playing beside their auto. (Associated Press Photo) RIVERSIDE (AP) — Planes and posses combed lonely, brush-covered country south of here today in a fearful search for the young mother of an eight months old baby found playing happily beside the dead body of his father. Officers expressed the growing fear that Doris Cook, 18, had been slain by the same killer who yesterday shot to death her husband, Richard Miller Cook, also 18, but left their baby, Phillip, unharmed. The pretty young mother vanished without a trace. Officers concentrated their search in ravines which honeycomb the Lake Matthews area, meanwhile questioning an Air Force sergeant picked up for investigation last night. Lawrence J. Walker, 20, a Negro stationed at March Air Base near here, was booked on suspicion of carrying a concealed weapon—a .45 caliber pistol. Sheriff's Captain Don Schrader said bumper bolts found at the scene of the tragedy matched those on Walker's car. Cook's auto, parked near his body, had a dented and torn fender, as though another machine had sideswiped it and forced it off the road. Schrader said Walker was arrested as police patrolled the city, searching for a car with damaged right fender. They found Walker's automobile fender was smashed in an accident in Hollywood last week. The slain man's father, Harold Cook, said his son, daughter-in-law, Doris, also 18, and their baby, born last July, left his home at the little town of Nuevo about 10:30 a.m., yesterday. They were headed for Los Angeles, where young Cook does maintenance work at an Aluminum Company of America plant. The elder Cook said the young couple were devoted and lived a quiet life. Mrs. Cook's mother, Mrs. C. J. Trask of Sunnymead, near Nuevo, emphasized that if her daughter left the baby, "it had to be done by force." Officers said Cook was slain (Continued on Page 8) Demaree, Students On Tape Recording Volces of Supt. Paul H.

Cook's auto, parked near his body, had a dented and torn fender, as though another machine had sideswiped it and forced it off the road. Schrader said Walker was arrested as police patrolled the city, searching for a car with damaged right fender. They found Walker's car, which answered this description, in a garage being repaired. It had smears of green paint on the damaged fender, officers said. Cook's car was green. Walker told investigators his Anaheim Y's Men Hear Hypnotist An impressive demonstration in the art of hypnotism by psychology student Wes Bose provided the entertainment of the evening at the regular meeting of the Anaheim Y's Men club held last night at Mother's Kitchen. Bose, an Anaheim resident, described what hypnotism is and is not for clubmen, then, with the assistance of Ethel Stone, Fullerton JC student, put on a demonstration covering deep and shallow states of hypnosis, posthypotic suggestion, split-personality, age regression, etc. Twenty-one members and four guests were present. The club elected a new board of directors at the meeting, hanning Larry Hopkins, Ben Switzler, W. H. Sparks, Clarence Mauernan and Bud Harris, President Dave S. Collins presided. Brodie Trial Set for April 12 Jury trial of Barnes Brodie, Anaheim electrical contractor, on charges of disturbing the peace has been continued until April 12 by Judge L. P. Bonnat of City Court. Brodie was charged with disturbing the peace following an altercation with Charles Kawaja, proprietor of the Nida Gift shop, in which Brodie allegedly threatened bodily harm to Kawaja after the latter had deposited rubbish for pick-up in the parking area back of Brodie's store. Anaheim Elks Recent purchase by the Anaheim Elks club of 1000 cots which were turned over to the county civil defense organization for disaster emergency use was strongly praised today in a statement from civil defense headquarters in Santa Ana. The contribution of such "vital" equipment costing several thousand dollars, "is to be highly commended" and demonstrates the interest of the Anaheim Elks club in civil defense and disaster relief, the statement said.

Collier, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Collier, 711 N. Zeyn st., Anaheim, returned March 22 to the U.S. with the second of the Marine Corps' rotation shipments. He is visiting with his wife and daughter in the home of his parents. Collier was one of 1500 Marines who came home on the USS General Randall. Also on the ship were 57 of the U.S. war dead, brought back home for burial. Collier said impressive services for the dead were held both in Yokohama, before sailing, and in Oakland, where the ship docked. Collier is a professional soldier who looks on all volunteer service-men as men pursuing a career. "When you look at it like that," he said, "you don't expect much credit or glory for your fighting. So it came as quite a surprise to us when Oakland turned out and gave us a rousing welcome." "Rousing" is the word for it. The ship was met at the dock in Oakland by throngs of people and a band. When the Marines had debarked they were loaded into approximately 300 convertible cars and paraded through downtown Oakland, according to Collier. When the parade was over, drivers of the cars put themselves at three miles north of the parallel on the east coast. No heavy fighting.

An American division staff officer said he did not believe the Chinese would put up another major stand south of Parallel AU. But he added: "I think if we hit them above the parallel we'll find them fighting like sons of guns." Elements of six Chinese armies were reported massing just north of the border.
