Beach House Rented
With Welfare Checks
Two Girls
Found Slain
By BARRY PARKER
BILOXI, Miss. (UPl)—Police
pressed the search today for
the killer of two girls whose
nude and gagged bodies were
found In a beach house they
rented with welfare checks.
“This Is the most brutal mur
der I have ever seen,” said po
lice Chief Louis Rosetti.
The girls, Suzanna M. Shep
herd, 19, of Orange Grove, and
Katherine J. Waggoner, 20, of
Wool Market, both villages near
Biloxi, were bludgeoned to
death, apparently with a blunt
instrument.
Tne bodies were discovered
Wednesday when Miss Shop
herd’s little brother, David, 3,
appeared at a neighbor’s house
in bloodstained clothing to re
port that “sister’s dead,” police
said.
Officers, entering the four
room frame house about a half
block from the Gulf of Mexico,
found Miss Shepherd on the
floor of one bedroom and Miss
Waggoner on the bed In another
bedroom. Both were nude and
gagged, but there was no Indi
cation they had been bound.
An autopsy was performed tc
determine whether the girls had
been sexually molested.
The killer apparently entered
the house through the bathroom
window after 1 a.m., the last
time a neighbor reported seeing
one of the girls.

‘Torture Chamber’
Tests Telephones
ROCHESTER, N. Y. (UPI)-
“Torture chamber” equipment
designed to test telephones made
by Stromberg-Carlson Corpora
tion, a subsidiary of General
Dynamics, sometimes spins a
single telephone dial as many
as a million times. Nearly a
month of non-stop dialing is
required to complete the test.
The endurance run is equal
to 142,800 local calls or 90,900
direct distance dialings. If a
telephone subscriber were to
make 10 local calls a day every
day of the year, it would take
him 40 years to equal the fig
ure.

If so, brighten them with a

any time after danger of frost is
past.

Nixon In Mid - Pacific
To Greet Astronauts
By MERRIMAN SMITH
UPI White House Reporter
ABOARD THE USS ARLING
TON (UPl).—President Nixon
flew to the mid-Paclflc today to
welcome America's moon men
back home to earth.
Confident that astronauts Nell
A. Armstrong, Edwin E. Aldrin
Jr., and Michael Collins “are
going to make the splashdown
all right,” Nixon rested over
night aboard ship before flying
to the recovery carrier USS
Hornet to watch the return of
Apollo 11 from the bridge.
Nixon reached the Arlington
at 12:38 p.m. EDT and spoke
briefly to the crew of the
communication ship.
The public address system
failed and the President raised
his voice although few of the
hundreds of white-clad sailors
on deck could hear him,
Capt. Hugh D. Murphree of
the Arlington escorted the
President around the flight
deck then to a suite aboard the
vessel. Nixon had dinner with
the command officers of the
ship.
Arrives By Helicopter
Nixon arrived by Marine
helicopter at a point 900 miles
southwest of Hawaii.
When the astronauts come
aboard the Hornet In the early
afternoon, the President will
congratulate the space heros
before continuing an 11-day tour
that will take him to seven
countries, including Communist
Romania.
During his flight from San
Francisco to Johnston Island In
the Pacific Wednesday, Nixon
recalled that he had been to the
side the window and the screen
to the window was out,” Rosetti
said.
The Shepherd boy, who neigh
bors said spent three nights a
week with the two girls, “might
have slept through the whole
thing," the chief said. “He
didn’t tell us anything about
what happened.”
Nothing Unusual
Rosetti said there was no
sign of a struggle in the house
and neighbors heard no
screams or unusual noises.
The girls, daughters of re
tired Air Force sergeants, were
described by neighbors as “at
tractive, likable and quiet.”
Landlord Leroy Smith said
the brunettes were “sweet
mannered, soft-spoken and so
quiet you didn't even know
they were there.”
The girls rented the house
two months ago. Smith said,
and Miss Waggoner paid the
SBS monthly rent with welfare
checks from Gulfport. She had
worked about a month in a bar,
but quit last Sunday.

years ago.
After his arrival at Johnston,
the President immediately
boarded a helicopter for the
two-hour flight to the communi
cations cruiser USS Arlington.
The weather began to turn
foul late Wednesday with
scattered thunderstorms In the
main recovery area chosen for
the splashdown of the Apollo 11
capsule and its three crewmen.
Landing Site Shifted
The landing site was shifted
247 miles, to a point about 241
miles southeast of Johnston, but
NASA officials said the change
posed no great problem for the
astronauts or the Hornet.
Mrs. Nixon, radiant with
“that aloha feeling,” stayed in
Hawaii while her husband was
waiting for the astronauts to
return home. When asked why
she was not going to be aboard
the Hornet with Nixon, she said
"because I wasn't invited. I
usually miss the goodies.”
After speaking to Armstrong,
Aldrin and Collins on the
Hornet, the President will fly to
Guam where he will be Joined
by his wife.
Nixon Is scheduled to visit the
Philippines, Indonesia, Thai
land, India, Pakistan, Romania
and Great Britain before
returning to Washington on the
evening of Aug. 3.
First Visit
The trip to Bucharest,
Romania, where Nixon will
meet with President Nicolae
Ceausescu, will be the first visit
by an American president to a
Communist nation since World
War 11. President Franklin D.
Roosevelt met the late Soviet
dictator Josef Stalin at Yalta in

Thursday, July 24, 1969
1945.
Just before departing San
Francisco Wednesday, the Nix-*
ons went on a slow and bumpy
cable car ride up and down the
city’s famed hills. The Pres
ident stood on the outside *
running board of the quaint car
riding it for about three miles
to the end of the line near
Fisherman’s Wharf. a
On the plane trip to Johnston
Island, Nixon told reporters he
enjoyed the cable car ride and
said San Francisco was so •
colorful because of the great
diversity of nationalities.
Speculation continued that
Nixon would make a surprise
stop In South Vietnam, but the
White House said there were no
such plans “at present.”
Because of the security
situation, should Nixon add a
Vietnam stop. It would not bs
announced In advance and the >
public would probably not learn
of It until after the fact.
