SUNDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1965 Student Charged With 'Murder By The Book' LOS ANGELES (AP) The homicide detective read a para- I graph from a novel in which murder is committed: "Every nerve in my body was a steel spring, and my grip closed on the revolver. The trig- ger gave, and the smooth under- belly of the butt jogged my palm. And so, with that crisp, whiperack sound. it all began." And so, police Lt. Earl A. Deemer said Friday it also be- gan for Wayne Lee Welch, 18- year-old philosophy student. It ended, said Deemer, in the snip- er killing of two men, for which Welch is charged with murder. The novel was "The Stran- ger," by Albert Camus, re- quired reading for Welch in jun- ior college. Deemer, after questioning Welch, said: "He told me he got the idea from this book. He made up his mind he wanted to commit a murder." The tedious investigation of the apparently motiveless slay- ings started last Aug. 12, when John M. Kimball, 57, and Ale- jandro Lopez Montez, 51, truck- ing firm workers, were shot down in their employer's park- ing lot. Officers checked every em- ploye of the firm, then turned to part-time workers. Welch was one of them. He was questioned and released. Then, police said. they traced the murder weapon, a rifle, to Welch. He was arrest- ed Tuesday. Deemer said that under inter- rogation Welch spoke freely of existential- his literary tastes ism and the French poets Bau- delaire and Rimbaud. "When he finally did admit the murders he mentioned that he was inspired by Camus," the police officer said. The detective quoted Welch as saying he did not know the vic- tims. He said Welch told him he had purchased a 308-caliber ri- fle for $100 a few days before the shootings. Welch, a Cerritos Junior Col- lege freshman who lives in sub- urban Downey, was held with- out bail for a preliminary hear. ing Oct. 18. we're out of breath over the wild new wonder of pants...

Indonesian Army Reported Expanding Anti-Red Campaign KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) Radio Malaysia said Saturday the Indonesian army's anti-Communist campaign is spreading from Java, showing up in both the Celebes to the east and Sumatra to the west. Prime Minister Abdul Rah- man of Malaysia, harassed eco- nomically and militarily for months by its big island neigh- bor, suggested that Indonesian President Sukarno will lose a golden opportunity if he fails to oust the Communists now. "I think the tide is turning in our favor," Rahman said in a dinner speech at Ipoh, about 100 miles north of Kuala Lumpur. "As if in answer to our pray- ers, the Indonesian people have now realized that the real ene- my of Indonesia is not Western imperialists or Malaysia, but rather the Communist imperial- ists whose plan is to dominate Southeast Asia." Broadcasts by the army-con- trolled radio station in Jakarta told of sidelights from the abor tive leftist coup last weekend: - Gen. Abdul Haris Nasution, the defense minister and armed forces chief, has taken direct charge for the time being of In- donesia's official news agency Antara. The army suspended the agency's operations a week ago on the ground it was infil- trated by Communists. Government forces uncov- ered a rebel cache of 234 rifles near the Halim air base on Ja karta's outskirts, where a com mon grave previously yielded the mutilated bodies of six army generals. A seventh general, Brig. Gen. Samusi of the national police, was another victim of the rebellion. Reporting on a previously undisclosed incident, the radio said he was killed sav ing the life of Deputy Premier Johannes Leimena Oct. 1. The Malaysian government radio account said Moslems and the National party in the Cel- ebes, following the lead of Ja- karta demonstrators, demanded that the Indonesian Communist party-PKI-and its affiliates be banned as an aftermath of the uprising. The PKI, whose Jakarta headquarters were burned by a youthful mob Friday, has de- nied it was involved and called the plot "an internal affair of the army." Sukarno has given no sign that he intends to turn against his Red friends, whose support he has welcomed and encour- aged in the past. He has urged that there be no revenge. PAGE THREE
