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.

to a party and create your own crowded corner, wear them wherever the action is-you couldn't look bet-
ter! This year pants are figure-following, motion marvelous, style-conscious. They fall straight, bell at the
bottom, stand straight-stemmed or wide-legged. They're kickier, slimmer, more flattering than the tight-and-
tapered type (which incidentally are passe). Pants fall just below the ankle or even with it, some have
bands at the waist or are slung-low waistbandless or with wide, wonderful ranger belts. There are proportion-
ed lengths for everybody-petite to tall-fabrics that stretch horizontally and vertically, zippers that accent
or remain hidden! The fabrics include everything from the softest velvet to wool flannel to stretch nylon to
double wool knit to velour to glittering new fabrics. Pants are on the horizon now, and really the view

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.
