Sentimental Butzes Met at Rural Youth Meet By BERNARD BRENNER UPI Farm Editor WASHINGTON Coming back to the Department of Agriculture was a sentimental "homecoming" for Secretary Earl L. Bute and his wife, Mary Emma. the 62-year-old former Purdue University dean whose appointment as secretary touched off a bitter, politically-tinged battle, had been here before as a top official From 1954 through 1957 he served as an assistant secretary of agricul- ture in the controversial Eisenhower Administration regime of Secretary Ezra Taft Benson.

But the sentimental ties go back June of 1930 Lie Tests Planned In Slayings INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) Police plan a series of lie detector tests in the next few days in connection with the triple slaying here last week that may be linked to another killing last March. Officers working on the case may have uncovered a link between the three businessmen found dead in a middle class home here last week and the unsolved slaying of an Indianapolis salesman, whose body was found in Eagle Creek near Zionsville in March. Detectives said John C. Terhorst, 25, the salesman, may have been acquainted with the three found dead. Meanwhile, arrangements for the lie detector tests were underway.

Deputy Chief Ralph Lumpkin of the Indianapolis Police Department said he was making arrangements for the tests last Saturday. Persons to be tested were not identified and Lumpkin said only that they had been previously questioned. Three persons were scheduled today for the tests, which are administered on a voluntary basis only. Suspect Cleared Capt. Raymond Koers, head the homicide and robbery branch of the IPD, said one of the three individuals authorities said were suspects last Friday was cleared of involvement in the deaths.

The investigation began last Wednesday when the bodies of Robert A. Gierse, 35, Robert W. Hinson 27, and James C. Barker, 26, were found in a house where Gierse and Hinson lived on the eastside of Indianapolis. Each man's throat was slashed by a sharp instrument, believed to be a machete-type knife.

An autopsy Friday showed each had been struck several blows on the head. The blows were hard enough to fracture both Hinson and Barker's skulls. However, the autopsy report said death was due to a loss of blood from the throat wounds. Police theorized late in the week that the killer or killers were waiting at the house for the men, who were attacked individually as they arrived. when a young Earl Bute, a Northeast Indiana farm boy, came here as an Indiana delegate to a National 4-H Club encampment and pretty Mary Napoleon Visitors of Mrs.

Emma Powell came as a North Carolina delegate to the same National Rural Youth meeting. Camped in Tents The 4-H delegates were camped in tents on the long grass mall which runs in front of the Agriculture Department headquarters building, but the Sunday of then- arrival was rainy, Butz recalls. So they were ushered into the ground- floor patio of the big building. That evening, a vesper service was held. Sitting around the large fountain in the patio, the young farm boy from Indiana met the 4-H club president from North Carolina.

Seven years later, they were married. Tne Butzes, after more than 30 years ol marriage, retain the ability to kid each other in fact they demonstrated when they appeared together last Friday at a "get acquainted" meeting for hundreds of Agriculture Department em- ployes. Mrs. Butz, called to the microphone by her cabinet sec- cretary-husband, indicated she was pleased by the opportunity. "It's very seldom I get to say a word at home," she quipped, adding that she would try to keep Butz "well and happy so ahead." he can face whatever lies Short Speech The agriculture secretary, when he returned to the podium, replied that was one oi the shortest speeches he had ever heard from his wife.
