Advertising Pays AREA SLAYING INVESTIGATION AT STANDSTILL Paulding authorities admitted today (Wednesday their investigation of the rape-slaying of 14- year-old Nancy Eagleson vvns "pretty well at a standstill." Sheriff John Kceler and law enforcement officers from throe counties literally combed the area Tuesday, talking to everybody available in an effort to net clues to the abduction Sunday night. The victim was forced into a car as she walked homo from a movie with her 5-year-old sister, Sheryl. The younger gril sounded the alarm, running to a neighbor's home sobbing that a man in a "big car" grabbed her sister.

Nancy's body was found by two coon hunters, Joseph Au France, 38, and Kenneth Nelson, 43, of Paulding, in a lonely wooded area eight miles northeast, of the Eagleson home. Undergarments were 1 found near the body. A small caliber bullet wound in the head had brought death to the sexually assaulted girl. Car tire tracks in the loaves were virtually valueless. Several strands of Nancy's long blonde hair wore found on limbs or shrubs near the body, bearing mute testimony of the girl's struggle in her last moments of life.

The only witness investigators have been able to find to date is Sheryl, and the five-year-old child remembers only that it was "a man in a big car wearing horn-rimmed glasses that got my sister." Nancy's body was taken to Ft. Wayne where an autopsy showed she had been molested then shot, presumably with a .22 caliber pistol, through the head. One official said a "list of possible suspects" was compiled by Sheriff Keeler, Pruilding village police and Ohio Highway Patrol investigators. These persons, the spokesman said, would be checked out as to their whereabouts Sunday night. In Paulding itself, grief, anger and fear found expression in the streets around the square where the county court house stands.

people said they believed "it was someone who lives in this area," All referred time and again to the isolated spot where into open the body was found. "Only a man who knew this area well would have taken Nancy there." one woman said. Strangers driving alone Paulding were objects of suspicion. The village of '-300 Persons seemed under strain. Other wondered if it were possible the crime was committed by man, traveling cross-country.

Those who subscribed to the latter theory cited the similarities beween the slaying of the teenager in Paulding and the assult- Saturday of it-year-old Gloria Knwalewicr. in Chicago. In esich case, Hie victim was assaulted, shot in the bend and the body left in a wntxled area with no attempt to conceal it. ASC Reminder On Wheat Acreage With the measurement of winter wheat acreage under way in Ohio, Chairman Ted E. Rupert of the Ohio Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee (Wednesday) reminded wheat growers who arc found to have excess acreage at this time of the effect that this may have on t'heir future whi'at.

allotments. "If you are out. of compliance with your lillil wheat, allotment and remain out of compliance," Rupert said, "your farm generally will be credited with the allotment only as your wheat history for 19G1, which is used iu determining future allr.tiuents. "However, you want to bo. credited with your base wheat, acreage (farm wheat acreage allotment plus the acreage considered diverted from wheat) for 1901, there are two ways you can accomplish this.

One is to dispose of your excess acreage before a deadline date in advance of harv- vest that will be announced later. "The other, if your wheat acreage is more tlian 15 acres and the normal production of your acreage is 200 bushels or more, is to store your excess wheat or deliver it, to the Secretary of Agriculture. You then get credit for the full base wheat acreage, although if you later would be cut back to the allotment only. "If you have, any questions concerning the manner in which these provisions apply to your farm, we suggest that you get in touch with your ASC county office."
