CourUr News Friday, July 13, IN CHICAGO MASS MURDERS NURSE, POLICE PIECE ORGY 1 mYF.ROSENTHAL CHICAGO (AP) Police hoped a petite Filipino girl would be well enough today to terf them the details of the night oflhorror when eight Of her girl friends were butchered. Her daik, wide-set eyes, first beheld the nightmare she was too hysterical to give a co- hejent account. Corazon Amurao, 23, an exchange student, is the only witness and survivor of the slaughter during Wednesday night of eight student nurses In a town house that served as a dormitory. She was heavily sedated after giving a fragmentary account of the night. Her story, a Sweat-soaked man's undershirt, and the splashed, clothing-strewn house full of fingerprints were the pitifully meager leads.

nurses were slain one by one by strangling, stabbing or2 bofli. One girl's windpipe, carotid artery and jugular vein were cut. Tests to find if the gifts were sexually molested were incomplete, although one girl was naked and five others in-various stages of undress. i'We've got a subanimal here," said Police Cmdr. Francis Flanagan of the killer.

"I've never seen anything more horrible than this." Miss Amurao escaped the Jliss Amurao escaped the massacre by rolling under a bad. She lay there, unmdving, until 5 a.m, when the ringing of the noise might have frightened away the murderer, she waited another 20 minutes or so, then wriggled free from strips Of bed sheeting with which she had been bound. She stumbled to a second-floor bedroom window and burst outside to a ledge, screaming for help. Police talked to Miss Amurao or an hour, but she was so hysterical that doctors cut off the questioning. Only the girl and the killer mow the answers to these ques116ns: What did the intruder look like? How did he enter? Leave? How did he conduct the mass slaughter without neighbors hearing even a single outcry? -Why did Miss Amurao, cowering a few yards away, hear no scream? 'that's what's giving us a tough time," Flanagan said.

"She seems to have totally lost recall from the time she went under the bed." From the girl's fragmentary account, police searched for a man with short, probably crew- cut hair, slender and about six feet tall.

RIOT (Continued turn Page fat) some rain which brought relief after several days of hot weather had been expected to keep the disturbances at a minimum. But as the night wore On the coolness disappeared and left only the humidity from the rain. Unmarked squad cars containing four or fivt plainclothes Negro detectives roamed the wide area from Halsted Street to Pulaski Road, and from Roosevelt Road to Lake Street.

Bands of Negro youths ran from store to Store on Rosevelt Road breaking windows and pulling down large metal folding gates to get at the loot. At a shoe store, a dozen squad cars converged on three Negroes as they attempted to flee with loot. In a flurry of gunfire, one of the Negroes was wounded in the side. The other two were arrested and handcuffed together in the rear of a squad car. As the violence increased And ihooting became more widespread, police vehicles were recalled to their Stations and loaded with boxes of fresh ammunition.

heavily loaded cars raced back to hot spots. On foot, policemen carrying carbines held chest high marched down Side streets and nialti streets ordering: "Clear the arta or ybu'il be arrested." At the corner or Roosevelt and Sawyer Avenue, police Crouched behind their vehicles as dozens of newsmen and shots scattered residents. Then on Ordef they charged down Sawyer, shooting as they went, mostly in the air. It was in this foray that Capt. Nolan was shftt in the back.

As squad car radios crackled with calls f6r morfe police at disturbance points, the vehicles, containing as many as six officers, roared down streets through a barrage of bottles, bricks and rubbish. Glass covered streets and sidewalks. Negro snipers fired at police from rooftops as the officers knelt in the broken glass and debris, trying to shield themselves while they returned the fire. The Sear Community Bank in the heart of the disturbance area was ringed with heavily armed policemen and Sears employes wearing helmets and looking warily up and down Homan Avenue. Traffic in the area never stopped during the disturbances, although police rerouted cars from several main arteries.

In one incident, a group of policemen charged a three-story apartment building where three gun blasts were observed. A newsman estimated at least 100 shots were fired by police. Windows were shattered in the building, but although several persons were in the building, no one was hurt. Shortly before midnight, Negro policemen carrying rifles ordered scattered bands of people off the streets. When the residents were slow to move or spoke back sharply to the officers, they were arrested.

Buses and elevated cars on Lake Street were halted while police attemptel to root out snipers. After a search of buildings in the area, the shooting ended, but police found no weapons. ht two each room," ht said, "can you Imagine the thoughts they must have had?"

I'm the only one dive." The first policeman to enter the house was Patrolman Daniel R. Kelly, 25, who had dated Miss Davy several years age-.

"I walked into the kitchen but didn't see anything there," he said. "Then I walked into the front room and I found a body on the couch." It was that of Miss Davy. "It was indescribable, the worst thing I ever saw. It sickened me. She was on her face.

I turned her over and I knew her. My wife is a nurse at the hospital." The hospital is seven blocks away.

Eight student nurses lived in the unit next door and nine in the third unit. In a city where homicides occur on an average of one a day, Jeffery Manor had enjoyed unusual freedom from crimes of violence. It has more bicycle thefts than muggings.

The area is considered industrial, but with modern, comfortable lornes for the middle-income people who work in it. Its residents were dazed by the tragedy.

Surveyor may be electronically dead, but scientists at Jet Propulsion Laboratory are not certain. They will wait three weeks before writing an official end for the craft, which sent 11,150 pictures back from the moon.

The 620 pflund Surveybr was the first of a seven-shot series that exceeded the fondest hopes for success. It made the first successful soft landing on the moon June 1, briskly photographed itself before focusing on its surroundings, survived the 260-degree temperature of the lunar day and endured its first 14-day lunar night at minus-260 degrees to send a second series of pictures.

Courses such as college algebra, freshmen English, history, sociology and political science will be offered for $20 per semester hour. This means, the dean said, a three-hour course would cost $60 and would take 16 weeks to complete. He said the courses would be taught by local teachers who have a master's degree in their field.

They would be paid by the Extension Division at the rate of $600 per 16-week course. The dean's contention, which was well received by the group, was that students, area employers and the school systems would benefit. The lure of an extra $1,200 per year would attract more teachers holding master's degrees and the business element would notice an upgrading of employes, he said.
