Search for Killer Shifts to Canada STARVE I) ROCK STATE PARK, 111. (UPI) The manhunt for a sex murder er turned to Canada today with the discovery of a keycase on a pathway leading to the canyon where three society matrons were beaten to death.

State police superintendent William Morris, who found the brown leather, semi-folding case in melting snow beside the pathway, said it was inscribed with the word, "Windsor" and bore a Canadian maple leaf. Authorities here theorized the case, carrying three keys, could have originated in Windsor, Ont. They asked Royal Canadian Mounted Police for help. Morris said the Key case was stamped, "manufactured in Cleveland, Ohio," and the keys appeared to fit a Ford or Mercury automobile. Clues to the sadistic Slav ings sifted into a definite pattern today just one week after the bodies of Mrs.

Lillian Oetting, od, Mrs. Mildred Lindquist, 5u, and Mrs. Frances Murphy, 47, were found in a cave in snow-hushed St. Louis canyon here. The clues included: --The Canadian key ring.

Cuba Levels Blast At Admiral Burke HAVANA (UPI) Cuba's semi-official press has charged that the U. S.

navy and its chief of operations, Adtn. Arleigh A. Burke, are aiding the foes of Premier Fidel Castro. The radical pro-government newspaper La Calle called Burke a "Fascist" Tuesday in an article describing his purported meeting widi anti-Castro Cuban leader Jose E. It said the admiral offered to send submarines to aid a Pedraza-led invasion of Cuba.

Headlines in La Calle also assailed the United States as an ''accomplice of pirate fliers," charging that "anyone who wants to can rent an airplane in Florida to attack Cuba." This was a reference to die light 'plane from Florida that was shot down Monday near Mataiuas. Cuban authorities charged it wa preparing to land and pick up a party of ami-Castro refugees. Howard L. (Swede) Rundquist, of Miami, pilot of the plane, was in a hospital recovering from bullet wounds in die foot and leg. W.

J. slier gales, of West Hollywood, the only other person aboard, was being held at army intelligence headquarters. The pro-government newspaper Revolucion said Tuesday die two Americans will be tried by a "revolutionary tribunal." The plane they were flying was rented at a private airfield in Florida. Rundquist said he and Shergales had been fishing at Salt Key in die British Bahamas and were on their way home when they were shot down. BY HENRI SCHGLP SHARPEN 1LLE, South Africa (UPI) nationalists said today they want to fight back against the police who killed at least 80 of their number Monday but have no weapons.

They debated holding another mass protect meeting against the law, that forces them to carry identity passes, which are not required of whites. Monday's meeting turned into a stone-throwing riot which police supressed w'ith machineguns. The shooting left nearly 300 Africans dead or wounded and prompted the United States to take the unusual step of deploring the violence. The incident, and another shooting in Langa, near Capetown, caused similar protests from London to Moscow and turned world attention to Prime Minister H. F.

"apartheid" a policy of strict racial segregation. Africans here were reluctant to speak to reporters on the street because of the tension still present two days after the killings. It was believed they would abandon their plans for a new meeting because of the danger of police action. But although they asked for arms to fight back, Africans were beginning to make use of another weapon potentially more powerful. Between 30,000 and 40,000 African workers stayed home from plants in the Vanderbijl park and Vereenigin areas near here Tuesday.

Production was slowed or halted. Europeans had to shovel coal to keep the Icor foundry blast furnaces going. In Capetown, African or- ganisers passed out leaflets urging a strike to protest the killing of 12 demonstrators at Langa. It was estimated that per cent of Capetown's Republicans Court Southern Voters (UPI) Republicans will try to steer rebelious Southern Democrats from talk about a third party into an independent movement to support Vice President Richard Nixon, a COP spokesman said today. This prospectus on 1950 Republican efforts in the South was given in an inter-view by Lee Potter, GOP Southern Republican state chairmen in New Orleans last weekend.

Potter said the Southern chairmen were optimistic about I9o0 Republican prospects and expected Nixotx, as die presidential nominee, to better President Eisenhower's record in die South. He said Nixon should North Carolina in addition to the five Dixie states Virginia, Tennessee, Florida, Louisiana and Texas carried by Eisenhower in 1956. KPAxed: BY MICHAEL POSN'ER WASHINGTON Air Force has moved to cure an occupational hazard that lias harrassed fighting men almost as much as bombs and hands. The Air Force issued Tuesday what it considered a historic proclamation. The service said it would tell commanders shortly they could eliminate kitchen police, better known to GIs as KP.

But there was a big apron string attached. The commanders must find enough money in their budgets to hire civil replacements and demonstrate that this is a more economical way of doing the dirty work. INTER-SERVICE SQUABBLE The announcement touched off a new inter-service squabble. vine argument is over which service is ahead in die KP race. GI Joe May A'oir Escape Threat of Dish pan Hands The Army said the Air Force is just following in its footsteps.

A spokesman said the Army quietly authorized elimination of KP last Dec. 28 but with the same money provision as the Air Force. This bit of news may come as a shock to diousands of Army GI's who still are peeling potatoes, washing dishes, scrubbing floors, dishing out food and polishing garbage cans. The conceded diat only two posts has'e taken advantage of the Dec. 28 Sill, and Fort Bliss, Tex, Even there, the spokesman said he was not sure whedier KP was 100 per cent eliminated.

NAVY KP STAYS How about the Navy? It said flatly, "KP will continue in die Navy." African work force was off the job. The Pan Africanist Congress (PAC), which led the protest against the passes here, planned to send groups of five and ten Africans to police stations without passes to invite arrest. A mass march on the station brought on Monday's riots. PAC leaders said the smaller groups would avoid trouble but would be effective as a protest. In Capetown, Tuesday night refused to appoint a judicial commission to investigate the mass killings.

He told Parliament such a commission would serve as a platform for agitators. The opposition United Party, which takes a more liberal line on segregation, had demanded the commission. U.S. Forced to Protest Killings A SUING TON (UPI) American officials said today the United States had no choice but to denounce South African police for slaying Negroes demonstrating against the white supremacy policy. Silence in the face of the killing and wounding of native men, women and children would have severely damaged the moral position of the United States throughout the world, they said.

Officials acKnowieciged, too, that the contest between the United States and the Communists for the sympathy and support of the newly awakened nations of Africa also had much to do with the American statement Tuesday deploring the violence against the Africans. State Department officials were braced for an almost certain protest from the South African- government against the U.S. statement. BY BETTY PRYOR WASHING TON (UPI; -The House was expected to wind up two weeks of civil rights debate today by passing a five-point bill and sending it to the waiting Senate. Rep.

EmanuelCeller (N.Y.), Democratic civil rights leader, said the bill would be passed before sundown "without fail" and with little, if any, change. The bill would safeguard Negro voting rights and outlaw interference with school integration orders in the South. Outnumbered Southerners, fighting to the last to weaken the measure, prepared to offer more amendments before the final vote. The Senate, meanwhile, was expected to vote on a motion to table and thus kill a proposed voting rights amendment by Sens. Joseph S.Clark (D-Pa.) and Jacob K.

Javits But for the 'part the Senate was marking time awaiting the House action. The Clark-Javits proposal, criticized by A try. Gen. William P. Rogers Tuesday, would combine the administration's voting referee plan Dali Slaps Out Abstract Painting as Viewers Duck BY BRUCE AGNbVS NEU YORK (UPI) The eloquent mustache twitched.

Salvador Dali, wearing a green painter's jacket, green pants and a green cap pulled down over his ears, stood shock-still before the bare, nine-foot high white canvas. At his feet were buckets of paint and neat rows of paint tubes. The crowd of about 100 fashionably dressed onlookers in the Berkshire Hotel's plush new- Barberry Room hushed. Dali had promised to paint- in a mere 20 minutes his impression of Bouguereau's "Nymphs and Satyr," a 19th Century painting of four nude nymphs trying to lead a resisting satyr astray. He actually was about to paint his abstract impression in only 10 minutes.

Dali stepped back, glanced at his assistant, and pointed imperiously with his cane. The assistant handed him a long- handled signpainter's brush. PAINT SPLATTERS The master siezed the brush, splashed it in a knee- high bucket of black paint, and smashed it against his canvas. Black paint splattered over the white surface. It also splattered over the ceiling, a slim column behind the easel, and a tall blonde who had edged in too close.

The onlookers, including such celebrities as Perle Mesta, Joan Crawford, Peter Lind Hayes, Mary Healy, Ar- DALI Famed painter Salvador Dali daubs paint on his head at Berkshire Hotel New York Tuesday while at work on his abstract impression of Bouguereau's "Nymphs and Satyr."

Dali took a piece of cheesecloth and began spreading die black paint.

It looked like a finger painting by a precocious first grader. Working hectically, with his assistant handing him the tools, he swirled black and white paint onto the canvas straight from the tube, shaped it with his rubber-gloved fingers, and smeared gobs of black on svith his hands. "Dali is reproducing a Dalian abstract version of the nymphs," explained Dr. Saul Colin, of New York, who described himself as Dali's theatrical adviser. "This is a moment of work not a joke." APPLIES TACKS Dali squeezed out stripes of black, yellow and green paint on his arm, his chest and his cap.

"I don't understand this sort of thing," a woman said to her escort, "but you mustn't calk like that, 1-elix." Dali pressed his head, arm and chest to the canvas. His assistant pouted him a handful of carpet tacks, and Dali lovingly applied them to the central smear. Then he cupped his hands, plunged them into the bucket of black paint, and splashed on his final touch. Dali's "Nymphs and Satyr" was completed. "This never would have been possible without the assistant," said the assistant, painter and designer Rene D'Auriac.

The hosts of the party, Cleveland Amory and Earl Blackwell, looked pleased. Explaining his painting, Dali printed in misspelled French and Spanish," "Bouguereauis the opposite of Cezanne. He is a prophet like Claude Monet was of the informal abstract art of today." Then he grandly made his exit. with a system -f federal enrollment proposed by Sen. Thomas (..

Jr. Rogers wrote oer.ate GO? Leader Everett Dirkser. (111.) that the Clark -Javm proposal was "worthless" and "ineffective" and had die "fatal illness" of being unenforceable. The House stamped its approval on die most controversial part in its bill die administration's pi an for court-appointed referees to protect Negroes' rights to vote in all elections. The referee plan was added to a civil rights bill by a vote of 199 to 104.

The House accepted one amendment to strengthen the administration proposal and defeated a string of attempts by southerners and conservative Republicans to weaken it. In addition to die referee plan, the bill contains a milder version of President Eisenhower's civil rights program. Other points would: --Require local officials to preserve election records for two years and permit federal inspection of diem. it a federal crime to obstruct school integration orders by threats or force. --Add federal penalties for fleeing across state lines to avoid prosecution for bombing, any building or vehicle.

--Provide schooling for servicemen's children when their public schools are closed in integration disputes. Nikita Lands in France BY HENRY SHAPIRO PARIS (UPI) Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev arrived smiling and bareheaded in Paris today to start an 11-day state visit under protection of the greatest security force in modern French history. President Charles de Gaulle, towering over bhe diminutive Soviet chief government whose bald pate glistened in the bright morning sun, greeted the visitor at Orly Airport. Almost the first words from Khrushchev's mouth were a tribute to de Gaulle's wartime resistance leadership. The two men shook hands firmly as Khrushchev expressed his pleasure at meeting the man "who did not bow his head before the oc- cupationists." Airport ceremonies preceding a formal motorcade into the city were colorful and noisy, De Gaulle, accompanied by Premier Michel Debre and other high French officials, walked to the end of the long red carpet to where the plane taxied into position.

A republican Guards band struck up ruffles and flourishes and Khrushchev appeared in the plane doorway. Mrs. Khrushchev came tv- tund her husband down the ramp and following his lead shook hands with de Gaulle and others. About 2,000 persons greeted the Soviet leader from the top of the airport building. Many waved red flags and shouted "Vive Khrushchev.".
