A mass of cool Canadian air has spilled over the border and is moving southward, touching had already gathered the other six into the rear room. Spiotto said he believed the killer was no stranger to the area of the town house, which served as a dormitory for the student nurses in training at a hospital about a mile away. Miss Amurao told police she never had seen the man before. The autopsy report produced no evidence any of the victims had been molested sexually, according to Coroner Andrew J. Toman.

He'said laboratory tests in Liicr i i Liu nitri i i 11 and past hospital employes, and the hospital put up a $10,000 reward for information leading to the killer's capture. 4 The autopsy report and further examination of the scene of the killings added details as to how each girl met her death.

At St. Louis, where the total of heat-attributed deaths rose to 145 Friday, residents welcomed 90-deeree weather.

Tennessee- had seven heat fatalities. More than an inch of rain fell at several Oklahoma points, some of which reported a drop in temperature of 30 degrees in 30 minutes. Oklahoma City soared to a 107 before the rains came. The top in Texas was 106. Tornado clouds were sighted in southwestern Missouri, northeast Georgia and in north central Kansas.

Severe rainstorms which brought more than three inches of rain swept the Caroli- nas. i Severe thunderstorms Friday evening broke the heat in Atlanta, and at Montgomery, Ala. Three persons were injured in downtown Atlanta, streets were flooded by rain and power lines were downed. Disruption of electric service was widespread. Traffic signals went out, snarling traffic.

1 There were reports at Montgomery of homes being un roofed, carports demolished and cars being blown into ditches. Early morning temperatures ranged from 44 at Lebanon, N.H., to 98 at Blythe, Calif. Ik. CHICAGO (AP) An artist's sketch of the killer who slaughtered eight student nurses has brought a flood of new leads and a burst of new confidence to detectives determined to hunt the man down. "We've been inundated with phone calls, tips and leads since we added the sketch to our de- scription," said Michael Spiotto, deputy chief of detectives.

A police artist sketched the killer's face after closely questioning the only survivor of the town house massacre, who roused from heavy sedation Fri day after the long night of hor- ror. Spiotto said the two-hour in terview was eminpntlv fruitful "Number one, we're confident we're going to get this guy," he said. Number two, we know the girl can identify him." The girl, Corazon Amurao, 23, filled in details missing from her first, hysterical account blurted out to police when she finalJy fled the blood-splattered house of death Thursday at dawn. MYSTERY REMAINS At least one mystery remained, however, and police shed no new light on it after the interview with Miss Amurao: Why were there no loud screams, no outcries for help, during the time the killer bound and gagged the nine girls, herded them into a back and led eight of them out one at a time to their deaths? "There were some light outcries by the girls who came In late, but it wasn't much." Spiotto said Miss Amurao told him. An autopsy report showed the girls had not been drugged to prevent screams.

The parents and other relatives refused fo talk to newsmen after hearing the news.

I Virtually all has been on long-term credit for repayment in Indian products.

The sketch drawn from Miss Amurao's description shows a crew-cut young man with high cheekbones, aquiline nose, jutting chin, narrow-set eyes beneath brows of 'medium thickness, and thin lips. She said he definitely was a white man and that his hair was "somewhere between blond and black." Spiotto said the sketch had triggered scores of leads.

"Nobody organized it. One group would go through and smash windows and not take anything, and other group would come along and loot. One group started up on Roosevelt Road Then word spread and another group got started on 16th Street, and another near 18th Street. It was both kids and; adults." Witnesses agreed that teen agers were involved. Many felt they started smashing windows and induced adults to join in later.

Others believed adults goaded the youths into the spree of violence. In contrast to the pattern in other riots, some Negroes laughed and joked with police as officers cruised by, five to a car, rifles and shotguns pointing skyward out windows. But they showed great respect Senior Estates Underpass Set WOODBURN Work will start shortly on the Oregon 214 underpass which will connect the two portions of the Senior Estates golf course, according to Leo Rush, vice-president of the Senior Estates.

Detectives had picked up about 50 suspects for questioning. None panned out. PRINTS CHECKED Laboratory technicians were checking about 100 fingerprints lifted from the town house. They had to be sorted from the vic tims' own fingerprints and those of their frequent visitors. Chicago's crime lab staff also was sifting possible evidence from eight plastic bags of effects taken from the house blood-stained sheets, clothing and the like.

"Willie, c'mon back here," shouted a mother from her sec ond-floor window. "You don't want to get shot." TEENER WARNED "Better quit that, man," said a Negro teen-ager to a friend who walked, to ward a patrolling guardsman. "They'll fill you full of holes." In a crowded cafe two Negro men got into an argument.

"The kids are doing it just for the hell of it," said one. No, countered another. The whole thing was organized by people whp want to see the black man go under. Something was funny about the whole thing, he said, but he didn't say what it was. "This is awful," said one woman as she stood outside her door looking at the broken glass stretching down the street.

"You can't tell them (the rioters anything. The ministers were out all night last night." She clenched her fist for emphasis. "All night, and look what happened." Several hours later, a lone youth swaggered down a street which guardsmen had at one time sealed off. "You ain't seen nothing yet," he told newsmen. "Wait till the Guard, gets outa here." But for a Negro neighborhood torn by violence, just the day before, his refrain was strangely alone.

LOUIS, Mo. (UPI) Two doctors working in an old street car barn say they have discovered "unequivocal evidence" linking a human virus with cancer.

The link a "viral specific genetic" 1 material or viral messenger is a distinct calling card for particular kinds of cancer, they said. Dr. Maurice Green, director of the St. Louis University Molecular Virology Institute and Dr. Kei Fuginaga said Friday in an article that by looking for these "specific messengers" doctors may be able to tell what caused a specific cancer.

The doctors wrote in the current issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. They said they have been able to isolate comparatively large amounts of a new species of messenger ribonucleic acid (MRNA) and their study shows this specific MRNA is the vital biochemical needed for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) must make to reproduce itself in cancer cells.
