Under questioning, however, they admitted they had killed Wnght at his mountain cabin in Jefferson County and buried his body in a rocky grave in Clear Creek Canyon. The pair led officers to the body. At the time, Wooley claimed he shot Wright in the head as the victim lay in his bunk. In Mrs.

Walkers account, however, she claimed she herself shot Wnght and that 'he slaying occurred at his Denver home.

They Wright had befriended U.S. Highway 6-50 when, 144 feet from the bridge, the right wheels left the pavement and traveled on the shoulder of the road until the car smashed into the bridge railing. When the accident was discovered by passing motorists, the wrecked car was positioned perpendicular to the right side nLthe road, blocking almost half bL the highway. Twisted metal and splintered wood were strewn across the pavement and into the wash.

Wooley, who is scheduled to die in the Colorado Penitentiarys gas chamber during the coming week. Executions claime normally are carried out on Friday nights.

Wooley was sentenced to die and his common-law wife, Mary Pearl Walker, 34, was sentenced to life in prison Ybr the 1959 slaying of William Scott Wright, 37, a wealthy Denver bachelor. Mrs. Walker, in a statement given to prison officials last month, claimed she, and not Wooley, shot Wright to death. But McNiehols said in a statement that polygraph (lie detector) tests given both convicted parties reveal they are both lying about this most recent fabrication of facts.

It appeared likely one Soviet reply to the President will be a new series of nuclgar blasts. The official Tass news agency used such words as distdrtion, aggressive action and resembling blackmail to describe Kennedys announcement that the United States will resume atmospheric nuclear tests in April unless the Russians agree to a satisfactory test ban. In this case Kennedy did not risk anything, Tass declared, knowing very well that the Soviet Union rejects the system of inspection proposed by the United States and Britain as completely unacceptable.

ltd not difficult to understand that by the decision to start nuclear tests in the atmosphere, the United States opened wide the doors for a nuclear arms race." Hinting that a new series of tests will be the Soviet reply to Kennedy, the government newspa etliners feet ti ments made by Tass and Izvestia carry in essence the same weight as pronouncements by Pierre Salinger in the White House and Lincoln White in the -State Department. The hard tone has led some important diplomats here to suspect that the Soviet Union is at a point where it must determine whether it will continue to seek adjustment with the West or will swing hard over to the tough line demanded by Red China.

Wanda Hakel and Jim Huff presented a problem which had to be solved by a long-distance phone call to Washington.

Only one winner from the Western Colorado Science Fair, held in Grand Junction Friday and Saturday, was allowed to go to Seattle until the phone call. Because of the tie, a rare coincidence, National Fair authorities said okay to the prospect of a twosome from the Grand Junction area. Wanda, 17, a senior at Central High School, won with a project titled Inhibitory Effects of Peach Wraps on Rhizo-pus Stolonifera. Jim, 16, a junior at Grand Junction High, also took lop honors with his exhibit called the Magic Cube. The annual fair here serves as a qualifying event for the national fair and for the Colo-rado-Wyoming Bi-State Fair in Boulder.

Junior and senior high school science students from Western' Colorado and Eastern Utah and elementary school pupils from District 51 displayed 300 projects in Lincoln Park auditorium.

Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy a triumphant welcome in West Berlin recently. Most of the crowd came in for-mation from nearby factories.

At the busiest intersections they stood two or three deep. Elsewhere there were wide gaps. Near the top of the broad Frankfurter Allee formerly Stalin Allee there were no spectators at all in some places, except the green-uniformed peoples police. On the sidewalk, set back 20 yards from the street, many East Berliners walked up and down looking in shop windows as the procession passed. Those standing at the curb-many of them children had pa-pfer East German and Soviet flags and waved them under the watchful eyes of the police.

The procession was not shown on East German television. Why dont they cheer? i Western reporter asked a by stander, an elderly man in a group of factory workers. The man looked around to see who was watching Cheer1 he asked in a low voice. What have they got to cheer for1 Have you seen the people lining up outside the food stores? To come here and stand in silence is about the only way they have left to show how they feel. So you cant expect a lot of cheers Airplane Missi Near Kremm fl By ALICE WRIGHT Sentinel Staff Writer East Berlin received Soviet Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan in silence Saturday silence so deep it had the appearance of a planned snub.

The Communists drummed up thousands of spectators. But there were far from enough to fill the streets as Mikoyan drove through the city after arriving at Schoene-feld Airport feom Moscow. Mikoyan who also is foreign trade minister, came for the Leipzig Fair. He was accompanied in a closed car by East German Communist chief Walter Ulbricht. Polish Premier Jozef Cyrankiew-icz and Czech Deputy Premier Otakar Simunek followed in another closed car.

There was hardly a sound as the cars drove past. The absence of enthusiasm was so conspicuous, it looked almost like a spontaneous anti-Communist demonstration, although many in the crowd wore Communist party buttons. The Ulbricht regime had called on East Berliners to put out flags and give Mikoyan a hearty welcome. Ulbricht apparently hoped to craft with two persons aboard, one of them a Denver business official, disappeared late Saturday and was believed to have crashed near Kremmling in the central Colorado Rockies. spring toys.

But nothing like this has happened in something like 20 years or more. The gadgets can be pesky in unskilled or mischievous hands, so theyve generally been outlawed during class hours at school. One teacher said the children had been warned that any yoyo visible in class would be confiscated. Teachers havent picked up very many, though. Theres evidence that stringent steps have been taken somewhere, however.

One storekeeper said a customer reported that he had a pocket sewed inside the leg of his blue jeans as a hiding place for his contraband toy. ens during the afternoon. The fcurrent fad started here about two weeks ago, but it had been preceded by a similar craze on the West Coast Theres no doubt its national in scope. The wholesalers stocks have been -depleted. Retailers are having trouble keeping up with the demand.

What triggered the current vogue? One manager hazarded a guess that it was a television program about a month ago. The others had no explanation. How long will it last? Nobody has any idea.

In a demand for the tricky little discs Saturday, hopeful youngsters swamped Grand Junction stores, and had exhausted the stocks by noon. From then on, not a yo-yo was anywhere to be found.
