Triple Slaying Held
Murder and Suicide
iy th* As.eciatcd Pmi
STERLING. Cok>., Aug. 24— A
theory of double murder and suicide
was advanced by Deputy Coroner
Robert M. Jackson today in the
deaths of Charles D. Milford, 54
vear-old sugar mill official; his
wife Ethyl. 50, and their 15-year-old
daughter Ruth.
Milford's pa jama-clad body was
found last night, slumped over the
wheel of the family car in the
garage, and the bodies of his wife
and daughter were discovered In
blood-stained bedrooms.
The girl had been struck repeat
edly in the back of the head, Cor
oner Jackson said, and the older
woman had apparently been stran
gled and her throat was slashed.
He said Milford probably died of
carbon monoxide poisoning.
A neighbor, who became curious
at a lack of activity in the home,
discovered the bodies.
A bloody hatchet found in a
washbowl was being forwarded to
day to Denver for fingerprint analy
sis. Mr. Jackson said that while
• all evidence at hand makes it ap
pear a double murder and suicide,”
a lack of blood on Milford's paja
mas prompted the analysis of the
hatchet.
The only clue to the probable time
of the incident was a neighbor's
report that the Milford setter in a
kennel at the rear of the house
barked and howled mournfully about
5 a m. yesterday morning.
Two weeks ago, Mr, Jackson said,
Milford had been treated at a local
; hospital for a nervous condition, but
appeared normal to associates upon
his release.

The transfer of the airport to
the city of Walterboro differed
"fundamentally” from the Thun
derbird and similar actions and
was taken under a different sec

WAA officials said. The deed for
the transfer has been signed at
WAA headquarters here but has not
yet been signed by Walterboro
authorities.
Lease Subject to 3 Conditions.
WAA acted under a section which
authorizes the lease of airport prop

or political subdivisions, subject to
three main conditions:
That the property be maintained
solely and indefinitely as an air
port, that maintenance costs be
paid by the State or local agency
'Plain U. S. Citizen' Puts Chill
On Yugoslav Ice-Maker Deal
If the “freeze-’ is put on a pro

machines to Yugoslavia, it may be
because of a self-styled "plain Amer

William G. Williams. 70-year-old
Washington consulting engineer,
with offices in the Mills Building,
put a chill on the shipment Yester
day with telegrams to the' State
and Treasury Departments, the War

Disturbed by the Yugoslav situa

when he read a story from Cincin
nati that the ice-making machines
were being prepared for shipment
by UNRRA.
Said Mr. Williams:
“I’m tired, but they've got my

The saddest of all is lo part:
For the tongue cannot tell when It utters

And wounds that cannot be healed:
There are sorrows so deep in the human

That they cannot be revealed

CINCINNATI, Aug. 24 UP).—Row- j
land D. Schell, regional director of
the War Assets Administration, said
today he had delayed shipment of 16
ice-making machines to Yugoslavia
“pending a review of the case.” Mr
Schell said he had received no word
from Washington headquarters of
the WAA on the matter, but was
holding up the shipment “to as
certain if better priority claimants
in the United States have need of
them.”
Eighty of the machines, which
originally were intended for use
by American troops in the South
Pacific, are stored at the Marion
<Ohio i engineer depot, Mr. Schell
said, but only 16 of them weie
scheduled for immediate shipment
to Yugoslavia.
The units were purchased by the j
Treasury Department's Procurement
Division for the United Nations Re
lief and Rehabilitation Administra- :

“Our office will delve into this
matter,” Mr. Schell declared, “to
determine whether or not Federal
agencies, veterans, municipalities,
county agencies or the Reconstruc
tion Finance Corp. has need of
them.”
Mr. Schell said he was taking the
action "on my own initiative.”

which takes it over and that 25
per cent of the field be available
at all times for use of the armed
forces.
The Federal Government could
take back such airports at any time
in event of emergency or if the
holder failed to comply with all
conditions of possession and main
tenance.
“It is true that this transfer Is on
a $1 a year lease basis." a WAA
spokesman said of the Walterboro
transaction, “but the city will have
to spend thousands of dollars a year
to maintain the property. Authority
for transfers of this kind is explic
itly given in Section 13 of the sur- j
plus property act and WAA regu
lation 16, for the purpose of encour
aging and fostering development of
civil aviation and strengthening and
improving a Nation-wide network of
civil airports.”
While records were not immedi-!
ately available today, the WAA
spokesman said that at least one
other similar transfer has been
made in recent months. It involved
an airport leased to an Illinois city
near Chicago.
In the list of property transfers
halted last Thursday by WAA were
two deals concerning the Walterboro
airfield. These called for a nominal
rental lease of the Army airbase to
the City of Walterboro and the
County of Colleton, S. C., for hos
pital purposes.
WAA explained today that the
proposed transfer in those cases,
involved the same general airfield
which is being transferred to Walter
boro for airport purposes. The other
transfers, whiclv have been halted,
referred to buildings and similar
facilities at the field. Their use
would have been limited to hospital
purposes.
