Officials Investigate Auto Tracks in Slaying
Chester, Calif.—(U.P.)-Sheriff's deputies today planned to take auto tires belonging to a suspect in a robbery-massacre to the scene of the crime and match them with three tracks found there.
The authorities announced yesterday that they would make the test on the tires belonging to the suspect, Louis Edmund Blair, 37, Chester theater owner, who is tailed in Reno.
Hair has been held in Reno since Tuesday "for investigation" on the basis of circumstantial evidence given by 3-year-old Sondra Young, the only survivor of the crime which took the life of her father, two sisters, and a 4-year-old playmate.
The father, Gard Young, 43, his daughters, Jean, 7, and Judy 6, and Michael Saile, died of blows from a length of plumbing pipe. The slayers made off with $7,100 in cash which Young had drawn from the bank just before the crime Friday.
The girl suffered head injuries but is expected to furnish more information today.
Blair has steadfastly denied any knowledge of the crime. $ ^{b} $
At a news conference last night, Chester District Attorney Bertram Janes said Blair was "continually changing his story," and "shifting times and events."
One point in Blair's favor was the confirmed report that a latent fingerprint on the murder car's trunk does not belong to him. The victims' bodies were stuffed into the trunk.

Thanksgiving Turkey to Cost Less
Washington— (U.P) —Chances are your Thanksgiving turkey will cost less this year than it has in a long time, in spite of government efforts to strengthen the market.
The Agriculture department has bought up about 600,000 turkeys since August in an attempt to bolster prices received by farmers, which in some cases had fallen below the cost of production.
While the turkey-buying program has brought a "slight improvement" in the market, Agriculture department officials said today, it will have little effect on the retail prices paid by housewives when the nation goes on its annual turkey-feasting spree next month.
Richard C. Larkin, an expert in the agriculture department's poultry branch, said the 1952 turkey supply is about 13 per cent greater than last year.
Although retail turkey prices are expected to climb before Thanksgiving, as they do every year in response to seasonal demand, Mr. Larkin said they are not likely to reach last year's levels.
Officials said the turkeys bought by the government (to be served up to school children under the school program) represent barely a "drop in the bucket" of this year's all-time record crop of 58,956,000 turkeys.
Mr. Larkin said the department
New Orleans — (U,R)— A bright light, apparently caused by a meteor explosion, appeared in the sky here today and state police reported that it could be seen as far away as Shreveport, in the extreme north-west section of the state.
Meteor Explosion Reported in South
Witnesses reported that the explosion occurred at about 4:10 a.m. and reports from Jackson, Miss., said buildings were shaken in Natchez and Summitt, Miss. No sound was heard in Louisiana, nor was there any conclusion.
The light was reported to be intensely white, fading into a brilliant blue around the edges and covered a 60-degree arc in the sky.

will stop buying turkeys whenever farm prices reach a certain level. While that price cannot be named, it is presumed to be near the mark where producers are at least making enough to pay for feed and other production expenses.
Most recent figures show that farmers were getting 31.9 cents a pound for live turkeys in mid-July compared to 35.3 a year earlier. They got 32.6 cents a pound in August compared to 35.3 last year and 33.2 cents a pound in mid-September against the 36.3 cents they got in
September 1951.
September 1957. Thanksgiving buying rush in year, farm prices moved up to average 37.9 cents a pound by mid-November.
Neither the Bureau of Labor Statistics nor the Agriculture department keep records on national average retail turkey prices. But Mr. Larkin said the price of dressed turkeys weighing from 12 to 14 pounds in New York chain stores was 56 cents a pound on Oct. 6. This compares with 63 cents a pound last year.
