Police continue report in Tunney murder case
CHESHAM, England (UPI) A magistrate court Wednesday ordered Joan Tunney Wilkinson held in custody for another week while police continue their report on charges she murdered her husband.
Mrs. Wilkinson, daughter of former heavyweight boxing champion Gene Tunney, stood in the docket during the brief preliminary hearing. She showed no outward signs of emotion.
A police inspector told the court that police needed until April 15 to complete their formal report on the charges and that detectives needed time to continue their investigations.
Mrs. Wilkinson, 30, was arrested March 29, and charged with murdering her 31-year-old husband, Lynn Carter Wilkinson, in their three-room cottage outside London.
The dark-haired mother of two daughters was formally charged with murder March 31.
Police have declined to comment on motive or the weapon. Police sources said earlier Wilkinson died of head injuries.

Victor A. Koelzer, head of the engineering and environmental sciences staff for the National Water Commission, will speak at 10:30 a.m. in the Council Room at the Kansas Union.
Koelzer's staff, said John McNown, professor of civil engineering at the University of Kansas and host of the guest lecture, supports the commission's role in national water resources policy and action, especially and consideration of water problems and their relationship to the total environment.
Prof urges trust of students
Eagleton added, "I believe, and the Kansas City authority believes, that the essential responsibility for subsidizing urban public transportation lies with the state and local governments."
Wright spoke of a number of people who thought that action by a small group of people is futile. He said his response to them would be to ask them if they were really aware of all the efforts of the KU people to make KU a "real learning experience."
Wright made the statement and several others relating to Wednesday's strike in his 12:30 human development class, which was open to any person who wished to come and voice his opinion on Wednesday's activities.
The legislature must learn that the students can be trusted and that this is the foundation on which a good university can be built—and a far better one than they could build themselves, said John Wright, professor of human development, in Hoch Auditorium Wednesday.
Wright mentioned that he had never particularly agreed with some campus leaders, but that he had learned to listen to them. He said he felt that there was a large group of serious, concerned people who were trying to communicate on a meaningful level at KU.
He urged students to take a good look at the University and then to decide if KU was really trying to repress intellectual curiosity.
Several students gave brief talks, nearly all in support of the thrust of the strike, but some stressing the need for nonviolent activities.
The bill to provide grants to help put off costs of servicing debts could be "of significant assistance in St. Louis," Eagleton said. But in Kansas City, the bill could only be "of peripheral assistance."
Kansas City public transit needs subsidy says senator
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Public transportation in Kansas City, Mo., "cannot survive without some form of operating subsidy," Sen. Thomas F. Eagleton, D-Mo., said Wednesday.
Kansas City's system has had to put in a 50-cent fare, Eagleton said, "an intolerable burden on those persons—primarily the aged, the handicapped, and the poor—who must rely on public transportation."
Eagleton testified to a Senate subcommittee on housing and urban affairs, concerning proposals for emergency federal help for urban public transit systems.

The fare is unfortunate in two respects, he said—it "is merely a
