Car Keys and Button Offer Clues In Slayings
One week after three Chicago area matrons were found dead in Starved Rock State Park a car keys and an overcoat button emerged as new clues. The keys stamped Windsor Canada and bearing H18 were pulled from melting snow near St Louis canyon amid an extensive, uncertain probe. Police checked a Canadian license plate sighting and a suspected cave cache of stolen guns. Investigators noted a contested film fragment from a victim's camera may show a killer outline, but experts differ. Road blocks remain and authorities press the probe with multiple leads dying for resolution.

Ike Plans For Aged Health Insurance Proposals Studied
Secretary Flemming told the House Ways and Means Committee that the administration has been studying a plan in which federal and state governments would share the major costs of health insurance for the aged. He noted no final financing method, and emphasized states must bear their fair share. The discussion accompanied a broader Social Security reform debate. He outlined three proposed changes: remove the 50 year age requirement for disability benefits, raise survivor child benefits to three quarters of the worker’s amount, and include self employed physicians under Social Security. The plans could raise costs with 1961 estimates and long term effects. Vice President Nixon urged Republicans to offer an alternative to the Democratic plan, while Rep. Forand pressed for a House vote amid committee opposition.
