14-Year-Old
Slayer Charged
With 2 Murders
OAKLAND, Calif., (IP)— Two
more murder charges were to be
filed today against Donald Arceo,
14, who told police he killed his
parents because “father was too
strict.”
District attorney Frank Coakley
said he would file the charges.
California law forbids the death
penalty for anyone under 18, but
Donald could be sentenced to life
imprisonment if convicted.
Police inspector Merele Long
necker said Donald confessed:
“I knew what I was doing.
Father was trying to bring me up
the way his father brought him
up. I thought I was living in a
different age/’
Donald said his father, John
Arceo, 37, objected to his friends
and to his seeing movies. Arceo,
an auxiliary policeman, and his
wife, Dorothy, 31, were slain
while watching television Sunday.

The joint chiefs of staff have

the two already there.
Clay said he saw no reason to
either overestimate or underesti

“I am convinced, he said, ‘That
forces can toe ready in a year that
will make aggression seem un
profitable if we pursue the pres- j

Clay said the Russians will

Any attempt to fax “a mathe

recent gains in morale and efforts
by Europeans.
