Two Americans
Slain In West Java
JAKARTA, U. S. I. (TP)—A Yale
professor and an American cor
respondent were slain yesterday
in West Java—the apparent vic
tims of a murderous gang whose
motives could not be determined.
The two were Prof. Raymond
Kennedy, 43, of Yale University,
a noted sociologist known to his
students as “Jungle Jim” because
of his urge to explore remote
places, and Robert Doyle, 30, a na
tive of Chicago, who worked for
Time and Life Magazines out of
Hong Kong.
A spokesman for the American j
embassy said the two were killed
0
on a paved highway near Tomo.
This is in a beautiful mountainous !
area where fanatical guerrilla
bands were active during the
Duteh-Indonesian warfare. There
was an indication the bodies may
have been mutilated.
The road has been considered
safe for daytime travel in recent
months but most foreigners do
not venture along it at night. The
road winds through tea and rub
ber estates and rice paddies thick
ly populated with natives.
The two left Jakarta Wednes
day for Jogjakarta, capital of the
Indonesian Republic. They spent
the night along the road and had
hoped to make Jogjakarta by last
night.
There was no official account of
what happened.
Col. Karl Hisgen, an American
observer, got the first report of
the killings from the British U. N.
military observer stationed at
Bandoeng, Lt. Col. F. Day.
Radio Jakarta, quoting its Ban
doeng . correspondent, broadcast
this version of the killing:
Kennedy and Doyle were stop
ped in their jeep Thursday noon
by a gang of four or five men in
uniform They were taken to a
clearing in the forest and were
shot. Villagers were forced to
bury them. Then the gang made
the getaway toward Cheribon in
a sedan they stopped on the road
at about the same time.
The villagers reported the
shooting to Indonesian army units
in the area and the bodies were
exhumed.

his Republic opponent in the gen
eral election, had 2,553.
One of the most closely watched
legislative races—the attempt of
Rep. Warren Taylor of Fairbanks
to move up to the Senate—ap
peared likely to hang on the votes
dribbling in from outlying pre
cincts.
With an estimated half of the
Fourth Division votes in, Taylor
was running third by 21 votes in
the three-man race for the two
Democratic nominations. Robert
Hoopes led with 817, Jesse Lander
was next with 682 and Taylor had
661.
The total votes for the two un
opposed Republican candidates— |
A. F. <Joe> Coble and W. L. (Dan)
Lhamon—slipped 14 votes behind
the total of the three-man Demo
cratic race after having been
higher through the first two days
of tabulations.
In all Divisions the members of
the House woh were seeking re
nomination for their seats were
assured of it.
