BRACKETTVILLE, Tex. I—
Investigators today blamed a
tottering romance for the knife
slaying of a personable young
actress here on location to make
a movie.
Blonde LaJean Ethridge, 26.
from Hollywood, Calif. died with
a hunting knife in her heart
earlv Sunday. She had just
packed to leave a house she
shared with five men in her
summer theatre troupe.
Witnesses told County Atty.
John T. Tobin she gasped “I love
you” to the man who stabbed
her before collapsing on the liv-
ing room floor.
Sheriff John Sheedy jailed
Chester Harvey Smith, 32, a
slight 140-pounder from Holly-
wood on a murder charge. He
was working as an extra in the
film "The Alamo.”
“She was getting a better part
in the "movie.” Sheedy said, "and
she was moving out on Smith
and . the others. He thought he
• was going to lose her."
Smith told questioners his
memory was blank for several
hours before and after the slay-
ing. Sheedy said.
Miss Ethridge, known profes-
sionally as LaJean Guye, and
her company rented a house at
Spofford, nine miles south of
here, after landing jobs in the
film being produced by actor
John Wayne.
A spokesman said Wayne liked
the work of Miss Ethridge and
cast her as the wife of one of
the soldiers of Gen Sam Hous-
ton. leader in the war which
liberated Texas from Mexico.
Sheedy and Tobin said that the
actress, accompanied by a wait-
ress from a Brackettville cafe
and two other men, went to her
auarters about 2 a.m. Most of
the ether tenants were asleep.

Quiz Rigging
WASHINGTN w — The chair-
on the Federal Trade Commis-
sion said today deceptive enter-
tainment such as rigged TV
shows is not something his agen-
cy can regulate.
Earl W. Kintner, the FTC head,
told House invetigators his

control of advertising which re-

The House subcommittee on
Legislative Oversight has heard
testimony that questions and an-
swers were supplied in advance
to some contestants on such
programs as “Twenty-One” and
"Tic Tac Dough . "
Ign reply to questions, Kinter
conceded that this constitutes
"a gray area in the law.”
He said Congress could enact
a law making it a criminal of-
fense to rig a TV show "It
would have a salutary effect,”
he said.
Kinter also suggested broad-
ening the rules of the Federal
Communications ■ Commission,
which is the federal regulatory
body for television and radio.
Kintner said the courts have
held that where no misrepresen-
tation of products is involved,
the commission hos no juriside-
tion.
But he said the commissiop
staffed in 1956 conducted a pre-
liminary investigation of a com-
plaint involving the TV quiz pro-
gram, "The Big Surprise.” The
program went off the air. Kin-

seaward.
What Congress did in the 1953
Submerged Land Act, he said,
was to give the, states title to
off-shore submerged lands up
to the three-mile line and to
give them the right to assert
their claims—if any—to sub-
merged land out to a three-lea-
gue line—about 10 miles.
Rankin made the opening pre-
sentation to the court in a dis-
pute involving five gulf coast
states and the federal govern-
ment over ownership of oil-rich
submerged lands beyond the
three-mile limit.
The states involved are Texas.
Louisiana. Mississippi, Alaba-
ma and Florida. Their spokes-
men are to be heard during the
next several days. Those on
hand include Gov. Price Daniel
of Texas.
A seven-member court is con-
sidering the case. Chief Justice
Earl Warren and Justice Tom
Clark of Texas have disqualifi-
ed themselves.
Rankin contended that no state
may have a boundary that ex-
tends an inch beyond the boun-
dary of the United States and
that for 150 years the United
States has claimed only three
miles seaward. Therefore, he
said, state boundaries also are
limited to three miles seaward.
Justice Felix Frankfurter ask-
ed Rankin whether the three-
miles boundary is a legal or a
political question. Rankin con-
ceded it to be a political or
policy question. Frankfurter
then observed that the point
seemed to turn on a political
policy of government—namely
that the national boundary is
three miles seaward.
Rankin conceded that Texas,
which was a republic before it
was admitted to the union, was

have 13- hours—an unusually
lengthy period—in which to
present their arguments.
At stake in the case are great
riches in royalties from oil which
lies in pools beneath parts of
the submerged lands in the Gulf.
The nub of the arguments are
these:
By the states—That Congress
gave states ownership of adjoin-
ing offshore lands out to their
historic boundaries and thus the
five states should be declared
owners of lands out as far as
10 to 20 miles from shore.
By the United States—That the
boundary of the United States
extends seaward only three
miles. Inasmuch as state boun-
daries cannot extend beyond
boundaries of the country, the
state can own only out to the
three-mile line. That the gov-
ernment, under previous court
rulings, has paramount rights to
and control over submerged
lands beyond that three-mile
