J. Authorities believed she was slain by someone she knew. She encountered the killer while walking from a bus stop to the college dormitory, half a mile away, about 1:30 a. m. yesterday.

Outlook: Was Dark During the last two weeks it had looked as though there would be no sugar beets planted in the territory served by Utah-Idahand Layton sugar Amalgamated companies. The proceieors were a contract presenting virtually the same as that of 1939, while growers, through the Utah Sugar Beet o, Growers association, and affiliated county unita. were seeking a price, in effect, 53 cents per ton a 16 per cent sugar higher on beet. When negotiations failed recently In Pocatello, it looked certain that no beets would be grown this year in Cache county, and farmers who usually produce beets had been threatening to turn to other crops if the contract trouble wasn't soon settled. Then came the meeting in Salt Lake City. The Idea of a mediation group to bring to an end the stalemate, between the beet growers and the' processors originated in Logan and took roots when F. P.
