1 129TH YEAR NO. 47 FINAL EDITION 3IONDAY MORNING, MAY 26, 1969 PRICE 10 CENTS THE CINCINNATI ENtt lil Woman Doctor Foun Clifton Office of the Department of Psychiatry at UC, said that at one time the victim was a physician at Berea, (Ky.) College, and that her husband, Charles, is a former dean of that college. Mrs. Shutt at the time of her death was a volunteer member of the Department of Psychiatry at UC and as such supervised younger psychiatrists and taught on a part-time basis. Dr.

Richard Brush, who is chief psychiatrist at the Municipal Court Psychiatric Clinic, said that she served as a senior consultant there from July, 1967, to July, 1968. He said that at the time of her death she was doing work in association with Juvenile Court as well as maintaining a private psychiatric practice ner home. Edge Of Sorrow BY GEORGE PALMER Of The Enquirer Staff "What's happened at the Shutt's?" an older woman asked as her husband stopped their car in front of 122 Glenmary Clifton, Sunday. The couple was curious because of the presence of District Five Patrolman Joseph Mains, stationed in front of the residence to keep out all but police workers. She was told that Dr.

Jane Shutt, a psychiatrist, had been shot and bludgeoned to death in the basement of her home. THE WOMAN BROKE into tears. She clutched off her glasses, smearing away the tears with her fingers. "Oh, that's awful. She was a member of our church." Her husband reacted without tears, but he was visibly shaken.

They drove off. The 100 block of Glenmary Avenue was mostly normal, a sunny Sunday afternoon in the happy spring except for the dignified form of Patrolman Mains on duty and the parked gray detective cars. THE HOUSE AT 122 is brick colonial with white trim. Pillars some 12 feet high frame the entrance. It's a neat home, with an upstairs and downstairs porch at the right end, looking straight at it.

The red slate roof has three gable windows facing the street. A neighbor said the Shutts had lived there four or five years. The home at 122 is not even faintly reminiscent of a place where murder could have taken place. At 130 Glenmary two doors from the murder home a gray-haired woman watered a row of flowers along a flagstone wall. The door was closed at 126 Glenmary, right next door.

Inside were the children of the dead woman and her elderly husband. A man led his small dog on a leash in front of the murder home, seemingly unconcerned. Two youngsters in their teens dressed and haired in the current style disclaimed hearing any news of the murder, as they walked by. "We've never been down this street before," the girl said, "and I don't think we'll come back." In Her BY GEORGE HAIIN Enquirer Police Reporter Dr. Jane Shutt, 43, a psychiatrist, was found shot and bludgeoned to death shortly before noon Sunday in the basement office at her home, 122 Glenmary Clifton.

Her almost-nude body was found lying face down just inside the doorway to her office by her son, Chris, about 13. Homicide Sgt. Russ Jackson said the woman was shot three times in the chest with a small caliber weapon, possibly a .25 caliber pistol, and that she was beaten about the head with a heavy object. Jackson said there was no evidence of rape. Ralph Stelter, life squad driver, said the victim's sole article of clothing, a blue bathrobe, was "bunched up around her shoulders." Stelter said she apparently had been dead for some time when the body was found.

JACKSON SAID the woman was last seen alive by her oldest daughter, Barbara, 23, when the daughter left the house about 9:45 a. m. Sunday to go horseback riding at a stable. The other two children, Chris, and Connie, about 14, had gone to church with their father, Charles N. Shutt.

The body was discovered when Chris returned from church. Mrs. Shutt had recently resigned as director of the Community Mental Health Clinic in Lawrenceburg, Ind. An autopsy was being conducted Sunday night at Hamilton County Coroner's office to determine whether the death resulted from the gunshot or the beating. Homicide Sgt.

Eugene Moore said there were no suspects in the case and no arrests had been made. "There is no speculation at all that this is connected in any way with any other kind of murder in Cincinnati," Moore said. Mrs, Shutt was the third woman to be slain in the city this year. All three murders remain unsolved. Stelter of the Life Squad said Tr! lWf lb f'vf fer mm IriF I If nil iHilli I 18 Arrested Two Priests Help Burn Draft Files Mrs.

Shutt's body was found a few steps inside her office doorway with her head almost resting against the desk. Manila folders, possibly used to hold records of patients, were "scattered on the floor in front of the desk as if someone had gone through them and dropped them there or they had fallen during a struggle," he said. He said there were two wounds near one of the victim's ears and "a terrific amount of blood on the floor of the office tracked up the basement steps and on an upstairs phone." "Her ankles were crossed when the body was found," he said. Dr. Maurice Levine, who is head Clifton Patrolman Mains stands guard The space fliers will splashdown at 12:52 p.

m. Monday in the South Pacific about 400 miles east of Pago Pago, capital of the American Sa-moas. It will be 23 minutes before sunrise, Samoan time, but 40 minutes after "Civil Twilight Time" starts. Civil Twilight Time was described as a period when you would use your parking lights, rather than headlights, if driving a car. Cernan's comment about being clean shaven and kicking up his heels on Pago Pago was prompted by the fact the space heroes are to be greeted by dancing girls when they step ashore on the lovely island.

The board noted that as the "legal and governing and policymaking body of the university" it would assert "final authority for operating the institution and its full responsibility for, and approval of, the policies, procedures and commitments to progress that have been and are in effect at UC."

Dr. L. Clair Warden, senior minister of the King Avenue United Methodist Church, said he allowed the man eight minutes to read the document which calls for churches and synagogues to pay $500 million in reparations to the Negro race. Warden said he noticed three or four from his congregation of about 1000 leaving the church during the opening moments of the man's reading. Berkeley Curfew Lifted, Guard Cut BERKELEY, Calif.

(UPI) A city-wide curfew was lifted Sunday in the riot-wracked university community of Berkeley, but a force of 200 National Guardsmen stood guard over disputed "people's park," focal point of the turmoil. Gov. Ronald Reagan withdrew the curfew effective at 6 a. m. and a ban prohibiting public meetings throughout Berkeley.

He also ordered a part withdrawal of the 1700 Guardsmen who have patrolled the streets and maintained order at bayonet point. The Guardsmen Sunday were camped at armories throughout the San Francisco Bay area except for the force which guarded the park.

Police said the blaze caused "very extensive damage and destroyed many records." The demonstrators said the burning of draft records was an "act of creative destruction" by white citizens who confront "the twin evils of American militarism and racism." The statement was signed by 15 of the 18 under investigation. THE GROUP included the Rev. Nicholas J. Riddell, 38, a priest assigned to Milwaukee's St. Boniface Parish the parish from which Rev.

you have to build in a university today is community where everybody does belong, everybody in a sense has a stake in what is going on, everybody has a voice in what is going on. And that there is good communication between the faculty, the students, administration, trustees and alumni." "I grant you," he said, "if we don't run ourselves, others will move in to run us and I think it is terribly important that we establish at least a kind of consensus within the total university community of what we stand for and what we are willing to get up and uphold within the university SPACE CENTER, Houston (UPI) Apollo 10's lunar pathfinders scored a first by shaving in space Sunday while rocketing toward a splashdown from man's most hazardous and profitable space mission to date. Their spaceship passed the halfway point in the 251,000 mile return flight to Earth at 4:40 p. m. (EDT).

"YOU CAN PASS on to the governor of Pago Pago we're ready to kick up our heels," said Eugene A. Cernan after he and fellow astronauts John W. Young and Thomas P. Stafford succeeded in lathering up and whisking off their beards. It had never been tried in space before, at least by Americans, because scientists feared the whiskers would float around.

board reaffirmed the "timeliness and necessity" of action taken last week in securing a "temporary restraining order as a deterrent to imminent disruption and violence on campus." The board also decided "on the suggestion of the Student Senate and others," to petition the Common Pleas Court Monday to eliminate the names of individuals and groups from the order. The statement gave two reasons for the decision: these individuals and groups are already included in the general terms of the order, and no listing of individual names of potential violators would be truly Educators Told: College WASHINGTON Father Theodore Hesburgh, president of the University of Notre Dame, predicted Sunday a possible repression of universities by outside forces unless the schools learn to cope with their campus disruptions. "It seems to me that if you look around the country today, you find almost every state legislature is considering a whole passel of laws to restrict the freedom and the autonomy of the university," Hesburgh declared. "YOU FIND MANY benefactors of private universities who are drawing back and taking universi Providing "necessary evidence" can be obtained, the University of Cincinnati will prefer criminal charges against those responsible for campus disturbances last Tuesday, the UC board of directors announced Sunday. In a special session Sunday morning, the board unanimously approved the recommendation of the seven-member board-administration committee.

The statement said it was the board's "legal and moral responsibility to maintain an orderly atmosphere on the campus so as to provide a just and equal opportunity for all students to benefit from the higher-educational experience for which they have registered. "Hence, and in order to serve justice, firm action will be taken as soon as the necessary evidence fixing individual responsibility for illegal activity or violation of university procedures has been collected." Peter Thorns, University of Cincinnati legal counselor, said Sunday afternoon that he did not know when charges would be preferred against individuals. "But as soon as we're able to have good cases, we'll go ahead," he said. Some of those persons injured in the disturbances, he said, could file personal charges immediately. THOMS SAID he expected evidence against individuals to be collected from photographs, security police and "mostly from the students themselves." The "predominant" attitude of most students, he said, is that they resent the disturbances.

In the three-page statement the 'Learn To Cope Strife Seen Peril ties out of their wills. You find a kind of revulsion in much of the large middle segment of the public that feels that perhaps they are being disillusioned about what was the fair child of other days, the institutions of higher learning." Hesburgh added: there is a rebirth of a kind of repression of the university or outside forces pressing in upon it to control it and I think this is a sad thing to happen." Hesburgh said he believes the basic answer to campus disorder is community. "These youngsters have a sense of alienation," he said. "They want to participate and the point.
