McKay WASHINGTON m Secretarv of the Interior McKay said Tues day the depressed status of the coal industry Via so obvious that it ia a cause for national concern." "In an energy market that la huge now- and with prospects ol great expansion, the need for a new and serious look at the fuel situation Becomes increasingly im portant.'! McKay said, in a talk prepared for the annual meeting of me national uoai Association, a bituminous producers' group. "If one of the fuel industries becomes weak, the other existing fuel Industries are endangered. A weakened fuel industry sows the first seed for government control and then for government subsidy. "Soon the other fuel Industries are forced to compete with the gov ernment and eventually -they too will fall under government control sucn a, situation, it it is per mitted to occur, will be disastrous." The secretary said that in the last decade or so petroleum and natural gas reserves have been used at steadily increasing rates while coal deposits "which are the principal part of the country'a energy resource" are being used at a declining rate. . "It may be contended," he said, "that this changing trend' in fuel relationships Is nothing to worry about now and may not be for many years. Perhaps this Is true. Certainly, the matter is difficult to debate. , . . "On the other hand, our fuel supply is too fundamental to be taken for granted. It is entitled to objective review occasionally a review that should be instituted by the fuel industries themselves. It is imperative that we find out more about where we are going to be in 5, 10 or 20 years from now. "Coal as one of the major energy resources is still used in volume today, but at a declining rate. We can not got along without coal. It may some day again be our prin cipal energy source. Its prosperity and stability are beneficial and vital to the entire economy. "Yet in spite of these essentials coal has not enjoyed the boom of other basic industries in recent years." . . . . McKay expressed hope the Indus try "will eventually find economic stability and, as it has done be fore, through its own efforts." The' United States produces about 73 per cent of the world's passenger autos. ST.LOUIS ( An investiga-i tion of alleged discrepancies in po lice reports on the arrest of the Bobby Breenlease kidnapers and recoverw of half the ransom money has been started on orders by the St. Louis Board of Police Commis sioners. FBI agents, still seeking $300,000 in missing ransom money, refused to comment on this report and on reports they have questioned the two police officers who arrested Carl Austin Hall, confessed kid-nap-slayer, and Mrs. Bonnie Brown Heady here Oct. 6. Hall was arrested by Lt. Louis Shoulders and Patrolman Elmer Dolan at a hotel on the tip of a taxi driver. I. A. Long, board president, said Polic Chief Jeremiah O'Connell was asked to "intensify and broad en the police investigation of the case" following a special meeting of the commissioners. O'Connell 'aid the probe would include police questioning of Shoul ders and Dolan although the com missioners said, "we nave no reaaon to believe any police offi cers connected with the case have not given us ali the information they have." The Post-Dispatch has reported it learned FBI agents had found a number of discrepancies in the police account of Hall's arrest and recovery of about $293,000 in ransom money irom mm.

Shoulders said that after Hall was booked he (Shoulders) took the two suitcases to a small room at the station and locked the door. "I can prove," he said, "that the money I found in Hall's apart ment was the same money I turned over to the FBI. Where that money is will come out at the right time and when it does, I know Lou Shoulders will be in the clear. I'm not worried." AnAthar Storv Differs.- The Globe-Democrat said last night Dolan told FBI agents he did not know the suitcases found in Hall's aDartment. contained the ransom money until about two hours after the arrest. The Globe also reported Dolan told the FBI Shoulders left the po lice station in his private car shortly after Hall was brought to the station. Shouiders, declining to affirm or deny the report he left the sta tion, said: "1 can account for every move I made and the handling of that money whenever I'm called upon to do so and lt will be only to the proper authorities the police board or the chief and it will not be the newspapers or the FBI."
