Missing Ransom Fund Puts Probe On Police Report
Coal Industry Status Depressed, Says Sec. 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.
Cop Disputes Prtta Report
The newspaper said police rec
ords showed Hall was brought to
a district police station following
his arrest with two suitcas.es filled
with money but that the FBI had
determined in suitcases were
brought with Hall to the station.

However, Shoulders said, "The
bags with the money were deliv
ered to the station at the same
time as the prisoners."
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."
Hall has said he cannot remem
