Mystery Posed
In Heir's Death,
Revision Of Will
CHICAGO Ul Authorities to-
lay intensified their investigation
of the mysterious death of the 20-year-old
heir- to million dollars
after being told the young man
revised his will recently to make
his fiancee principal beneficiary
and had expressed doubt he would
live to come into his own Inheri
tance. Montgomery Ward Thome was
found dead in his studio apartment
Saturday. Coroner Walter E. Mc
Carron said there were four needle
marks on his arms but no evidence
he was a user of narcotics.
The cvoner ordered an analysis
of vital organs
He said he also has sent Investi
gators to Bnmingham. Mich..
interview the 25-year-old daughter
of a promincn' Birmingham fam
ily. He said the girl, an art stu
dent, occupied an apartment ad
joining Thome's until Friday. Mc
Carron did not name her.
Jay Stough. who said he had
been young Thome's lawyer for
some time, told Detective Capt.
Harry Pcnzin that Thome less
than 10 days ago changed his will
to make Miss Maureen Ragen, la,
chief beneficiary and executor.
Far Of Death Told
Pcnzin quoted Stough as saying
Thorne, grandson of a former
president of Montgomery Ward &
Co., "was afraid he would never
live to collect ms Inheritance. He
asked me to assure that there
would be a very thorough investi
gation ... if he died."
Stough said Thorne would have
begin receiving $1,000 a month in
come from the estate of his fath
er. Gordon C. Thorne, after this
21st birthday, in October. The
father's will provided the income
would junto to $3,000 a month at
age 30 and the son would he al

tance estimated at a million dol
lars at age 35, the lawyer said.

Cordon Wins Hard-Fought
Victory Oyer Morse During
Maneuvers On Cougar Bill
By A. ROBERT SMITH
News-Revltw Cerrtipondant
WASHINGTON Sen. Guy Cor
ton (R-Ore.) won a bard fought
victory over his Oregon colleague,
Sen. Wayne Morse, in contest
tnat ended in triumpn not ony
for Cordon bu the Eisenhower ad
ministration in the field of re
source development
Cordon successfully prevented
Morse from killing off for this
session of Congress final action
on several bills which would im
plement the administration's
"partnership" river development
policy.
Morse, curiously enough, switch
ed the scene of the battle from
the field of his own normal pref
erence the Senate floor U
tlie field in which Cordon custo
marily maneuvers the Senate
cloakroom.
Here Is what happened:
Three "partnership" bills involv
ing Oregon and Washington prot
ects were referred for considera
tion to the Senate Public Works
Committee: Cougar dam on the
McKenzie River. Btiest Rapids
and John Day projects on tne
Columbia. The first two have been
passed by the House. Favorable
Senate action would give the ad
ministration Its first tangible evi
dence of congressional endorse
ment of the "oartnership" idea,
wmch Morse has assailed repeat
edly over the past year.
Morse, as a member of that
committee, sought to slow down
u not halt final approval ot tne
bills by suggesting the committee
hold hearings on tnem In tne ra
cuic Northwest after Congress ad
journs for the year. This would
have Killed oil tneir cnances n
th 83rd Congress, requiring that
they run the gauntlet all ovei
again through both House and Sen
ate in the 84th Congress that con
venes next year.
Cordon, sponsor of the Cougar
and John Day bills, but not on
the committee, sought quick ac
tion on the Cougar bill by re-
ouesting it be sent to the Senate
floor.
And so the battle between the
two senators was joined in the
cloakroom where colleagues are
collared and exhorted to support
a given position or oppose a par
ticular bill for such and such rea
sons. The Cougar dam project
Raging Floods Sweep

rode out flood crests and now
face new crises.
Today was the beginning of the
second week of daily outbursts of
thunderstorms, occasional hail
and high winds ranging up to tor-
nadic proportions. Rains have
ranged to 10 inches and down
pours of 5 inches or more have
northwest and northern sectors.
Alfred Anderson, 18-year-old
farm youth, disappeared while
attempting to swim his horse
across the raging Iowa River to
reach some stranded cattle.
Developments Included:
Das Meinei Police boats eva
cuated more than 50 families along
Four-Mile Creek after a 5 - inch
rain fell near Ankey. just north
of Des Moines.
Sleux City A 21-foot crest
passed at midday Sunday on the
noyd River after more than 500
families had left their suburban
homes as a precaution. A new
peril rose after 3"i inches of rain
fell in five hours last night. More
hard rains fell in the Floyd Valley
above Sioux City.
Masen City A 4-inch downpour
in four hours Sundav night cut off
all highways into Mason City and
caused new flooding.
Fert Dodge The Red Cross
used all available trucks Sunday
to evacuate 30 homes when the
Des Moines River rose swiftly to
flood stage.
In Western Iowa, between Sioux
City and Council Bluffs, thousands
of acres were inundated when
dikes broke near Turin and Ken

involving but 37.500 kilowatts
was a minor item in the lives ot
other senators, who heard the
contrary pleas foi support from
both Mjrse and Cordon.
The decision would be made or
1 vote of the 11 senators who com-
prise the flood control subcom
mittee of the Senate Public Works
Committee. They met and they
debated the issue behind closed
doors on at least four occasions
before the verdict was reached
by which the Cougar bill was ap
proved without further delay.
The battle 1 cached a semi-wind-up
over a week ago when Morse
moved to dtfer further consider
ation and lioid hearings in Ore
gon, but was defeated by a tie
vote 5 to 5. Morse had lined up
four Democrats to support him:
Chavey (N.Mex.), Stennie (Miss.),
Kerr (Okla.) and Burke (Ohio).
Cordon had won the support ot
the fifth Democrat, Holland (Fla.)
and four of the five Republicans:
Chairman Bus (Conn.) Case (S.
Dak.), Beall (Md.) and Upton
(N. H.(.
These lines held firm in the
final vote, which became 6 to 5
when the lone absentee from the
previous meeting, .Kuchei tR
Calif.), was represented and. vot
ed for Cordon. . .
Cordon put on a stiff campaign
of persuasion to break the back
of Morse's stalling maneuver, and
by so doing got favorable action
on the Cougar bill, which virtually
assures Its passage by Congress
within the next week or two. It is
doubtful Morse will ope my oppose
the bill on the Senate floor, a po
sition he has cautiously avoided
to date.
Possibly, Morse will do as he
did on another "partnership" hill
that sailed through the Senate this
past week walk out of the cham
ber during its debate and return
after it has been passed. This was
a measure authorizing the Ala
bama Power Co. to build five pow
er projects on the Coosa River
in Alabama and Georgia, where
federal authorization had been giv
en in 1945 for comprehensive fed
eral development that had never
been started.
The power company would fi
nance the entire venture at us
own expense and assure compre-
nensive development of tne rlvei
under terms of a Federal Power
Commission license yet to be
granted. The "partnership" fea
ture enters only in this lesp-ict.
the bill says that if Congress
should later adopt a policy of re
imbursing private interests for
flood control and river navigation
improvements, then this utility
could collect for its investment in
these features of the five dams.
The bill was sponsored not by
the administration r its spokes
man in Congress, but by Demo
cratic Sens, Lister Hill and John
Sparkman, with whom Morse is
usually allied on .he various is
sues before the Senate.
When it came up, Morse left
the chamber. It was passed. Ha
returned.
Did he oppose it in the commit
tee as he had bucked Cougar?
Senator Cordon wanted to know
that too, apparently, when he ask
ed Chairman Bush during debate
on the Coosa bill whether the vote
in committee had been unanimous.
Bush said he understood one
vote against it had been cast, but
this was not recorded so it could

was."
