Old Recluse
Still Sought in
Big Mansion
NEW YORK, March 22 (JP)
Langley Collyer, 71, the eccentric
recluse whose disappearance has
raised a strange mystery for the
city's police, probably is still
somewhere in the littered old
Fifth avenue mansion he chose for
a hermitage, his attorney said
today.
John R. McMullen, the attor
ney, said: "My opinion is that he
is still In the house." He added
he would list Langley as a missing
person, enabling police to enter
the house at 128th street on Mon
day and search for him if he did
not appear tonight or tomorrow.
The body of Homer Collyer, 75.
Langley's crippled and blind
brother, was taken from the house
by police yesterday after they
forced entrance to the barricaded
home and dug through a laby
rinthian pile of rubbish to find
him dead. The two brothers had
lived a hermit-like existence in
the 12-room house for 33 years.
McMullen. who said the broth
ers had a fortune "well up in six
figures," recalled that Langley
once explained their habits to him
by saying: "We like it this way.
It's our life."

Backs Premier
PARIS. March 22-P-Premier
Paul Ramadier won a 411 to 0
vote of confidence in the French
national assembly today on his
policy to stamp out the Indochi
nese revolution, but there were
signs his four-party government
might face even stronger tests.
Communist deputies abstained
from the voting, although Rama
dier had said he would resign
unless all four parties supported
his budget of $285,000,000 for con
tinued military operations in In
dochina. Communist members of the
cabinet, however, backed the ap
propriation, and the premier let
it be known he was satisfied with
this measuie of support.

Filipinos' Hail
Moro Arrest
MANILA, March 22 -(TV Mili
tary police reported today the
surrender of Datu Mampao, an
event more important to the hill
people of southern Mindanao than
the capitulation of Japan.
Police said the drive against
him and other Moros in the wild
back country has resulted in re
cent release of more than 300
Christian slaves and hamer in
mates. For more than 30 years this
wily little chieftain and his Kris
wildiin followers led authorities
on a bitter chase through their
rugged homeland around Cota
bato. The war meant nothing to
these men of the Moslem faith
except a better chance to capture
Christians who had fled from the
cities.

Plane Big Enough
For Own Subway
WASHINGTON, March 22h,P)
The army's new bomber, the XB
36, is so big that it contains a
"subway" with a four-wheel scoot
er to carry crew members between
the pilot cabin and the waist sec
tion. The army air forces said tonight
the communications tunnel is 85
feet long, compared with the B
29 s 34 feet. The tunnel provides a
passageway along one side of the
bomb bay. At high altitudes it is
pressurized like the other compart
ments to allow the crew to move
about without oxygen masks and
cumbersome air supply tubing.

1 In 196 the owners of Union Oil Company
made a total net profit of $8,867,023. Most of
us will admit that almost 9 million dollars is a
lot of money. But what many of us fail to con
sider is that those profit dollars were divided
among a lot of people.
y'
2. Per Union Oil Company is owncjl not by 1
man or 2 but by 35,012 individual Americans -
enough to fill a good-sied ball park. Divided
among that many owners, the net profits actually
averaged just $253-26 per common shareholder.
3. Even this sum wasn't all paid out in divi
dends $1,200,753 was left in the business. So
dividends paid out- money that actually went
to the owners averaged just $1 3 V28 per share
holder, or $11.11 er month. Wages paid out.
plus the cost of retirement and other lenefit
plans, averaged $3,522.70 per employee, or
$293. 56 per month.
4 In other words, while Union Oil Company
looks pretty big from the standpoint of all its oil
wells, refineries, service stations, etc., the com
pany is actually owned and the profits shared
by ordinary Americans like you and your
neighbor next door. 70 of these owners live
in the West.
5 There ore 56 in Spokane, Washington; 10 in
Grants Pass, Oregon; 177 in Bakersfield, Cali
fornia, etc. 2,150 are Union Oil employees. The
average shareholder owns 133 shares about
$2,900 worth on today's market. Some own less
than this, some more; but the largest owns only
about 1 of the total shares outstanding.
6 So If Is not the investments of a few million
aires, but the combined savings of thousands of
average citizens, that make Union Oil and
most American corporations possible, and
without some such method of providing the
necessary tools, American mass production
which is based on free (ompttttion could never
have been accomplished.
