Sister Fears
- Appearance of
Badman Cook
EL CENTRO, Calif., Jan. 13-J)
Desperado William E. Cook, sus
pected of slaying at least eight
persons, was reported seen in
many sections of the country to
day but FBI agents intensified
their search in this extreme south
western tip of the United States.
Men answering the 22-year-old
Cook's description, or riding in
automobiles resembling the one he
stole from one of his victims, were
reported to have been seen today
In such scattered areas as south
east Tennessee, near Salt Lake
City, Utah, and in a Bozeman,
Mont., restaurant.
Despite hundreds of tips fun
nelled to the FBI, agents here said
that none has been tangible enough
to follow up. In the course of one
day Cook has been reported seen
in Los Angeles. Wyoming, Illinois,
Nebraska, Minnesota and in five
Oklahoma counties.
In Dalton, Ga., today, the 21-year-old
sister of the Joplm. Mo.,
fugitive said she is living in mortal
fear of a visit from her trigger
happy brother.
She said she was desperately
afraid that if Cook were trapped
at her home he would use her two
small sons as a human shield to
blast his way past cops.
i'm trembling richt now until
I can hardly stand up." said the
young housewife whose name is
withheld at her request ar.d that
of the FBI.
The sister's alarm was increased
todav when she learned that a man
answering Cook's description had .
been seen in eastern Tennessee and
that a manhunt centered in this
area.

Marshall Plan
Balance Sheet
Spells Success
PARIS, Jan. 13-WhWhat has
the American taxpayer gotten for
the 110.5 billion he has spent on
Marshall aid to Europe?
As the Marshall plan for Euro
pean recovery fades into the arms
program for European defense,
most experts find it has been a
partial, but not a complete suc
cess. Both experts and casual tourists
agree that western Europe now
has plenty of food and clothing,
business is humming, unemploy
ment low and communism on the
decline.
On the other hand, even the
plan's top officials admit that dol
lar aid seems to end in the hands
of those already well off, and not
enough seeps down to the factory
worker and farmhand.
The money started to come
through in April 1948 and official
ly Is due to end in June 1952. Nof
it looks as if the Marshall plan, as
such, may peter out a year sooner
Some of its job will be taken up
by the all-embracing arms pro
gram. About 10 or 15 per cent of
the funds earmarked for that are
expected to go into what official
jabberwocky calls "non-end-item
use." That means it will not buy
tanks and guns, but machinery
and other civilian goods needed to
bolster European economies.
The Marshall plan had a purely
peacetime purpose: To hand out
free dollars to countries unable
to earn them, so they could get
American food and machinery to
help raise their living standards.
In the long run, it was hoped, they
would also become better custom
ers of the U. S. The argument ran
that poverty and instability would
foster communism. Prosperity
would weaken it.
Theory Correct
That theory has been borne out.
Now the communists seem to
have given up hope of boring from
within and that sizable pile of
pennies from American tax dol
lars which has been helping hold
the line against communism in
side western Europe is being
shifted in 1951 to bolster a de
fense wall against possible Soviet
aggression from the outside.
As things developed in 1950,
the chief aim of the Marshall
plan was summarized in one
word "integration." The admin
istrator of the plan, Paul Hoff
man kept telling Europeans that
if they wanted something like
American prosperity they would
have to move toward something
like the great American "single
market." By the single market he
meant the advantage American
businessmen have in being able to
plan huge production on a small
profit margin per item, knowing
that they have 150,000,000 poten
tial customers unseparated by
such artificial barriers as criss
cross Europe. He wanted Euro
peans to eliminate those barriers.
Europe Helped
The Marshall planners think
they have helped Europeans con
siderably in getting together this
way Ambassador Milton J. Katz,
who runs the European end of the
program, makes this list of the
most important things this or
ganization has helped do in 1950:
1. Establishment of the Euro
pean payments union as a per
manent self-help organization for
the 18 European members. EPU
is a clearing house through which
the countries settle their ac
counts. Each member owes its
trading debts to the EPU as a
whole, and not to other individ
ual members. That way debts and
credits are helped to cancel out
through third parties. Loans are
available to tide members over
hard times and gifts have been
made to countries which, like
Austria and Greece, are "chronic
debtors." Beyond a certain point.
though, debts must be paid partly
in scarce gold or dollars just in
case the self-help plan should
tempt any country to turn spend
thrift. 2. Suspension of aid to Great
Britain.
Britain got the biggest slice of
the Marshall pie in the first half
of the plan. Partly because of
her own efforts, partly because of
the favorable world price situa
tion, and to a considerable extent
through the progress financed by
American aid itself, she was able
to throw away the crutch on Jan
uary 1.
Inspired Schuman
3. Inspiration of the Schuman
plan to pool western Europe's
coal and steel industries.
This is another step toward "in
tegration.' The idea is to get coal
and steel moving freely at uni
form low prices, with policy de
cided Jointly by all members. The
organization if and when it is

Seattle Premed
Student Cited
For Murder
SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Jan. 13
-vP)-Accused of the pistol slaying
of an air force sergeant, with rob
bery as a possible motive, Joseph
Corbett, jr., 22, of Seattle, was ar
raigned today on a charge of mur
der. Corbett, tall, goodlooking college
student who majored in physics at
the University of Washington, re
fused to discuss the case.
His only comment after a re
porter questioned him was "I know
I am innocent of any crime with
which I may be charged."
The murder complaint charged
that on December 22 he shot and
killed air force Sgt. Allen Lee
Reed, 20, of Ligonier, Ind., and
dumped his body from an auto
mobile to the side of a road in an
exclusive residential district near
Larkspur.
It appeared Sergeant Reed had
been robbed. There was only sev
en cents in his pockets and a
Christmas card from Ligonier, with
a note which indicated relatives
there had sent him money.
Corbett, son of a Seattle news
paperman, had three years of phy
sics at Washington, and enrolled at
the University of California last
fall for premedics. He was said
to have entered California so he
could complete his studies at a
nuclear physics center.
Sheriff Walter B. Sellmer said
young Corbett was driving a sto
len automobile and carried a re
volver and a pistol when he was
arrested Thursday in Beverly
Hills. Police from here had asked
southern California officers to
watch for him.
Brought to the jail here last
night, he was asked if he wanted
to speak to his father, who had
telephoned from Seattle. Sheriff
Sellmer quoted the youth as say
ing "No, when I'm ashamed, I
can't talk."

finally approved would have real
international power, and no coun
try would have a veto.
4. Progress in productivity.
Katz lists productivity as the
number one field where it is "de
sirable and possible" to do a great
deal more. He said in a recent
speech:
"In 1900, Europe s output per
man-hour was substantially equi
valent to that of the U. S. today,
in rough average terms, it is be
tween Vi and V that of the U. S.
. ... if European productivity
should increase only Vs of that
way toward the American level, it
would mean an annual increase in
production equal to about $100,-000,000,000.-

o
Recounted to
Historical Society
Charles A. Sprague, publisher
of The Oregon Statesman, address
ed 30 members of Marion County
Historical society Saturday night
at city library. Subject of his talk
included the history of The States

County Judge
Appointment
Expected Soon
Appointment of a new Marion

names have been prominently
mentioned for the office.
The office is vacant since the
resignation of Ray Glatt of Wood
burn, who was appointed only
three weeks ago but suffered a
heart attack Thursday in Los
Angeles. He was sworn in Decem
ber 28 to succeed Grant Murphy,
who died following a heart at
tack. Again considered among leading
prospects for the appointment is
Harry V. Collins, retired Salem
district manager for the telephone

murder in Benton county's history,
will be sentenced to life in prison
Tuesday at 1:30 p.m.
Mrs. Sigurd Hansen, 50, sobbed

Boy's Belief in
Ability to Fly
Proves Fatal
GLENDALE, Calif., Jan. 13-(JF)
Blond, six-year-old Dickie Bon
ham believed with all his might
in the air age. He believed he
could fly, just like his comic book
hero.
Dickie's favorite blouse was a
replica of the flying cloak worn
by the mouse in the comic strip.
On Tuesday, Dickie and a play
mate trudged to the top of a steep,
20-foot bluff on their way home
from school. Each boy tucked his
magic flying cloak into his belt.
First the playmate jumped, and
rolled down the cliff unharmed.
Then Dickie jumped. He didn't
get up. The other boy ran to fetch
Dickie's mother. "Dickie's hurt,
Mrs. Bonham," he sobbed.
Dickie's mother ran to the hill
side to find her baby pale and in
a state of shock from internal in
juries. His magic cloak was torn
and dusty and he had managed to
crawl halfway back up the sole.
"Mama," he whispered as she
gathered him to her; "mama, I al
most did fly."
So they took Dickie to the hos
pital. Last night he died.

For Stories
TOKYO, Sunday, Jan.
Army censorship authorities ruled
today that only two men in Japan
are actually authoritative sources
on matters involving military se
curity. Newsmen hereafter will have to
show that one of these inaccessible
officers has supplied the Informa
tion if stories involving military
security are attributed to anony
mous "authoritative sources."
Otherwise the reporter will have
to quote his source by name in
order to get his story through cen
sorship.
Involved are stories concerning
military security or political stor
ies of a semi-military concerning
military security or political stor
ies of a semi-military nature af
fecting the far eastern command,
public information officials said.
The purpose of the ruling is to
minimize speculative stories on
these subjects, Lt. Col. Buel A.
Williamson, public information ex
ecutive officer, said.
Williamson said several recent
stories attributed to "authoritative
sources" had purported to reveal
policies which he said had not
even been considered in MacAr

He cited one recent story say

For Raid Shelters

air raid shelters in Oregon on a
matching basis.
The national defense adminis
tration, through Millard Caldwell,
federal civil defense administra
tor, proposed that Oregon raise
$9,450,000 for aid raid shelter con
struction. The federal government
under the proposal, would match
the funds.
Caldwell wrote that the amount
of $18,900,000, contributed by the
federal government and state,
would not be enough to provide
air raid shelters for all."
