Newspaper Page TextRegister-Guard, Eugene, Ore., Page 12 Sat,, June 21, 1952 Wealthy Reno Man Arrested Refuses to Post $50,000 in Bail SAN FRANCISCO (P) La Vere Redfield, 54-year-old Reno millionaire who failed to appear for the trial of a gang accused of the bizarre $1,500,000 burglary of his home, was picked up by the FBI Friday near Sebastopol, Calif, and went to jail here Friday night rather than face news cam eraman outside. Brought here under a Carson City, Nev., federal warrant at a material witness, Redfield aston ished court attaches by refusing to post $50,000. After a brief hearing, Federal District Judge Louis E. Goodman ordered Redfield removed to Ne vada Saturday. U.S. marshal John A. Roseen said he would arrange plane transportation but that the millionaire would have to spend the night in the San Francisco County jail. Redfield told Judge Goodman "I have no objection to appearing before the trial court. I didn t even know my presence was de tired at the trial." Clad in the faded jeans, dusty shoes, and tan cowboy-type shirt he was wearing when FBI agents found him helping a friend build a house near Sebastopol, Relfield slipped almost unnoticed into the federal court house here. He firmly refused all requests to pose for news cameramen. Seem' World FLORENCE Jacob A.

W A Glasgow, Mont., rancher who par ticipated in a $800 western Wyom ing bank robbery 41 years ago confessed his long hidden act Thursday and was placed on pro bation. Charles S. Whitney was known to his rancher friends for nearly 40 yean as Frank S. Taylor, rancher, school board member and World War I veteran. "I CAN SEE no purpose or use in sending you to prison," Dis- triot Judge Robert Christmas said, Whitney pleaded guilty to the armed robbery of the Cokeville State Bank at Cokeville, 44 miles northwest of here, in September, 1911. He placed himself on the mercy of the court. Modest and remorseful, Whitney walked into the office of Wyom ing's Gov. Frank A. Barrett in Cheyenne late Wednesday and confessed his part in the robbery. "I have no incentive any more to continue this life of sham," he told the governor. "I've settled my business affairs and am ready to pay my debt to Chile Holding Out On Uranium Sales SANTIAGO, Chile J.R) 1 Chile's surprise cancellation of her copper treaty i with the United States has slowed up negotiations for Chilean uranium, U, S. mining men admit. During part of April and May, representatives from the Atomic Energy Commission studied urani um deposits in this mineral-rich country. Santiago newspapers have published accounts of uranium being found near the village of Tamblllos. As in the case of copper, how ever, Chile reportedly wanted a high price for her uranium, AMERICAN engineers gointed out that any bonus paid Chile for uranium would have to be matched for the Belgian Congo, which at present is the main source nf uranium sent to the United States. The one-year copper treaty just cancelled by Chile provided that 80 per cent of Anaconda Copper Kennecott production in Chile be sold to the United States at 27 H cents a pound. American produc ers get 24 '4 cents. Chile retained the other 20 per cent, estimated to total around 80,000 tons a year but has been disappointed in her hope of selling It at higher prices on the world market. The opUmlstlo estimate that this oopper could be sold at 54 cents a pound was used in preparing the Chilean national budget for 1952. NOW CHILE hopei to negotiate new copper agreement with the United States at possibly 33 cents a pound, covering the total pro duction of the American-owned mines In Chile. Chilean represen tatives are aware of the problem posed to Americans of holding United States prices at lower lev els, and of the unfavorable reac tion in Arizona, Nevada and Mon tana if the spread in favor of Chil ean copper were made even great er. They hope, howevor, to put their ttory across and to convince the United States that it Is worth $10, 000.000 or even $15,000,000 to maintain friend Id a, critical They likewise hope that Con. gress will continue to keep sus pended the two per cent tax on foreign copper. DIPLOMATIC observers believe that in the forthcoming copper ne gotiations, Chile will refer dis creetly to Bolivia as an example of what can happen when a too-stiff price policy is rigidly maintained. The Chilean position may be summed up more or less as fol lows: "Bolivia is lost. We are your friends. We have always worked with you. Don't throw us over like Bolivia." It is generally granted here that Chile made an effort to keep her 20 per cent from going to Russia. There was some movement of Chilean copper to the Soviet zone, principally through Antwerp, Bel gium and thence to Czechoslova kia but Chile tried to block the trans-shipments and diversions through Belgium, Holland and Switzerland whenever they were discovered. society for a crime committed as a callow youth." When Whitney arrived here from Cheyenne Thursday with two attorneys he carried more than a dozen character references written by prominent Montana citizens. They included a letter from Montana Gov. John W. Bon ner attesting to Whitney's com pletely exemplary life since 1912. The Whitney story started back about 1910. As a youth of 21 he and his older brother, Hugh, came to Wyoming. According to Whitney, Hugh be came heavily indebted to a man who had a reputation as a bad- man. He urged them into the robbery. "So I sold my birthright for a few tainted dollars, for my broth er's sake, and my love and loyalty to him," Whitney said. Whitney said he and hit brother waited in the bank for over an hour until the time lock on the safe ran out. As customers enter ed, the youths lined them up against the wall and took their cash. As the brothers fled, the whole town, Whitney said, stood in the street and watched them. THE BROTHERS changed their names and eventually went to northern Montana. Hugh became known as George Walter Brown and the younger brother as Frank S. Taylor. They went into the ranching business hear Glasgow.

They wanted the politi cal strike used to emphasize Com munist strength and enforce Com munist demands. This put the spotlight on their loyalty to Moscow as against their own countries, and alienated the average French worker, who is a Frenchman before he is anything else. The Communist - controlled central labor organization lost its grip on the members, The militant Communists defeated themselves because they could arouse no pop ular support for their purely polit ical strikes. SOME MONTHS AGO the pol icy pendulum began to swing back toward political organizations rather than militant action. But the French militants continued to have at least part of their way until they were completely smack ed down by the flop of two recent strike demonstrations.

Etienne Fajon, Moscow doctrinaire of the French party, has stepped forward with the word: Subordi nate immediate objectives and get back to political organizing and the "peace offensive." HE SAYS OTHER orders, brought back to Paris by another party bigwig after a visit with DuClos, are a misinterpretation. There Is no indication that the fight between the "slow but sure" faction and the fanatics will end there. Internal dissension is now added to unpopularity as a Com munist problem in France. At the root of it lies the thing which, it seems to me, must event ually mark the end of the Russian hope for world conquest through revolution. Socialism might have its way among the masses if it were not a captive movement, controlled by the government of one country, and a ruthless totali tarian government at that. FRENCHMEN MAY love a doc trinal fight. They might be willing to try some sort of Communism or Socialism at some time when the present system seems to have failed. But not if it involves be- coming Russians. When the pro Russian militants are forced into revealing that it involves just that, they have lost their fight, not only in i ranee, out everywhere. WALLA WALLA (IP) Utah and Turman Wilson, scheduled to die on the Washington State Pris on gallows at 12:05 a.m. Monday for the 1950 slaying of a 17-year-old Vancouver, Wash., girl were dealt a triple blow in federal court here Friday. Federal Judge Sam Driver re jected a note of appeal submitted by the brothers' attorneys, turned down a motion for a stay of exe cution and denied a writ of habeas corpus. Judge Driver did, however, grant the Wilsons, under death sentence for the murder of Jo Ann Dewey, a certificate of probable cause, opening the way for the Wilson's attorneys to carry their case again to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals at San Francisco. JUDGE DRIVER cautioned the Wilsons there was little chance the circuit court would act favor ably on their appeal, since it has already granted one stay of exe cution in order that the U. S. Supreme Court could act on the case. moves that can be made" for the Wilsons at the moment. "We will again urge Gov. Ar thur B. Langlie immediately to commute the death sentence to life imprisonment," the statement continued. "We are positive that if the governor will let them (the Wilsons) live, the truth will set them free."

Thoughts of Bears Send Kids Home BELLFOUNTAIN Two small boys and a dog were the cause of general alarm and search by the mill crew at Miller'a Mill Monday afternoon when their mothers became alarmed by their long absence. The boys, nine-and-onehalf year old Michael (Mike) Snow, son of Mr. and Mrs. Troy Snow, and seven-and-one-half year old Kenneth Dixon, son of Mr, and Mrs. Elbert Dixon of Dawson, started out to play as usual but decided to take a walk In the mountains west of Dawson. The boys went AWOL and arrived home late in the evening after a hike of seven miles or more, footsore and weary, while a frantic but unsuccessful search had been made by the parents and mill crew. The boys had gone as far as the Roberts place, over Green Peak moun tain, and when asked later if they were not afraid, replied "Not until we began to think about bears." soldier (U Ulster,. fort ,zrm st Colonel d,, Salt Lake ? ,.'. .0 officer by a appeal ' Chase, who' H 2en- Mark Clert h ' handling of th JjJ N wa reduced to " r 375 P .month on? 4 nef "X month, ordered to conltai cha called S repugnant . handling the KJi nassnri (i,. i J riot, McDonald said he did not person' allv know if the prints were Utah's.

GOODMAN ALSO said evidence naming other suspects presented to the Clark County prosecutor was never considered during the trial. oFrmer Clark County Sheriff Earl Anderson testified he had obtained information from a wire recording of conversations the Wilson brothers had in their cells, Anderson said he uncovered considerable evidence from per. sons named by the Wilson in their jail conversations and presented the information to prosecutor D.
