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.

THE RUINS OF AT LEAST 52 homes and commercial buildings still smoulder after
a fire raged through this rural Quebec village,, St. Urbain. The fire started when a can

Montana Rancher
Confesses Robbery
KEMMERER, Wyo. 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.

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.
Both ' saw service in France in
World War I, Hugh died last year

peon production and to halt the
unloading of American military
supplies. 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.
Now the order apparentlyTTas

Jacques DuClos under arrest and

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.

die on the Washington State Pris
on gallows at 12:05 a.m. Monday
for the 1950 slaying of a 17-year-old

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

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

Supreme Court could act on the
case.
