Anti-Depression
Program Drafted
WASHINGTON UR President
Eisenhower will forecast contin
ued prosperity in Jfl54 when he
ends his annual economic mes
sage to Congress In January, his
aides say. ,
But they also expect him to
outline the defense his adminis
tration plans to throw up against
any possible recession,
The President's Council of Ec
onomic Advisors has been work
ing up a stabilization -program
since last spring.
It calls for four main anil-depression
steps ranging from fed
eral action to encourage mainten
ance of high production and em
ployment to a federal public
works program that would be:
called into play only in a dire
emergency.
If the public works project is
needed, officials say, only those
that would contribute to the
country's long-range productivity
and economic growth would be
built.
The phases in the anti-depression
program:
Strengthening of some of the
"built-in stabilizers" against de
flation: Social security extension
broader unemployment compen
sation coverage, increase in the
minimum wage from 75 cents an
hour. Some immediate action is
anticipated in this field. Contin
ued high farm price supports al
so might come under this head
ing, if Eisenhower and Secre
tary of Agriculture Benson adopt
that policy.
Measures to give consumers
and business firms spending in
centives: Lowering of interest
rates, encouraging business in
vestment by federal reserve and
treasury moves affecting bank
reserves and national debt management.
Tax adjustment: An over
haul of the federal tax structure
already is underway with stress
on removing obstacles to busi
ness investment and consumer
purchasing .Administration offi
cials made it plain budget bal

Hostage Says Convicts
Treated Her Courteously
The following story was told
by one of two women taken as
hostages on a night-long escape
flight by five Southern Michi
gan Prison inmnlrs.
By MARY I.OU WATTS
Al Told lo Kii Smith, of The
Jtrkion ntlien.PiUrlot
JACKSON, Mich. W It was
a little after 9 p.m., Saturday
when these men barged right
into our house. One of them
held a gun and the others had
knives.
They told us no one would
be hurt and then proceeded to
ransacked the house.
All we could do was sit there.
My husband, (Joseph Walls),
Helen (Miss Helen Gilbert).
Don (Don reek), Mary (Mary
Bobe, 14, a baby sitter) and I
couldn't believe it.
They took three of Joe's
suits, three pairs of his shoes,
even the ones he was wearing,
and one of his shirts. Don's
Cadillac was parked oulside,
full of gas. It was just like an
invitation for them.
We were scared. Little Mary
was terrified and began to cry
when the men got ready to
leave and said they were tak
ing her as a hostage. We
begged them not to take her
and they changed their minds.
They ordered Helen and me
into the car.
Before we left, though, they
asked my husband the way to
Indiana.
They promised that we
wouldn't be hurt. Then Ihey
tied the others afler collecting
about $30 from all of us. But
they left one dollar with my
husband.
Then we started out.
The man named Dowllng
(Robert Dowling) was driving.
I sat in front with him and
another man. Helen was in the
back seat with the other three.
We headed south on M60
at about 70 or 80 miles an
hour.
We ran into the first road
block about 15 miles from
home hut Ihey saw it In lime
and backtracked to the first
sido road, Then Helen and I
really were scared.
We were in constant fear not
of the convicts but we were
afraid a stale police car might
come along and open fire. Then,
too, we thought we might get
in trouble for helping them
escape because we were sort of
giving them directions when
they asked us.
From then on it was just one
set of back roads after another.
We finally ran out of gas near
Climax (southwest of Battle
Creek). There was a filling
station open and we pulled in.
"You'll be okay if you don't
make a sound," they told us,
and we kept quiet.
A stale police car passed as
we pulled away from the gas
slation but they didn't nolice
us. Then it was more back
roads until we drove almost to
Flint and then headed for De
troll always on the side roads.
It was funny. All of them
except the one called Uslondek
(Roman Usiondek) were almost
kind. One time I sort of bowed
my head trying lo slay awake
and one of the convicts asked
if I was sick.
Once they talked about the
break and one of them said he
felt like turning himself in after
they were outside. He said
Leaburg Youth Held

Ross Stanley Phibbs, 19, of Lea
burg, entered a plea of guilty
Monday in Circuit Court to a

He is being held under $1,500
bail and will be sentenced Tues

Harbaugh, 29, Roseburg, was ar
raigned on a charge of taking
and using an automobile with
out the owner's permission. He
will enter his plea to the charge
Tuesday.
there wcro too many lo be sue
ccssful.
Whenever Ihey wanted to talk
about Iheir plans, though, they
slopped Ihc car and talked out
side. Once wo skidded inlo a
ditch because there was ice on
the road. Then Uslondek went
wild, screaming about Dowllng'.'
driving and waving a gun. H
seemed as it they all wcro
afraid of him.
Wo reached Detroit about
8:20 a.m. Neither Helen nor
I know mush about it but we
stopped at Wyoming and Joy
Roads on the northwest side
of the city. There was a con
sultation and two of them got
oul.
Then the olher three lefl,
but not before they gave us
two dollars lo use for food and
phone calls. They told us not
lo turn in an alarm for a
least 15 minutes.
We slarlcd to drive away
but ran out of gas There was
a filling slation open and wo
went In In call. We called the
Stale Police and then called
home to let them knew wc
were safe.
We hadn't ealen since Sat
urday afternoon. Even though
the convicts offered to stop and
get us hamburgers and coffee
during the ride wc were too
nervous and keyed up to think
of fond.
Neither one of us slept,
cither, although one of the
men in the back slept on the
floor for a while.
When Ihe Detroit, police
found us, we both found It
hard to believe we were still
alive.
All I want to do now is sleep.
