    Baby Found Safe;
One Still Missing
From N.Y. Hospital
New York, Mar. 31 (U.R) Diane Ranzie, six-months-old, was
found unhormed today, 12 hours after being kidnaped from a
perambulator parked in a Brooklyn theater lobby, but police held
little hope of finding a second stolen baby alive.
The second infant, Chaneta Holden, a Negro born prematurely
10 days ago, disappeared from an incubator at Lincoln hospital
last night a few minutes after the Ranzie girl had been whisked
from her carriage by Mrs. Catherine Palmore.
The infant's mother, Mrs. Clarence Holden, said she feared the
baby had been dropped or injured bv a hosDital attendant and
hidden. Police, theorizing that
pital, searched laundry chutes,

Jury Finds Coy
Guilty of Rape
The second conviction for a
sex crime in less than a week
was obtained yesterday by Dis
trict Attorney George Nielson
when a circuit court jury com
posed of six men and six women
adjudged Rex Joseph Coy, 28,
guilty of assault with intent to
commit rape. They took just one
hour to reach the verdict. There
were ten "guilty" votes with two
dissenting.
Coy was identified as the man
who attacked an 11-year-old
I.dford girl, by his victim and
by two of her playmates. He did
not testify in his own behalf.
The Medford man was indicted
by a grand jury February 23.
Sentencing Saturday
Judge H. K. Hanna has set
9:30 a.m. Saturday, as the time
to pronounce sentence and Dep
uty District Attorney Paul Havi
land said Coy's previous crimi
nal record will be brought up at
that time. It could not be men
tioned during the trial because
Coy himself was not called to
testify.
Coy was defended during the
three-day trial by two court
appointed attorneys, Manville
Heisel and Stanley C. Jones Jr.
A circuit court jury, -consisting
of many of the same jurors
who tried the Coy case, returned
another guilty verdict last week
against Earl Gorman Edison
who had been indicted on a stat
utory rape charge. He received
a 12-year sentence but is being
held in county jail here pending
a motion for a new trial. Coy
could be sentenced to life in the
state penitentiary, or the court
could give him a lesser sentence
of from 1 to 20 years.

abbot pleaded guilty before the
slate court today to high treason
and espionage, radio Prague re
ported.
The broadcast said that Aug-
ustin Machotka, abbot of the pre
monstrate monastery at Nova
Rise, Moravia, confessed "carry
ing out espionage and commit
ting high treason on orders of
the Vatican hierarchy standing
high in the services of American
capitalists."

House Votes Slash
In Foreign Aid Money
Washington. Mar. 31 U.P.)
The house voted tentatively to
day to lop $20 million off the
$45 million asked by the admin
istration to carry out President
Truman's "point four" program.
The standing vote was 117 to 78.
Rep. Christian A. Herter (R..
Mass.) submitted the proposal
for reducing the first-year au
thorization for "point four" to
$25 millian. This would include
about $10 million for technical
assistance programs now in oper
ation. to the ear-marking of the tax to
pav for it.
"We may need this tax next
year for general state govern
ment costs under existing laws."
he warned. He pointed out
building reserve funds were ex
hausted and there would be no
money available to tap for pub
lic works needs.
Post objected on grounds the
$45 million would not be enough
to carry the extended school pro
gram next year. He said in
creased enrollment alone would
require expenditures of an ex
tra $12 million next year under
the present scale of school sub
sidy. The increased subsidies
provided by the bill, he said,
would more than eat up thii sur-plus.

HARRY BRIDGES
His Fate Awaited
Bridges Perjury
Case Goes to Jury
After 81 days
San Francisco, Mar. 31 (U.R)
The perjury-conspiracy case
against Longshore Union Leader
Harry Bridges and two of his
aides was submitted to a jury of
eight men and four women at
12:43 p. m. today.
Federal District Judge George
B. Harris completed a morning
long period of instructions to
jurors at 12:10 p. m., and after
a brief conference with oppos
ing counsel, submitted the case.
Long Session Seen
The jurors will begin deliber
ating immediately following
lunch about 2 p. m. Apparent-,
ly in anticipation of a lengthy
deliberation, the first three jur
ors in court today showed up
carrying suitcases. One brought
a comfortable pillow with him.
The 49-year-old president of
the powerful International Long
shoremen's and Warehousemen's
union is charged with lying at
his naturalization hearing in
1945 when he denied he was or
ever had been a communist.
J. R. Robertson, longshore un
ion vice-president, and Henry
Schmidt, top ILWU organizer,
were indicted with their presi
dent on a conspiracy count and
charged with aiding and abetting
Bridges' alleged perjury.
Poinli of Law Covered
Harris took an entire morning
to cover more than 40 points of
law which the defense and pros
ecution wanted explained to the
jury.
At the behest of Bridges' at
torneys, he stressed the "guilt
by association" theory and said
the labor chief could not be con
victed if evidence at the 81-day
trial showed he had cooperated
with communists merely to fur
ther the work of the nupjr:.i;!
ther the cause of the union.
Groundwork Laid
For Soil District
More than 40 residents of the
Sams Valley, Beagle. Meadows
and Table Rock communities met
at the Sams Valley school last
night to lay the groundwork for
a new campaign to form a soil
conservation district.
A committee of 14 will draw
up tentative boundaries for the
proposed district, which would
coordinate soil-saving and water
conserving efforts. The commit
tee proposes to determine senti
ment in regard to the district,
and whenever they run into op
posing viewpoints they will draw
a boundary line, thus helping to
assure the success of the meas
ure when it finally comes to a
vote. Only landowners in favor
of such a district would be in
cluded in the balloting.
Petitions are being circulated
for submission to the state soil
conservation committee, and it
was learned today that sufficient
signatures to call for hearings in
the area have already been ob
tained. More signatures will be
sought, however.
A second meeting of interested
farmers and ranchers has been
set for April 20 when the final
proposed boundaries may be
known.
PLANE GROUND LOOPS
A Stinson Voyager airplane
piloted by Dick Woods ground
looped and nosed over at the
Medford airport at about 1:15
p.m. today, according to airport
sources. The plane, owned by
Medford Air service, was taxiing
when a brake grabbed. The left
wing dragged on the ground,
and the plane stood on its nose.
Woods was unhurt, according to
witnesses.

America Staggering
From Crisis To Crisis,
Elder Statesman Says
Newport, R. I., Mar. 31 (U.R) Bernard M. Baruch said today
that the United States was staggering "from crisis to crisis with the
initiative left to the enemy" and to win the cold war must have "a
general staff for peace," headed by a man "of the stature of Gen.
George C. Marshall."
"What is needed is a non-partisan group which will stay on
the job until the cold war is won," Baruch said, "a grotiD which
would sit in continuous deliberation on the whole of the peace
waging, serving as a central point of decision, weighing all the
many commitments pressed upon us, guiding the best the disposi
tion of our strained resources, determining where in the world we
are to fight a mere holding action and where we can achieve a de
cisive break-through and at what effort."
Nation Said Spreading Itself Too Thin
The 79-year-old former presidential advisor spoke before the
staff and students of the Naval War college here.
Baruch said the United States was today spreading itself "too
thin, unable to achieve decision anywhere."
The "serious defeat" suffered by the United States in China,
he said, "has stirred a good deal of public discussion of whether we
are losing the cold war. Certainly there is sufficient reason to feel
that what has been done so far is inadequate."
Must Learn To Pace
Baruch said the United Slates!
must "learn to pace ourselves in
relation tp the Russians and the
threat of war." He said he be
lieved that American intelli
gence could unravel enough of
the Russian enigma to give us
"an adequate basis for judging
Russia's intentions as to war or
peace."
"I do feel that we must vigi
lantly watch the over-all degree
of Soviet mobilization for war
and that we dare not permit too
great a variance with our own
mobilization, or we risk war,"
Baruch said.
But, he added, he felt another
war would not begin with an
open attack on the United
States.
"It seems to me quite likely
that the 'test may come in the
more subtle form of civil war,
probably in Germany," he said.
"As a matter of fact, it might
be said that a state of civil war
already exists, because that is
what the cold war really is
neither peace nor total war but
a succession of civil conflicts,
more or less violent, wherever
the Soviets can foment such
strife."
He urged "prompt enactment
of a stand-by mobilization plan"
providing for economic as well
as military measures fi meet
war, to remove "our grayest
source of peril" which he said is
the time lag between the start
of a war and complete mobili
zation. Baruch said a stand-by mobili
zation plan should be "put into
law now, to go into instant oper
ation upon joint proclamation
by congress and the president."
He said it should include:
"An impartial selective service
law, with a work-or-fight clause;
"A readied civilian defense;
"The elimination of profiteer
ing: "The power to shut down less
essential production to give mili
tary needs priority;
"Rationing of scarce essen
tials: "Much higher taxes;
"A ceiling on all prices, rents,
wages and other costs to prevent
the inflation which could wreck
any mobilization."
