Divorcee Tells
Tale of Terror
Atlanta, Ga. (U.R) FBI
agents here are trying fo
straighten out a tangled tale of
violence starring a beautiful
21-year-old brunette, suspected
as an accomplice in a bank
holdup.
Divorcee Mary Crawford Fo
garty surrendered to the FBI
for "protection," telling agents
she was an unwitting accomplice
in a S6.900 holdup in Luthsr
ville, Ga. a week ago. She said
two men, identified as William
Duncan and Jack Waites, forced
her to drive their getaway car
at gunpoint. She said she drove
through police barricades with
a pistol at her throat.
Miss Fogarty told the FBI the
men took her to Cincinnati. She
fled, headed south, and gave
herself up in Atlanta because,
she said, she was trying to "keep
from being killed."
On her information, Atlanta
detective tracked Waites and
Duncan to an Atlanta hotel
room. Both men had pistols
under their pillows when they
were nabbed. Police say they
recovered about $1,500.
Fulbrighf Says GOP
Fears Economy Probe
Washington (U.R) Sen. Ful
liam Fulbright says Republicans
seem to be afraid that the na
tion's economy can't stand inves
tigation. The Arkansas Democrat lash
ed out at Republicans who have
criticized the Senate Banking
Committee's investigation of the
stock market. Fulbright says
that apparently he has more con
fidence in the strength of Amer
ica than his Republican critics
have. Fulbright, who is chair
man of the banking committee,
deplored what he called the in
jection of partisan politics into
the investigation.
Meanwhile, the United States
Chamber of Commerce says
there is nothing in the economy
to foreshadow a collapse of the
stock market. And yesterday,
prices on the market eased
quietly upward.
YOUNGSTER KILLED
Portland (U.R) Four-year-old
Larry Eugene Gilchrist,
Portland, was killed yesterday
when he was struck by an auto
mobile as he ran across the road
near his home.
McKay Says Bureau
May Eventually Be
Self-Sustaining
Washington (U.R) Interior
Secretary Douglas McKay said
today the Interior Department
"May eventually be self-sustaining"
with the revenue it receives
from power, oil, and gas re
ceipts. McKay made the statement in
an interview as a House Appro
priations Subcommittee made
public testimony by him and
and other department officials
in support of their request for
an appropriation of 424,461,000
for the fiscal year beginning
next July 1.
Natural Resources
"I like to think of the depart
ment as the department of na
tural resources," McKay said,
"and we can make it a self-sustaining
department if we take
care of these resources."
McKay said the department
now is within about $80,000,000
of being self-sustaining. Rep. Mi
chael J. Kirwan (D-O.), chairman
of the subcommittee, claims the
department now is "in the
black" and "has more money
coming in than we're putting
into this bill." .
Kirwan counted estimated net
receipts from all funds which to
tal 8428,191,348. This includes
trust funds of $42,422,686 which
do not belong to the Interior De
partment. A large part of the
trust funds is money the depart
ment is holding for Indians and
belongs to them.
Receipts Lowered
Knocking out the trust funds
lowers the department's estimat
ed 1956 receipts to.S385,768,662
or $38,692,894 less than the ap
propriation request.
McKay said this still is not a
fair or "business-like" estimate
of receipts because it includes
things like duck stamp sales and
repayments to the department
on projects for which the gov
ernment already has shelled out
the money. McKay said he did
not have the figure immediately
available, but the difference be
tween the proposed appropria
tion and being self-sustaining
probably was about $80,000,000.
The largest income items for
the Interior Department are the
leases, rentals and royalties
from oil, gas and minerals, and
power revenues.
One of the largest tunnels in
the world is believed to be the
Alva B. Adams irrigation tun
nel in Colorado. It is nine feet
in diameter and extends a dis
tance of 13.1 miles.

ill and Premier Joseph Stalin
spoke slightingly of France.

Punishment Eased

stands.

all pay and allowances. But a re
view board at Camp Gordon,

Army, and that he pay fines
totaling $450 over a period of
six months.

martial had testified that he
ordered one recruit hung up by
his ankles, and said he had or

his company in shape.
