Confessed Kidnaper

Stockton, Calif. U.R) The
incredible story of a woman
whofeigned a pregnancy and
deceived even her own husband
was told today by Mrs. Betty
Jean Benedicto, 27, confessed
Office Workers in
No Danger From Robot
Chicago (U.R) The elec
tronic robot is not yet ready to
replace office workers.
After a ' study of the four
phases of "electronic brain" op
eration, "it becomes more .appar
ent that the completely auto
matic office made up of only
sexless and shapeless machinery
will not become a reality," said
J. Douglas Elliott of the Detroit
Edison Co.
There are still going to be a
lot of peopltf around as "masters
of the equipment; many of their
jobs are going to be enlarged;
and employees of average ability
will be able to run the electronic
system without need for hiring
outside experts," according to
Elliott.
Some jobs may - go out the
window because of the electronic
brai, but employees will be
given time to find other posi
tions. "It will probably take any
company installing an electronic
system six months to three years
to--complete the work," said Elli
ott, and this will lighten tha
problem of employee transfer
and training.
But in offices vihich decide
to go electronic, large-scale data
processing machines are going
to "take people to tell them what
to do, take people to get work
ready for them, take people to
operate them and take people
to interpret the results produc
ed," Elliott added. .

kidnaper of little Robert Mar
cus.
Mrs. Benedicto revealed that
she had a caesarean delivery
three or four years ago and her
baby died. She was married at
thv time to a man named Ted
Walker in Los Angeles. .He was
killed later in a motorcycle ac
cident, i
I wasn't able to have any chil
dren after that, but I always
wanted a boy of my own," she
said.
Put on Weight .
She married Mark Benedicto,
52, editor of a Filipino newspa
per here, last October.
"He was very good to me,"
she said.. "When we were mar-1
ried I weigRed 134 pounds. Then
I began putting on weight, and
people asked me if I was preg
nant Finally I said yes, though
I knew it couldn't be."
Mrs. Benedicto went to the
southern California city last
month and told her husband
when she returned that she had
given birth to a baby but left it
with her mother because the
child had dysentery and would
have to remain in a hospital.
"Mark became very insistent,"
she said. "He wanted to see our
boy. I told him I would go and
get him."
Lots of Babies '
Mrs. Benedicto said she decid
ed to come to San Franciso. She
went to Mt. Zion hospital where
the Marcus baby had been born
only two days before.
"I saw two or three nurses
standing at a desk and asked
them where the maternity ward
was," she narrated. "Then I
walked up to the nursery and
there was a room just full of
babies.
"Then I saw the name on the
Marcus baby, both on the crib
and on the leg beads. Marcus is
my husband's name Mark
and that gave me the impulse to
take him.
"I took him when nobody was
in the room. I wrapped him ic
his yellow blanket. I walked
Salvation Army
Provides Camp for
Needy Children
(Editor'! ote: Tftis is the second in
a series of brief arUcles describing
the agencies which benefit from the
United Medford Crusade fund drive,
now under way. Material is supplied
by the agencies themselves.)
The Salvation Army, aided by
funds contributed through the
United Medford Crusade, main
tains a summer camp at Lake
of the Woods for under
priviledged boys and girls.
The camp provides a 10-day
vacation for boys and girls be
tween the ages of 8 and 16 who
otherwisew ould not be able to
enjoy ci.mp life.
The facilities at the camp in
clude a large portion of the
shores of Lake 6f the .Woods,
where youngsters are offered
activities including swimming,
supervised boating, fishing,
hikes, and scenic trips.
The Medford Elks lodge has
met the operational expenses of
the camp for many years. Im
provements on the property, in
cluding a newly-installed dock
and other equipment, have been
contributed by the Medford
Junior Chamber of Commerce.
The camp is a small, but im
portant part of the program car
ried on by the Salvation Army
in Jackson county. Contributions
to the United Medford Crusade
make this program possible.
down the stairs. I was afraid
somebody might see me. . I saw
only one person coming up the
street. He smiled at me when
he saw the baby."
Bought- Bottles; Formula
Mrs. Benedicto said that she
drove first to Tracy, Calif., and
bought some bottles and a
baby's formula, and then went
on to her Stockton home.
"The next day I saw Dr. Mar
cus on TV," she said. "He was a
nice man. I changed to the for
mula he had advised. If Dr.
Marcus had not said over and
over ..that I loved the baby and
that's why I took it if he had
said ' instead that I was a bad
woman I never would have
given it up." v' -- j
More Wealth Under
Private Enterprise
Guatemala City U.R) Guate
mala is sporting a fatter pocket-
book under private enterprise
than it did under Communist
intervention.
Government economists say
the country's brighter economic
outlook is due to the return of
"flight capital" and increased
loans and technical aid from non
Communist nations.
During the last year of Com
munist government in Guate
mala millions of dollars Irom
coffee sales and other business
capital were deposited in for
eign banks.
The government policy of na
tionalizing business and the in
security of private landowners
who never knew when their
crops or land might be seized
caused the mass flight of capital.
Money for Industry
But the "scared money" is
coming back at the rate of near
ly a million dollars a month,
said Economy Minister Jorge
Arenales Catalan.
Money in circulation, $95,000,
000 (U. S.) as compared to $92,
000,000 toward the endfof the
government of ousted president
Jacobo Arbenz, also indicates the
stepped-up rhythm of commer
cial activity, the minister said.
And more money is available
to Guatemalan industry.
The government's Institute for
Fomenting production granted
credits amounting to $889,913
during the first half of this year.
This is more than twice the
$369,961 granted during 1954,
half of which was under the
Arbenz regime.
This shot in the industrial arm
is showing results in Guate
mala's first industrial exposition
where more than 2,000 daily visi
tors are seeing products from 56
national industries, 11 of which
were started after the expulsion
of the Communists.
Construction Revived
Of the 56 industries represent
ed at the ' exposition, one-third
are owned by combined Guate
malan and foreign capital.
Also, Guatemala's new inter
national position has enabled it
to receive loans and iecbnical
aid from the West for renewal
of long abandoned road, hospital
and communications projects.
The United States alone has
appropriated $3,675,000 to re
open construction on: a coast-to-coast
road and contributed $1,
425,000. for work on Guatemala's
section of the Pan American
Highway.
These visible signs of the coun
try's growing economic stability
are resulting in increased inves
tor confidence, - says Arenales
Catalan who predicted even
greater commercial acjjvity dur
ing the second half of 1955.
Tibetans have never used the
expression "Dalai Lama," Mon
golian for "Wide Ocean," for the
venerated rulers of Lhasa, says
the National Geographic society
The Dalai Lamas have r- been
spoken of as Gyalpo Rimpoche,
"Esteemed King." To their im
