Chicago (U.R) Hoodlum Mi chael' De Stefano, whose bullet- pocked body was found stuffed in the trunk of his car, may have been the victim of an un derworld war over circulation of the missing Greenlease ran som bills, police sources said to- day. 1 - ' An anonymous telephone call led police to the spot where De Stefano's car was parked in front of the McLaren Elementary School Tuesday. School children crowded about as police lifted the body of the ex-convict and bank robber from the trunk. He had been shot five times about 12 to 15 hours before, po lice experts said. There was no blood- on -the body, clothes, or car, leading police to believe "the killers must have washed the body and put frash clothing on it." Pal Also Slain .Only 10 days earlier, De Stef ano's close friend, Dominic Christiano, also had been killed in gangland fashion. It was re ported that the FBI was seeking to link both men to the Green lease ransom bills which have suddenly begun burning up in the Midwest ' So far, 67 bills from the $300, 000 in missing blood money have been found in various parts of the country. Most of them have been recovered in the Chicago Federal Reserve Bank the 46th only Tuesday. The money is part of $600,000 which Kansas City auto dealer Robert Greenlease paid two years ago in a futile attempt to save the life of his kidnaped son. Bobby. Kidnaper -killer Carl Hall insisted he had most of the money with him when he was captured, but only about $300,- 000 was recovered. Cut Rat Sale FBI agents have said they be lieve the underworld got hold of the missing money, possibly buying it at a cut rate, and has recently unloaded most or all of the missing bills through va rious channels. De Stefano and Christiano were also believed to be mem bers of a gang which went into the risky business of robbing syndicate - operated handbooks. Four other members of the gang have been killed in recent years, apparently by gangland aven gers.;- -; ' ' V De' Stefano, who held a job with the City Bureau of Elec tricity, was last seen Monday. His long criminal record in cluded convictions for a Maus- ton. Wis., bank robbery and for setting fire to a police squad car, apparently in revenge against an officer-who had ar rested him. .

Dead line Sunday Classified Is at noon Saturday: 10 a m Monday for Monday: other days 5:30 previous day Dr. West Tells Rotary of Trip Around World Communism has suffered a startling defeat in several ten sion spots in the far east and middle east, Dr. D. Kirkland West, pastor of the First Presby terian church told members of the Medford Rotary club in a luncheon address Tuesday. Speaking at the Jackson hotel on highlights of his recent round-the-world trip, Dr. West de scribed the impact that freedom has made upon South Koreans, followed by a sweeping revival of Christianity. Since Korea was divided at the 38th parallel, more than 5, 000,000 North Koreans have moved south across the border to escape the influences of Com munist China and Russia. The people of this war-ravaged land are building churches at great personal sacrifice, enjoying free dom of worship for the first time in many years. In Formosa, too, Communism has suffered a tremendous de feat, the speaker declared. There is a tremendous swing away from Communism in Pakistan, India and other points in the Middle East, Dr. West observed, but he warned against indication of weakness which might change the presently increasing balance in favor of western ideologies. In describing his visits to var ious Rotary clubs throughout his trip, Dr. West said that the Eng lish language is almost universal ly used and only in Japan were meetings conducted in the native tongue. Here earphone translat ing equipment is employed. Men of high, ideals and prestige throughout the free world, re gardless of color, race or creed, are expanding the Rotary prin ciples of "service above self" and their impact in favor of world peace will be increasingly felt. George Flanagan, Rotary pro gram chairman, introduced Dr. West.

But getting a tank of waves for Esther to, plow ' through proved to be the biggest produc tion headache of the year. At last inspection, the NBC stage still was flooded with two inches of water. The special tank built for Esther turned out not to be waterproof. "I think by now they wished they'd never met me," sighed Esther ' during . one rehearsal while workmen mopped up the rising tide on the floors "The only solution may be to move the tank to another stage. If it keeps ' leaking during the show, Milton will be doing the sketches with water up to his ankles." - Esther has : been Interviewed on "Toast of the Town" and "Person to Person," but she's never performed on television because MGM wouldn't let her. This year she won permission for TV. Then " the networks frowned that her swimming act couldn't be done on at live show. "Milton thought it could," she said. "He wants everything to be spectacular on his show this sea son because they're all in color. He.wanted to get people like me who haven't appeared on television.-Well, he's really starting off with a splash." , NBC sent two engineers to huddle with Esther on how to get her under the whitecaps. A 40x15x10 foot tank was built. But the 18,000 gallons of water weighed 126,000 pounds, and the stage floor couldn't take .the weight. . - The tank finally was rebuilt in a V-shape to lighten the load. Four cameras were planted around the tank two next to huge plexiglass windows to show, Esther undulating under water in her apricot-colored swim suit.
