FBI Enters
Today; Hoax PhoneCallsContinue
Westbury, N.Y. U.B The
FBI enters the Weinberger kid
naping case today in attempt to
solve the July 4th abduction
which has baffled Nassau county
police.
The G-men will take official
charge of the investigation
shortly after 3 p.m. (EDT), exact
ly seven days since the infant
Peter was kidnaped from his
carriage on the patio of the
Weinberger home.
Under the U.S. kidnap law,
the so-called Lindbergh Law, a
kidnaper is presumed to have
crossed state lines if his victim is
not found within seven days.
This permits the FBI to take
jurisdiction of the case.
Plagued By Hoaxes
The federal agents were ex
pected to organize a harsh crack
down on crank telephone calls
and hoaxes which have inter
fered with the investigation and
brought further heartbreak to
the month-old infant's parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Morris Weinberger.
Mrs. Betty Weinberger was
lured Tuesday to two more fake
meetings with the supposed kid
naper. Earlier in the day, a hoax
telephone call from a fast-talking
woman sent police on
I another fruitless search for the
missing baby in a Long Island
convent.
The hoax telephone calls were
disclosed by the Rev. Thomas
Code, Roman Catholic pastor
who has offered to serve as an
intermediary between the kid
naper and the family.
The callers, one a man and
the other a woman, told the
Weinbergers they were not in
terested in the $5,000 ransom
but had information about the
kidnaping. Neither appeared at
the appointed rendezvous times
with Mrs. Weinberger,
"These people are behaving
awfully who call the Weinberg
ers with these fake advices," the
priest said.
Woman Phones Newsman
The wild-goose chase occurred
when a woman telephoned news
editor Jack Slocum of the Co
lumbia Broadcasting System,
Speaking calmly and precisely.
the woman told Slocum that
Peter would be left at a convent
at isolated Lookout Point, a Long
Island beach resort.
Police searched the sanctuary,
adjoining convent and other
buildings of Our Lady of the
Miraculous Medal without find
ing a trace of the missing infant.
Mrs. Weinberger faced another
Fund for Republic
Researcher Said
Once Active Red
Washington (U.R) A New
York newsman testified today
that one of the researchers on
the Fund for the Republic's re
port about blacklisting in the
entertainment field was once
"very active" in a "Communist"
group on Time magazine.
Frederick Woltman, staff writ
er for the New York World-
Telegram and Sun, identified
the resarcher as Elizabeth Poe
of Los Angeles. Miss Poe assist
ed in a part of the report deal
ing with blacklisting of Com
munist-tainted actors in the
movie industry.
Woltman told the House Un
American Activities committee
that he had asked John Cogley,
author of the report, why he
had hired Miss Poe to help John
Jacobs in the Hollywood study.
Woltman quoted Cogley as
replying:
"We've got one anti-Commu
nist, Jacobs, and we need some
one friendly to them."
Woltman was called in the
committee's investigation of the
. blacklist report. He has been
identified as one of the persons
having a hand in getting "clear-
ance" for actors thrown out of
work because of false Commu
' nist charges.
Earlier, Arnold Forster, gen
eral counsel for B'Nai B'Rith's
Anti-Defamation league, told
the committee that a serious
problem of black-listing" does
exist in the entertainment field.
He praised the report for bring
ing it to light.
Urging the committee to seek
a solution to the problem, For
ster said it was a "dreadful
thing" for entertainers to be
thrown out of work because of
Communist charges without giv
ing them a chance to be heard
cn the charges.
Committee Chairman Francis
E. Walter (D-Pa.). lauded Wolt
man for his "great contribution"
,n the fight against Communism.
So did Rep. Donald L. Jackson
' (R-Calif.).
Denied Employment
Forster said his organization
knows of cases where entertain
ers have been told their services
were not needed because of
charges that had been made
against them which they had not
had a chance to answer.
Cogley Tuesday identified For
ster as "the public relations ex
pert" quoted in the report as
one who had steered blacklist
ed entertainers falsely accused
of Communist charges to persons
who could clear them for re

Federal Mediators
Confer With Steel
Industry Officials
Washington U.PJ Feder
al mediators conferred with steel
industry officials today in an
effort to set up new management
and union talks in the 11-day-old
steel strike.
A four-man delegation of in
dustry representatives, headed
by U. S. Steel Vice President
John A. Stephens, met with Fed
eral Mediation Chief Joseph F.
Finnegan and his aides.
The steel men were expected
to agree to resume talks with
the steelworkers union in Pitts
burgh Thursday afternoon. But
there was no indication an early
settlement would be forthcom
ing. David J. McDonald, president
of the striking United Steelwork
ers, agreed to resumption of labor-management
talks late Tues
day in a meeting with Finnegan.
Talks In Pittsburgh
The renewed talks between un
ion and management the first
since shortly before the strike
began on July 1 would be
held Thursday afternoon at Pitts
burgh's William Penn Hotel with
federal officials sitting in, if the
company agrees.
The dispute has idled 650,000
steel workers and up to 90,000
workers whose jobs depend on
a supply of steel. McDonald in
sists it is an industry shut down,
while the industry Is just as
positive in calling it a strike.
The disagreement involves the
length of the labor contract to
be signed, as well as wages and
other benefits. Neither side has
shown signs of agreeing to the
other's proposals, and Finnegan
said after his talk with McDon
ald that "nothing has changed
my estimate of the gravity of the
situation."

The spokesman said Zanuck
received his reply from the So

It said:
"The ministry of culture of the
USSR found your proposal about
cooperation in making a film
based on 'The Secret Crimes of

proposal caused in the ministry
a great deal of indignation.
Please be informed that the min

Central Figure in Sensational Oregon
Murder Case Soon Will Receive Parole
Salem (U.R) Sometime later i
this month the central figure in
one of Oregon's most sensational
murder trials will be released on
parole from the women's ward
of Oregon State penitentiary.
She is aging, auburn-haired
Mrs. Gladys Broadhurst, who
was convicted of planning the
murder of her wealthy and old
er chiropractor husband, Willis
Broadhurst, on a lonely Jordan
Valley road south of Ontario in
October, 1946.
Not Present at Death
Mrs. Broadhurst was not pres
ent when her husband was
killed. But her lover, a husky
young farmhand nomed Al L.
Williams, was on hand armed
with a heavy wrench and a shot
gun. He used both on the doctor.
Williams, who claimed he was
38 but was actually in his 20s
at the" time of the crime, had
been employed on the Jordan
Valley farm which Dr. Broad
hurst owned in addition to his
practice in Nampa, Ida.
Mrs. Broadhurst fell hard for
the youth and her infatuation
put an abrupt end to a romance
with Dr. Broadhurst. The result
was a plan for murder.
The two were picked up a
few days after the act. Williams
pleaded guilty and was sen
tenced to life imprisonment
without trial. The fortyish Mrs.
Broadhurst stoutly maintained
her innocence throughout her
first degree murder trial in
Vale, but was convicted and
also sentenced to life imprison
ment. The trial, with its heady mix
ture of three-cornered love and
violence, caused much public

Under Oregon law which re
quires seven years before a life
term prisoner can be paroled,
Mrs. Broadhurst became eligible
for parole March 27, 1954. On
July 2, this year, the State Board
of Probation and Parole decided
she was ready to enter society
again after 9 years and 3 months
behind bars. Her prison record
was good.
Williams is still serving his
sentence.
While in prison, performing
the rounds of cooking, sewing,
classes and housework reserved
for women prisoners, Mrs.
Broadhurst was able to face the
fact of her guilt. She admitted
plotting the murder of her hus
band and tried to plan for the
future.
What that future will be is
not yet clear. A job is being
found for her and as soon as
arrangements are complete, she

Survivors of Greece
Earthquake Ordered
To Stay on
Athens U.R) The Greek
government ordered survivors of
the Thera earthquakes to remain
on the crumbling, ash-covered
island in the Agean Sea' today
despite new tremors that sent
terrified islanders scurrying into
open fields. ,
One eyewitness of the disaster
which killed or injured more
than 150 people and destroyed
half the homes on the 36-square-mile
island said the picturesque
isle appears to have been "de
stroyed forever."
"The capital (Thera) is a 90
per cent loss," said Christos
Svolopulos, special correspond
ent to a Greek newspaper. "Most
houses and villages perched high
in the mountains are ready to
crumble into the sea."
The premier's office in Athens
announced officially that 48 per
sons were killed on Thera. But
other reports said at least 57
were killed and nearly 100 in
jured on the island Monday
when an earthquake opened fiery
volcanic craters and rolled up a
destructive" 13-foot tidal wave.
New tremors and a small tidal
wave struck two more islands 80
1 miles from Thera Tuesday, while
