No harm will come if police are not notified." Call was received at Encino, Cal. home where Miss McDonald lived. (International) Marie McDonald Thinks Kidnap Job Was Well Planned in Advance Hollywood U.R) Marie Mc Donald said today that she thinks "the case of the kidnaped 'body' " was planned well in ad vance because her two alleged abductors "walked into my house as if they had lived there all their lives." In exclusive interview with United Press, the 32-year-old blonde gave her version of a 24 hour ordeal which she claimed began last Thursday night when two zoot-suit type youths kid naped her from her 565,000 home. Miss McDonald said an "ene my" may have arranged the kid naping because "any one else would have taken my baby." Los Angeles detectives said they know more about the case than they have revealed and "in a few days we should have it all out in the open. We have to lay all the facts before our superiors first." Marie's theory as to who may have master-minded the bizarre kidnaping was one point of her story that she revealed for the first time since returning to her Encino home late Saturday by private ambulance from Indio Pope Blames Society For Juvenile Trouble Vatican City (U.R) Much of the world's juvenile malad justment and delinquency is the fault of present day society, Pope Pius XII said Sunday in an Epi phany message to the Italian As sociation for the Protection of Maternity and Infancy. The pontiff deplored the fact that often radio, television and the press tend to take the place of the parents as educators of their children. Pope Pius noted "the grow ing invasion of some methods of thought diffusion," which he said were "useful perhaps for mature and sane grown-ups, but unsuitable to the innocent souls of the children." where she was found wandering along a desert road. Pushed Open Gate "They must have pushed open the electric gate," she said as she rested in the bedroom of her ear ly American-style house. "Anybody can I do some times when I forget my key. The boxer didn't bark. He's like that. He even walked with us all the way to the gate when they took me away. "Those two men cane in, calm as anything, and knew every inch of the house. They made me get out the note paper and newspapers for the kidnap note. "I think they were high on something. One of them had a gun. We got in a car and they blindfolded men and we just kept going round and round. Once we stopped for gas and they made me lie on the floor of the car." Forced to Telephone She said that she telephoned friends while being held prison er because her abductors forced her to. "They told me to call a col umnist," she went on. "They wanted to alarm the people they planned to ask for ransom mon ey. The only number I could remember was Harrison Car roll's (columnist for the Los An geles Herald-Express). "They would ask me a num ber, dial it for me and then hand me the phone. The only call I made without their knowledge was to my business manager and when they caught me with the phone they smacked me." She said that the young men planned to ask .520.000 each from her wealthy ex-husband, shoe magnate Harry Karl; her current boy friend, actor Mi chael Wilding; her mother, Mrs. Marie Tuboni, and her business manager, Harold Plant. Gave Her Pills "They gave me pills to take, big white pills with a blue cross. They made me wash them down with strong whiskey," the blonde actress said, her voice snaking with fatigue and emo tion. "I held some of the pills in my cheek and didn't swallow them." She said one of the youths called the other, "Gasser." After Marie was found wan dering on the desert near Indio early Saturday, police quoted her as saying she had been raped. A doctor later said she had not been. Today when asked about the reports she cried, "Oh, please, I can't talk any more." Detectives said they plan to question her today regarding a seven-carat diamond ring she says the kidnapers stole. Advisory Crime Commission Urged Portland (U.R) A pastor sug gested yesterday that Mayor Terry Schrunk name an advis ory commission on crime and crime prevention composed of public spirited citizens. The suggestion was made by Dr. Richard M. Steiner, pastor of First Unitarian church, in ser mons yesterday. Dr. Steiner revealed he was one of a group of religious and civic leaders here who was in vited by the new mayor to inter view four leading candidates for police chief.

Correspondents See Future Headlines United Press correspodents around the world look ahead at the news that will make the headlines. Damn Yankees" United States diplomats are seriously concerned over the "hate America" feeling in Brit ain. They hoped it would end when the Suez Canal situation quieted down. It did abate briefly. But now it's at boiling point. Veteran foreign corres pondents in London say they've never seen so much "coloring" of British news reports to make Americans look silly or stupid. or so many snide remarks about anything American. The latest development is that they are picking on Texas. The news papers are dragging out all the old jokes about Texas and Texans. The reason: They see a dark Texas plot to "milk Britain dry" by upping gasoline prices because of the shortage caused by the blocking of the canal. Birth of an Heir Latest inside word from the royal palace in Monte Carlo is that Princess Grace of Monaco probably will bear her first-born child between Jan. 12 and Jan. 20. The vanguard of an army of of newsmen from all over the world is starting to move in to cover the big event. And money is being flashed about in an at tempt to sew up informed palace contacts. Prince Rainier is reported to have warned mem bers of his household staff sternly to shy away from all reporters. Policy European diplomats believe the huddle of Communist leaders in Budapest means that Mos cow finally has worked a de tailed policy line on the satel lite countries. They figure the Russians are determined to keep tough "Stalinist" leaders in con trol in all satellite countries ex cept Poland, despite growing un rest. This would mean that pup pet Premier Janos Kadar will not be sacrificed, as had been predicted, to the demands of re bellious Hungarians. They be lieve the fact that Nikita S. Khrushchev and Georgi M. Mal enkov represented Russia in Budapest means (1) that Khrushchev has successfully ridden out the failure of his "de- Stalinization" policy and (2) that Malenkov, dismissed as premier because of his liberal policies, has been fully restored to favor. Time Out Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru will lay aside his self determination policies briefly when the United Nations Se curity Council debates the Kash mir problem Jan. 16. The state of Kashmir has been in dispute between India and Pakistan since those countries won their independence in 1947. Kashmir is ruled by Hindus, like India. But its people are predominatly Moslems, like Pakistanis. Nehru refuses to hold a free plebiscite on Kashmir's future. Pakistan calls his attitude imperialist and colonialist. Let's Fight Look for President Syngman Rhee of the Republic of Korea to open a big campaign soon for denunciation of the Korean armistice. Rhee is determined to march into North Korea sooner or later. Repudiation of the armi stice is his major goal for 1957. The first sign that his campaign is opening will be the staging of "spontaneous" street demon strations all carefull organiz ed by the government. Monday. January 7. 193? MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE Monopoly Charged In CAB Decision Washington (U.R) Pan American World Airways pro tested to the Civil Aeronautics Board today that an examiner's recommendation gives North west Airlines a monoply on di rect trans-Pacific service from Seattle, Wash., and Portland, Ore. The recommendations by CAB Examiner William F. Cusick, PAA said, would "largely de prive the traveling and shipping public and the Post Office De partment of the benefits of ef fective competition and would undermine the ability of PAA to remain free of subsidy." In exceptions filed with the CAB, the airline charged Cusick erred in failing to recommend direct orient service by PAA from Seattle and Portland - as well as from San Francisco and Los Angeles. ' Pan American said elimination of "the wasteful routine re strictions" placed on it would result in a reduction of passeng er rates to the Orient by an aver age of $100 a trip. Under its present authority, the airline said, it is forced to fly longer routes through mid Pacific islands to Tokyo than is Northwest Airlines.
