GIVING POLICE FIRST WORD of mysterious disappearance of Actress Marie McDon
ald (left), Mrs. Marie Tuboni (right), her mother, reported man telephoned her early
in morning that "we have Marie. 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. Recommendations
were turned in later.
Dr. Steiner said an advisory
commission on crime and crime
prevention could make recom
mendations to the mayor and to
the general public of steps which
should be taken for more ef
fective policing of Portland.
Hempstead. N. Y. (U.R) T h e
condition of Chilean Nobel prize
winner Gabriela Mistral was
termed "very poor and very
critical" early today by doctors
of the Hempstead General hos
pital, where she has been under
treatment since Dec. 29. Doc
tors would give no other de
tails at this time.

A record reward to the thrifty! More than 5900,000,000 in earnings
went to the 18 million people who saved in 1956 at insured Savings and
Loan Associations. More new savings . . . making the total more than
$34 billion ... are now entrusted to the nation's insured Savings and
Loan Associations. And each account is insured up to $10,000 by the
Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. More homes
financed. 1 out of every 3 home mortgages 70 more home loans than
any other type of lending institution was provided last year by insured
Savings and Loan Associations, too.

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.

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.

Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia and

made no mention of an agree
ment which the official Hungar
ian news agency M.I.T. reported

The communique contained a
bitter blast against the United
States for its new Middle East
policy.
It blamed the United States
for the situation in the Middle
East and warned that the new
"Eisenhower doctrine" would re
sult in a deterioration of the Mid
dle East situation.
