Marines Reach
Top of Whitney
Lone Pine, Calif. - (LTD - A
column of 201 Marines Thurs
day completed a 175-mile hike
from blistering desert to 14,
490 foot snow-capped Mt.
Whitney.
The rugged Leathernecks
planted the national colors
and the flag of the 1st Recon
naissance Battalion, 1st Ma
rine Division, Camp Pendle
ton, Calif., on the mountain
crest.
The gruelling march took
them from the lowest point
in the continental United
States, Death Valley, Calif.,
which is 252 feet below sea
level, to the second highest
point without a single man
dropping by the wayside.
At times temperatures in
the desert reached above the
100-degree mark. Their last
day was troubled by bad
weather, and rugged terrain.
It forced them to cancel a
planned additional hike of 33
miles.
At least four-fifths of the
battalion had blisters on their
feet as they began the final
ascent to the mountain peak,
and one acting sergeant made
it to the top with a dislocated
shoulder.
Gasoline Price
War in Portland
Portland-(UPD-Retail prices
were as low as 23.8 cents per
gallon for regular gasoline to
day. Dealers said no end was in
sight to the current price war.
A dealer in the Sellwood
district said a competing sta
tion posted a 24.8 cent price
but was giving a 2-cent per
gallon rebate. .
Several stations were sell
ing regular gasoline at 24.9
cents with premidum down
to 29.9.
Prices were reported higher
in the Willamette valley with
regular going at 31.9 cents in
many places. But in other
parts of Oregon regular sold
up to 38.9 cents per gallon.

Just a short time ago, he walked into his dealer's show
room with his heart and his hopes high to see if the time
had come for his first Cadillac
Well his fondest hopes were realized and here he is
today with the car of his dreams.
AVhat were the facts about Cadillac that made this
happy, and memorable momenD possible?
First -of all, the cost of a new Cadillac is remarkably
modest so much so, in fact, that many models are priced
competitively with other cars of American manufacture.
And because Cadillac's initial price includes so many
basic features that cost extra with other makes Cadillac
is actually the price rival of cars of far less stature.

Guilty Verdict
In Strangulations
San Diego - (DPI - The same
jury of six men and six wom
en which Thursday night
found an Illinois couple guilty
of the first degree murder of
two small boys because they
were "a bother," reconvened
today to determine whether
the couple should die' in the
gas chamber or spend their
lives in prison.
Mrs. Wanda Brogdon, 33,
mother of the slain boys, and
Kenneth Merriam, her lover,
showed no sign of emotion
when the jury, after 10 hours
of deliberation, found them
guilty of two counts of first
degree murder.
Each of the counts carries
a mandatory sentence in Cali
fornia of life imprisonment or
death in the gas chamber. Un
der state law the same jury
which tries a capital punish
ment case must meet in a
separate hearing to determine
the sentence.
The couple attempted
throughout the eight-day trial
to blame each other for the
strangulation of Virgil Jr., 5,
and David Brogdon, 3, last
May 2. Both previously were
found sane in a separate san
ity hearing.
15 Years Meted
For Manslaughter
Vale, Ore. (UPD Edward
O'Conner, 38, of Giltner, Neb.,
today faced a maximum sent
ence of 15 years in the Ore
gon state prison for the blud
geon death last May of a San
Francisco man.
O'Conner entered a plea of
guilty to a reduced charge of
manslaughter, in Circuit
Court here. He had been
scheduled to go on trial next
Monday.
He was charged in connec
tion with the death of Eugene
Potter, 62 whose body was
found last May 16 in a motel
at Rome, . in eastern Oregon.
O'Conner was arrested later
at Reno, Nev., and returned
here.
There is also Cadillac's extraordinary economy of own
ership. The car is amazingly frugal with gasoline and truly
marvelous in its dependability.
And then there is the way a Cadillac protects its ow ner's
investment. For such is the demand for Cadillac that the
car returns an exceptionally high percentage of its original
cost at the time of resale.
Those are the facts and the conclusion, we feel, is
obvious: if you are considering any mofor car even in
the medium price field you owe yourselx a visit to your
Cadillac dealer's showroom before you make your decision.
He'll be waiting for you with the most surprising
economy story of the year!

favorite, Vincent Lopez, hired a young Broadway character
who swore he could plant items in every column in town.
Lopez awaited results in

the young man burst in and
cried elatedly, "Well, Boss,
we've got the lead-off item
in the hottest column in the
business tonight!" Gratified,
Lopez turned to the column
indicated. The first item
read, "What ever became of
Vincent Lopez?"

Missing New Jersey
Socialite Found on
Street in Chicago
Chicago -UPD- Missing New
Jersey society girl Jacqueline
Gay Hart, 21, was found wan
dering hysterical and incoh-
herent on a downtown street
early today. She said she had
been kidnaped.
The beautiful blonde so
cialite told of being abducted
by two men after she saw
her fiance, Stanley E. Games,
25, Fayetteville, W. Va., off
at the Newark Airport Tues
day night.
Her father, Ralph A. Hart,
executive vice president of
Colgate Palmolive Co., and
Gaines left New York for Chi
cago on a special plane char
tered by a New York news
paper. Bound With Rope
Miss Hart told police, and
her father by telephone to her
Short Hills, N.J., home, that
she had been seized at the
brightly - lighted exit to the
terminal, forced into a car
and bound with rope.
Her diamond engagement
ring, valued at about $5,000,
was missing when she was
found, as was a gold flower
pin she was believed to have
been wearing.
Hart said she recalled hear
ing her kidnapers plan to
make a demand for ransom
during the first several hours
of her captivity, but had no
recollection of events from
that time until she was push
ed out of a car in Chicago
today.
"Daddy, I'm geared," she
told him on the telephone.
"Come and get me."
Deputy Chief of Chicago
Detectives Howard Pierson
said, however, that police
have not discounted the pos
sibility that Miss Hart may
have had a recurrence of am
nesia which affected her mem
ory briefly after an automo
bile accident two years ago,
He said no immediate at
tempt was being made to find
her alleged kidnapers because:
"We're unable to talk to her.
She's hysterical, but calming
down a bit now."
Flags Down Officer
Miss Hart was first seen by
patrolman Jack Blakeslee who
was driving a squad car down
Columbus dr., near Lake
Michigan. He' said the girl
flagged him down, opened the
car door and jumped in.
Weeping, she said, "I'm Gay
Hart. I'm from New Jersey,
according to Blakeslee.
. Blakeslee radioed for help
and another squad car in the
neighborhood, driven by pa
trolman James Miskell, joined
him.
They took her to the Cen
tral police station.
At the station, Lt. Charles
Pierson. Howard Pierson's
brother, said the girl was still
hysterical but refused medical
attention. Officers gave her
some aspirin in water and
wrapped her in a blanket.
She' bore two bruises on
her arm, which Miskell said
indicated she was held forci
bly. She also had a 'swollen
liD and her hair, while not
dishevelled, was not in "good
condition," according to Pier
son. Howard Pierson said the
girl was wearing the same
clothes she had on when she
left Newark and she was still
carrying her purse. The
clothes don't look too bad to
me," Howard Pierson said,
"and they weren't wet from
the rain we had today."
Miskell said her clothes
"were in darn good condition"
considering the circumstances.
