The money, all in $10 and $20 bills, was half the $600, 000 ransom paid in vain by Robert Cosgrove Greenlease, Kansas City millionaire, to the kidnapers of his 6-year-old son, Bobby.' Half the money was recov ered with the capture of the kidnap-murderers. What hap pened to most of the other half has become one of the nation's most intriguing mys teries. Three key theories domi nate the case: -The money was "pur chased" at discount rates, sim ilar to those used in counter feiting operations, by a major crime syndicate, which, per haps from a foreign base, is awaiting an opportunity to return the fortune to circula tion. -It was hidden or buried by one or several individuals who are awaiting a chance either to use it or sell it. ; -It already has been returned to circulation and, badly worn, has unknowingly been burned or replaced by treasury officials. 'Couldn't Guess' "I couldn't even guess where that money is now," St. Louis Chief of Detectives James Chapman says. "Absolutely anything could have happened to it," accord ing to Kansas City police of ficial Jack Halvey. FBI officials in St. Louis, Kansas City and Chicago said they were "watching - and waiting." For nine days in the autumn of 1953, Grenlease, 71, waited for word of his only son, taken by a ruse from a second grade class at an exclusive pa rochial school. For all nine days, it was learned later, Bobby had been dead, buried in a shallow grave beneath fall-blooming chrysanthemums behind the St. Joseph, Mo., home of Mrs Bonie Brown Heady. Pair Executed Convicted and executed for the kidnap-killing were Carl Austin Hall, a paroled drug addict, and Mrs. Heady, Hall's alcoholic mistress. It was Mrs. Heady who posed as Bobby's aunt and took him from the school on the pretext that Mrs. Green lease had just suffered a heart attack. Once outside, Mrs. Heady and Bobby took a waiting cab to a nearby park ing lot where they met Hall. Hall confessed that the three drove in a station wag on to the country and, within the hour, he tried to strangle Bobby with a 12-inch rope. The rope was not long enough and Bobby kept struggling, Hall said, so he shot the boy twice. Five days later, in reply to a ransom note, two of Green lease's business partners left two cheap metal suitcases on a bridge on an isolated coun try road. Hall picked up the suitcases. Inside was $600,000. Polic Followed 'Tip Two days passed. Then, fol lowing what they later said was "a tip," St. Louis Police Lt. Louis Shoulders and Pa trolman Elmer Dolan walked into a well-decorated motel apartment. There they found Hall and, in a closet, the two still closed metal suitcases. Hall said all the money was there. He said he had just counted it. Across town, other officials walked into a cheap hotel room and found Bonnie Heady. She was drunk and had been beaten. She said Hall had hit her. Hall and Mrs. Heady were then taken to police headquar ters. So were the two suit cases. There FBI agents opened the suitcases. They contained only $300,000. To their deaths. Hall and Mrs. Heady swore they had no idea what happened to the ASHLAND PHONE M0. S-IJSt WEDNESDAY ONLY "CURTAIN AT 8:30" The heart cries: , "DRAVO" AS THE SCREEN QIVES WINGS TO THE BELOVED "BUTTERFLY" I OlOniOOSlV TOLO IM BNOLtS f coco av TecMNtco.w i missing $300,000. Cop Quits Fore Shoulders, a 27-year-old po lice veteran, quit the force during the investigation that followed. Later he and Dolan were conviceted of prejury and sentenced to a federal penitentiary. Both have been released. Greenlease never entered the case or talked of the mat ter again after Bobby's body was found. Shoulders had contended St. Louis gangsters stole the money from Hall during a free-spending party Hall gave in his motel room the day be fore his arrest. Shoulders said he learned of Hall through two inform ants who told of a stranger in town spending money like water. Shoulders identified one of the informants as a cab driver, John. Hager. Through out, Shoulders never would tell who the other informant was. Since then, several of St. Crater Speech Contest Slated Central Point -The Crater High school Future Farmers of America chapter will hold its public speaking contest at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Crater High cafetorium here. Don Denning and John Caster will be speakers. Judges will be selected from Medford and Ashland, accord ing to Delmar Smith, public relations chairman for the chapter.

(UPI Telephoto) Pickin' Pears By SID HOLLINGSWORTH If there is any doubt in the minds of veterans concerning the importance of atomic re search and development in furnishing a key to the future, it has been dispelled by infor mation now coming to light. For some time, VA doctors have been testing the uses of radio isotopes in detecting the presence of malignancies and other internal disturbances that could not be determined before. Now comes an announce ment of the installation of an atomic reactor in the VA hos pital at Omaha, Neb., which Dr. W. E. Chamberlain, head of the atomic medicine pro gram, hails as a means of open a new door for patient care.

Lady's charred body was found in the ruins.- numbers of the missing bills were posted everywhere, Two years after the kidnap- ing, the first missing ransom bill turned up in St. Louis. It was a $20 bill. Occasionally, here and there, a few others were found. Then the ransom money stopped appearing, "The case still is open," Chapman said. "What more can we do?" News and Notes From Camp White For example, electrocardio grams fail to furnish all the information needed to deter mine the difference between a heart attack and some other condition, such as a gastroin testinal upset. This field will be explored with the- new reactor and the radio-isotopes it produces. It may simplify many tests of blood, liver and other tissues. This news will be under stood more definitely as the result of the showing of an educational film recently by fishing club members, who have inaugurated a monthly presentation along this line of general interest. The film unfolded the com plete story of the atom, from the mining of uranium along the Colorado river, to the re actor principle, and the use of radio isotopes, found so vital in medical research. There is still much to be learned about isotopes, in the ory an elusive chemical com ponent of certain elements, changing the weight as well as the structure of the atom. When radioactive, they are of special use in biology and in medicine. One phase of cultural life at Camp White does not receive the attention from a publicity standpoint that it should. This is the influence exerted by motion pictures, television and radio. Three major movie shows a week and a daily diet of TV entertainment have afforded an opportunity to develop at the station one of the most discriminating audiences in the country. Since Camp White is some what removed from other di versions, a better than aver age attendance is found. And the audience interest is recog nized by the various sponsored groups of volunteer entertain ers, who come here to present classes in music, dancing and acting.

For a survey of the drink ing practices of 1,185 adults Iowa revealed that the preva lence of drinking increases among persons raised on farms when they move to the city, two State University of Iowa researchers reported in the Quarterly Journal of Studies on Alcohol. More Urbaniies Drink In Iowa, approximately half of the farm residents drink as compared to about two thirds of the city dwellers, Dr. Harold A. Mulford and Donald E. Miller, explained. Sixty-six per cent of city residents, 55 per cent of town residents and 49 per cent of the farm population classified themselves as users of alcohol. The farm-reared group who had migrated to cities demonstrated an urban prevalence for drinking rath er than a rural one. Collegians Tipple In addition, the highest prevalence rate, 63 per cent, occurred among the college educated, compared with 51 per cent of those with only grade-school education. The evidence appears to point to some increase in the prevalence of drinking in the future as more Iowans be come city dwellers and ac quire more education than their parents, the men explained. Marriages Now Said Lasting Longer, Better Chicago (UPD The average modern marriage is lasting longer . . . and lasting better. Mr. and Mrs. Newlywed can expect 43 years of wedded bliss - or battle until death do them part, three census ex perts told the American Asso ciation for the Advancement of Science recently. This altar-to-grave span is 12 years longer than the 31 years grandma and grandpa could expect to live after their turn-of-the-century mar riage. - Prediction for 1980 By 1980, the census men said, the average couple can expect to celebrate their 47th wedding anniversary before either the husband or wife is taken by death. But today's newlyweds are a brave lot. Even when faced with 43 years of togetherness, they are averaging only one divorce in four marriages, compared with one in three only a few years ago. Experts Report The experts, Paul C. Glick, John C. Beresford and David Heer of the U.S. Bureau of the Census, dropped these sta tistics in their reports on fam ily life pattern at the AAAS' annual meeting. They also said that: -Families are growing. In 1950, the average family num bered 3.5 persons.

Limbs Available For Handicapped Washington -(Science Serv iced Most children handi capped by the loss of an arm or leg can become nearly as independent as other boys and girls, the chief of the Chil dren's Bureau said here re cently. The artificial arms and legs now available can be fitted on youngsters. When these boys and girls are properly trained to use them, they can per form most functions, Kathe rine B. Oettinger explaned in a new phamphlet, "The Child With a Missing Arm or Leg.' The past history of the de velopment of artificial limbs centers around rapid adapta tions of devices developed for veterans of World War II. The phamphlet points out that there are various kinds of prosthetic devices available. In addition to the adult-sized hand already on the market for both men and women, a child's hand is now being test ed prior to being put in gen eral use.

Br OSCAR FRALEY United Press International those "in" the monopoly worked with the monotonous regularity of Broadway actors. Meanwhile, and partially be cause of this cauliflower car tel, the United States held a lock on the world titles. But suddenly - and credit the determined new investi gators if you will - bright new faces are appearing before the electronic eye and the bal ance of power quite happily has shifted away from a well trained troupe of tiresome American tigers. Syndicate In Control There was a time, when the puppeteers of the profession were in uncontested control, in which the various world titles were kept under full control for economic reasons. Occasionally they would be permitted to shift abroad, as in the case of Primo Camera, but this was a transition in name only. Camera was ex hibited, milked and mas sacred. To mask the deceptions, there was an inspired slogan, to the effect that "there just aren't any good young fight ers anymore." Behind the fraudulent facade, the syndi cate manipulated, the same weary cast month in and year out. ! But now, quite suddenly, young fighters are being found and in the process the balance of power has shifted aroad. At the moment, three of the eight world titles are held abroad. Sweden's Ingemar Jo hansson is the heavyweight king, Argentina's P a s q u a 1 Perez bosses the flyweights and Mexico's Jose Becerra rules the bantams. Brings In Foreigners There are eight classes with 10 ranking fighters in each division. Of these 80 rated battlers, 50 per cent ar foreigners. Disproving the theory that there aren't any good new fighters, Teddy Brenner as matchmaker at the Garden has brought in a host of for eigners and most of them have proved more than satis factory. This new crop in cluded such as Florentino Fernandez and Benny Kid Paret of Cuba, Dick Tiger of Nigeria and Willie Toweel of South Africa. Next you'll be seeing two young Swedish heavyweights, both unbeaten. They are Torner Ahsman an4 Lennart Risberg, two Johans son stablemates, who will bf viewed on video in February; "Most of these fighters nev er would have gotten a chance before," Brenner says. "But they won't be denied an op portunity now. The fans want to see new faces and we'r going to provide them." . iii.ii nm r i : 1 1 1 li lAYfjS&i ENDS TONITE jm CO CmtmiScoi,linroCOm -?iH!.iwvMiia ENDS HERE TONITE SURPRISE!
