300,000 Dim Efonsorci Money Never
Poiainid Afffteir (Ereenlease EodnapSng
St. Louis, Mo. -UPD- Some
time, somehow, someplace,
$300,000 disappeared six years
ego.
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

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

it has been dispelled by infor

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

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.

City-Dwellers
Tipple More
Than Farmers
New Haven, Conn.-(Science
Service)-Woe to the Iowan
farm lad or lass who moves
to the big bad city.
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. Now it's
3.8. i
Wives are having children
at a much younger age than
their grandmothers did.
-Today's young father can

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.
The federal government
pamphlet offers parents of
handicapped children these
tips: fit and train the child
to his prosthesis as soon as
possible, the earlier the bet
ter; do not blame anyon for
the child's defect; encourage
him to participate in activities
with normal children; do not!

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." .
