This was disclosed in an inter view last nlKht with Robert L. Led terman. Tulsa auto dealer and business associate of the 6-year-old murdered child's father, Rob ert C. Oreenleasr. of Kansas City. Still grieving over the tragedy and exhausted Irom 10 days of fruitless vigil, Ledlerman told the story alter reluming home for the first time since Sept. 28. Thai was the day his multimillionaire part ner and friend Issued a plea for help when Bobby was kidnaped Demo Fills Taft'sSeat In Senate COLUMBUS, Ohio W Democrat Thomas A. Burke, 54-year-old four time mayor of Clevelano, today holds the Senate post vacant since the death of Robert A. 'J aft July 31 Gov. Frank J. Lausche of Ohio appointed Burke late yesterday. It was a surprise announcement by the Democratic governor, who called his private secretary from Cleveland and told ner to release the news. I.mische's selection of his close friend and long-time political ally gave the Democratic pan a edge In the Sennte. The other sen ator Is Independent Wayne Morse of Oregon. Vice President Nixon holds the deciding vote should the Senate , deadlock. Morse was elect ed as a Republican but later boltc.l the party In a hassle over policy. The appointment of the Jovial, good-humored Burke brought crit icism from one Ohio congressman. Rep. Ocorgc H. Bender, a Cleve lander, called It "part ol a shabby deal." Bender said Burke "will not rep resent the majority ol Ohio; he will substantially misrepresent us. Bender said Lausche's action was "In keeping wllh his sorry record on national Issues." Son. John W. Brickcr, Ohio Re publican, said he would have noth ing to say on the appointment. Burke accepted the appointment humbly. He borrowed u phrase from his favorite sport when he said: "I feel somewhat In the posl tlon of Lou Oehrlg following Babe Ruth to the plate." Burko obsci'ved It Is not easy to follow "a great senator, one of tlie greatest." Burke, like Lausche. Is popular at the polls. When Lausche re nigned as Cleveland mayor In 194b to become governor, he appointed Burke. Burke was then elected mayor In 1045. 1047, 1040 and 1051 bv overwhelming majorities.

'Fifteen other parlies called de manding 5250,000," Ledterman said. "Had Mr. Oicenlea.se complied with nil of Ihe demands, he would have liaid l'j million dollars in ransom. But we knew which of the callers was the ri;:ht one." As It was, the $000,000 was the lareest ransom ever paid. Complicatmr: negotiations, he nriiied was a renort Irom an untlcr- wnrlH character that gansslers would intercept the money when It finally was delivered to the des ignated spot. Ledterman recounted dealings with Hall and Mrs. Heady through numerous letters hidden at various spots in Kansas City, and by tele phone. i, .. n hr.rrihle. he said, for the i kidnapers to be talking coldly. t matter-of-laciiy, on prnucmi.c . delivering the money wnci. cvc. then Bobby lay (lead in a grave, shot through the head "It's the most despicable crime ever committed," he asserted. k I i . ti NATIONAL BUSINESS WOMEN'S WEEK became official in Merrill for Oct. 1 1-17 with the signing of a proclamation by Mayor Robert Walker, right, Mrs. Lillian Thomas, presi tlent of the Merrill Business and Professional Women's Club, accepted the proclamation.
