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

the crime.
Thirty minutes later he said the

with Mrs. Bonnie Brown Heady
conlessed the kidnaping, demand

It stipulated thai 5400.000 was to

'Fifteen other parlies called de

"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.

nriiied was a renort Irom an untlcr-
wnrlH character that gansslers
would intercept the money when
