Within 48 hours the body of Bobby Oreen lease was discovered In a shallow grave in St. Joseph, Mo. and Carl Austin Hall and Mrs. Bonnie Heady were arrested in St, Louis for the crime. When he was captured Hall had thousands of the ransom bills packed in his luggage. The luggage was opened at the Newstead Dis trict Police Station. It held $293. 000 of the 600.000 delivered by the Greenlease family. Hall Insisted he had most of the two. 000 with him when he was arrested. The officers who took him Into custody, Lieutenant Louis Shoulders and Patrolman Elmer Dnlan, weru equally Insistent that all Hall's luggage was brought Into the station. The two officers were eventually dismissed from the police force, convicted of perjury and sentenced to prison terms. They were convicted mostly on the testimony of witnesses who said they saw Hall brought into the police station and tnat the luggage was not broufc.nl In with him. The mystery of the missing 0300.000 grew deeper with the ex ecution of Hall and Mrs. Heady nnd the insistence of Shoulders and Dolan that they knew nothing more of the missing money. The FBI speculated unofficially (hat the ransom was paid In 13.401 120 bills and 3,370 $10 bills. Serial numbers of the bills were made public. For more than a year the mys tery of the missing money ' re mained one of the greatest In the history of crime. It was olten com pared with another famous crime money mystery: The one-milllon- dollar cash holdup of a Brink's vault In Boston. Then the mysterious ransom notes bevan seeping into circula tion. After Llnd discovered the first missing HO bill, three other 20 bills were found at the federal reserve bank in St. Louis by FBI agents. One of the bills was traced to the Union National Bank at Spring field, Mo. A second was traced to the Bedalla Bank and Trust Co.. at Sedalla, Mo. There was no Indi cation where the third bill came from. The FBI slill doesn't know who Is putting the bills into circula tion; whether the remainder of the ransom money is Intact, or wheth er it will ever be found. But agents are sure that it still exists that it hasn't been destroyed, and that there Is a chance of finding it, Indians To Get 'Treaty Cloth' SALAMANCA, N.Y. 11 The government will make Its annual aistriDutlon OI "trimly cloth" to morrow and Saturday to Indians OI I IP Kphpra Mat, E,.h inh..i,n. ..,m yards ot unoleached sheeting incsc yearly payments are. r- nulled bv n. nni Imaiu hit,n, (he Uniled States and the Soneca Nallon.

The counsel: The National As sociation for the Advancement ot Colored People, represented by special counsel Thurgood Mar shall, as the plaintiff. The south ern states, represented by an ar ray of attorneys general and spe cial lawyers including former Georgia Gov. Herman Talmadge, as defendant. 'The year of crisis is upon us." Attorney General Eugene Cook of Oeorgla says. "I think we are ready and we are going to keep the fighting within the framework of the state and federal constitu tions." Says Marshall: "We do not tin-der-estimate the Job ahead. When ever local districts ask the na tional NAACP to step in, we In tend to aid them." Legal action by the NAACP to force the South to fully Integrate schools during this next year will be stepped up soon. Marshall said the strategy is for local groups to initiate the first action. "When a branch is told by Ne gro parents In an area that they will no longer put up with segre gated schools and we are con vinced that the local school board is not proceeding in good faith, the state conference will then de cide whether to offer legal assists ance," Marshall said. The NAACP presently is flood ing the South with petitions from Negro groups asking local school boards to eliminate segregation. Failure to comply would be used In an effort to convince courts that the Supreme Court's orders for' integration with "reasonable speed" were being violated. Georgia. South Carolina and Mississippi have taken drastic standby steps. Including machin ery to close public schools to pre vent Integration. But there can be endless litigation before that step Is taken.
