Little and the Sheltons were un harmed. Burton left the house armed with Little's service revolver and Ins own .32-caliber pistol. According to Little, Burton said he had used the pistol to kill a policeman in ban Francisco about Ihree weeks ago. Little, a calm, six-footer with four years on the Missouri high way patrol, was taken as a host ?ge Saturday after he stopped Davis and Burton in their Cali fornia-licensed auto for a routine check. "There was just something about it that made me do it," he said. He said he checked the men out and was about to let them go when he noticed the barrel of a gun sticking out of the back seat under a sack. He pulled off the sack and saw a sawed-off shotgun. At this point Burton pulled a pistol. The men forced Little and Sher iff Snowden Dell, who was with him, to accompany them to a service station next door where they took $45 from the cash regis ter and were about to take a 19-year-old girl, Mrs. Evelyn Foster, as hostage. Little said. "If you have to take someone, take me. They did, and left the gnl behind. The gunmen subsequently ditched their own auto and drove Little's police cruiser into Padu cah, as police from four states, learning of the abduction, con verged behind them in one of this area s biggest manhunts in his tory. - Police lost track of the auto about 10 p.m. Little said Burton, a native of Paducah, drove to the Melber community, a small re mote section west of Paducah, saw a car in front of the Shelton house and stopped. They forced Little to gain en trance, saying he was a police officer, and the three stayed there. Little said Burton and Davis at no time threatened the Sheltons and that the four men spent an "enjoyable afternoon" watching television and playing checkers and cribbage while Mrs. Shelton cooked for them. Officers were considering a house-to-house search in the Pa ducah area for the trio when Little's voice came over the radio of his cruiser telling them where he was. . Little said they handcuffed him (o a chair and later to a bed be fore Burton left on foot about 5 p.m. Davis was to take Shelton's auto, and apparently planned to take Shelton along as another hos tage. But Little said Davis later watched a television show in which Paducah Police Chief Rulie Elliott mentioned stiff penalties under the -federal kidnaping law in making an appeal for commu nity aid in the search. Kidnaping and auto theft charges had been filed against both men. Apparently -frightened, Davis told Little he was going to com mit suicide. "He said he couldn't serve any time in prison," Little said. The trooper said Davis then freed him and took him and Shel ton outside at gunpoint, left them and went to the side of the house where he shot himself. Little said -Burton appeared to be the leader in the affair from the start. He quoted Davis as say ing. "Some are leaders and some are followers and I'm a follower of a bad leader." Davis, father of four children, had served five years in San Quentin Prison on a robbery and assault to commit murder con viction. He was a voluntary men tal patient at the age of 16.

Dental Health Editor's Note: This is the second in ya series of articles published in cooperation with the Klamath Dental Society in observance of National Children's Dental Health week rebruary 2-8. Some of the questions most frequently asked of dentists are answered. Don't be misled, dentists say. Most tooth pastes contain the same basic ingredients. A den tifrice, whether in paste, powder or liquid form, serves to aid the brush in cleaning the teeth. It does not do any more than that. Whatever the claims, there are no "miracle" tooth pastes. The mere are so many tooth ,. r-,Hi.i a Doctor pastes. What kind will really do any good? What is the best sort of toothbrush to use? And what about mouthwashes?

Army Displays Weapons Might CAMP RED CLOUD, Korea W- The U.S. Army displayed - two gi ant 280 mm atomic cannon to South Korean officials and news men for the first time today. j Two Honest John guided mis siles were also shown at the head-! quarters here of the Army's 1st Corps. 30 miles south of the truce line. The displays were part of a farewell review for Lt. Gen. Arth ur G. Trudeau, corps commander who leaves tomorrow to become chief of U.S. Army research and development in Washington. the American Dental Association, evaluating agency for dental prod ucts, reports that it knows of no tooth paste now available that will prevent tooth decay, gum diseases or bad breath. With the increased emphasis on dental research now taking place in dental schools and research cen ters over the country, it may be that a truly preventive tooth paste will be developed. Until that time, however, correct use of the tooth brush immediately after eating is more important than use of any single tooth paste, Teeth should be brushed right after meals and right after be- tween-meal snacks. If a tooth brush is not available, the mouth should be rinsed with water. Generally speaking, each area should be brushed at least 10 times. Included should be the tooth sur faces next to the cheeks, those next to the tongue and the up per and lower .chewing surfaces. The upper teeth should be brushed downward and the lower teeth upward. As for the kind of toothbrush to use. dentists advise that chil dren should be given smaller brushes than those used by adults. A good brush, they say. should have D a flat brushing surface. i2i firm, resilient bristles, and 13) a head small enough to reach all surfaces of the teeth. On the question of mouthwashes, dentists point out that the purpose of a mouthwash is to help remove food particles from the teeth and mouth. Water does a satisfactory job. Medicated mouthwashes should not be used except when prescribed by a dentist. Dentists strongly recommend mat children be taught" to brush their teeth at the right time and in the right wav when the youngsters are about three years old. sound den ial health habits ingrained early in life will help to assure an adult hood largely free of dental crip-Dling. Tomorrow: Diet and Dental Health. MIAMI BEACH t.fl The AFL- CIO declared open war today on the expelled Teamsters Union by directing Michigan labor forces to regroup and leave Teamsters boss James R. Hoffa out in the cold. The action is expected to spur retaliatory measures from Hoffa who, after taking the Teamsters Union helm under a court moni tor system, is holding a pow-wow with the Teamsters Executive Board here next week. The Teamsters, who defied AFL- CIO corruption charges and were expelled after they elected Hoffa, have reserved a beach hostelry called The Castaways. George Meany, AFL-CIO presi dent, was due to cancel charters of the Hoffa-dominated AFL Mich igan Federation of Labor and the Michigan Industrial Council con trolled by onetime CIO chief Wal ter Reuther. The AFL-CIO Executive Coun cil, in its opening winter session today, was expected to okay Meany s move and issue a new AFL-CIO charter calling a spe cial convention Feb. 24 at Grand Rapids to establish the new Mich igan labor organization. Hoffa's scandal-rocked Team sters Union, prominent in the present Michigan AFL federation, will be denied any delegates or voice in forming the new AFL CIO unit. Hoffa recently was placed un der a court monitor system in running the Teamsters. But Meany and other federation lead ers annear to have no confidence that this will be an effective check on Hoffa. who was named as an associate of hoodlums in Senate Rackets Commitee hearings. Under Hoffa . influence, the Michigan federation says it will balk at the merged Michigan labor setup. But AFL-CIO leaders predict that the bulk of the for mer AFL union forces in tne stale would swing over to the new organization. It means the ascent of Reuther and the descent of Hoffa so far as the key state of Michigan and the rest of the main body of or ganized labor is concerned. The move- represents a prece dent for similar action in the dozen remaining big industrial states which also have balked at merging still separate AFL and CIO forces. ' The states include. Now York, Massachusetts, .California, Ohio, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Illi nois, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Florida. Indiana and Wisconsin. The AFL-CIO Executive Coun cil .also is expected to consider inviting Teamsters Union locals to quit their own organizations and join the federation under special charters. This would avoid form ing a separate AFL-CIO Team sters Union but still wou!d give a home base in the federation for Teamsters units seeking to secede. NOSTALGIA?

Taylor The old man was so close to death that the crowded hospital only kept him over night. Next morning he was sent back to die in his little hut there in the African jungle.' The two African nurses chosen to look after him on the journey, used to run that same jungle as wild savages not so many years before. Now they had education, raising and their nurses uniform. Like so many other converts from black, hopeless heathen dom, they ever sought to win-others to the Christian faith. But this old man stood them off. Then, just before they reached his hut, the old man shouted "I'm saved. The blood of Jesus Christ has washed away my sins. I'm saved; I'm saved." By the nurses witness, by God's love, Christ's blood and by someone's prayers, yours, maybe the old man went home to glory. (This from a Missy M. D.'s letter from South Africa I.
