Son of Auto Millionaire
Father Near Collapse as Boy Taken From School
KANSAS CITY, MO. UP — The grief stricken millionaire father of a kidnaped six-year-old boy asked newsmen, photographers and television cameramen to leave his premises today "because we think they are trying to make contact."

KANSAS CITY, MO. UP — The grief stricken millionaire father of a kidnapped six-year-old boy asked newsmen, photographers and television cameramen to leave his premises today "because we think they are trying to make contact."
Robert C. Greenlease appeared near collapse when he called off plans for a television and news interview on the lawn of his sumptuous house.
"All I want is my boy back," he said.
The Cadillac automobile dealer's son, Bobby, was kidnapped yesterday.
Newsmen Comply
Greenlease would not say anything, thing to substantiate his belief the kidnapper might be trying to contact the family.
The press, radio and television with Greenlease's request.
As far as public mention was concerned, Greenlease and his prostrate wife had heard nothing from the stocky, red-haired woman who took Bobby from a fashionable Catholic school, the French Institute of Notre Dame de Sion before noon yesterday.
Police Chief Bernard Brannon, in personal charge of what admittedly was a limited investigation, said "We're treading lightly. We don't want the boy hurt. I haven't anything new to report."
No Word Received
Police activity, he said, was being carried on strictly for the extent permitted by the 71-year-old father and his 45-year-old second wife.
Greenlease's first wife is dead. There has been no indication, or police speculation, that the abduction was for ransom, despite the father's immense wealth. No word had been received from the woman since she and Bobby stepped out of a taxi yesterday and vanished in a late model Ford bearing Kansas license plates. The car has not been found.
Neither would authorities speculate on the possibility that the woman was a person who at least knew details of the Greenlease home life. The taxi driver who took her and the boy from the school told of her asking Bobby about his two dogs and a parrot. Police said the Greenleases own two dogs and a parrot.
The FBI had "no comment" on the case. It was not learned if the FBI had entered the case.
23 Persons Killed In Airliner Crash
LOUISVILLE (UP) — Airline stewardess Dorothy Jean Bush, 32, Miami, died today, raising the death toll to 23 in the crash of an Army chartered C46 airliner.
Miss Bush, whose leg was nearly severed in the crash which also seriously or critically injured 18 other persons yesterday never regained consciousness.
Investigators of the Civil Aeronautics Administration picked through the partially burned wreckage of the plane at Standford Field today, seeking some explanation for the disaster which now has taken the lives of three crew members and 20 Puerto Rican soldiers.
The two-engined C-46 operated by Resort Airlines, stalled several hundred feet from the ground as it came in for a landing and dived nose first into a soy bean patch. With a crew of three, it was ferrying 33 soldiers from Camp Kilmer, N.J., to Fort Knox, Ky.
The injured were in critical or serious condition, suffering burns, broken bones, head or internal injuries.
The dead crew members were the pilot, Capt. Whorton Moller, 33, and the co-pilot, John Dewitt Pickel, 31, both of San Antonio, Bush of Miami, Fla., was injured critically.
Witnesses said that just before the plane crashed the pilot apparently seemed to sense something was wrong and pulled up sharply. When the plane hit the field, both engines caught fire, but the flames were quickly extinguished by airport emergency crews.
The forward section of the plane and the left wing were smashed into fragments. The rest of the fuselage remained fairly intact, but was twisted and pierced with holes.

EL CENTRO, Calif. (UP)—Lt. Cmdr. James Verdin will pull the throttle of the Navy's delta-wing Skyrapt wide open today in an attempt to break the world speed record he set only yesterday.
Verdin streaked the Douglas FMD over the California desert at 742.7 miles per hour yesterday, the fastest time ever clocked under international speed rules, eclipsing a British mark set last Saturday over the Sahara.
Douglas officials said today's speed run would start when desert temperatures reached an anticipated peak of 96 degrees, at about 2 p.m. PST because each degree of temperature is worth an additional mile an hour. The temperature was 89 during yesterday's flight.
The crack Navy test pilot set the new mark in four lightning passes over a three-kilometer course along the Salton Sea.
His best run was 748.5 miles per hour, but a lap of 734.6 brought down the average.
"We're going to try again today." Verdin said. "We want to have a clear record before the Britlisher makes another attempt in the supermarine jet."
Verdin referred to Cmdr. Mike Lithgow who is attempting to beat

Chapman College Names Group to Study Orange Site
Chapman College Board of Trustees has appointed an investigation and recommendation committee to consider the invitation of Orange, citizens to purchase the former high school plant and move Chapman College from Los Angeles to Orange.
The action of trustees came out of a thorough discussion of the invitation from local citizens and official notice from Thomas Goode, chairman of the board of the Orange Unified School District, of intention to sell the former high school buildings and grounds.
Conversation with individual Chapman trustees, subsequent to the Board meeting, revealed considerable personal interest in the proposal as well as appreciation to the local citizenry for their invitation to move the College to Orange.
The action of the board to investigate the Orange proposal comes after several weeks of on-again, off-again dickering with officials of the college. Previously, it had been announced by school officials that Chapman trustees were definitely not considering the move to Orange.
Weather
Hazy sunshine today and Wednesday. Low clouds late tonight and Wednesday morning and local brizzle some sections early morning. High today about 78. Not much orange Wednesday.
The crack Navy test pilot set the new mark in four lightning passes over a three-kilometer course along the Salton Sea.
His best run was 748.5 miles per hour, but a lap of 734.5 brought down the average.
"We're going to try again today," Verdin said. "We want to have a clear record before the Britlisher makes another attempt in the supermarine jet."
Verdin referred to Cmdr. Mike Lithgow who is attempting to beat his own unofficial mark of 737.3 which he set last week in speed runs over the Libyan desert.
The official record smashed by Verdin was 727.6, set earlier this year by Great Britain's Hawker Hunter jet.
Few Offer Protests At Annexation Hearing
Residents of the proposed Gilbert annexation West of Anaheim filled the council chambers yesterday during a public hearing on the possible annexation of the area to the city.
A small cloud was thrown up by a few of those present when Attorney James Walker of Santa Ana, representing dissident factions, claimed boundary descriptions as outlined were inaccurate.
Although a majority of the 66 parcel holders in the proposed annexation favor joining the city Council set the session of Oct. 6 in which to hold the continued public hearing on the annexation.
A hearing was set by councilmen for Oct. 27 on the appeal of H.E. Krueger and W.L. Hollowell for the reclassification of their property on the proposed Broadway extension from the present zoning to one of R-2 or two-family residential. The Planning Commission had previously turned the request down.
Although 13 bids were opened by Councilmen for construction of the proposed Houston - Crescent sewer line, no decision was reached on the company to construct the line. Council made it known that a wide range of bids were received from those competing for the construction job.

FORCES INVADING Frontier of Egypt
CAIRO (UP) — Minister of National Guidance Saleh Salem said today Israeli armed forces had occupied parts of the demilitarized area around Auga on the Egyptian-Israeli frontier.
The Egyptian government has summoned the army commander-in-chief to Cairo for consultation and has notified the Joint Palestine Armistice Commission and the Egyptian delegation to the United Nations of "this aggression," Salem said.
"We are not disclosing our plans," Salem said at a press conference. "But we know what to do."
No Detailis Given
Lt. Gen. Abdel Hakim Amer, the Egyptian commander-in-chief, is returning at once from an inspection tour to take charge of the military aspect of the situation Salem said.
He declined to give details of the reported Israeli move, or its date.
The Auga, or El Anja, demilitarized zone is on the frontier between Egypt's Sinai Peninsula and the Israel Negeb area, about 17.2 miles inland. It is on the main Cairo-Jerusalem Highway.
The area was demilitarized after the Palestinian War between the Arab nations and Israel ended in 1948.
During the armistice negotiations on Rhodes Island in February, 1949, Egypt and Israel agreed to demilitarization of the village of Auga and surrounding territory. The village itself is several miles inside Israel territory.
As the Egyptian government made its announcement, a United Press dispatch from Jerusalem said Israeli defense forces were staging "Operation Samson," the biggest defense maneuvers in the country's brief history.

CHIEF JUSTICE OF U.S.
Sources Say Appointment Will Be Made Tomorrow
WASHINGTON UP — President Eisenhower has decided on Gov. Earl Warren of California to be Chief Justice of the United States, high administration sources said today.
These sources said Mr. Eisenhower is expected to make the announcement tomorrow, probably at his news conference.
They said Mr. Eisenhower decided to make recess appointment so the Supreme Court can be at full strength when it convenes next Monday for the 1953-54 term. Warren would succeed Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson who died Sept. 8 of a heart attack.
Second Republican
The formal nomination will be sent to the Senate in January after Congress convenes.
Warren would be the 14th Chief Justice of the United States. He would become the second Republican on the high bench. The other is Associate Justice Harold H. Burton.
At the White House, Press Secretary James C. Hagerty was asked whether Mr. Eisenhower will announce the court appointment at his news conference tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. PST.
"When we have appointments to announce, we will announce"
Seek to Tie Santo To Five Slayings
LOS ANGELES (UP)—Northern California authorities continued questioning convicted murderers Jack Santo and Emmett Perkins today in connection with five slayings in Nevada and Plumas counties.
Sheriff Wayne Brown, of Nevada county, and Ray McCarthy, of the state Department of Justice, arrived here yesterday to question the pair.

At the White House, Press Secretary James C. Hagerty was asked whether Mr. Eisenhower will announce the court appointment at his news conference tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. PST.
"When we have appointments to announce, we will announce them," Hagerty said.
Secret Conference
Since Vinson's death, Warren has been the forerunner in speculation for the highest judicial post in the nation.
Final details of the Waren appointment apparently were worked out Sunday in a secret three-hour meeting between the governor and Atty. Gen. Herbert Brownell Jr. at Sacramento. Brownell reported to Mr. Eisenhower yesterday on his conference with Warren, who had announced Sept. 3 that he would not seek re-election after his term as governor expires in January, 1955.
Warren was California attorney general for four years before becoming governor 10 years ago. Before that he was a district attorney for Alameda County. He was the 1948 Republican vice presidential nominee on the ticket Dewey.
Important Decisions
Mr. Eisenhower was understood to have decided to fill the Supreme Court vacancy before the new term of the tribunal because of the important issues it must decide. The most momentous decision of the new term involves the constitutionality of racial segregation in public schools.
Even before Vinson's death, it was known Warren aspired to a Supreme Court seat.

SANTA ANA—Alleging extreme cruelty and charging that William Henry Berg, heir to a brewery fortune, was "habitally intoxicated." Mrs. Lois I. Berg today filled an amended complaint for a divorce.

New Judge Faces Heavy Calendar In Local Court
Northern Orange County's new municipal Court Judge Ronald L. Tiday found himself with one of the heaviest court calendars on record this week with cases scheduled straight through each day from all cities of his district.
Among cases heard today was that of Leo R. Young, 32-year-old San Bernardino man who gave his address as the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe. Young had been nabbed Sunday by Brea police for drunk driving. Appearing today before Judge Tiday, he pleaded guilty and was fined $150 with a license suspension for 90 days.
Virgil McConnell of Ontario, arrested Sunday in Brea on identical charges, was fined $300 with a suspension of one year on his license when it was found today's charge to be his second offense.
Richard Orlando Metz, 51, of Orange, arrested by Anaheim police last week on drunk driving charges, was fined $150 by Judge Tiday. It was recommended that no license suspension be made in the case.
Bryant William Hewitt, 43-year-old Anaheim carpenter residing at 113 North Olive St., arrested early yesterday on a warrant charging assault against his wife Ethel, was fined $250 or 50 days in jail on his pleas of guilt.
SANTA ANA—Alleging extreme cruelty and charging that William Henry Berg, heir to a brewery fortune, was "habitually intoxicated," Mrs. Lois I. Berg today filed an amended complaint for a divorce.
In it she dropped her demand for specific alimony and attorney fees. She had asked for $3785 per month support but in the reyised complaint substituted a plea for support sufficient "to enable her to maintain a standard of living and station of life in which she is presently accustomed."
The complaint asked only for "reasonable" fees for her attorney Philip Poppler of Long Beach.
Poppler filed additional arguments supporting his contention that the marriage of the 29-year-old Mrs. Berg, a former waitress to the 39-year-old Berg was legal.
The ceremony aboard Berg's yacht, Brigand, on Sept. 1, 1950 was challenged by Berg who claimed that the skipper did not have right to solemnize a marriage.
Superior Judge Franklin G. West has under submission the question of whether the ceremony was valid.
Local Man to Retire As Deputy Assessor
John Eley, 76, 315 West Center St., a deputy assessor for Orange County assigned as a building appraiser—and spry as many a man much younger in years—will retire from county service Wednesday at close of business.
He has reached the compulsory retirement age and he must step out—but not without the plaudits of his superior, Assessor Hugh J. Plumb, and the taff.
"We don't want to lose him," Plumb explained, "He's a good man and he does his work well and accurately—and he runs many a younger man ragged."
Eley has been with the department for 23 years. Prior to that, worked in Texas oil fields, and at one time was an independent operator there.
Pension of one year on his license when it was found today's charge to be his second offense.
Richard Orlando Metz, 51, of Orange, arrested by Anaheim police last week on drunk driving charges, was fined $150 by Judge Tiday. It was recommended that no license suspension be made in the case.
Bryant William Hewitt, 43-year-old Anaheim carpenter residing at 113 North Olive St., arrested early yesterday on a warrant charging assault against his wife Ethel, was fined $250 or 50 days in jail on his plea of guilty.
Torrible Guzman, 26, of Orange, nabbed last week by Anaheim police and Sheriff's officers at a local dance-fall for possessing dangerous weapons, was ordered bound over to the Superior Court for further action. His ball of $250 was continued by Judge Tiday until trial date of Oct. 9.
Preliminary hearing of Murness Ervin, Elsinore truck driver accused of the manslaughter death of Charles Raymond Gift last Sept. 18 at the corner of Manchester and Orangethorpe Avenues, heard his case continued until Oct. 9 at the request of his attorney in Elsinore. Ervin is free on ball until the hearing.
It cost Gene Irvin Butler, 21, of Riversa, $50 and his driving privilege for the next 30 days for the privilege of attempting to outrun a Buena Park police car last Sept. 13.
The defendant told Judge Tiday yesterday on his arraignment, that he was guilty of the charges of running through a red traffic light, attempting to evade arrest by officers, having a dangerous weapon in his possession and falling to change his legal address on his driver's license.
