Activity at Greenlease
Home Leads To Possibility
Of Move By Kidnapers
KANSAS CITY, —Renewed
activity at the home of the weal
thy parents of 6-year-old Bobby
Greenlease gave rise Thursday to
the possibility of a ransom move
by his kidnapers after a puzzling
day.
Several cars were seen to come
and go at the home after dark.
But even as this activity devel
oped the family and police tight
ened their silence in the case.
Police insisted no new clues had
been uncovered. A spokesman for
the family said nothing had hap
pened which might lead /to the
boy, adbucted three days ago from
a private Catholic school by a wo
man posing as the child’s aunt.
Mystery of the puzzling silence
was increased by use of the back
door by the family for the comings
and goings of several persons. Un
til last night the family had been
i.ting only the front entrance.
G.E. Must Dedicate To
Public All Patents On
Incandescent Lamps
TRENTON, N. J., (JV-Federal
Judge Phillip Forman ordered the
General Electric Co., Friday to
dedicate to the public all its exist
ing patents on incandescent lamps
and their parts.
Forman made the order in a
judgment enforcing his 1949 con
viction of G.E. on charges of mon
opolizing the incandescent lamp
industry in the United States.
The order also applied to six
other lamp supply manufacturers
who were among eight firms con
victed in 1949 by Forman of aid
ing G.E. to maintain a monopoly
in the nation.
However, the judge rejected a
U-S- government proposal that
would have compelled G.E. to di
vest itself of half its facilities for
producing electric light bulbs and
bulb parts.
Forman Said “divestiture of
General Electric is neither feas
ible nor in the public interest.”
YOUNG WIFE AND SON
DROWN IN CAR WHILE
ON ROUTINE TRIP
SEWARD, UP) — Discovery of a
submerged automobile in a lagoon
near the Seward City limits Wed
nesday ended the two-day mys
tery of the disappearance of Mrs.
Carol Breitenbach and her 18
months-old son.
The bodies of both were in
the car.
The 23-year-old wife of. , an
Alaska Railroad employe and
little Michael apparently met
death by drowning about 30 min
utes after they left their home
north of Seward Monday to' drive
into town for groceries and the
mail.
Police Chief Don Balmat said
Mrs. Breitenbach, who was an ex
pectant mother, apparently lost
control of the car because of
speed, defective equipment or a
bad bump.
A searcher found the car while
probing from a boat “on a hunch.”
The lagoon had been examined
earlier by shore searchers with
out result, but dairyman Oliver
Amend found the car after launch
ing the boat for a check of deeper
holes with a lon^ pole.
The police chief said that a
close inspection afterwards re
vealed faint tire tracks leading
off the road.
Mrs. Breitenbach was a lifelong
resident of Seward. She was the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Tom
Jones. Jones is the Alaska Rail
road agent here.
Acheson Says Negotiations
With Russia Are Both
Possible and Desirable
NEW YORK, (£>—Former Sec
retary of State Dean Acheson says
negotiation with the Soviet Union
is both possible and ' desirable
“and may—but only may—be pro
ductive.”
Acheson, in his first major
speech since leaving office in Jan
uary, says the main principle that
must be followed in any negotia
tion with the Soviets is that:
“Never more than at present is
the preservation of the (Western)
coalition so essential. To sustain it
and to strengthen it must be the
foundation of our foreign policy.”
Acheson adds that “the central
point around which all else re
volves is the health and strength
and cohesiveness of the coalition.”
The former Democratic cabinet
member spoke Thursday night at
a Waldorf - Astoria Hotel dinner
given in his honor by the Wood
row Wilson Foundation.
He received the Woodrow Wil
son award for distinguished ser
vice.

Lawrence B. Williams,
Administrative Assistant
Demos Blast Any
Sales Tax At Level
Of Manufacturer
WASHINGTON, UP) — Several
Congressional Democrats opened
fire Thursday against any Eisen
hower administration proposal for
a national sales or excise tax at
the manufacturers’ level.
In the wake of President Eisen
hower’s news conference Wednes
day, they decried such a tax—
using adjective like “dangerous”
and “burdensome” and “infla
tionary.”
They said the man in the street
probably would find himself
harder hit by a manufacturer
level tax than by a retail-level tax.
A tax on sales at the factory, they
argued, would pyramid prices on
consumer goods.
The President, obviously aim
ing a squelch at speculation about
a retail sales tax, took the un
usual step of authorizing some of
his news conference remarks for
direct quotation.
But Democratic objections arose
to his news conference replies, not
f authorized for direct quotation, in
which he declined to rule out a
sales tax at the manufacturers’
level.
FIRE ALARMS
The fire alarm sounded at noon
today was caused by an over
heated stove at the Syngke resi
dence on D Street. Smoke dam
age was all that was reported.
The Fire Department answered
an call last evening which turned
out to be a false alarm.
Appointment Of
Earl Warren Is
Universally Hailed
WASHINGTON, UP) — Substan
tial Senate approval was forecast
for President Eisenhower’s ap
pointment of Gov. Earl Warren
•as Chief Justice of the United
States.
When the court opens its fall
term here Monday, the big, smil^
ing California Republican will don
the Chief Justice’s robes. He will
be wearing also Eisenhower’s
label as a middle - of - the - road
thinker.
Barring an unforeseen special
session of Congress, the Senate
will not act at least until January,
when the regular session begins.
But a Senate Judipiary subcom
mittee, headed by Sen. Langer
(R-ND), already is geared to con
sider the Warren nomination in
formally and report to the full
committee.
Full committee approval of the
nomination, perhaps even in ad
vance of the Senate’s reconvening
in January, was suggested by the
reception given announcement of
the appointment.
Democrats joined with Repub
licans in praising the selection.
Adlai Stevenson said it was “an
excellent appointment.”
