Protests Methods In Kidnaping Probe Attorney Protests McDonald Probe HOLLYWOOD (W — Famed criminal attorney Jerry Glesler served notice today that he and his client, Marie McDonald, are dissatisfied with the way authorities are investigating the case of her kidnaping. “It is about time that the police start proceeding with the investigiation of the kidnaping instead of investigating Miss Me Donald,” Giesler said. "I only hope they show the same diligence hunting for the kidnapers that they have used in trying to prove her story a hoax.” Giesler said Miss McDonald has offered to take a lie detector test to support her story that she was kidnaped by two Latin-type men early last Friday. He charged that “police have been subjecting Miss McDonald to an inquisition” instead of searching for evidence. Gielser hovered over Miss McDonald's shoulder Tuesday as she signed a formal police report

The report, however, made no mention that she had been assaulted and robbed, but merely described details of the alleged kidnaping. Error In Hospital Story Corrected In the story on the annual report of the Adams county memorial hospital, published Monday in the Daily Democrat, first issues off the press incorrectly stated the profit shown by the institution included money derived from taxes. This was incorrect and was corrected after a few hundred papers had been printed. No tax money was-used by the hospital last year, which showed a profit of $1,677.16. Both the operating profit and money derived from taxes, $12.539.89, will remain in the hospital department account, as in other county agencies. This money must then be reappropriated to be spent.

Everlasting Peace Seen In 100 Years Map Company Looks Well Into Future CHICAGO (UP)—What will the wtrld be like 100 years from now? Rand McNally and Co. gazed into its crystal ball and found that lOO'years hence there will be everlasting peace. L In an article in its house Kun, Xhv firm predicted that I‘Bstant detection of border vtolatiaks by radar and television” will prevent boundary disputes from developing into major wars. Written in the past tense, the article said: “Instant retaliation has become an international watchdog. The universe has become a healthier, saner, more peaceful and leisurely place in which to live." The map-making and textbook firm, 100 years old in 1956, expects to be doing bigger and better business on its 200th birthday. “Our products now include globes and maps of all the planets and their satellites,’' the article said. Adjusted Speed Paths . Electronics will put an end to traffic jams, the firm predicts. “Our automobile system is one gigantic electronic network into which individual automobiles tie as if into a closed circuit, moving out into automatically adjusted speed paths,” the article said. Passengers settle back in their rotunda-like plastic domes to view their scenery-scanners, play cards, sip cocktails or enjoy a picnic lunch at a speed of 200 miles per tiJjuk* In general, Rand McNally found that the world would be like this: '“The population of the earth has tripled in the past 100 years to 7% hjliion Dispersed skyscraper communities can accommodate more and more people. . . . Comfort and Convenience “Seventy- and eighty-floor skyscraper apartments providing up to 10 rooms per occupant with roof gardens and generous open - air patios are gradually replacing the one-family dwelling. “Nuclear and solar energy and liquified rock fuels are making life more comfortable and convenient for everyone. “Mass artificial processing of foods has eliminated starvation. Conversion of ocean water to fresh water is A a development now 50 ■years old. “Hundreds of new synthetics and the use of the ocean’s vast mineral supplies have left our underground resources still undepleted.” No Nagging Backache Means a GoodNight’sSleep Naggiflz backache, headache, or museular aches and paina may comeonwith over-exer-tion, emotional upaets or day today atresa and •train.

Erroneous Report On Meeting Guests It was erroneously reported in yesterday’s story about the joint meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, Lions Club, and Rotary, that the guest# had been invited by the Defatur Rotary Club. Actually, it should have read, that all the guests, except the Decatur high .school and Catholic high school were guests of the Lltms club and Decatur Casting company. Glenn Mauller, assistant supervisor of the casting company, was chairman of the.program. r 1 •W Warning On Suit To Integrate Schools Strategy Session Called For Whites ATLANTA Os) — Segregationist John Kasper warned today that a suit to integrate Knoxville, Tenn., schools may lead to more "race riots” and "possible bloodshed.” Kasper, who figured in the Clinton, Tenn., integration riots last fall, called a white citizens council “strategy” session to plan demands on the Tennessee Legislature now in session. • The suit filed last Monday by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will arouse legislative support of white demands for bolstering Tennessee segregation laws, Kasper said. The legislatures of Tennessee .and South Carolina, also just beginning its 1957 session, were expected to receive packets of bills designed to keep schools segregated regardless of court action. Gov. Frank Clement, addressing a joint session of the Tennessee Legislature, proposed segregation of Tennessee schools on a “voluntary" basis saying any other plan, when challenged in court, will be held unconstitutional. This would be coupled with laws providing for assignment of pupils on “sociological, physical” or any other grounds except on racial grounds as such. Clement said his program is no “panacea to end all ills but it is an honest program.” Meanwhile the Georgia Education Commission headed by Gov. 'Marvin Griffin readied for the state Legislature convening next week a bill giving the governor emergency power to close schools or bus lines to prevent possible violence during segregation disputes. The commission also proposed a finishing touch tor the state’s standby “private school plan.” It would change the compulsory attendance law so parents could legally refuse to send children to an integrated school. The South Carolina Legislature Tuesday received a bill making it illegal for such organizations as the NAACP to use lawsuits to promote its policies. Kasper, 27, is now under a 12month federal prison sentence for defying a federal injunction in stirring up opposition to opening the all-white Clinton High School to Negroes. He is appealing. A/ lc Jernes Kingsley has returned to Lincoln Air Force Base in Nebraska after spending two weeks' leave with his mother, Mrs. Evelyn Kingsley of this city. He recently spent three months stationed in London, England. Mrs. Fredo Rhoda, Fort Wayne, formerly Miss Betty Erwin of Decatyr, is a patieid at Parkview memorial hospital, having suffered a stroke at the Rhoda residence Sunday. Her condition is reported to be serious but not critical at this time. COURT NEWS License Hay Roy Harper, 18. Edison, 0., route .one, and Judith Ann Nixon, 16, Mt Gilead, 0., route two. X* >■ .

No Special Police Force For Mid-East To Rely On Present Military Forces WASHINGTON (UP) — Defense Department officials said today the United States will rely on its present military forces, rather ' than creating a special police force, to back up the “Eisenhower Doctrine” for the Middle East. As one military official involved in top-level planning put it: “We have adequate military forces now to carry out any decision the political leaders wish to make.” Although there are no plans for any large-scale redeployment of forces into the Middle East to act as a "police force,*’ there may be some strengthening of U.S. units in the vicinity, such as the U.s. 6th Fleet in the Mediterranean. Defense officials said if there were an attack of the Middle East which required only air power to support the local defenders, the United States could call on planes from the 6th Fleet or from Air Force units, stationed in North Africa and Europe. If the threat were posed mqre to the east at say lyan, it jnight dispatch carriers now stationed with the 7th Fleet in the Far East into the Indian Ocean. In event ground forces were needed to bolster the local troops, the United States could call on a reinforced Marine battalion with the 6th Fleet or dispatch Marines ; now with the 7th Fleet. Or the Army could airlift troops down from Germany and then replace these troops in Western Europe in a matter of weeks with men now stationed in the United States. CORRECTION The name of Victor Kiess, deacon and member of the official board, was unintentionally omitted from the list of officers of the Zion Evangelical and Reformed church, published in Tuesday’s edition of the Daily Democrat. k ■ ■— i '* ■■■■ '■ i
