Hope for q quick capture Of the

after two men, one In Idaho and

for investigation but released after
questioning.
Stepped Into Car Wednesday.
Glenda stepped into the car.
which police said was driven by a
round-faced man In his twenties,
at 5 pm. Wednesday. Her beaten
body was found yesterday in the
canal, one mile southeast Of this
aroused Idaho farming community
Of $500 persons.
Nearly q foot Of water partly
covered the small body, which was
fully clothed. Her head had been
gashed deeply by three blows from
q sharp instrument. Police said 1t
probably was a hatchet or an axe.
While the PROSTATE parents. ME-.
and Mrs. Charles Brisbois, were
secluded in their Burley home,
police continued to trace out a pair
Of meager clues. The father is q
truck driver. Glenda, who was
born In San Diego. Calf. has an
older sister. Sandra Lee, 8.
Chief of Police Bill Williams
of Burley said q mans footprints
were found on the canal bank
near where Glenda's body was
found. along with some automo-
bile tire tracks from which plaster
casts were made.
Girl 'Warned Repeatedly"
Police ordered the canal drained
in hopes the murder weapon will
be found on its muddy bottom.
A roundup of all known sex Of
tenders in Southern Idaho also
was ordered.
A playmate said the girl talked
briefly with the smooth-s -shaven,
ruddy- -complexioned man before
she stepped into the sedan-a

license plates.
"She had been warned repeat
edly about accepting rides from

He added that "Glenda always

Earlier Death Of Doq
Linked 10 POISONING
OF Taxicab Driver

Investigation Of the death Of
Joseph Z. Randle. 33-year-old
cab driver, included the revelation
today that his dog died mysteri-
ously two weeks ago. possibly Of
poisoning.
Police are working on the the
ory that Mr.. Randle drank poi
soned milk Monday. from which
he died Wednesday night in Cas-
ualty Hospital.
Adding to the mystery Is the
fact that Mr.. Randle's wife and
18-year-old stepdaughter. Barbara
Foutz. believe they drank from
the same milk bottle without
harmful results.
Three Mice Die.
Some Of the suspect milk was
injected into three mice at the
Health Department laboratory
yesterday. Two Of them died In
flye minutes and the third about
an hour later.
Or. Harold Melman Of the
Southeast Veterinarian Hospital
said he treated the Randles' dog
for strychnine poisoning last jan
uary and again in April.
Two weeks ago the dog was re-
turned to the hospital. This time
it did not appear to have strych-
nine poisoning, but possibly was
suffering from some type Of
toxemia. Dr. Melman said.
Dog Dies After Treatment.
Although he feared the dog
would die without further treat
ment, the owners decided to take
1t out Of the hospital two days
later, and 1t did die the following
day. DR.. Melman said.
Strychnine Is the only type Of
poisoning which may be diagnosed
without chemical analysis. DR..
Melman said. For that reason
there was no way Of determining
whether the dog was poisoned by
other means.
Deputy Coroner Christopher J..
Murphy Is awaiting q chemical
analysis report to determine the
cause Of Mr.. Randle's death. A
physician who examined him
Monday night said Mr.. Randle
appeared to be suffering from
strychnine poisoning.

Some Newspapers
Exaggeraie. Says
Local Legislator
BY Ole II. Olson
Member State Legislature

Some of the daily press have
made mountains out of mole hills
in the case of some discussion in
the legislature halls.
There has been some feeling
engendered oh matters that are
too inconsequential, and in some
cases there has been definite mis-
Interpretation of the actions of the
legislature.
incidentally, the hall that has
been introduced for continuance
of investigation of subversive act
ivities is in keeping with American
deals of fair play and constitu-
tional procedure. Some papers
would have the public believe that
it is a subterfuge measure, but this
it is not. 1t is the feeling Of the
sponsors that legally constituted
properly safeguarded investigation
will carry more weight and &C
complish more good than trials by
headlines.
One source of dissatisfaction
in the legislature is the failure
of the Senate to act on the salary
bill, which is really minor mat
ter, but which they made great
deal of. The effects of this bill,
whether you take the minimum or
the maximum figures, is very
inconsequential in the total gov
eminent picture. Just as it could
be pointed put that the attack
upon the operation budgets of the
elected state officials is more
political than economic, these bud
gets will represent very minute
percentage of cost of government.
It is so infinitesimal that it is just
another case of pinching the pen
ny and ignoring the dollar. With
such weighty problems as the
needs of our schools and roads
pressing for solution, 1t is regret
table that time should be wasted
on minor travis. ~
Another bill that has produced
a great deal of heat from the out
side but has not stirred up any
feeling between members is the
fish sanctuary bill. Again, this
leaves so much unans-
wered as to what the true picture /
is, so far as those looking at it |
from a distance are concerned,
that it is certain that great many 1
Of the protests, be they for or
against are made by persons lack
ing full information. This, Of
course, is inevitable and under
standable. What the legislators
are trying to do is get all pert
inent facts assimilated and exer-
else their best judgement in finally
of the issue.
In the case of the 10th district,
the power versus fish issue will
certainly resolve itself in favor
of the fish because we are dew
clipping the power in ample guam
tity and that will be the mag
net to attract industry to our area.

Dear Editor:

Lear EQltOr. F. Id
I assume that every grower
of concord grapes in this valley
is vitaly interested in what he
gets for his grapes. A drop from
$40 per ton to $40 per ton (405)
can hardly be justified when the
retail price is only 10% less than
is was one year ago.
One year ago Church grape jiceu
retailed for 80 cents a bottle.
It is now retailing for IS cents
a bottle "a reduction of 4 cents
bottle, practically 10% less).
Why the difference?
We were notified (by pamphlet
early last season that competitors
Of Church Grape Juice company
were offering grape Juice at a
reduction of Csc from their recent
prices. Was this extended to give
the grower the fore-runner of
what TO expect for the 48 crop.
Could the fact that many grow
ers Of wine grapes could not sell
their grapes last fall have encour-
aged the grape juice companies
to pay less than the cost of pro-
duction?
1t is worthy of note that very
few posts and little wire are in
stock for sale.
As to the cost of producing
concord grapes, the Farm Bureau
has figured the cost of producing
a ton of grapes at SOS per ton.
An estimate published locally
placed to cost at SIS per ton.
Should the fact that the professors
in this area had to use little
sugar to bring up the sugar con-
tent justifya reduction in the p-ice
of concord grapes? How about the
grape professors back east who
have to use much more sugar
and who paid twice as much for
the '48 crop?
If there was an over production
of grapes (concor0 last year or
a carry over from the year before,
such statement is due. Accord.
ing to the Farm Bureau there
was less.
l lived and practiced in the
grape belt in N. Y. state and this
was twenty years ago when a
dollar was worth twice what it
is today. We are told that concord
grapes brought $85 and more per
ton last fall in the east. They
don't have to irrigate back there
and the land doesn't cost what it
does here.
Suppose we can produce twice
or more the tonnage here they
can back there. Should we be
compelled to take less than half

LONDON U.PJ-On a tour Of
occupied Europe, this correspon'
dent had the opportunity of asking
well-placed military and civilian
authorities the big question of the
age: will there be war?
The answer was yes and no in
about equal proportions.
An authority in Vienna who has
the opportunity of studying many
secret reports on Russian activities
said:
Every move Russia has made
recently has been aggressive. ]
think she is pointing towards war
and we might as well face that
fact srE.
Russia Realistic
But in Berlin, an equally in
formed military man said that
while Russia was in an aggressive
phase" he considered. that it was
policy of expedience and that the
Soviet would become less belliger-
ent if she thought she could do
better that way.
''Look at the map and you'll see
Russia's present policy is paying
off," he said. Realism lies behind
everything they do. Their eventual
aims? No one can predict what
will happen in 20 years but I
should be surprised if there is war
before then"
On the same tour, a comparison
of estimates of Russia's armed
strength from various sources
brought the conclusion that the
Soviet forces are smaller than be-
lieved in some quarters but just
as powerful as advertised.
The Soviet army, by those esti-
mates, is no larger than $500, 900.
But to it must be added 5000, 900
in the nevy, 100000 In the air
force and 100000 In the secret
police, a potential army addition.
Total Mounts
That is a grand total Of 4, 100,-
600. It is susceptible of swift null
however, and the train
ing of recruits and reserves goes
on ceaselessly.
Russia's military planes number
about $4,000. Germany started
World War II with 5000
Russia's navy consists of three
battleships, eight cruisers, IS de-
stroyers, 35 destroyer escorts and
800 submarines. AT least 200 of
the submarines are the Schnorkel

ability to stay underwater for long
periods make them especially
Russia is weak in big bombers
and transports but it is strong in
jet fighters and small and medium
bombers. -.
That accords with its air and
sea strategy. Russia plans to use
her own vast spaces as a weapon
and its efficacy can be attested by
and Adolf Hitler.
Outmatched by West
Russia knows it cannot match
che west, especially the unequalled
American ability to produce big
planes and warships fast. 1t does
not plan to challenge western sea
might as the Kaiser did and Hitler
did to their cost. Rather it plans to
on making its waters
too dangerous for an enemy fleet.
In the air Russia plans to pick
off an invader along the way,
