After Z Kidnapings
And 3Car Thefts
BY the Assoeioted Press

, GOLDEN, Colo, Feb. ga
young gunman who had "holed
up" for the winter by stocking a
mountain cabin with machine
guns, food, check writing equip
ment and a mink coat, was held
for two kidnapings and three auto
thefts.
He identified himself as Andrew
Cecil McCauley, %, and boasted
to Sheriff Carl Enlow that he is
wanted in IL States for $250,000
worth of bad checks.

<flve-hour chase over icy mountain
roads was pistol-toting Barbara
Jean Carroll, %, of Houston, Tex
Sheriff Enlow said McCauley
was questioned about the million
dollar Drinks agency holdup in
Boston, but apparently had no
connection with it. FBI agents al
so questioned McCauley.

Sheriff Enlow said he found in
McCauley's cabin: Two rifles, a
pistol, two German army machine
pistols, 20 cases of food, a mink
coat, hundreds of blank checks
from all parts of the country, 18
telephone directories, a check
writing machine and a case of
whisky.
A tip to Undersheriff Oscar
Kitterman that McCauley had
taken the whisky to the cabin
started this chain of events
Saturday night and early yester-
day:
Mr.. Kitterman and his son,
Donald, 20, went to the cabin and
asked the two to come to Golden
for routine check. Donald rode
back with McCauley and Miss
Carroll. McCauley drew a ma
chinegun and forced Donald to
stop his father, following in
another car.

A highway patrol car drove up.
McCauley forced the patrolman
out, and drove off in it. holding
young Kitterman hostage. He
then forced George H. NOVEL;, 40,

That car stalled when McCau-
ley drove it off on a side road. Still

hind. Ignoring McCauley's threats
that he would shoot him, Mr.. Mil
Ter speeded over icy roads at 80
miles an hour until they reached

car, dived out the door, and his
passengers gave up without a

for some party members.
Werner w. Schroeder, Illinois
national committeeman, had
called for an end to the bi-parti-
san foreign policy.
Mr.. Schroeder said this policy
of which Michigan's Senator Van

publican exponent, gives the
Republicans no alternative except
rubber stamp approval.
1t has stif1ed debate, he said,
and discouraged independent

Senator Vandenberg was active
in writing the foreign portion of
their new platform.
They said this declaration re-
affirms Republican faith in the
United Nations and pledges Re-

international policy which the
COP can approve in advance.
National Chairman Guy w
Gabrielson said the 2,000-woro

that the party has something te
offer the people besides criticism
of the Truman administration s
actions.
There seemed little doubt, how
ever. that the party would follow
the lead of Gov. Arthur B. Langiie
of Washington in condemning
what he called government pater-

The Governor said in a sug-

Entertainers Release
Property Attachment
In 100000 Libel Suii
BY the Associated Press

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. g.
Paul Draper and Larry Adler, New
York entertainers who are prose-
cutting a 100000 libel suit against
Mrs. Hester r. Mccullough, an
nounced today they are withdraw
ing the attachments they placed
against her property.
The announcement was made
here through the law firm repre-
senting the two plaintiffs. Notice
of the withdrawal of the attach
ment was filed with the clerk of
the Federal Court here.
Draper and Adler, who filed
their suit against Mrs. McCul-
Tough a year ago last month, said
the attaching of Mrs. McCul-
lough's property was "a legal de-
tail which was arranged by our
then attorney. We had no knowl-
edge of it at the time"
Change Laws.
The entertainers, who complain
that Mrs. Mccullough damaged
their personal and professional
reputation by making statements
that they had Communist SYM
pathies, have changed lawyers
since f1lig the suit.
Connecticut permits a plaintiff
in a civil suit to attach property
OF defendant before judgment.
Mrs. Mccullough. wife of an as
sociate picture editor of Time
Magazine, said the attaching of
her bank account ard property
hampered her in preparing a de-
fense against the charges of
Draper and Adler. Sylnpathizers
from all over the country have
made donations to a defense fund
for her.
No Application to Court.
The statement by Draper and
Adler said: 1--WE have discovered
that this attachment has been
considered unjust by many peo-
pie. Mrs. Mccullough has
never made any application to the
court to have the attachment re-
duced or removed. or availed her
self of other provisions of the law
which would give relief # the at
tachment had been an incon-
venience.
I'm view, however. cf the wide
spread misinformation concerning
this law, we have instructed our
present attorneys to have the at
tachment released"

WELDING an economy ak, the
Senate late yesterday chopped
the total down to $1,138, ,0o0, 900,
making reductions also in the
amount allocated to the District
for the two fiscal years 1852 and
1853.
The measure now goes back to
the House. which is expected to
send it swiftly to conference. The
House previously had passed the
measure with a total of $1,293,-
100000.
Under the House-passed bill, the
District would have received So

nate section that would have
given joint Jurisdiction over park
ways to both the Secretary of the
Interior and the Secretary of
Commerce was approved, leaving
control in the Secretary of In
terror.

parkway authorization was So mil
lion earmarked for the Washing
ton Baltimore parkway.
When the bill came up for ac-
ton on the Senate floor, Chair
man Chavez of the Senate Public
Works Committee called up al
series of committee amendments
dsigned to cut the original COM
mittee total of $748.5 million for
each fiscal year by $120 million.
This was in response to President |
Truman's economy request in view
Of the Korean situation.
But economy advocates not only
accepted all of the Chavez cuts
but made further reductions of
their own.
The Senate eliminated entirely
the $40 million yearly earmarked
for interstate highways by the
House. A 1925 million-a year item
Tor primary roads was approved
by the Senate.
Byrd Cuts Rural Roads.
An allotment of $3.50 million
for rural roads, prescribed by the
House, was trimmed to $135 mil
lion by the Senate on motion of
Senator Byrd, Virginia Democrat,
Senator Byrd's motion to cut the
Houses $125 million for urban
roads to $112.5 million a year
also was passed.
Other items in the bill passed
by the Senate include one-year
grants for: Forest highways, $40
million; forest roads and trails,
$40 million; park roads and trails.
$40 million; Indian roads, Sc mil
lion; emergency fund, S. million;

ly nothing that we can look upon

Most of us think we'll work

But when that time comes, pos

have the same urge to do the
things we wanted to when we

enjoyment is lost. We can never
