Three days later, Bobby's body
was found buried in the backyard
of Mrs. Heady's home in st.
Joseph.
The recordings, if they could
be admitted as evidence, would
be extremely damaging-perhaps
more conclusive than Halls
signed confession.
The Justice Department plans
to try Hall and Mrs. Heady in
Federal court on kidnap-mur-
der charge. Federal courts do
not accept as evidence any ma
terial gathered through wire taps.
State courts do. The State of
Missouri wants to try Hall and
Mrs. Heady for murder. The
Missouri court would listen to
the recordings.
While there has been no Of
fetal statement from the FBI, the
Federal agents are likely to view
the Greenlease case as one more
argument in favor Of allowing
the FBI to use wire-tap evidence
in major crimes such as espio-
mage and kidnapping.

Chinese May Subdue Tibet
With WACs Instead of War

The Chinese Communists are
trying out a new idea in Tibet.
They believe they have hit upon
a new way of subduing a coun-
try and at the same time dis
covering a new job for Chinese
WACs.
So, they are sending an un-
determined number of Chinese
women soldiers into the secret

Getting the Chinese WACs to

may be a smart move on the
part of the Chinese Communists,
They know that traditionally it
is the married women who rule
the roost in Tibet. Not only do
women hold equal rights. but in
many cases property rights and

Churchill Gets Nobel Prize
For His Historical WRITINGS
British Leader First
Statesman to Win
Literary Award
BY The Assocloied Press

STOCKHOLM, Sweden. Oct.
Is. - Prime Minister Winston
Churchill was today awarded the
1858 Nobel literature prize for
his brilliant historical writings.
The famed British war leader
thus became the first maker of
history to receive a Nobel prize
for reporting it.
The 175,292-crown ($33,84O)
award was announced by the
Swedish Academy after a brief
formal session this afternoon.
The decision was clearly the
most unusual ever taken by the
academy, which has been dis
tributing the literary Nobel
prizes since the turn of the
century.
Statesmen, including premiers
and foreign ministers, have been
awarded nearly score of Nobel
peace prizes, which are dis
trlbuted by the Nobel Committee
of the Norwegian Parliament.
But the British Premier is the
first statesman ever to receive
the literary prize.
Mr.. Churchill said he hoped to
come to Stockholm to receive
the award.
Swedish Ambassador Gunnar
Hagglof offered the prize to Mr.
Churchill at the prime minis
ter'S residence in London. Mr.
Churchill said it was very agree
able news" and added:
Il think it is a very great
honor to receive this distinction
gained among all the other writ
ers of the world. It is a literary

Benson Is Optimistic
On Farmers Future
Despite Price Drop
Lists Five Reasons
For Brighter Prospects
In Kansas City Talk
BY the Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 15.-Sec-
retary of Agriculture Benson
said today long-term prospects
for agriculture are bright de-
spite the current drop in farm
prices and income.
And. in remarks prepared for
the Future Farmers of America,
he said Government farm pro-
grams are going to be "geared
to more realistic production"
In his prepared text, Mr.. Ben
son made no reference to the
possible political effects of the
drop in farm prices, which be-
gan more than year ago. Tues
days upset Democratic victory
in a special House election in
Wisconsin has been attributed,
in part. to dissatisfaction with
Eisenhower administration farm
policy.
The secretary said the most
pressing problem concerns fall
ing farm prices and income. a
decline in foreign markets and
excess stocks of some farm prod
ucts.
Bought Heavily This Year.
The Government during the
past year has bought heavily in
wheat, corn, dairy products and
some other commodities in an
effort to keep prices up under
support programs.
The Secretary did not spell out
what he intended to do about
the excess stocks. but he said
surpluses "are not likely to be
continuing problems that will
plague you in your operations a
few years from now"
I'VE shall not continue to
freeze production in uneconomic
patterns" Mr.. Benson said. "Our
programs will provide proper in
centives for agriculture to adjust
output of specific commodities
according to demand"
A major decline in foreign
markets during the past year,
the Secretary said, is largely re-
sponsible for the present big
stocks of wheat and cotton.
Lists Reasons for Optimism.
Here are five basic reasons" J."
he said, why your agricultural
future should be bright:
Il. You face an expanding do
meStlc and foreign market.
80. Future Government pro-
grams will be geared to more
realistic production.
80. Agricultural efficiency will
continue to rise.
a. You will benefit by great
improvements in marketing.
IS. A sound economy will fos-
ter farm prosperity"
Mr.. Benson said that, while
productive efficiency on the Ma
tion's farms has bounded ahead.
progress in marketing methods
has Jagged. He continued:
"Our remedy for this lack of
balance will be to give more en-
phasiS to marketing research
while at the same time contin-
uing to strive for greater pro-
duction efficiency"

Immediately after 6-year-old
Bobby was taken from his school
in Kansas City, Mo-, on Sep
tember %.
Federal agents then recorded
numerous ransom calls from
Carl Austin Hall. He has con-
fesSed that, along with Mrs.
Bonnie Brown Heady, he kid
naped Bobby and shot him to
death even before collecting
100000 ransom from his multi
millionaire father. Bobby's body
was found eight days ago at st.
Joseph, Mo.
FBI Worked Quietly.
From outward appearances the
FBI was remaining out of the
case. The Greenlease family
feared Bobby would be murdered
if law enforcement officers inter-
vened.
But there was no objection to
the FBI working in a way that
would not frighten the kidnapers.
Attorney General Brownell
presumably authorized the FBI
to use the wiretap, because the
FBI has rule against such re-
cordingS unless the Attorney
General agrees.
The FBI had legal authority
to intervene because on the day
of the kidnapping the Greenlease
family received a ransom de-
mand through the mails. This
made the case a Federal offense.
Held Lengthy Talks.
Further negotiations we're by

to the Greenlease home for as
