Officer Who Seized
Green|ease kidnaper
Goes Before Probers
BY the Assoeiu.sd Press

ST. LOUIS, Oct 21.-Lt. Louis
Shoulders, the policeman who
arrested Carl Austin Hall, the
kidnap-killer of 6-year-old Bobby
Greenlease, today went before a
panel of high police officials in
vestigating circumstances sur
rounding the arrest.
just before 1t. Shoulders made
his delayed appearance at the
inquiry, Police Chief jeremiah
O'Connell expressed doubt the
missing $300,00 in ransom
money ever was brought to st.
Louis.
1t. Shoulders was expected to
be questioned about reported dis
crepancies in his written account
of the arrest October 6 and state
ments by others, including other
police who worked on the case.
Previously Excused.
He previously had said he
could explain every move I made
to the proper authorities" Ear
lier 1t. Shoulders had been ex-
cused from questioning because
of what his physician described
las a nervous condition.
1t. Shoulders made the arrest
of Hall on a tip from Taxi Driver
John Hager that Hall was on a
spending spree.
From what I know so far. I
don't think the $4,000 was
ever brought here" said Chief
O'Connell, who heads the panel
of police officials conducting the
inquiry here.
The police chief said reports
that the FBI has found discrep-
ancies in police accounts Of the
arrest of Hall and his companion,
Mrs. Bonnie Brown Heady, had
raised serious implications as to
conduct of st. Louis police in the
case.
"WeIl leave no stone unturned
to get to the bottom of this mat
ter" he said.
Inquiry May Be Moved.
Chief O'Connell also said the
inquiry might move to Kansas
City to question Mrs. Sandra
| June O'Day, ."if the FB1 will let
us talk to her." Mrs. O'Day, held
as a material witness. has adj
mitted staying with Hall in a
st. Louis County motel the night
before his arrest on October 6.
Taxi Driver Hager was ques-
toned for six hours by the panel
yesterday and later Chief O'Con-
nell refused to say whether
the drivers testimony diff
fered from his earlier state
ments to police and newsmen.
Mr.. Hager told newsmen be-
fore testifying, however, : that
he had been "hounded so much
by this thing that my wife has
become a nervous wreck"
"All this because I decided to
tip off 1t. Shoulders. It's got
ten so I wish I had never called
the police. And you can bet
your bottom dollar I won't call
them again on anything"
Says He Registered for Hall.
Mr.. Hager also reaffirmed to
newsmen that it was he who
registered for Hall at the Town
House Apartment Hotel-where
Hall later was nabbed on Mr..
Hager's tip that he was armed
and on a spending spree.
Mrs. Jean Fletcher, on duty at
the hotel desk at the time, has
said it was neither Hall nor Mr..
Hager who registered for the
room. She was a witness yes
terday.
Other witnesses yesterday in
cluded Patrolman Elmer Dolan,
who accompanied 1t. Shoulders
in Halls arrest, and Lyle Mudd,
a police station turnkey who
guarded Hall after bis arrest.
Both have said 1t. Shoulders left
the station in his private car
after Hall was booked.
1t. Shoulders did not mention
his absence in his written report.

Review Of the Weeks News

De Gaulle's nationalism had
Jagged behind it. There was
still much enthusiasm for in
tegration in the Franch cabi-
net. though perhaps less sense
Of urgency.
In Germany, Adenauer's new
line could be explained as an
inernal political maneuver.
National politics, even a gen.
eral showdown. would not nec-
essarily be fatal to integration.
But renegotiation of the trea-
ties might be a body blow. Ger
man nationalists, Adenauer's
political foes, want an inde-
pendent Germany with an in
dependent army fighting on
equal terms beside other Euro
peans. France. on the other
hand. fears an independent
German army and wants more
assurances that Germany can
not possibly be free to attack
In any direction but east. The
European army plan was de-
vised to satisfy both countries.
Could they agree on any new
set Of Qualifications" for the
treaties?
The answer to that question
would supply the theme for the
next canto in the 1,500-year-
old European saga.

Oil

MORE THAN 18 MONTHS
4VA ago. when Premier Mo-
hammed Mossadegh decided to
take over the British-owned oil
industry in Iran, Western OBJ
servers predicted Iran would be
bankrupt in q few months. At
the same time, Iranian spokes-
men predicted Britain soon
would be desperate for new oil.
Neither prediction has come
true. Iran has not been able
to run the refineries or sell, in
the face Of threatened British
suits, the oil already processed.
Britain, meanwhile, has OBJ
tanned plenty Of oil from other
Middle East countries. Neither
Iran nor Britain has given up
Its claims to the oil industry.
Mossadegh not only has sur
vived, but. from last weeks de-
velopments, apparently believes
he Is gaining strength.

are hanging fire. Mayer is in
evitably heading for a fall.
Such q prediction of doom.
however, does not worry the
French people unduly. They
realize that the sound made
by a falling government Is
worse than the damage 1t does.
The recent cabinet crisis. when
France was technically with
out q government for more than
two weeks. meant only that no
new major policy decisions
could be made. The ministers
continued to serve. permitting
each department to function as
usual. The standstill in ad-
ministration was no worse than
that resulting from the two
and-a-half-month interregnum
between the Democratic and
Republican administrations in
this country.
ReoI Continuity
The French also point out
that they actually change cab
met members no more often
than did the Truman admins
tration. Most major French
ministries have been headed
by only two or three persons
since the war. An incoming
Premier frequently keeps tho
incumbent or perhaps goes back
to the man who preceded him.
Consequently there is real con-
tinuity in administration.
The biggest drawback to this
unique French game of musical
chairs shows up in foreign rela-
tions. France wants to be rec
ognized as a great world power,
and she wants her word to carry
weight in international discus
sions. Her governmental in
stability, however, often makes
her voice an uncertain one at
key moments. Last week. for
instance. with Churchill, Eisen-
hover and Stain turning over
proposals for a Big Power con-
ference, France did not have q
person with the. authority to
present her point of view.
Most Frenchmen seem to feel
there is no ready solution to the
problem Of instability. They
do not enjoy the crises. but
they do enjoy their free French
spirit.

Under Frances postwar con-
stitution, a premier must have
the support of a majority Of
the representatives in the Ma
tional Assembly. Obviously,
no candidate can form a gov
ernment with the backing of
only his own party. There
must be a coalition.
Antoine Pinay. the most re-
cent premier. was supported by
the center parties-all but the
Communists, Socialists a n d
Gaullists. Those three parties
have stayed out Of most post
war governments. Mayer last
week managed to broaden the
base somewhat when he Sc
cured shaky support Of the

ais and minor groups standing

patriots in Trans Parliament
have hailed his nationalisrn.
Last week, however, some of
the delegates to the Malls
dover house Of Parliament)
cried that Mossadegh was not
nationalistic enough. They OBJ
jected to the talks he had been
having with United States AM
bassador 10y Henderson-talks
which were reported to be lead
ing toward a compromise Of
thes Anglo-Iranian deadlock.
The delegates also were worried
that Mossadegh's recent an
nouncement Of a new election
law meant that he was trying
to weaken the Mails.
The new law would increase
the size of the Mails from 1856
to 172 members and would re-
arrange election districts. The
dissatisfied delegates said the
districts would be gerryman-
dered to suit Mossadegh and
that 1t would be difficult to
keep a quorum in q larger
Mails. Mossadegh was seeking
these changes, they charged. so
that he could make a deal with
the Americans and the British.
Adjournment in Uproor
Fifteen delegates demanded
passage of a bill which would
nullify Mossadegh's decree. The
Nails adjourned In an uproar
when the Is stalked out of the
chamber.
The next day MoSsadegh de-
manded that the Parliament
give him a vote Of confidence.
The opposition knuckled under,
and he won his vote. There
was only one dissent.
Then Mossadegh decided to
press his advantage. He de-
manded that the Parliament
extend for one year his power
to govern by decree. He had
been voted such power August
8, but it was to expire February
8. The Mails was stunned.
One delegate said he would
resign his seat. Other dele
gates hestitated to speak up.
Obviously Mossadegh felt he
was firmly enough in the sad
die to make himself virtual die
tator and to continue talks
with the 'imperialists."
United States officials, mean

with Mossadegh were making

France that the United States,

At weeks end the outlook for

that had fallen apart after
nine months under Pinay.
To avoid a fate similar to
that Of Pinay, Mayer went to
the Gaullists-the far-right
faction in French politics. The
Gaullists, with IS members, had
not joined in a government
since De Gaulle himself stepped
down in 1916. The former re-
sistance leader is a nationalist
who wants France to lose none
of her sovereignty in any pam
Europe experiment.
He is even opposed to an inte-
grated European army. Mayer.
on the other hand, is one of the
architects of that plan.
Nevertheless, they reached
an agreement. The Gaullists
would indorse Mayer, but
would not take posts in his
cabinet. Mayer, in turn, said
he would re-negotiate the Eu-
ropean army treaty to seek
additional protocols to main
tain the unity and integrity Of
our army and Of the French
Union" It sounded like the
De Gaulle nationalist line. AS
a European army was to be
