FBI Delays Alert
For Missing Convict
In Kidnap-Murder
Inconsistent Stories
Of Hall, Mrs. Heody Cast
Doubt on Marsh Role
BY the Associofed Press

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 9.-The
FBI today withheld a nation
wide alert on Thomas John
Marsh but police from coast to
coast were on the lookout for the
ex-convict, who may hold the
key to certain unanswered ques-
tions in the Bobby Greenlease
kidnap-killing.
The Federal agency said it had
delayed any nationwide search
for him pending clarification of
inconsistencies in statements
made by the pair now held in the
kidnapping.
Under arrest in st. Louis are
Carl Austin Hall, described as
the leader in the plot, and Mrs.
Bonnie Brown Heady. Al, the di-
vorcee who aided him.
Admits kidnapping.
Hall admitted kidnapping the
6-year-old boy, son of multi
millionaire Robert c. Greenlease,
II, burying the child's body after
finding him dead and collecting
the 100000 ransom.
But he denied killing Bobby,
whose body was dug out of a
shallow grave in the yard of
Mrs. Heady's st. Joseph CMoD
home Wednesday. He told Off
GERS he turned the boy over to
Marsh on the day of the kidnap-
ing and later found him shot to
death in the basement of the
Heady home.
He claims he hasn't seen
Marsh since.
Some officers say they believe
Hall was the killer. Other au-
thorities even have expressed
doubt that Hall and Mrs. Heady
had an accomplice.
Fugitive May Be Dead.
There has been some specula-
ton that Marsh may be dead.
The FBI has filed a fugitive
warrant for the arrest of Marsh
who has been charged with mur-
der.
Although the FBI withheld it's
alert, police across the Nation
kept a close watch for the ex-
convict.
The capture of Marsh could

Who actually killed Bobby
Greenlease?
Why was he killed. even before

Judge Alexander Holtzoff Of
the U. S: District Court for the

last May S.
The pension will be retroac-
tive to February II, 1852, the
date on which the former police
inspector first applied for re-
tirement from the Police De-
partment.
The ruling in effect sets aside

Commissioners last September

gust 81 that the inspector be

Judge Holtzoff pointed out
from the bench that he already

last May, and pointed to his
statement at that time that he
was merely holding the order
in allegiance to give the Police
Department time to take trial

The weakness of the Gov

did not provide for forfeiture Of

Administration Trying to Ease
Fear of Higher Defense Costs
Rise Not Certain, President Says,
But Balanced Budget Isn't in Sight

Gen. Eisenhower said the ad-
ministration was constantly try
ing to adjust our defenses and
our own military capabilities to
a possible threat. But, he added,
that does not necessarily mean
spending more money.
He said he was not prepared
now to say to what degree de-
fense spending might go either
up or down because studies on
the military set-up are not yet
complete.
On the other hand, the Presi-
dent emphasized, the fact that
defense appropriations may re-
main at present levels does not
mean there is any early prospect
Of balancing the budget. He
could not say, for instance, that
the budget would be balanced by
July /, 1955-two fiscal years
away.
Almost at the same time House
Speaker Martin at the Capitol
was warning against being
"stampeded" into huge spending
for National security.
He said that Gen. Eisenhower's
statement concerning Russian
atomic capabilities did not nee
essarily doom all chances of a
balanced budget within the next
two years.
1--WE have to be careful and not
be stampeded into unnecessary
spending which could wreck the
financial picture of this coun-
try" Mr.. Martin said. I'VE must
keep our perspective and not get
too excited until we have a
chance to see all the facts"
War Held Not Probable.
This general line of thought
was echoed today by congress
sional leaders on both sides of
the political fence:
II have no doubt that Russia
could make a limited atomic at
tack on this country" said Sen
ator Hickenlooper, Republican,
of Iowa. "They undoubtedly have
some atomic weapons but it is
doubtful that they could launch
any sustained atomic warfare.
Under these circumstances, I
believe that war is possible but
not probable"
Senator Johnston, Democrat,
of South Carolina, said he agrees
the danger of attack is not i'm
mediate, and he added:
1--WE are clearly ahead in
atomic developments and the
Russians must know it. although
believe that you can't win a
war with atomic explosions
alone"
Senator Gore, Democrat, of
Tennessee, commented that the
President said nothing new and
was only putting a quietus on
the statements of his own ad-
miniStration officials"
Senator Gordon, Republican,

Eisenhower statements would
