was one Of the larger under

Costello, Major Figure
InGreenIeoseC Case, Dies

900 ransom never was re-
covered.
Shoulders and former Patrol
man Elmer Dolan served prison
terms for lying about their
handling of the ransom money.
Shoulders died of an appar-
.ent heart attack recently.
The deaths OF Costello and
Shoulders may end any chance
of solving the mystery of what
happened to the missing ran
som. Shoulders maintained his
innocence to the end.
Costello appeared to be under
heavy pressure, both from the
FBI and his underworld as
sociates, but apparently never
disclosed his full part in the
Greenlease case. In October,
1854, he was shot in the chest
and seriously wounded. He first
claimed he shot himself &C.
cidentally in cleaning a re-
volver, later admitted he didn't
shoot himself but refused to
say who did.
Last year another figure In
the ransom inquiry, former
brothel operator May Traynor,
II, was shot to death. She
told police Costello hired gun
men to kill her. Costello was
picked up, denied any part in
it and was released.

ST. LOUIS, June % (AP) d.
Joseph Costello central
figure in the investigation of
the missing 100000 half Of
the Greenlease ransom-died
today at his home. He was
free on bond and scheduled
to go on trial in the fatal
shooting Of Ed Brown, night
club owner.
His personal physician re-
ported the death to the city
coroner, Mrs. Patrick Taylor,
and gave the cause as hyper
tension aggravated by a liver
ailment and diabetes. Police
detectives of the homicide squad
then were sent to the home
for confirmation after a rumor
circulated in the Municipal
Courts Building that Costello
had taken an overdose of
sleeping medicine.
Costello-whose health was
poor-was charged with second
degree murder in the Brown
Staying. His trial had been
set for September S in Pike
County Circuit Court in Bowl
ing Green, Mo-, on a change
of venue.
The 55-year-old Costello, an
ex-convict, turned himself in
at Barnes Hospital shortly
after the Brown shooting. He
had been wounded in the left
arm and commended Brown fired
at him during an argument
and he fired back. Police said
Costello was irrational at the
hospital and had been drinking
heavily.
Served 23-Month Stretch
Costello's most recent prison
term was a 23-month stretch
in Leavenworth Penitentiary
for conspiracy to violate the
National Firearms Act. He was
released Is months ago.
Costello was brought into the
Greenlease kidnapping case
when he furnished the second
tip to former st. Louis Police
1t. Louis Shoulders on the
activities of Carl Austin Hall
kidnap-killer of little Bobby
Greenlease Of Kansas City in
october, 1853. Hall and Mrs.
Bonnie Heady later were ex-
ecuted for the crime.
The first tip was given by
John p. Hager, a driver for the
Ace Cab Co. which Costello
then headed.
Under frequent questioning
by the FBI, Costello refused to
give an account of his activities
in the two days Hall spent in
the st. Louis area prior to his
arrest.

HEADLINE PERSONALITY
Schirro Once EIuded
Errotic Missile in Air

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla,
June % (AP)-Ten years ago
Walter Marty Schirra, jr., un-
leashed Q Sidewinder air-to-air
missile at a drone airplane
flying ahead of his jet over
the California desert.
The missile went haywire
and instead Of homing in on
the drone, it looped upward
toward the plane, its infra-red
sensors locked on the jets ex-
haust.
For several minutes the pilot
Topped his plane right along
with the Sidewinder, eluding
the deadly rocket until it ran
out of fuel.
The experience pointed up a
major theory of the Project
Mercury man-in-space pro-
gram-that human ingenuity
often is essential in tight spots.
In effect, man is superior to
machine in certain areas of
space exploration, Mercury of
ficialS contend.
Third OrbitaI Pilot
Navy Comdr. Schirra (pro-
nounced Shir- RAID soon will
have q chance to add to the
storehouse Of knowledge being
accumulated on mans ability
to perform usefully in space.
He was named yesterday as
the pilot for the third United
States manned orbital flight.
The flight. set for late Au-
gust or September, could be for
as long as six orbits-twice the
distance Travelled by Astronauts
John H. Glenn, jr., and NAL
colin Scott Carpenter on their
orbital rides earlier this year.
The National Aeronautics
and Space Administration said
the length Of the flight will
depend on technical factorsI
which must be evaluated up to
the moment Of liftoff and dur
ing the first spins around the
earth.
Once Comdr. Schirra is up,
how long he stays there will
depend to a great extent on
his ability. primarily in con-
serving spacecraft fuel for the
vital re-entry maneuver.
Col. Glenn and Comdr. Car
penter exhausted their fuel
supplies to dangerous levels
and had none left after re-
entry.
Will Have To Drift"
Comdr. Schirra will carry
only slightly more hydrogen
peroxide fuel than Col. Glenn
and Comdr. Carpenter. To con-
serve 1t, he will have to shut off
all controls and drift" through
space for long periods. Because
he is flying a ballistic path
like a bullet, he will not
wander far off course. His
spacecraft simply will rotate
slowly as 1t streaks at 1880
miles an hour.
Astronaut Schirra, who was
backup pilot for Comdr. Car
penter, should feel right at
home in fast-paced space
flight. Always ready with a !
quick smile and a wisecrack,
the 39-year-old Navy comman-
der likes nothing better than
to take the stick of a jet plane
or the wheel Of a swift sports
car.

Douglas has issued 4 warning
to residents who are planning
remodeling or improvements to
their homes.
Don't have any work done
until you see the contractor :
permit" he urges.
He cites a recent incident
where a woman had a furnace
illegally installed in third
story bathroom and now has
to have it removed.
"If she would have asked the
installer to produce permit, y
said Douglas, "she could have
saved herself a lot Of grief"
He explained that a permit
would not be issued for such
an installation. He also warned
that building inspectors have
been ordered to report all EVIL
dence of work done without
benefit of a permit to him at
once.
From there it will go to the
prosecutor" he said.
Douglas further asserted
that all remodeling and repair
work on homes in East Cleve-
land is strictly governed by
city regulation.
"There are things that can
be done and others that cam
not" he explained, and the
best way to know if you are
doing the right thing is to see
a permit for the work being
done"
"There have been too many
cases of late" he added, where
contractors have installed fix
lures improperly or in the
wrong locality"

The trees will replace de-
cayed and dead trees that are
now being removed on many
local streets.
In answer to many COM
plants, Finance Director Grant
Apthorp explains that it is
necessary TO remove the older
trees because Of the danger
they create.
Those that are not dead or
decayed, he stated, have grown
too large and in many cases
are lifting sidewalks to the
point where they create a haz-
ard.
He estimated that it will
cost another So per tree for
city workers to plant the new
ones.

Boys Gym leaders took the
tests last summer and held
many special meetings so that
they could assist gym teachers
with this years testing.
One significant point about
the participation in this test
was that athletes participating
in fall and winter sports did
not take the test.
1t is reasonable to assume
that the school-wide results
would have been even better if
all boys had been included in
the program.
Brad Kuebler, a sophomore.
had the highest average stand

Second highest was Jeff Ma
