Dr. Campbell—dressed clothes—was caught Saturday night when she reached for $20,000 ransom cash and 30 hid- den FBI agents and police rushed her in the darkness. “I'm only a go-between!” they said she shouted as they hurtled into her, thinking she was a man. in men’s Find Vietim But in her yellow convertible only a few feet away they found her bed- raggled victim—Linda Stamm.

It probably will form the basis | for President Truman’s foreign ec- onomic recommendations - to the {new Congress next year. | The Chief Executive made public |a global survey of economic pros- | pects and American aid in the light {of the Communist threat and the western rearmame:nt program. The survey calls for far-reaching dev- ielopments in American policy to provide help running into billions ‘nf dollars over the next few years —perhaps $8,000,000,000 or more. | | U. N.

The basic strategy was to re- assure Chinese Communist leaders | that U.

If convicted, she would face from five years in pri son to death in the electric chair | under New Mexico’s severe kidnap law. Linda’s mother, 32-year-old Mrs. Allen Stamm, was shocked to find the admitted kidnaper was the same respected women’s specialist who had delivered her second son, Craig Stamm, just two years ago. But after her 30-hour ordeal she had little sympathy for Dr. Camp- bell. “I hope she will never be free again to bring to others what she has brought to us in heartaches and worry,” she said.

By DREW PEARSON WSHINGTONfDespWe the slim Democratic margin in the new Congress, a little personal friction cropped up between the President and his Congressional leaders one day after election over the question of calling Congress back before Thanksgiving. Vice President Barkley even went so far as to serve notice that he would ignore any early call of Congress and stay home. This no- tice was served on the President through Senate Secretary Les Bif- fle, who talked to Barkley at his home in Paducah, Ky, then to Truman on the Presidential yacht Williamsburg. Other Senate leaders—majority leader Scott Lucas of Illinois and Republican leader Ken Wherry of Nebraska—also passed word through "Biffle that that they were dead set against an early session. ‘This could be the beginfing of a serious feud between the President and Congress. The President, however, was non- commital. All he told Biffle was that he wanted to talk the matter lly with the leaders ing his decision se which Barkley sent intended to take it, no ma Truman decided. The Vice ident complained that he was worn out frem his whirlwind campa tour, which included three to five speeches daily and a phenomenal windup of 14 speeches on the day before election.

In the main, Gray proposed action along three lines: 1. Foreign assistance—a vastly ex- | panded U. S. aid program carrying i billions not only for Europe but |also for under-developed areas— | Africa, Asia and Latin America— |and administered by single agencies | in Washington. To Cost Billions The amount of economic assis- tance they will need remains to be | figured out, but at one point Gray's |advisers tentatively estimated the cost at $1,500,000,000 to $2,000,000,- 1000 a year. Meanwhile, the U. S. in | cooperation with International bank | would also undertake a loan and | grant program for the underdev-| {eloped areas totalling at least $1,- { 100,000,000 a year, far beyond any- thing previously planned. { 2. Domestic economic policies— drastic revision of American tariff, | shipping, agricuitural and other in- ternal policies which Gray describ- | ed as conflicting with this coountry’s foreign economic policies aimed at { helping friendly nations produce and sell more goods for dollars, 3. Conditions of aid—The Gray | report takes the line that the Uni- ted States, using aid agreements and distribution as a lever, should continue to insist on high perfor- mance by other nations in carrying | their share of the load.
