Man, it’s real cool — and that’s not just be-bop-
talk.
The norther which had been predicted for Sun-
day was a little delayed, but it came in Monday
night, and Baytonians who had gone to bed with
only a sheet for cover regretted it before morn-
ing.
The cold front pushed the temperature down to
56, and really put a nip in the air. It was the
coolest weather so far this fall, and Baytown
people turned out Tuesday morning in sweaters,
woolens and coats.
A bright sun promised wanner weather for
this afternoon, however.
The norther followed on the heels of an unusual
fall “heat wave” which sent the mercury up into
the 90s several times during the past two weeks.
Weather forecasters said the cold front has
pushed on out into the Gulf, but the cool air will
remain for a few days.
Baytonians were hoping it would stay until Fri-
day — it’s real cool football weather.
(than 250 volunteer Red Feather workers were poised Tues-
, the annual task of collecting contributions for the Baytown

La Porte Chief of Police Walter Roberson credited the cool front
Tuesday with saving at least one life.
Roberson said that a middle-aged woman who Monday night
jumped into the Houston ship channel near the old Morgan’s Point

The woman asked the help of a passer-by in preventing a second
attempt. The passer-by called Roberson, who with Deputy Sheriff
Jimmie Crate, took her back to Kemah, where she was staying-
after helping her find her spectacles.

Contact has been made in Cht
Greenlease kidnap case, reliable *
sources reported Tuesday,
The report came on the heels of
a Chicago newspaper report that
Bobby Greenieese’s kidnaper had
demanded *500,000 ransom from
the boy’s wealthy parents.
In surburban Mission Hills, a
tense silence dominated the ivy-
trimmed brick mansion.
Tension grew out of the fact feat
Robert Ledterman, who first act-
ed as spokesman for the sorrow-
ing family, now has not been seen
for more than 48 hours. Specula-
tion cast fee 69-year-old Tulsa man
in the role of intermediary.
Ledterman, a business partner of
fee 71-year-old millionarie father,
Robert C. Greenlease, was last
seen at 7:30 a- m. Sunday when he
stepped outside in the rain to look
for a newspaper on the lawn.
Speculation was heightened fur-
ther by the longer-than-usual visit
of a priest and a Chicago news-
paper’s (American i story that
Bobby’s abductor had asked pay-
ment of $500,006 ransom for his re-
turn. The ransom report got only
a terse "no comment” from the
family and law enforcement agen-
cies.
A trim nurse answered the bell
at 8:30 a. m. Tuesday and told
newsmen that “they are all asleep”
when asked if the reporters could
see Ledterman.
Hadn’t Seen Him
The nurse was asked if she had
seen Ledterman.
She said she came at the wrong
time of day to see him. She said
the same thing Monday morning.
At 9 a- m., Stewart M. Johnson,
general manager of Greenlease
Motor Car Co., was asked if Led-
terman was asleep, t.
"No comment,” he replied. Ha
has been a member of the house-
hold in this emergency.
Newsmen pounding the pavement
on Verona Terrace beneath arch-
ing elms in front of fee great house
were impressed Monday night by
fee total lack of activity. Two Cad-
illacs parked at fee side qf the
house were not used.
Arthur B. Eisenhower, brother of
fee President and vice president of
the Commerce Trust Co., one of
Kansas City’s largest banks, visit-
ed the Greenlease home Monday
night. He brushed off repeated
questions by newsmen as he left
the house.

Three-Cent Letters Now Going By Air
MAGEE, Miss., Oct. 6-UP-
Authorities planned to ask the FBI
to join a search Tuesday for Gloria
Jean Rogers, 8. believed taken
from the state after being spirited
out of school by a "blonde”
woman.
Sheriff Garrett Mullins said there
was a “good possibility" the wom-
an was Gloria Jean’s own mother
and feat the child’s disappearance
resulted from a custody wrangle
instead of a kidnaping for ransom.
Mullins said he planned to ask
federal authorities to check certain
addresses in Texas where fee
woman is believed to have lived
since her divorce from Gloria
Jean’s father, I. W. Rogers.
There have been no ransom
notes, he said, and the family has
only moderate means.
Mullin* said Rogers, since re-
married and now living in Hatties-
burg, Miss., knew nothing about
her disappearance. For five years
Gloria Jean has lived with Rogers’
sister, Mrs. Maylon Floyd.
E. C. Hankerson, the school
principal, told authorities he be-
came suspicious when the woman
and a male companion asked to
see Gloria Jean at school Monday
morning, and refused until he could
telephone the Floyds.
While he was telephoning, Han-
kerson said, the woman called
Gloria Jean from her classroom
and the couple disappeared with
her in an old model blue Plymouth
sedan with a Texas license plat*.
