FULTON. Mo . Aug. 5 — (U.R) —
State highway patrolmen and local
ifficers throughout central Mis-
souri loday pressed the search for
five criminally in sane men. one of
them a killer, who fled from the
state asylum here.
Two abductions and a shooting
which might have been the work of
the fugitives spurred officers in
their efforts to capture them.
The five insane men, Edward
Marcum. 26. Paul E. McCormick. 38,
George E. Rogers. 55. William
Smith, 32, and Oliver Hamilton, 35,
escaped Saturday night.
McCormick and Marcum seized
cne of the keepers at the asylum,
took his keys, thrust him into a
cell and locked him there. Then
they liberated the three who ac-
companied them on the flight and
also a sixth Inmate, Henry St.
Johns.
A second keeper who came upon
them also was locked ln a cell.
They used the attendants' keys to
unlock a clothing room, where they
changed to street clolhlng, and to
make their way out of the institut-
ion.
Some time after the escape, St.
Johns returned and reported that
the other five were going south
from Fulton on foot. S»arch to the
south of Fulton during the night
failed to reveal a trace of the
fugitives.
Abduct inn Reported
The first abduction occurred Sun-
day afternoon near Columbia. Mo.,
when T B. Crosswhite was stopped
by a man who entered his auto-
mobile and forced Crosswhite to
drive some distance with him. As
the car neared Columbia, the man
ordered Crosswhite to get out and
drove away with the autotniblf.
A little later three state high-
way department workmen, Arthur
Bramble. Robert Wilburn and Bar-
ney Gladney, were abducted near
Centralia by a heavy set man of a-
bout 30 with a two days' growth of
beard. ,
The abductor later tied the trio
to trees on the side of the road, us-
ing friction tape belonging to the
workmen, and left on foot. They
liberated themselves and reported
to authorities.
Two hitchhikers, one with a
minor scalD wound, stopped at a
tilling station near Boonville and
told of a bullet hitting the injured
man as they were sitting under a
tree at the side of the road.
Authorities believed, however,
that the bullet was a stray one from
a hunter's gun.
Hamilton, one of those still a t
large, and 8t. Johns, who returned
voluntarily to the asylum, have re-
cords as killers. Both were sent to
the institution from St. Louis.

Sheriff Stanley Rogers of Okla-
WASHINOTON. Aug. 5 <U.»—
The new deal this week approaches
a billion dollar decision on what
It's going to do about American
cotton.
On Thursday at 11 a. m. E.S.T.,
government experts will announce
the lirst official estimate of the
1935-36 cotton crop, most valuable
of United States agricultural har-
vests.
The government Is expected to
decide—after the estimate—whether
It will continue to hold cotton ac-
quired on loans to farmers or
whether It can pour some $306,000,-
000 back Into the treasury by un-
loading here and abroad its stocks
of cotton.
Supply Involved
The world supply of American
cotton, counting this year's crop,
is expected to be valued roughly
at $1,000,000,000 regardless of the
actual number of bales it will to-
tal. The decision on a cotton loan
tills year will Involve this supply.
The government now has a<*»
proxlmately 5,100,000 bales of cot*
ton. acquired at a cost of $306,-
000,000, which It would sell and
turn the money back to the com-
modity credit corporation If market
conditions permitted.
The United States acquired Its
cotton by loans to farmers, taking
the cotton as collateral up to 12
cents a pound. It agreed to make
a cotton loan again this year.
Bankhead Anticipate* Lean
The United Press was Informed
authoritatively that President
Roosevelt last March privately
stated that the loan would not ex-
ceed 12 cents a pound. Senator
John H. Bankhead. Democrat Ala-
bama. chairman of the senate agri-
cultural committee, said today that
he would be "very much suprlsed"
if a 12-cent loan Is not authorised.
AAA officials, however, with the
exception of Oscar Johnson, man-
ager of the cotton pool, were re-
ported opposed to a maximum 12-
cent loan. They contended that
continued accumulation of surplus
would place the AAA In a position
similar to that of the defunct farm
board.
The government’s 12-cent loan
last year did not hold the market
above 12 cents. If a similar loan
had the same result this year, the
government would have the entire
cotton crop on Its hands because
farmers would take government
loans at 12 cents lather than sell
at a lower rale on the market.
The 1935-36 crop Is roughly es-
timated at between 10,600,000 and
12,500.000 bales. Last year’s crop
was 9.470,000 bales. Foreign pro-
duction also might be expected to
increase if the price were kept
pegged high.
