THE KANSAS CITY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1949. 7 AFC PROBE A GOAL Senator Fulbright Questions Lending Policies of the Federal Agency. FUSE IN CAR FIRM LOAN 'Arkansan's Request That the Money Be Delayed Is Turned Down. Little Rock, Nov. 8.

(AP)-Senator Fulbright of Arkansas, Democrat, said tonight he will seek a full-scale congressional investigation of the Reconstruction Finance corporation's lending policies. He said he will recommend an Investigation when Congress reconvenes in January. Fulbright, chairman of a Senate banking subcommittee, reached his decision after the RFC today turned down his request that a 44-milliondollar loan to the Kaiser-Frazer Automobile corporation be delayed. The Arkansas senator said he feared the loan might not be in accord with RFC objectives and "a step toward putting the government in the automobile business." A Depression Agency. "My conception of the RFC," he to a great general business depression.

The was not set up to prevent just any bankruptcy." His office said Kaiser-Frazer had lost money in the first half of 1949. Fulbright is to hear the car firm's side of the story tomorrow. KaiserFrazer officials came here tonight to confer with the senator. Kaiser-Frazer wants the money to produce a low cost car. Earlier today, Henry J.

Kaiser, president of the corporation, scribed as "low down" Fulbright's request that the loan be held up, adding: "A plot to stop Kaiser-Frazer from producing the -priced car for which Americans have been clamoring for years is at last out in the open." Scoffs at Plot Idea. Commenting on this, Fulbright asserted: "The idea of a plot is perfectly ridiculous. don't even know any of the cu manufactures. I just don't think RFC interprets the law in the spirit it was intended "He (Kaiser) is just talking out of his hat." The RFC telegraphed the Arkansas senator that his request was too late because the agency's board of directors "already finally approved" the Kaiser-Frazer loan. Referring to Kaiser-Frazer's plan for a low priced car, the senator declared: "It seems to me that back in 1945 Henry Kaiser sold stock to the public on the supposition that he was going to turn out a low- priced car.

with 44 millions public money you could make a Cadillac for $200 and sell it to quite a few people." ITS GOLD STRIKE A DUD. Assayers Find Castaic, Metal Is Mostly Brass. CASTAIC, Nov. California's latest gold strike ended today almost as quickly as it started. When Charley Allen discovered shiny metal at the bottom of a well behind his cafe, this town's 300 inhabitants came down with gold fever.

Prospectors and so-called experts converged on Castaic, just ten miles from the site of California's first gold discovery in 1842, They told Allen he had the real thing. Along with eight others, Allen filed a claim, then sent samples to an assayer in Bakersfield. Today, the assay report came back. The prospectors shrugged their shoulders and left town. The assayer said there is some gold in the ground, all right, but most THE EASIEST WAY OUT WAS THROUGH the window for a safe which had to be moved yesterday from an office above the Bank of Independence on the Independence square.

Sea Abstract company, which is moving from the bank building to the Medical Arts building, a block away.

Hooks is accused of manslaughter by motor car. Terry and his brother, Jimmy Quinn, 14, sons of Col. and Mrs. Michael Quinn, were on the way to the De La Salle Military academy when the accident occurred. Jimmy Quinn testified earlier that had pushed him from the path of the westbound truck.

ENTERED ON GREEN LIGHT. Hooks said in response to questions by his attorney, Frank L. Cohn, that he had entered the intersection with the green light. He was driving eight to ten miles an hour, he said. "When I got about halfway into McGee I saw these boys," he said.

"They were standing there (on' the medial divider) and I blew my horn. I got halfway and the light changed yellow. One of the boys stepped out. I was cutting in to the curb to the left to miss him and I didn't see other boy step out." "Did you apply your brakes?" Cohn asked. "No." Hooks replied.

"I didn't see anything in front of me." "When did you apply them?" "I applied then after my helper said, 'Wait a minute. I think you hit that STOPPED NEAR ALLEY.

In cross-examination by Donald Murphy, an assistant prosecutor, Hooks said that his machine, loaded with 6,600 pounds of junk in the middle of the intersection when he saw the Quinn boys on the divider. didn't see the boy I struck," he said. "I was watching the small boy who ran out in front of me." "Did your brakes catch rapidly when you applied them?" Murphy asked. "When I put the pressure on didn't have no trouble stopping." MOTION IS DENIED. Prior to the defendant's testimony Judge Ray G.

Cowan, outside the presence of the jury, denied a motion by the defense to dismiss the jury and discharge the defendant. Cohn and David Bresler, who is assisting in the defense, asserted at the close of the state's evidence that the state had failed to prove culpable negligence. Harry J. North, 50, of 1445 West Fiftieth street, a witness to the fatal accident, was recalled to the stand yesterday. North said that he was sitting in his northbound car on McGee waiting for the traffic signal light to change.

TN January, 1948, The Star printed Ursula a photograph of Miss Wamboch, formerly of Kassel, Germany, and Max Pryor, 831 West Thirty-ninth street terrace.

Miss Wamboch had flown to this country to be married to Pryor. She had met 1 him when he was a master sergeant in the infantry in Germany in 1945. Mr. and Mrs. F.

E. Rownd, 3704 East Thirty-sixth street, saw the picture and Mr. Rownd mailed it to their son, Capt. William E. Rownd, former Central high school and University of Missouri graduate, who was stationed in Kassel.

"It was just a casual Mr. Rownd said. "I had no thought of Bill having particular interest in the story." A short time later, Captain Rownd was for the first time a visitor in the home of a family named Schutze in Kassel. When the Schutzes learned. that Rownd was from Kansas City, younger Schutze daughter exclaimed: "My very best recently went to Kansas City." "Was her name Ursula Wamboch?" Rownd asked.

"Why, yes. How did you know?" was surprised answer. On the next visit to the Schutze home, Rownd took picture of Miss Wamboch and Pryor. Much interest and happiness was evidenced by members of the Schutze family. "Her name is Ursula," the younger Schutze daughter said.

"My name is Ursula, too. That is just another of the many close links between us. I'd certainly like to see Ursula again and to see America some day." Ursula Schutze will achieve both of those ambitions because she now is Mrs. Ursula Rownd. She and Captain Rownd were married August 8 in Kassel.

They had three wedding ceremonies. One was performed the Kassel burgomaster in the city, hall. second was performed by Lutheran minister in a Kassel church. An army chaplain officiated Schutze home for the third ceremony. Captain Rownd's 3-year tour of duty in Germany is near an end and he and his wife are expected to visit his parents by Christmas or Year's.

"I can't wait to meet her in person." In the meantime, that same picture has resulted in the establishment of a firm friendship here between Mr. and Mrs. Rownd and Mr. and Mrs. Max Pryor.

Needless SO say, Ursula Pryor is awaiting avidly the arrival here of Ursula Schutze- now Ursula Rownd. The Pryors and the senior Rownds exchange visits frequently. "Max and Ursula were over to our house just the other night with their baby, a handsome boy," Mrs. Rownd said. "It should be a great reunion when the two Ursulas from Kassel get together after SO long an absence, and when we see our son for the first time in several years." At that, the reunion will be a fairly brief one, as Captain and Mrs.

Rownd, after their visit here, will leave for an army camp near Washington. STUDY MO. PAC. ISSUES. ST.

FIND A CATHOLIC UNBALANCE.

Small' Percentage of the Church Population Lives on Farms. COLUMBUS, Nov. -Directors of the National Catholic Rural Life conference advocated toa better balance between Catholic city and farm populations. They issued a 10-point program at the conference's twenty-seventh annual convention. "Only 5 to 8 per cent of the American Catholic population lives on farms," their statement said.

"Approximately 16 per cent of the general population tills the soil. This unbalance brings about biological, social, economic and even religious effects that are dangerous to any group."
