Brannon said Greenlease had more than 100 employes and associates in his widespread automobile enterprises alone and that it would be "hard to pin down that sort of angle." The officers refused to speculate on whether the abduction was done by a professional kidnaper for ransom or was the work of a deranged woman simply wanting a child. "In these cases there is no pattern." Brannon said. "Usually, however, demands are made within a short time ransom kidnapers want to keep a victim any longer than necessary.

Sept. 29 UP The New York shipping association appealed to President Eisenhower Tuesday to invoke the Taft-Hartley law to prevent a strike which could erupt into bloodshed and violence. The association appealed to the President after turning down a "final" proposal from the International Association for a new contract. The ILA has threatened to call out its members in all Fast Coast ports at midnight Wednesday. The appeal to President Eisenhower was the first major labor dispute dumped into his lap since he took office.

In Washington it was reported he has no apparent disposition to ask for the injunction.

Joseph R. McCarthy and! pretty Jean Kerr, his one-time research assistant, exchanged mar-: riage vows Tuesday in a glittering ceremony before the gemencrusted i high altar of St.

Matthew's Cathedral. Some 2.000 dignitaries, including Vice President and Mrs Richard M. Nixon, attended the high society wedding. Some 3,500 other persons by police to be a record milled outside the high domed edifice. The Rev.

William J. Await, the officiating priest, announced at the end of the 35-minute service that Pope Pius XII had bestowed apostolic blessings on McCarthy, a lifelong Catholic, and his bride who only recently was converted from Protestantism. Eisenhower Busy President and Mrs, Eisenhower busy entertaining Panama's President and Mrs. Jose Antonio Remon. did not attend.

But White House spokesman said Mr. Eisenhower sent a personal letter of congratula-; tions and good wishes to the Wisconsin Republican. Flashlight bulbs popped and movie cameras whirred almost in the faces of the happy senator and his radiant bride as knelt at the altar before Father Await. The priest was garbed in gold, scarlet and white vestments. When the 43-year-old McCarthy placed a narrow platinum band on his finger, he ended his years as one of the Senate's con-i firmed bachelors, leaving the Senate with only four members who never have married.

The religious ceremony climaxed a romance that began five years ago when Miss Kerr joined McCarthy's office staff. Although Miss Kerr has been the frequent companion in Washington society, friends said they had quarrels and she returned his engagement ring on several occasions. As the couple pushed their way to a waiting Cadillac limousine after the ceremony, several spectators yelled, "kiss her. Joe." But the senator did not kiss his bride either in the cathedral or on the steps outside. A Cadillac Coupe de Ville, purchased by a group of Texas admirers, will be awaiting the couple when they return.

Businessman Ross Riggers said in Houston that the model chosen by Miss Kerr not be delivered oh such short either in pink or red could notice. EBQsofr piA gives TIGHT FIT TO OID PLATES irsn Federation of Labor union of the same name chartered to replace the ILA. The AFL revoked the ILA charter on charges of corruption. In a telegram to Mr. Eisenhower, John Lyon, chairman of the shipping association, said the strike "will imperil the national health and safety." The President power to ask for an injunction against strikes which endanger the nation.

(oxt Runs High The commerce and industry association of New York said the cost of a strike "might run to as high as 11 5 million a day." The fight between the AFL and the ILA complicated the situation and made the dispute potentially the most dangerous labor fight in years. Hundreds of policemen already were patrolling the New York waterfront to avoid fights between or- ganizerr for the new AFL union and ILA leaders. If the ILA called a strike and the members of the new AFL union continued to work hell might break loose," observers said.
