Ike Appointment Of Warren Believed Certain
Washington—(U.P.)—President Elsenhower has decided on Gov. Earl Warren of California to be Chief Justice of the United States, high administration sources said today.
These sources said Mr. Eisenhower is expected to make the announcement tomorrow, probably at his news conference.
They said Mr. Eisenhower decided to make a recess appointment so the Supreme court can be at full strength when it convenes next Monday for the 1953-54 term. Warren would succeed Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson who died Sept. 8 of a heart attack.
The formal nomination will be sent to the Senate in January after Congress convenes.
Warren would be the 14th Chief Justice of the United States. He would become the second Republican to be appointed as a Supreme Court Associate, Justice, Harold H. Burton.
At the White House, Press Secretary James C. Hagerty was asked whether Mr. Eisenhower will announce the court appointment at his news conference tomorrow.
DOING ALMOST 10 KNOTS—A brisk breeze on Lone Star lake fills the sail as Fred Six, law student, and his sister Sally, college junior, gather relief from the current scorcher.
Since Vinson's death, Warren has been the forerunner in speculation for the highest judicial post in the nation.
"When we have appointments to announce,we will announce them,' Hagerty said.
Final details of the Warren appointment apparently were worked out Sunday in a secret three-hour meeting between the governor and Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr., at Sacramento, Calif. Brownell reported to Mr. Eisenhower yesterday on his conference with Warren, who had announced Sept. 3 that he would not seek reelection after his term as governor expires in January, 1955.
Mr. Eisenhower was understoor to have decided to fill the Supreme Court vacancy before the new term of the tribunal because of the important issues it must decide. The new term involves the constitutionality of racial segregation in public schools.

Kidnaped Boy's Father Expects Contact Soon
Kansas City—(U.P.)—The grief-stricken millionaire father of a kidnapped 6-year-old boy asked newsmen, photographers, and television cameramen to leave his premises today "because we think they are trying to make contact."
Robert C. Greenlease appeared near collapse when he called off plans for a television and news in-house, the lawn of his sumptuous house.
"All I want is my boy back," he said in a tear-rugged voice.
The automobile dealer's sor
Bobby, was kidnapped yesterday.
Greenlease would not say anything to substantiate his belief the kidnaper might be trying to contact the family.
The press, radio, and television coverage complied with Gremlenase's request.
As far as public mention was concerned, Greenlease and his prostrate wife had heard nothing from the stocky, red-haired woman who took Bobby from the fashionable Catholic school, the French institute of Notre Dame de Sion, before noon yesterday.
Police Chief Bernard Brannon, in personal charge of what admittedly was a limited investigation," said "we're treading lightly. We don't want the boy hurt. I haven't anything new to report."
The problems of orienting the more than a hundred foreign students at the University of Kansas are many.

Following a question - answer period, the foreign students will see the 25-minute KU movie, "Your University." ___

Shirley Temple 'Expecting'
Hollywood —(UP) — Shirley Temple, former child film star, expects her third baby next March. Miss Temple, wife of Charles Black, said today the child was due in April, but would be delivered by caesarean section at the end of March.
Police activity, he said, was being carried on strictly to the extent permitted by the 71-year-old father and his 45-year-old wife.
Neither would authorities speculate on the possibility that the woman was a person who at least knew details of the Greenlease home life. He told her that he was the boy from the school told of her asking Bobby about his two dogs and a parrot. Police said the Greenleases own two dogs and a parrot.
There has been no indication, or police speculation, that the abduction was for ransom, despite the father's immense wealth. No word had been received from the woman since she and Bobby stepped out of a taxi yesterday and vanished in a late model Ford bearing Kansas license plates. The car has not been found.

A cold front sliding off the slopes of the Rocky mountains and a storm center moving out of Nebraska toward the Great Lakes signaled the end of the fall hot spell in most areas, at least by tomorrow.
However, gusts of warm air were blowing up the Ohio valley from the sizzling Southwest and promised to bring pleasantly warm weather to the Eastern states.
The storm center moving out of Nebraska was expected to lash the Lake Superior area with high winds tonight, and small craft warnings were flown in Michigan and Wisconsin.
Scattered showers were likely over Iowa and Minnesota.
Other records were set yesterday at Omaha, Neb. (100), all Iowa weather stations south of Des Moines, and Fort Worth, Tex. (103). Temperatures of more than 105 degrees were common in the Southwest.
A reading of 91.5 at Chicago broke three records and tied another. It was the hottest day the Windy City ever experienced this late in the year.
Other records were broken in such Midwest states as Indiana, and temperatures in the 90s were prevalent in Mississippi valley and central plains.
The East enjoyed comfortable September weather in the 60s and 70s.
Work Stopped In Meat Plants
Chicago — (U.R.) - Union leaders called 10,000 packhouse workers off their jobs here today and scheduled a strike vote in a big Minnesota packhouse in stepped-up efforts to win a $12\frac{1}{2}$-cent hourly wage increase.
The move came after brief, harrassing work stoppages were called yesterday in Iowa, Minnesota, Mississippi and New York state meat plants.
The CIO United Packinghouse Workers scheduled the half-day work stoppage here at Swift, Arnour and Wilson plants.
The union also said it would conduct a strike vote among 2,800 Swift workers at South St. Paul, one of one of yesterday's walkouts.
The AFL Amalgamated Meat Cutters union and the UPW have joined hands this year in an unprecedented agreement to act together in contract negotiations and to maintain the AFL. We have not joined the sporadic work stoppages that have hit the industry in recent weeks.
Both unions are negotiating here with members of the "Big Four" packers — Cudahy, Swift, Armour and Wilson—for the $123-cent package plus fringe benefits worth about 5 cents an hour.
A spokesman reported yesterday there has been "no real progress." The increase tempo of the work stoppages plus warnings last week by the leadership of both unions that a strike was "imminent" seemed to indicate that the unions may call a nationwide strike soon.
