E. 4 THE MARION STAR, MARION, OHIO PAGE TUESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1957 Boy, 7, Of Search in Indiana Town National Guard Joins Hunt; Child Missing Since Late Saturday BRAZIL, Ind. (P)-Police called on the Indiana National Guard and all citizens today to combine in a huge search for 7-year-old Billy Martin, missing since Saturday afternoon. Beginning at 8 a.m., with help from planes of the Civil Air Pa-, trol, the big group started its most determined hunt for the youngster, whom authorities fear may have met with foul play. There are numerous water-filled strip coal mine pits in this area.

Aunt Questioned Meanwhile Police Chief Joseph Russell said he will continue questioning Billy's aunt and her boy friend, following lie detector tests Monday--which he said showed "strong possibility" the two may know something about the boy's disappearance. Russell said he is "almost certain the boy met with foul play." The aunt's boy friend, a 53-yearold parttime guitar player named Harry A. Higgins, was being held in Clay County Jail on an investigations charge. Billy's aunt, Elizabeth Martin, 41, was released following the lie test at state police headquarters in Indianapolis. Higgins, who had been living at the Martin house the last two weeks since he lost his job as a Chicago coffee salesman, apparently the last person to see the boy.

He told police Billy nearly ran into the path of his car at about 4 p.m. Saturday, and he warned the youngster to go home. Part-Time Resident A resident of Brazil off and on for several years, Higgins often played his guitar at auctions and other public gatherings. Billy's father, William Martin, works in a pipe fabricating plant here. He joined the search Sunday when he returned from Indiana National Guard training at Camp McCoy, Wis.

Ship Sickness May Hold Up Boy's Arrival Some doubt was voiced today concerning the arrival here of the Finnish youth, Tom Simons, from Helsinki Wednesday as originally scheduled. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Mickley, with whom the boy is to reside, reported that they believed he was aboard the transatlantic liner, Arosa Sky, which docked early today in New York City with 50 of its passengers ill with influenza, possibly Asiatic flu.

Mr. Mickley said the ship answered the description of the one the young Finnish student was to take. It left Rotterdam several days ago with 647 exchange students aboard who were destined for the United States for study in 44 states. The Associated Press reported at noon today that 27 of the patients, mostly students, are being held for further observation. A spokesman for the American Field Service, sponsoring the students' study in this country, said 7 of the 27 being kept for observation had temperatures of 102 degrees or higher.

Mr. Mickley said that unless he received word from New York that Tom was among the 27 held due to illness, he and his wife plan to be on hand at the local bus station tomorrow afternoon, the time originally set for the boy's arrival here. The Finnish youth is to be senior at Harding High School. He is being sponsored through the field service by several local civic groups.
