version of the diplomatic conver- sations between Foreign Commis- sar Maxim Litvinoff and British Ambassador Sir Esmond Ovey con- corning the fate of six English men now being tried for high crimes against the Russian state.
 The British had made public their version as & "white paper" The Soviet called theirs, q "red paper" and declared defiantly that i've won't trade our inde- pendence" for British good will and markets.
 ovey first called on Litvinoff March. 16, and demanded the un- conditional release of the six Eng lishmen, claiming their guilt was unproven, the red paper said. LitvlnoR said Ovey was "very ex- cited" Litvinoff regarded his de- mand as proposal to remove the Britons from Soviet Jurisdiction" He told Ovey that "the safety of the state is more important that considerations of any impression made abroad" He told the British ambassador he had to consider the impression that would be caused within the Soviet if it was learned that suspected saboteurs were re- leased because they were foreign CTS.
 May CoddIc U. s.
 London, April 17-(UP)-A de- sire to propitiate United States's opinion and avoid damaging the chances of recognition by Wash- ington was expected today to in- huence the Moscow court in It's verdict on the six Englishmen on trial there.
 Diplomats closely following the trial here, believe Thornton, Mac Donald and Monkhouse will receive severe sentences than Cushney and Nordwall, while Gregory will be acquitted. The Russian employees of the Metropolitan-Vicks Co. were expected to be treated more mildly than the state-employed native engineers, who may be sentenced to death.
 The formal procedure would be an appeal to the praesidium of the central executive committee, head ed by Michael Kalinin, which is empowered to commute the sent ences. However, it's action may depend on whether Britain i'm poses trade reprisals against Rus sia.
 The trade agreement between the two nations expired today and Britain Is making no more to re- place 1t.

 There is ample room for de- veloping a good sized playground, wading pools, tennis courts and q ball field for the smaller boys as well as q large diamond for the older players.
 The committee has secured the aid of the unemployed relief com mission for developing the play ground, cleaning out underbruSh, IcyeIing off courts and ball grounds and constructing a vehicle drive to enable cars to go up the slope to the picnic grounds on the higher levels.
 The committee plans to develop as much as will be possible with hand labor this spring and hopes officially to open and dedicate the park on the Fourth of July and have the community celebration held in the park on that day with a. community picnic and all activi- ties centered there.
 There are many attractive feat ures in this tract, chief among which Is the large white oak on the second levcI which measures fifteen feet in circumference and spreads its shadow over an area large enough to shade several tables, benches, rustic seats. etc. Higher up on the fourth level is a beautiful pine tree, which has sheltered many picnic party be- cause of It's near approach to a very fine spring situated on the border line between the Macauley and the Woods properties.
 The little pond which has been the means of giving many happy hours to the youth of this com munity in both summer and winter offers great possibilities for de- velopmcnt and the grove along the little stream flowing down from the pond can easily be made a place of joy for the small children with swings, sea a-saWs, sand-boxes, etc.
 Mayor Hayes has given assur- ance that supervision of the play ground can be secured from the unemployed commission, while that source of help is available, and that some equipment can be borrowed from the other play grounds of the city to enable q start here.
 The park committee and the Improvement association are eX- ceedingly grateful to John Macau- ley and to his family, Mrs Mildred l.. Mannel, Miss Gladys Macauley and Irving r. Macauley for their very generous offer or the use of this land for d period of four years without cost to the com munity.
 The committee hopes that before the expiration of that time 1t can prove the necessity of continuing It's use as q park and playground and that by that time some means may be found for the purchase of this very ilne piece of property, which for years has been Bunker HillB long hoped for dream.
 The park and playground com mittce consists of chairman, Mrs William r. Leggett, Mrs Edward F. Bradley and Capt. Frank C. Rogers with $. N.

 Conn Quota Called
 New Haven, Conn, April 17-(U. P.)--Mayors or first selectmen of Connecticut towns to-day received information from James W. Hook. chairman of tho state unemploy- ment commission, concerning re- forestation enrolment quotas, aud n request that they indicate at once if they wish to fill their respective quotas.
 If some towns do not wish to Ill quotas other towns will be permit ted to enroll additional men. En- rollment will be started shortly with unmarried men between IS and 25 only to be selected. There will be no registration of applicants and only those selected by welfare agencies will be called.
 Hook said all enrolled men must agree to permit the government to return to their families $25 a month of the $3O they will be paid. So far as possible Connecti- cut boys will be put to work in camps in the state. However, there are no national forests in the state and Hook said 1t was doubtful that enough work could be found for the states quota of 3,250. Those not placed in Connecticut camps probably will be sent to nearby New England forests. Hook said.

 Is in Despair

 In an interview with the United Press, Factor, his debonair features creased with anxiety, said he had received only one message from the kidnapers since Jerome, a student at Northwestern univer- sity, was seized last Wednesday night. He stoutly denied that q second ransom note" had been re- ceived.
 Police questioned a messenger boy who said he delivered 8 note to Factors Morrison hotel suite at midnight Saturday.
 The ransom demand, carefully penned on manila paper, was re- ceived by Factors mother at her Gold coast home Friday. News of the abduction was disclosed the next day.
 The ransom demand read:
 "Mr Jacob Factor: If you want your son Jerome home you will do as you arc told. Get $50,000 in old money and small denomina- tions. Have 1t ready on short notice. Do not notify police or we will send him home in pieces. Be sure to follow instructions on 6 minutes notice. Do you want your son or your money?"
 Shortly after he got the note. Factor received a phone call from Jerome. He pleaded that the ran- som be paid.
 Factor, who has felt persist ent pressure from police since col lapse of his enterprises in England. did not ask authorities to aid in the search. He was wary of un- derworld assistance but made one hurried trip to several hideouts In what was believed to be an attempt to contact the kidnapers.
 Despite reports of fabulous wealth, gained in rapid fire British and South African dealings. Factcr r argued that he could not "raise $50,000 In six months"
 Jerome, a slight studious youth, is the son of Factor by his first wife. the present Mrs Leonard Marcus. Jerome lived with Mrs He was abducted by four men in an automobile as he was bout 10 enter his home. He and a brother. Alvin, are beneficiaries in a $1,000.- 900 trust fund which Factor es- tablished several years ago.
 Years ago Factor obtained a $50,000 "stake" from the late Jack Legs Diamond. It was on this money that Factor started his Lon- don operations. buying q conser- vative financial paper which he converted into q confidential stock advice paper.
 Diamond was shot down py gangsters before the money was repaid and some observers thought the Kidnapping of Jerome might 1e linked with this debt.

WALLACE WAITS
WHEAT MEET

Announcement of the Govern
ment's wheat acreage reduction
program scheduled for today was
deferred by Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wallace until Friday or Sat-
urday.
This action was taken after re-
ceipt of advices indicating that
decisive action was in prospect
within the next 48 hours by the
world wheat conference at Lon
don. The tenor of these messages
is understood to have been so en-
couraging for world agreement
that Wallace and his advisers de-
cided to await developments.
This country already is COM
mitted to cooperate in any inter-
national agreement for curtail-
ment that may be agreed on.
Expectation that an agreement
would be reached was strength
ened with the announcement that
Premier Bennett of Canada plans
to sail from England on Friday.
Wallace felt it would be inoppor-
tune to commit this country to a
domestic plan so long as Bennett,
representing Americas chief COM
petitor, remains in London.

The year-old mystery Of the
missing swan at the Zoo is still
unsolved, but DR.. William Mann,
director of the Zoo, yesterday
thought he had not only recovered
his bird but had discovered a new
trait in the long-necked fowl.
Revival of the mystery which
followed the disappearance of one
of the swans from their cage
came about early yesterday when
M. Davis, the swan-keeper, found
a beautiful white bird with clipped
wings trying to "crash" the cage
where others Of his kind were
coyly Turing him on.
Accepting the bird as their
missing one, DR.. Mann and Davis
were both overjoyed and mystified
at his temperance.
Perhaps, DR.. Mann reasoned,
the bird had been stolen, and his
captor had yielded to his con-
science and returned him to his
mates in the night.
Davis, however, figured that
perhaps the swan had become
friendly with pigeons of the "hom-
ing" variety during his absence,
and thus had developed the in

river resort yesterday received
the most terrific Iashing it has
had in half a century. Without
warning a heavy wind and rain
storm broke at $3.50 a. m. The

that telephone and electric poles
were flattened, dozens of threes
blown into yards on houses and
into the streets of every section OF
