HE CONTINUED TO
 DENY KIDNAPPING

New York, Nov 23--(UP)-Jos- eph A. Vance, Al, sat up all night at West 30th street police station protesting to disinterested officers that he did not kidnap Jackie Britt, g, but had merely taken him on an outing. In Atlantic City, Mrs Anna Britt, insisted that Vance Kidnapped her child. Vance will be arraigned today on warrant charging him with being a fugitive from justice. Jackie, snatchet. away from his holiday by detec- tives and lodged at a children's home, protested just as violently as Vance.
 Vance lives at a small hotel operated by Mrs Britt and the child calls him Uncle Joe." Yesterday Vanve got $100 unexpectedly and proposed an airplane ride to New York. At his instruction, Jackie left note for his mother saying where he was going. When Mrs Britt re- turned home, she notified police, charging a Kidnapping. Four hours later, a telegram arrived reporting Jackie's safe arrival in New York, which Vance had the child sel.d. Police traced the telegram to a hotel where Vance and the child were taken into custody.

Beetles Carriers of
 Elm Tree Disease
Survey of State Shows Many Infested Trees in Nanga-
 tuck VaIIey-One Positive Case Found

Although only one elm in Con- necticut outside of Fairfield coun- ty has been found with Dutch elm disease, thousands of trees are in poor condition, the state survey of elns, handed to Governor Cross last week reveals. The survey was con- ducted under the direction of George P. Clinton, botanist, Walter 1O. Filley, forester, and w. E. Brit ton, entomologist of the Connec- ticut agricultural experiment sta- ton. It covered the entire state ex- elusive of the section of Fairfield county where the federal office for Dutch elm disease is at work.
 1t was not possible to examine every one of the millions of elms in the state in the short season before the leaves began to turn and fall, the report states. Tree climb CTS, men familiar with Dutch elm disease, went out from the New Haven station in parties of two. They inspected about 90,OOO trees. Of these 1877 were examined as possible Dutch elm cases and sam- pies were taken. Cross-sections of ~ lW1k6 SuOWS0 tAAC OAVWA OAoSOA- oration characteristic of the dis ease and these speciments were sent to the New Haven station for laboratory culture. Only one tree, growing in Old Lyme, was confirm ed with the disease.
 The significance of this single case, however, is tremendous, ac- cording to tree specialists. It oc- CUTS many miles away from Fair field county, heretofore the north erfl and eastern limit of the dis ease. None of the Euripean elm bark beetles, believed to be car- riers of the disease, were present. Instead, a native beetle, Hylurgopi- nus, infested the bark. When plac- ed in a test tube with twigs of a. healthy elm, these beetles imme- diately bored into the bark. Later a culture taken from the twigs showed Dutch elm disease, suggest ing that this American beetle is al- so a carrier.
 Trees Tagged
 The scouts further report that all ailing trees were tagged for further observation. Fifty-two were badly infested with the elm bark beetle and were dead or dy- ing. Maps were made farking sec tions of the state where elms were in good, fair or poor condition. Trees in poor condition were found in the towns of Fairfield, New Milyford, Derby, Ansonia. Seymour, Beacon Falls, Naugatuck, Guilford, Bristol, East Windsor, Vernon, He- bron, Colchester, East Haddam, Woodstock, Waterford and Led- yard.
 A report on the survey has been presented to the state committee on Dutch elm disease as well as to Governor Cross.

BISHOP MUELLER
 BACKTRACKED

Berlin, Nov 2s-tU.P.) .)-Reich- bishop Ludwig Mueller to-day abandoned his efforts as Nazi head of the Evangelical church to en- force total standardization upon it. He issued two decrees which aI1- nulled earlier ones by which auton- omy of the Prussian church was cancelled. Teh cancellation was se- verely criticized by opposition churchmen as unconstitutional. By restoring autonomy to the Prussian church the Reichbishop warded off further legal attacks. which he feared might bring an unfavorable court decision.
 The restoration of autonomy to the Prussian church means that the Reichbishop recognizes the tra- ditional state church structure and renounces, for the time at least, the idea of total standardization. He retains the leadership, however; of the Prussian as well as the Reich church.
