Answering what he termed 'ques-
tions frequently asked about the
minimum rates." Van Hecke said
rates above the minimum may not
be brought down as they are sta
bilized and not subject to change
either up or down.
Neither, he said, is there any
thing compulsory about these mini
mum rates-'they are yardsticks
for determining the merits Of vol
untary and disputed increases.
Rates below the minimum may
not be brought up without board
approval, except in cases of rates
up to Accents an hour unless they
are used as the basis for a price
increase.

made. it was said, so that he,
rather than the British Foreign
Secretary, could convey the view
point of the United States govern
ment on pending problems in which
Russia is particularly concerned.
These problems include opening
a new front in Europe to engage
at least go German divisions,
which the Russians have request
ed, the formulation of joint plan
for the unconditional surrender
of Germany and her treatment,
and possibly postwar territorial
settlements.
Welles said several days ago
that he had no plans for trip,
but Speaker said this could be ex-
planned by the fact that the visit
to Moscow was still in the ''pro-
posal stage"
Such a trip, Speaker said, was
considered desirable because OF
the Russians absence from the
Roosevelt Churchill conference and
a feeling that a clearer under
standing of policies should be
reached among the three United
Nations.
"Since the Russians obviously
want to avoid participation in any
discussion of strategy in the Pa
cific, because of their neutrality
toward Japan, and such strategy
figures inevitably in Anglo-Amer.
lean discussions, the answer seems
to be to carry the talks on the
European front alone to Moscow" "

MURDER OF GIRL
L. Apprehended AT Sum-
mer Camp Near Scene
OF The Crime

FISHKILL, N. Y, Aug. 14.-IH
A 1s-year-old boy camped from
New York city sat dejectedly to-
night under questioning by state
police who said he admitted crimi'
nalIy attacking and Staying a To-
year-old girl friend and tossing her
body into a cornfield.
State Police Captain Walter F.
Reilly, of Hawthorne Barracks,
said no charge had yet been placed
against the youth, apprehended at
. summer camp about mile and
half from the scene of the crime.
The battered body Of the victim,
pretty Elizabeth Voigt, daughter OF
an East Fishkill farmer, was found
by state police Sergeant George j.
Corsilla in a field bordering the
eastern states parkway. Parents OF
the child, who had left home yes
terday afternoon, notified state
police when she had failed to re-
turn this morning.
The* troopers, obtaining the de-
scripiton of boy with whom Eli
zabeth was reported to have been
seen strolling yesterday, went to
the camp and took the suspect IN
to- 1custody.
3Corsilla said the youth at first
adamant in denying he had been
with the girl, subsequently told po-
lice of bashing her head with
rock and criminally attacking her.
Admitting that he then had tossed
the body over barbed-wire fence
into the cornfieId, Corsilla asserted,
the youth readily led police to the
scene.
He told them, the sergeant a6-
ded, he had been at the camp a
month and had been acquainted
with the girl a couple of weeks.
