 All Spain knows the United Ma tions conference meant the Spanish regime and it is generally agreed where men meet to talk that some thing must be done, and quickly, if Spain becomes a member of the World Security organization.

Stearns, the reported madman Jeff early Wednesday morning, without breakfast. He became very excited when MT. Stearns made a telephone call, shouting Don't call the police don't call the police" He launched an attack on Stearns, who broke loose then succeeded in calming his visitor sufficiently to convince the latter that he should go to Thane.
 The two started out on the trail, but Tony" soon turned back to the Stearns cabin. MT. Stearns again got him out of the house, but Irony" then took up mattock to force an entry through the door. MT. Stearns was only able to chase him away at the point of gun.
 The mystery madman" was last seen, again by MT. Stearns, on Wednesday noon, when ne was re- ported on the beach near the Stearns property, barefoot and dressed only in underwear.
 On receiving MT. Stearns' re- port of the matter Wednesday forenoon, Deputy Marshal Sid Thompson went to the scene. He found the mans shoes on the trail near Stearns' home and his mack inaw on the back porch of a neigh boring house, but no other trace.
 Yesterday, Marshals officers again went to Dupont, aboard Henry Museth's boat accompanied by a Coast Guard vessel. Deputy Marshal Walter Hellan, with Coast Guardsman, searched the trail again but found no fresh tracks beyond the Stearns cabin. The trail showed no marks of bare feet The deputies did, however, find a hat said to belong to the alleged madman and package of on the trail.
 Deputies were to go to the area again today with an enlarged search party.
 It is thought that the man, wan dering in the open without cloth ing, likely has succumbed to ex- posture. No Identification was found in any of the clothing dis covered. Employment offices, union groups and steamship offices have been checked seeking clue to the wanderers identity. It is consid- cred likely that he may have taken a room in Juneau prior to com mencing his eccentric wanderings.
