 Detectives said they had learned from Mrs. Langford's former chauf- feur that he had driven his en- ployer and Lawton to Canada in 1S43 and on extended trips with other men. Mrs. Langford told po- lice the Canadian jaunt with Law ton was a concert tour.
 Barring scores of new clews as they trailed Mrs. Langford's "debtors" :; police learned that she had kept her marriage to Langford in l942 a secret from her aged father, Jo- seph Bell Mayer, who will some day leave her "a few millions"
 Mayer, she said, counseled against a second marriage, telling her that at her age she would only be mar ried for her money after the death of her first husband, Charles H. Grimes, attorney. Mayer lives five floors above her $377.50-a- month Hotel Marguery apartment.
 Throughout police examinations, Mrs. Langford defended her right to dole out money to struggling mu- cisians and touch" artists. Why not?' she asked, indignantly. Tt was my own money to do with as l desire. Are you going to question how I should spend my money and who I am to give it to?"

New York, June 8.-(UP)-Funer- al services will be held today for mysteriously murdered Albert E. Langford, 63, but the Park avenue heiresS who married him for con- panionship said she wouldn't attend.
 Mrs. Marion Grimes Langford, 70, ranking over police trespassing on her amazing private life, replied "Oh God no" when reporters asked her yesterday if she would attend the rites at a New York funeral home.
 Last night Reed Lawton, musical comedy baritone who police said got a lions share of Mrs. Lang ford's generosity, arrived from Chi cago. Lawton, Mrs. Langford and Army It. Alan Preston Foster, de- scribed as friend of the Langford family, were questioned until early today in the district attorneys of flee.
 Asst. Dist. Atty. Jacob Grumet questioned them, but disclosed noth- ing. Grumet had four account books in which Mrs. Langford listed the names of some 800 artists, singers, night club companions and others with whom she had shared her easy income of $50,OO0 year allowance from her father plus earnings on her own investments.
 Lawton was on the books for $5O,- 900 and police said the accounts showed payment of approximately the same amount to a prominent New York Cafe Society playboy whose name was not revealed.
 Behind Lawton's association with Mrs. Langford police found an "an- gel and artist" story. With the back ing of his patroness, Lawton sang his way from one night club to an- other, climbing the ladder of pres tige until finally Mrs. Langford agreed to build night club called The Vanity Fair-all for him.
 The deal fell through and Lawton fell out Witn Mrs. Langfo1d because, he said, she demanded too much

Restoration Of Lidice Planned
 As Memorial To Heroic Czechs
BY ROSELLEN CALLAHAN NEA Staff Correspondent

New York, June 8-Ten miles west of Prague there is field of crook ed furrows stretching as far as the eye can see. Nothing grows there. The charred and rubble-sifted earth was not plowed for good purpose. It was maliciously turned over by Nazi murderers to hide signs of one of the msot infamous barbar- isms in history-the burning of the tiny Czechoslovakian town of Lidice and the wholesome mass acre of its citizens.
 By this rapine act the NaZis sought to obliterate from the face of the earth a 600-year-old village wh:Ea bore the brunt of their rage over the death of their hangman, Reinhard Heydrich.
 Instead, June 10, 1942, will live forever in the memories of freedom loving peoples as symbol of NaZi terrorism. And rebuilt Lidice will serve as monument to remind gen. erations to come that if they value their freedom they must remain strong.
 NEW LIDICE
 The new Lidice - modern and scientifically planned-was designed at the Columbia School of Archi- lecture in New York under the di- rection of Dean Leopold Arnaud and Czechoslovak architect Robert Pod zemny. Work will soon begin to translate the model into produc- tive, bustling town.
 It will be built around Nation al Memorial Park. The 200-year- old St. Martins Church, which had been closed to worship by the Nazis long before they burned it down, will be rebuilt on its original site in the center of the park. A World Memorial, which will accommodate 60,000 people, is to be erected on hill dominating the whole area south of the park.
 Lidices citizens were mostly min CTS and farmers. So regional edu- cation center, including School of Mines and a School of Agriculture, with a cooperative experimental farm, has been planned north of the town.

 Then he headed the 18th Army group which battered its way across the Rhine River into Germany and thus became one of the top idols |sof the nations fighting men.
 Hines has been administrator of veterans affairs since 1923.
