Youth Held in Girl
 Butcheriing

Chicago, June @-(UP)-StateS s Attorney William Tuohy said early today that he twas convinced" that William Heirens, IT, husky Untver- sity of Chicago student, is the kid- nap-slayer of six-year-old Suzanne Degnan.
 Tuohy said, however, that he did not have enough evidence as yet to present the case to grand jury.
 T am satisfied that he is the man at the present moment" Tuohy said T have not yet deduced enough evidence to bring this case before the grand jury and convict him beyond reasonable doubt" Find Nine Points /
 Tuohy said fingerprint experts had found nine points of similar ity' between Heirens' prints and those found on the $2O,000 ransom note after Suzanne Degnan was ab- ducted from her home last Jan T.
 Nine points of fingerprint sirni- larity, Tuohy said. are considered by experts as proof.
 Tuohy said Heirens, arrested Wednesday in an attempted rob- bery, had offered no alibi. He said the youth had given neither a de- nial nor an admission of guilt.
 Police, however, said Heirens had fejgned irrationality and had made statements damaging to himself. They quoted him as saying, "Yes, I killed her." and in the next breath making a conflicting statement. Detectives Work In Relays
 Police said they did not regard these statements as a confession. i .Tuoty issued his statement to re- porterS at the States Attorneys office after Heirens, held in custody at the Bridewell (City JaiD Hos pital, had been questioned for more than 10 hours.
 The questioning was conducted hour after hour by detectives work ing in relays. Police said at in- tervals the youth feigned a coma and fell back in bed.

Life Saved
 In Mid-Air

Kansas City, Mo-, June 29- (UP)-Mrs. Gladys Mae Wright, ate off the mantle today be- cause she used a woman's per- ogative to change her mind. But she was alive as a result.
 Mrs. Wright, Versallese, Mo, jumped off a 1O0-foot bridge over the Missouri River last night because T was lonely"
 She changed her mind in mid-air. She wriggled her 118 pounds to a sitting position. That's the way she hit-or spanked-the water.
 A strong swimmer, she made the 100 yards to shore, where a riVerbank resident saw her.
 All Mrs. Wright wanted was a glass of water.
 Physicians at General Hospi- tai said Mrs. Wright was suf- fering in only one spot as a result of her leap. They assured her that time was great healer.
 Mrs. Wright said she was lonely without her husband, a soldier stationed in New Jersey.
 After eight or nine cocktails I decided I'd jump in the river" she said.
 "As I was going down, de- cided this was all durn foolish ness. certainly wouldn't try it again.
 For one thing, it came close to messing up my permanent.

Bowles strongly recommended that the President veto the bill. Prompt acceptance of Bowles. res- ignation, however, left little doubt that the President intended to &C., cept the weekend bill as the best that could be obtained.
 Bill Passes 2-t0-1
 Announcement of Bowles' resig- nation was made by the White House shortly after the Senate voted its approval of the contro- versial measure, Al to g.
 As the present price law expires at midnight Sunday, Administra- tion leaders believed the President has no alternative to signing the measure which paves the way for widespread price increases on many commodities. The bill would ex- tend limited price controls for an- other year. .-,
 Should the President veto the bill Congress then would have to decide whether to extend the pres ent law by simple resolution or let all controls expire.
 There were reports that the Presi- dent would announce his unwilling approval of the limited bill in a radio address, possibly tomorrow.
 Porter May Remain
 Although Bowles gave up com mand of the stabilization program, there was no indication that O.P.A. Chief Paul Porter would immedi- ately follow suit. Porters aides pointed out that he is "staunch Administration supporter" and that he has made no statement which would neceSsitate his resignation.
 Bowles, on the other hand, had left himself no alternative. He had publicly characterized the O.P.A. bill as "an inflationary booby trap and had promised to quit if 1t were approved by Congress,
 Bowles letter, prepared before the Senate voted, said that Ad- miniStration of the bill would be flatly impossible" He said it would simply serve to legalize imitation. ''
 Thousands of substantial price increases would be inevitable" he wrote. "The cost of living would climb rapidly. Black markets would multiply. There would be serious delays in production with the like lihood of a general breakdown in administration

MosIe Shows State Black Market Wild
 Refutes Crute's
 Calm Statement
 On IIIeqoI Sales

Hartford, June 29- UP The black market is running rampant in Connecticut, State Food Admin istrator Henry B. MoSle said today.
 Mosle declared that most meat. poultry and bread originated in H. legal channels. His statement fol- lowed by few days speech made by State OPA Administrator Stan ley J. Crute who denied existence of substantial black market.
 eve are in the most critical po- sition that we have ever been in," Mosle said, "a position which can lead US to utter price chaos and inflation." He expressed doubts about the new OPA bill which he claimed lis not worded cleary enough for me to tell whether or not 1t will provide more stringent restrictions on the black market or better distribution of available food stocks"
 I The administrator pointed out that black marketing does not al- ways consist of secretly selling regu- lated goods at higher than ceiling prices. There are many less ob- viously illegal ways in which the black market profits are made on meat sales" he explained, such as the inclusion of more bone and the misrepresentation of meat as to cut. There are also numerous ways of putting the housewife on the spot by handing her an order of meat already wrapped with price on it and telling her she can either pay the asked-for price or seek meat elsewhere"
 The majority of meat dealers in Connecticut shouldn't be classified as black marketeers, said Mosle, who claimed that some black mar ket meat is being sold at ceiling prices at profit. He explained that much of the meat coming into the state results from trading and bar ter in which black market profits are made. This meat can be sold at OPA prices, he said, since the in- cured loss already has been offset by preliminary profits.

OPA Neors  Of Probe
 Final Results
 Of Investigation
 Due Next Week

Final results of the investigation into alleged meat black markets in Waterbury as well as the contested discrepancy in the freight figures of the New Haven Railroad and those of the Waterbury packers as to meat supplies here are expected for pulp lication "the middle of next week.
 State O.P.A. officials today told The Waterbury Democrat that the investigation is now in the conclud- ing stage and an overall picture of our results should be available about the middle of next week."
 These same officials today em- phasized that their figures dealing with meat shipped into Waterbury, 240,000 pounds from June 6 to 19- relate to meat, generally, and not just beef.
 Packers Unchanged
 Local packing house representa- tives today still termed such fig ureS as exaggerated" adding that meat or beef, they are still far fetched"
 Railroad officials refuse to discuss the issue and have mo comment to make"
 Figures used by O.P.A. are those of the Waterbury branch freight of- flee of the New Haven Railroad al- legedly showing the amount of meat shipped by rail into Waterbury for the local packers. The latter con tend that their own actual freight receipts do not jibe with these sta tiStics used by the O.P.A.
 Stanley Crute, State OP.A. Ad- ministrator, yesterday declared that a thorough investigation of the al- legged discrepancy is under way both for the benefit of the consumers and the packers"
 Some SubpOenas Issued
 Concurrent with this investigation is that of the retail black market said to exist here. Subpoenas have already been issued some local meat retailers for violations dealing with over-chargeS and failure to comply with O.P.A. bookkeeping procedure.
 O.P.A. investigators are said to report that violations deal more with overcharges promised on a "get-rich-quick" desire rather than with actual sale of diverted, or black market, meat.
 The results of this investigation are expected to be included within the general report of next week.

Reformotory  New Inmates
 Cheshire Adopts
 Numerous Chongss
 Burdiek Reports

Segregation and classification of inmates on a scientific basis will be instituted at Cheshire Reforma- tory as one of numerous changes planned at the institution, Lester E. Burdick, member of the reform atorys Board of Directors, declared in a speech at Bridgeport last night.
 New inmates, he said, will be segregated by chronological and criminal ages, being interviewed by a classification committee as they begin their sentences. Each arrival will be given medical and psychiatric study to help deter mine disposition of his case. This system, said MT. Burdick, should replace what has been called a kindergarten of crime"
 Addressing the Exchange Club in Bridgeport, MT. Burdick said that these and other changes have been recommended by Dr. H. L. Palmer, superintendent of Elmira, N. Y, Re- formatory and a veteran penologist, following a survey made at the re- QuGSU Ol CIlc DOdTu OI LII CCOO1o. 44AC changes in system, said MT. Bur- dick, are designed to have the re- formatory realize its main purpose, that of rehabilitation.
 Saying that outmoded buildings have hampered progress at the re- formatory, MT. Burdick disclosed that plans call for a new gym nasium, establishment of cafeteria service, and erection of new build ings. The program of athletics and recreation will be greatly ex- banded.
 Analysis of the backgrounds of the 200 prisoners at Cheshire, showed that many were from brok- en homes, MT. Burdick related. Many, he said, had been children whose parents were separated by di- vorce, or both of whose parents were working, thereby allowing little home discipline. Others, he said, were youths who had been caught in the hysteria of war and had left school for war jobs.
 Appointment of new superin- tendent at the reformatory is to be made by the Board of Directors late this year. There are already numerous applicants for the 5000 8 year post.

not the pressure groups who today must be exulting in their victory.
 One party leader told this writer a few weeks ago that 'Bowles will get no nomination if he smells too bad by midsummer" Good pub licity work on the part of groups who support the Economic Stabilizer may now martyriEe the man as a victim of Toryism or some such and place him on a political pedestal as a-Hflan- of -the-people.
 Any candidacy of Bowles will be a hectic one on the campaign plat form, that much is assured. Not only his opponent but every candi- date on the Connecticut COP. State ticket will go after him for has past policies. National COP.

Court Rules Vet MoySeII Post Stamps
 Joseph Mortone
 Not Required
 To Have License

In a dicision which may have widespread effect throughout the State, Common Pleas Court Judge John T. Cullinan today ruled that postage stamps are among goods veterans of the State may vend without licenses.
 The ruling was made in mem orandum in which he found Joseph Martone, 36, of 253 Wolcott Street, not guilty of a charge of violating city ordinance by operating stamp vending machines without license.
 Martone was fined $50 in City Court April 10, and appealed to the higher court. He was represented by Attorney Irving D. Johnson in Common Pleas Court. A nolle had been offered before trial, but the accused refused it, claiming he was entitled to discharge.
 Pointing out that the License Exemption Statute, Section 676, lists certain exceptions, Judge Cullinan states that had the General As sembly desired to prohibit the vend- ing oi postage stamps without a municipal license it could easily have found necessary language to effectuate this intention
 The statute provides that veter- ans who have resided in the State for two years shall be exempt from local licenses for the privilege of buying, selling or vending goods, wares or merchandise within its limits It adds that lapel pins, buttons, small flags, and similar novelties shall not be construed as goods, wares, or merchandise"
 Referring to States claim that postage stamps were fin the nature of novelties" Judge Cullinan states. T think it is no answer to the problem to attempt to classify stamps as novelties" since that word connotes a new article of trade or a variety of goods different from the staple or ordinary kinds. "
 "The General Assembly in enact- ing the statute obviously intended to benefit resident veterans in the business of vending" the memor- andum states. By expressly men, tioning specific articles as being outside of the general class of goods, it is presumed. or a familiar prin- cipal of construction, to have ex- cluded all other exceptions"
 Judge Culinan states further Penal statutes are subject to rules of strict construction. "One cannot be found guilty of crime unless 1t falls within the fair im- port of the language of the stat ute"
 He concludes, T am satisfied that stamps are goods, wares, and mer- chandise' within Section 676th and that the accused is resident vet eran. Thus he is entitled to the protective feature of the statute and is under no duty to pay H. cense to the City of Waterbury for the privilege of vending postage stamps"

Wonts Peace Conference
 RepIyTodoy.
Threatens Treaty Making Separately From Russions

Paris, June 29 UP)- Forced into a showdown by Secretary of State James E. Byrnes, the Big 4" foreign ministers must decide today whether to call a 21-natio1l peace conference this Sum- mer.
 The decision may make or ruin this Big 4" meeting.
 Byrnes, exasperated by V. M. Molotov's stalling tactics, brought the sluggish Big 4" meeting to q critical point late yesterday. He served notice in irate tones that he would press for decision on the full-dress conference today.
 Issues Ultimatum
 T want decision on t tornor- row, one way or the other." Byrnes said.
 The four ministers arranged . plenary session at 4 P. M. (l1 A. M. EDT) to act on ByrneS' virtual ulti- matum. Britain and France agree with the United States that con- ference should be summoned in July.
 Couched in Byrnes' demand was the threat of a separate peace treaties by the western powers if Russia elings to her rejection of q 21-nation conference until the Big 4" reach complete agreement. At present they are at odds on Trieste and numerous other issues.
 The conclusion generally drawn from Molotov's tactics is that Rus sia does not want 8 peace confer ence this Summer. A heavy major ity of the 2l nations would be aligned with the Anglo-American views on most disputed points.
 Aware of Dangers
 ByrneS undoubtedly is aware cE the dangerous possibilities of separ- ate action by Russia and the west eFn powers. But he finally decided to force a climax in the situation that has been developing for two weeks.
 His barbed clash witl1 MOlotov came at the end of 356 hours of fruitless discussion and by-passing of Italian and Balkan treaty queSs tionE.
 Byrnes raised the peace confer ence issue. Molotov suggested they discuss it after completing discus sion of unsettled issues. The American leader replied they might never reach the conference question if they kept discussing and post poning all their disputes. Molotov suggested Sunday discussion.
 To this Byrnes remarked that Molobov earlier in the week had said 1t might be possible to reach agreement on the peace treaties this week. He recalled the minis ters' Sef-imposed Friday deadline.
 But they have violated this de- cision by not raising it." Molotov Said.
 Angrily Byrnes retorted. T raise 1t right now. The only reason I was willing to defer it until tomorrow is that I am serving notice today that I am going to insist on discussion of the peace conference tomorrow and want no misunderstanding"
 of course any member of the Council can speak any time he wants to, day or night" Molotov answered.

Sure to Enter State Politics
 Party Awaits Public Reaction to Bowles

leaders from Washington will be brought into the State to attack him. Yet 1t is just such tactics that might help Bowles to win. Tactics that might swing the people to- ward him as an individual as well as an O.P.A. policy maker.
 How much of 8 campaigner he would make cannot be determined. He is not a forceful speaker. He does not command. Yet he has ap- peal.
 There are still a few weeks as yet before party leaders will have to decide about the man. During that time public reaction may iden- tify itself and clairfy the situation once and for all.
