|Leary Admits Identity
To Hickey, Then Tells
How He Made Escape

Jaw, hell, don't remember half
that stuff about the waterbury
conspiracy, and don't remember
what happened to the money ex-
cept there were % men In on one
million dollars OF Il"
Thus Daniel ]. Leary, fugitive
comptroller, last night summed up
10 Police Comsr. Edward Hickey
his present attitude toward the sit-
uatlon which made him flee from
Waterbury five years ago rather
than face q i0-l5 year prison sem
tence.
TITS really been hell, Ed, he
said.
The world closed in on Daniel ]
Leary, fugitive former city comp
troller Of waterbury, last night In
grim Chicago police cell as he
faced state Police Commissioner
Edward ]. Hickey Of Connecticut
and with weighted words Of finality
admitted;
whats the user I'm Leary. I'll
admit I'm Leary."
Having fled Waterbury March g.
i04i to escape from a 1918 year
prison sentence he had successfully
lived In New York, Florida, other
states and finally settled down in
Chicago. He was identified Tuesday
In the latter city by q. Edward
Palmer, a former business associate
from Waterbury, who saw him
walking down the street.
Palmer was never any friend OF
mine, Leary grinlly told Commits
sloner Hickey.
This Identification was supported
by Deputy Sheriff John Tierney, a
boyhood chum of Leary, now a
house detective in Chicago, who APP
peared at hte Chicago jail yesterday
morning, looked at the man in Gus
tody who claimed he was James
Donovan" and said: That's Dan
Leary." Thus too, was marked
Daniel J. Leary's saith birthday.
The dramatic climax of 26 hour
detention Of a man held in custody
who insisted his name was "Dona-
van" came last night at 8 p. m: one
hour after Commissioner Hickey
faced him in the Chicago police
headquarters and said:
Hello Dan"
Gr0wls AZ Reporters
The suspect, smiling calmly, held
out his hand and said
Hello, friend. Let's talk this
thing over awhile"
He then denied he was Leary.
That's Mr.. Leary. and no mis-
take" Hickey insisted.
The state official then said:
What do you have to say to
these reporters?"
The man merely growled: "Tm
not saying a thing!"
Hickey then dismissed those pres
ent and sat with the man in little
room off the cell block. They talked
quietly and intimately for an hour

Vandenberg, a U. S. delegate to

in London, gave the Senate his
views ON UNO's achievements and
prospects yesterday with special
emphasis on this country's relations
with Russia.
The Senate chamber and the gal
leries, both well filled. burst into APP
plause when he finished his speech
Some Senators, like Raymond Willis
(R., Ind, and Kenneth S. Wherry,
tR., Neb), used 1t as a springboaro
for personal warnings against the
spread Of Russian power.
Aggression Gone Far
Willis said he didn't want to be
a pessimist but I'VE must face the
fact that Russian aggression has
advanced further today than Hit
ler's aggression had in 1882"
Wherry said he considered the
high spot of Vandenberg's speech to
be "a definite warning to the Amer
lean people that We must be mighty
frank with Russia and organize the
moral conscience Of the world to
fight against the spread Of CON-
munism."
IF we can do this within the UNO
framework, Wherry added, well
and good, but if we can't, then we've
got to do 1t anyway"
Internationalist Senators such as
Joseph H. Ball, (R.. MinnD, J. Will
liam Fulbright, 3D., Ark, and
Wayne L. Morse, CR., Ore), second
ed Vandenberg's call for a clear-cut,
specific statement of American aims.
Morse said the United States
should keep in mind tht there is "a
vital difference between reasonable
give.and-take compromises in inter-
national relations and an appease-
ment policy"
Il do not believe that making our
position unequivocally clear to Rus
STA on various UNO issues will
weaken that organization" he said,
but on the other hand l think it
will greatly strengthen it."
