Heirens Re- Triple Slayings

Chicago. Aug. T-GUP)-A true bill naming William Heirens in his third staying reportedly was voted by the Cook County grand jury today while the l7-year-old killer slept peace fully on his cot in the county jail.
 The true bill named Heirens in the knife staying of Mrs. Josephine Ross, widowed housewife. It was to be returned later in the day in the form of an indictment before Chief Justice Harold Ward of the criminal court.
 In addition to the murder of Mrs. Ross, he confessed the killings of siX-year-old Suzanne Degnan and ex- WAVE. Frances Brown. He already had been indicted in the Degnan and Brown murders.
 There, he will wait for the courts to decide whether he lives or dies. He gave the confession to the states attorney, at the written re- quest of his heart-broken parents. in a bsd to escape the electric chair.
 The detailed statement contained many discrepancies HeirenS pre- tended to "blackout' when quizzed on many details of the slayings, and said there was a period when he was lin a dag" and could not remember the more vicious aspects of his attacks.
 Heireas had baked earlier at making a confession because he feared that once he gave the grue- some details, no defense -proSecu- tion "deal' or anything else could save him from the death penalty.
 The youth was able to give no motive for the killings, three of the most brutal in Chicago police history. He said he received mo satisfaction" from the slayings, but derived sexual gratification from the many burglaries he committed
 In four-hour statement yester- day afternoon to state authorities Heirens described in detail how he strangled and butchered six-year- old Suzanne -Degnan last Jan. T; how he stabbed and shot Frances Brown, a former WAVE. in her apartment last Dec. 10; and how he slashed and strangled Mrs. Go- sephine Ross, an attractive widow June 5, l945.
 Heirens, calm but obviously chastened after the exhaustive ses- sion, was led back to his jail cell at $50 A. M. EDT and States At torney William J. Tuohy said there would be no further questioning.

George Lynch Drop ps Out
 Of New Party
Good Government Leader Resigns; Completing Slate

George R. Lynch, president of the Washington Park Community Club, has resigned from the Tax payers Good Government Party, of which he was one of the incor- porators. In a letter of resignation sent to Chairman Anthony R. Martino, he said that affairs of the Washington Park club and of the Council of Community Clubs would keep him too busy to take part ln politics.
 Chairman Martino shrugged off MT. Lynch's resignation today and said the new party is continuing work on slate Of candidates to be chosen by the nominating com mittee at the YM.C.A. tomorrow night.
 Every man has a right to do what he sees fit,'' said the chair man. If MT. Lynch has decided to resign, that is his business Flanagan Favored
 As disclosed in The Democrat yes- terday, Taxpayers Good Government leaders have decided on John c. Cluney as their candidate for Con- gress.
 John Flanagan, insurance man, is regarded as the leading choice for the nomination for Judge Of Pro- bate, but other candidates are being considered. John w. Ring, former Socialist candidate for Mayor and Congressman, has been offered the Senatorial nomination in the 18th district.
 MT. Martino denied reports he will be the candidate for the State Sen- ate in the 18th District, saying that he will not be candidate for any office. Now being considered in that district, he said, is ball of fire" candidate. This man, said Chairman Martino, would sweep the election. 3
 John Burke, commander Of Le- roy-BarneS Post, Regular Veterans Association, announced today the Taxpayers Good Government Party has chosen him as one of the two candidates for State Representa- tive. Expect Endorsement MT. Martina declined to confirm this announcement, saying only that MT. Burke is one of several candidates under consideration. Another leading potential nominee, said the chairman, is Nicholas NoWie.
 The party chairman expects the Socialist Party, headed by Mayor Jasper McLevy, to endorse all the Taxpayers candidates, from Con- gressman on down. This would rive them two places on the voting ma chimes, once on the Socialist list and again on the new party'S list should enough nominating petitions be secured to gain legal recogni- | ton.

Byrnes pointed out that the rules commission already had approved a provision for the five former ene- my countries to state their views in accordance with conditions which will be laid down"
 The rules commission met this afternoon for a session in marked contrast with the knockdown dis pute of last night. A threat of an- other trying clash was averted by the withdrawal of a proposal de- signed to liberalize the voting pro- cedure on the treaty making conn., missions.
 The commission unanimously adopted a rule for voting in com missions which makes it possible for any minority in commission to present it's views to the conference and ask for decision there.
 Another rule. proposed by Byrnes, provided that none of the big five be allowed to serve as chairman of be allowed to hold more than two chairmanships.
 Byrnes, presenting his proposal for inviting the states for whom treaties are being considered, sug- gested that Aug. 10 bet set as the date for hearing them. He recom- mended that the hearing be before all 2l nations represented here, rather than the respective commits sion on which all nations are not represented.
 In the last analysis it will be the conference as whole which makes the recommendations to the Big Four in connection with the draft ing Of the final forms of the treat- ies. Byrnes observed.
 Andrei Vishinsky, the Soviet Unions No. delegate after V. M. Molotov, supported Byrnes on the proposal for hearing the former enemies. But he asked that provis- ion also be made for the possibility that they might be heard by the commissions dealing with their specific cases if such hearings were deemed advisable Byrnes agreed at once to amend his proposal to 1 that end.
 The makings of another bruising battle like that of yesterday and 1 last night were contained in a pro- posal intended to liberaize the vot- ing in the commissions. It was with drawn by Herbert V. Evatt of Aus tralia.
