NO HODGEPODGE TREATY
 WANTED

Some old-school diplomats have the idea that if Secretary Byrnes should return from Paris without a treaty, it would be a defeat TOT American diplomacy and a setback to world peace. On the contrary, it might be extremely healthy to end this Conference without a treaty, especially if that treaty is a hodgepodge which adds to the unrest of the world while simul- taneously lulling the American people to sleep.
 If Secretary Byrnes should de- mand here that Russia sign a treaty giving American, British and other members of the United Nations free access to the Rus sian people, it would be worth all

SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE

SITKA Alaska, Aug. 2.-United States Marshal Mahoney and the United States Commissioner refuse to make statement on the murder but 13-year-old Chris, breed son of Alex Didriokson, has been bound over to the grand jury for trial and will be flown to Juneau.
 In an interview with the Ward family this morning these facts were given:
 Chris was a next door playmate of Anna Marie. Anna left her home about o'clock without her coat. Chris came to the Ward door about 9 and asked for Anna, wanting to exchange funny books. When told Anna was not at home, he stated he'd just seen her going back to the house. The family was not over-anxious during the night, thinking Anna probably was sitting with neighbor's baby, and had forgotten to mention it.
 The family stated that during the inquest held yesterday morning Chris remained calm and told a straight forward tale of lies about his movements and didn't break down and admit the crime until forced to look at pictures taken Of the body He then admitted he murdered the child with a pair of bis mothers scissors which he then washed and returned, and carried the body less than 100 yards to Dog Creek, where it was found.
 He stated he did it because Anna called him a dirty Siwash.
 At the time Chris and three small half brothers and sisters were at home, but the mother was away, and his father is fishing. The family told the authorities that the child was dead by 8:30 o'clock.
 Didrickson was married to his present wife seven years ago Anna Marie's mother died seven years ago and she was raised by her father and half-sisters. The fath- CT, William Ward, City Supervisor, is very conscientious and greatly admired for the way he reared his children and wife's niece who are all a credit to him and the community. He adored his only daughter, who was petite and de- mure.
 Thirty-five stab wounds were found in the hody instead of IS, as previously reported. The body was found with the blouse still button ed, but pulled and twisted over her head. One arm was out of the undershirt.
 United States Attorney Patrick Gilmore, Jr., reported here today that 13-year-old Chris Didrickson has been bound over to face a grand jury on a charge of murder, by U. s. Commissioner w. w. Knight at Sitka.
 The lad is to be transferred to custody in Juneau by the U. s. Marshal.
 Gilmore stated that it is now uncertain when the case will be called to hearing as. under new Federal Court Rules, it is permiss- able for the youth voluntarily to waive indictment and be prosecut- ed directly in the District Court
