Suspect in Car Theft
Battles Police, Claims
Mistake in Identity

Washington police said today they
are holding man they believe is
Clifford Wallace Miller, but who
insists he is Harvey Clarence Carl
son. %, as the one who walked out
of Maryland State Police Station
Yesterday leaving his wife and 3l2-
year-old twin sons behind.
Maryland police said Miller
walked out of the State Police bar
racks near Waterloo while they
we're investigating the status of a
car in which they found Miller
sitting on the Baltimore boulevard
near Elkridge.
En- route to the station, police
gave Mrs. Miller and the twins, who
were walking to a nearby diner, a
lift. With the four Millers in the
station. police began checking to
determine if the car they found
Miller in had been stolen. He said
it belonged to his family but he
couldn't produce registration card.
Car Listed as Stolen.
While police were radioing Wash
ington police, Miller walked out and
could not be found. Mrs. Miller
and the twins later were brought by
Maryland police to the District line
where Washington police picked
them up and took them to a
house in the 1900 block of Twelfth
street where Mrs. Miller said they
lived.
Washington police listed the car
in the case as stolen. and later
Detective Theodore Haage, who had
given Mrs Miller ride to the
Twelfth street house, returned to
see if he could pick up Miller Oc-
cupants of the house told him the
Millers did not live there.
After fruitless search of the
area for Miller police got a tip
that the family might be found at
house in the 300 block of Eighth
street NV. Police sent cruiser
to the front and another to the
rear of the latter address and
Miller, according to police, started
out a back window, but bobbed in
again when he saw the rear guard.

At police headquarters, Miller told
police he is Harvey Clarence Carlson

police he is Miller, they said. Fur

Let us try to place this above

Commenting on Mr.. Bevin's dec
laration yesterday, Mr.. Churchill OBJ
served that what said at Fulton
has now become the accepted policy
of the English speaking world"
Speaking at the Missouri college
town from a platform occupied by
President Truman March S, 1916, Mr..
Churchill asked for a virtual mill
ptary alliance between the United
States and Great Britain. He &C
fcused Russia of seeking indefinite
expansion of it's powers and doc
triries" and of placing all Europe
east of the tin-Trieste line be-
hind IAN iron curtain"
+ Mr.. Churchill advocated at Fulton
joint use all over the world of Amer
fican-British air and naval bases
and intimate" relationships be-
tween military experts of the two
nations. He "repulsed" the idea
that "a new war is inevitable" but
said nobody knows what Soviet
Russia and its Communist Interna-
tional organization intends to do in
the immediate future. or what are
the limits. if any, to their ex-
pansive and proselyting tendencies"

Mr.. Churchill drew laugh from

declared:
I'VE would be well advised to

as I propose to write that history
myself"

commitment on whether q military
alliance would be involved in Mr..
Bevin's consolidation proposal. A
spokesman told news conference
that definite proposals, drafted after
consultations with France, have been
submitted to Belgium, the Neither
LANDS and Luxembourg. and that
the Belgians and Dutch had replied
the proposals are being studied.
Asked if the Scandinavian coun-
tries, Italy and Portugal would be
approached with similar proposals,
the spokesman replied that "as yet"
nothing has been done in that
direction.
In Rome, Foreign Minister Carlo
Sforza said Italy will be happy to
