Marshall 10 Reject
Russian Protests on
'Warships, Air Base
BY the Associated Press

Secretary of State Marshall has
decided to reject two Russian pro-
tests against United States Air Force
and naval activity in the Mediter-
ranean. ~s
A formal note so advising Moscow
will be ready early next week, the
State Department says.
The Soviet Union has complained
about Air Force plans to reopen a
wartime air field in Libya and visits
by American warships to Italian
ports. The Russians claim these
moves violate the peace treaty with
italy.
A State Department official said
the American view Is:
/. Britain is occupying the former
Italian colony of Libya until there
is final decision onfits status. Brit
aims permission to use the field is
all this country needs under the
treaty.
2. The custom of warships calling
at ports of friendly foreign coun-
tries with their permission is CEN
turtles old. The United States has
Italy's permission, so the treaty Is
not even involved.

w. E. Reynolds bought large tract
for Federal Office building con-
struction. Structures subsequently
were erected on the land for the
Census Bureau and the Navy Hy-
geographic Office. The house re-
manned and was used as an annex
by the latter.
When relinquished by the Navy,
the house was offered for rent, since
no further construction was in early
prospect which would require its
razing.
1t is a two-story- resi-
dence. The first floor consists of
living room, dining room, break

Probe kidnapping

A Veterans Administration law
yer's report that he and his wife
had been kidnapped for more than
two hours Sunday night was in the
hands of Alexandria police today.
Inspector Russell Hawes said,
however, that records in the case
reported by Don Gray, At, of 1927
South Taylor street, Arlington, were
incomplete, and that the only angle
the police were investigating was a
statement that the two "kidnapers"
impersonated Alexandria policemen.
The police quoted Mr.. and Mrs.
Gray as saying they were forced to
a curb while driving in Alexandria,
that Mrs. Gray was ordered to ride
with one of the men but refused,
and the men threatened to kill
the couple. Mr.. Gray said he and
his wife later were forced out of
their car and driven to lonely
street.
Eventually, he said. the pair
changed their plans about killing
them and accompanied them home
Mr.. Gray said he invited the men
into his apartment to have coffee
so he could find out more about
them. He said the men had been
drinking.
