orandum attacking the Air Forces

gram.
He gave this explanation a few
moments after Rear Admiral
Thomas d. Inglis, director OF
naval intelligence, had disputed
Mr.. Kimball's testimony before
the House Armed Services Com
mittee, and declared he had never
discussed the matter with Mr.
Kimball. He testified that nava,

Insane Prisoner Cuts
Bonds, Escapes From
Guards at Station Here
Wounded Veteran Hunted
In Northeast Part of City;
Still Wearing Hondcuffs

A 6-foot tall veteran of the
Canadian and American Armies in
World War II, described by police
as criminally insane. broke away
from his guards at Union Station
early today and was the object of
widespread police search in
Northeast Washington.
Donald c. Hausrath, ~, who has
a record of escapes from mental
institutions in Buffalo, N. Y, and
Phoenix, AriZ., cut himself loose
from his. leather restraining belt
apparently with a razor blade.
Police said he was still wearing
leather handouts when he es-
capped.
Hausrath was described by po-
lice as a victim of chronic in
sanity because of shell fragments
in his head. He was wounded
with the Canadians in 1941 and
later transferred to the American
Army.
Was Permitted to Shave.
Police said Hausrath was being
returned to Buffalo from Florida
in custody of two guards when the
train pulled into Union Station
shortly before am. today. The
guards, c. c. Clark, assistant
superintendent of the, Florida
State Hospital at Chattahoochee
and Hospital Patrolman Rods
monaghan, said they permitted
Hausrath to shave himself with a
safety razor and then started
through the station yards to look
for a restaurant.
The guards said they searched
Hausrath, checked his restraining
bonds and had begun to walk
Hausrath between them-when he
suddenly broke away and ran.
The leather belt fell to the ground
and obviously had been cut
through.
Policeman Monaghan ran after
the escaping man and chased him
all the way to Third and r streets
NE, where Hausrath ducked
through a wooden fence and van
ished down an alley. While pur-
suing Hausrath, Policeman Moo
neyham said he shouted to a
passerby to grab the fleeing man.
Yelled Warning to Bystander.
Hausrath yelled to the passerby,
according to the policeman. Don't
bother me or I'll cut you!"

Will GLADLY Accept
Nomination, He Says;
Hits 'Stutism' Trend

Senator John Foster Dulles an
nounced today that he would
gladly accept" the Republican
nomination to run for the Senate
in a special New York election in
November.
The announcement forecast q
spirited contest to fill the unex-
pired term of Democratic Senator
Robert F. Wagner. who resigned
because of i'll health. The term
ends January 8, 1851.
Former Gov. Herbert Lehman
announced last week that he will
accept the Democratic nomina-
ton if it is offered.
Both Senator Dulles and Mr..
Lehman are expected to obtain
the nominations without difficult
ties as they had been under pres
sure from party leaders to become
candidates.
Mr.. Lehman's decision to run
for the Senate came after long
consideration of a possible stum-
bling block to his candidacy that
developed during the controversy
over Federal aid to education.
Defended Mrs. Roosevelt.
1t came when he vigorously de-
Tended Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt
against charges of intolerance
made by Francis Cardinal SPELL
man over her opposition to Fed
eral aid for parochial schools.
However, Mr.. Lehman said in
entering the senatorial race that
II have confidence that voters Of
the Catholic faith will approach
their political duties in exactly
the same spirit of good citizenship
as those of the Protestant and
Jewish faiths"
Senator Dulles, who is serving
until December by appointment
of Gov. Dewey of New York, an
nounced his decision at a news
conference this morning.
GAS is known" he said in q
statement, II had not expected
to become a candidate for fur
ther term in the United States
Senate.
81 would greatly prefer that
another carried that responsible
ity. However. I do not see how
our free society can survive If
those who have deep convictions
reject the opportunity to carry
these convictions into public life.
"Would Gladly Accept"
Therefore, if the State Repub-
ilcan Convention, knowing my
views, should nominate me, I
would gladly accept and respond
to the best of my ability"
Gov. Dewey, in a statement is
sued at Albany, said:
IT am sure the people of New
York will thrill to the news that
Senator Dulles has consented to
become a candidate for continued
service in the United States Sen
ate. This is a unique opportunity
to elect to the Senate one Of the
great statesmen of the world"
In New York Mr.. Lehman said
he had no comment on Senator
Dulles announcement.
Senator Dulles said he pre-
sumed he will not be reappointed
as an American representative to
the United Nations in view Of his
decision to make the senatorial
race. New appointments are made
for each meeting of the General
Assembly.
In his prepared statement today.
Senator Dulles reaffirmed his de-
votion to bipartisan handling OF

couraged cooperation between the
parties in the Far East, notably

policy-makers met here today to
try to work out cooperative meth
DDS for rescuing Great Britain
from an economic crisis threaten
ing Western progress in the cold
war.
The critical financial talks began
shortly after noon at the State
Department following official ex-
pressions of confidence that the
results would be helpful and
constructive" in meeting problems
perplexing the free world.
The immediate problem facing
the Western leaders gathered for
the talks here is Britain's grueling
dollar shortage, but Secretary OF
the Treasury Snyder put the con-
ference on a much broader basis
at the outset.
Talks Seen Constructive.
Mr.. Snyder, heading the Ameri-
can delegation. said he felt that
in the current discussions I'VE can
find some ground on which to
work out the problems that are
facing us today, not only in the
United Kingdom, Canada and
the United States, but in the
world as a whole
He added that he believes
"these conversations can be most
helpful and constructive to all of
us. .-4
British Foreign Secretary Bevin
also said the conference here is
aimed at making one more con-
tribution in the solution of the
worlds problems" coming as the
inevitable aftermath of two
world wars"
Mr.. Bevin added:
1--WE have to be patient, we have
to toll hard, we have to work away
until we are quite sure we have
laid the correct foundations for
the peace OF the world"
The British Foreign Secretary
said the three powers must char
monize all our political, our flnan-
cial and economic actions so that
at least when we hand over we
can say we are leaving the world
safer for those who come after"
Canadian Finance Minister
Douglas c. Abbott said he felt like
Mr.. Snyder, that "these discus
sions will result in our finding
some helpful way" of meeting the
difficulties facing the conference.
Speak for Newsreels.
The American, British and
Canadian leaders expressed these
views in talking into news reel
microphones Immediately before
going into their first official session
behind the closed doors of a fifth
floor conference room at the State
Department. The session, sched-
uled to begin at noon, was delayed
Is minutes while the leaders of
the delegations of the three powers
posed for news reel and press
photographers.
Mr.. Bevin and Chancellor of the
Exchequer, Sir Stafford Cripps
head the British delegation.
Secretary of State Acheson and
ECA Administrator Paul Hoffman
are serving with Mr.. Snyder as
leaders of the American delega-
ton.
Canada is represented by Min
ister of External Affairs Lester B.
Pearson in addition to Mr.. Abbott.
Mr.. Bevin appeared greatly i'm
pressed by the interest of the
photographers. While they were
busy making pictures, he re-
marked to Mr.. Snyder that he
"never thought a man with an
overdraft would get such a won
derful welcome"
At another point, when a pho
tographer asked Mr.. Bevin to
move closer to Mr.. Snyder he
chuckled and said ST am going
to keep very close to him for the
next five days."

rived at Union Station shortly

Funny Stuff?
Honest Cal Coolidge

president Calvin Coolidge was
scrupulously exact in money
matters. When he returned to pri-
vate life, in 1929, he accepted an
offer to write a series of articles
for a national magazine. When he
submitted the last one, he included
an article written by his wife.
The editor paid for Mrs. Cool
idge's article at the usual rate,
but did not pRint it, A few days
later, Coolidge invited the editor
to breakfast
II see you didn't print my wife
article" he said.
"Pm sorry" apologized the ed
itor. eve couldn't manage the
space"
I'm that case" said Coolidge,
opening his wallet, 1--WE can't keep
this check"
Despite the others protests, he
insisted upon returning it. A mo-
ment later, the I waiter handed
Coolidge the breakfast check. He
glanced at it, then showed it to
the editor.
"a $780," he said. "You owe me
