Hotel Man Grabs Suspect;
Many Keys Found in Room
BY the Associoted Press

BALTIMORE, Mar. 81. "A
desk clerk pounced on a hotel
burglar as he stepped off an ele-
vator here last night and police
said a check of his room turned
up keys from hotels in several
other cities.
: He was booked as Harry E.
McVicker, Ct, alias Harry E.
Miller, a native of Alum Bank,
Pa. Police records showed he
was released last July from
Pennsylvania'S Eastern Peniten-
tiary after serving a 16-year term
for hotel burglary.
DR.. and Mrs. P. H. Landers Of
Binghamton, N. Y, told police
they found a man in their ninth
floor room at the Southern Hotel
ransacking their luggage. He
fled down a corridor and DR..
Landers called the desk.
Robert England, on duty at
the desk, ran to the elevators
and collared McVicker when he
stepped off an elevator that had
stopped at the eighth floor.
Police 1t. Harry Walsh said
search of McVicker's room in
another hotel turned up master
keys which would open almost
any hotel room in the country.
1t. Walsh said he also found
1912 in quarters, wrist watches
and a gold ring inscribed To
the most wonderful thing that
ever happened to me-"
The State attorneys Office
said burglary charges against
him were being drawn up for
presentation to the grand jury
later today.

Army intelligence expert credit
ed here with the cloak-and-
dagger work in kidnapping a Rus
nian MIG-15 fighter plane from
the Polish Air Force, says the
Russians have grounded Polish
flyers.
Col. Amoss also said yesterday
that the Russians have stopped
shipping modern weapons of war
to the Polish armed forces.
He made his remarks in a
speech before the English

ing off formation with another
aircraft and landing on the
Danish island of Bornholm.
About a week later, two Mary
landers said they had been
secretly working on the plan to
get a Russian fighter plane for
several months.
One of them, former Gov. Will
liam Preston Lane, jr., described
Col. AmoSs as the brains behind
the kidnapping scheme.
The Danish Foreign Office
quoted Mr.. Jarewski as saying
he made the flight on his own
initiative without the aid of
Western allies.

Court Frees TWoM Men,
But They're Seized
On Earlier Charues

Two men were freed in one
case yesterday in Hyattsville Po-
lice Court and then arrested
again before they could leave
the building.
One was turned over to Dis
trict police. The other, who has
escaped from Prince Georges
police twice. was returned to
jail to await trial for stealing
truck which police said he used
in one of his getaways.
The men are Jack Edward
Reese, 26, of Baltimore, and Riv-
erdale, Md, and Theodore Gray,
27, of the 37OO block of Thirty
fourth street, Mount Rainier.
Not Enough Evidence.
Yesterdays hearing was on
charges of attempted breaking
and entering at a Riverdale
home. Trial Magistrate Theo-
dore L. Miazga decided the evi-
dence wasn't enough to hold
them for the grand jury.
But while Reese was in Jail
waiting for yesterdays hearing,
his bondsman withdrew the
$1,000 bail on the truck theft
charge. So Reese is back in jail
now.
And Gray was taken to the
District on a separate warrant
accusing him of assault. He was
to appear in court in Washing
ton today.
Escapes Are Brief.
Reese first escaped from county
police in January. He leaped
from a window in the Hyatts-
vile detective Office while being
questioned. That's when he is
supposed to have stolen a truck.
He was recaptured a few hours
later in Washington.
Earlier this week, out on bail
in the truck case, he was picked
up again on the breaking and
entering charge. He got away
again but was retaken in about
an hour.
Reese claimed police arranged
for the bondsman to turn him in
although they knew his family
needs him now. Reese's younger
brother was one of four boys
who drowned on a Chesapeake
Bay fishing trip Tuesday.

D. {. Appropriations
Committee Leader
Still Undetermined

The head Of the District Sub
committee Of the revamped SEN
ate Appropriations Committee
still was undetermined last
night.
The choice, however, seemed
to have narrowed down to one
Of three new Republican COM
mittee members.
They are Senator Mundt of
South Dakota. Senator Smith of
Maine >and Senator Dworshak
of Idaho.
A fourth new Republican
member of the funds group,
Senator Dirksen of Illinois, was
not interested in the District
craftsmanship, one Of his agents
said. because of his long service
on District affairs when he was
a member of the House.
Senator Hunt may have the
first chance, because he holds
ninth majority party rank on
the Appropriations Committee.
But he could be chairman
either Of the Legislative SUBJ
committee or that on District
budgets. He said yesterday he
did not know which he would
request.
If he bypasses the District
supply bill, the offer then would
go to Mrs. Smith. She said she
did not know how it would work
out.
Should she pass the job that
usually is referred to as a
District headache" the place
then would be open to Senator
Dworshak. He served in that
capacity when he was in the
Senate, in the Republican 80th
Congress. Mr.. Dworshak also
served earlier in the House as
q member Of the District
Appropriations Subcommittee
