Mr.. Small drove them to a
neighborhood church where the
woman was advised to go to a
Brooklyn childrens home. The
cabbie drove the pair there.
But at the Brooklyn home
Mrs. Grimm was denied admis-
sion for the child, because she
wished to leave her only one day.
She was directed to the Chill
dren's Center in Manhattan.
That was where brother Cliffie
was staying, and where police
men had been stationed just in
case Diane should be taken
there. Mrs. Grimm decided
against going there, accepting
Mr.. Small'S suggestion that his
mother would care for the child.
Then the cabbie drove Mrs.
Grimm to Manhattan to get her
clothes from a railroad station
locker. On the way, she asked
him to buy a newspaper.
Hacker Questions Woman.
a New York newspapers have
been playing up the search story
since little Cliffie was found at
the Zoo. Mr.. Small read the
story, compared Mrs. Grimm
and the baby with a description
of the wanted persons and found
the result added up.
Questioning Mrs. Grimm. he
elected an admission from her,
and telephoned police.
The woman and children dis
appeared from the Bradford
home late Friday. Mr.. Bradford
told police how he had met Mrs.
Grimm, whom he knew only as
Barbara" at a restaurant where
he had taken Cliff Friday after
noon. The adults had some
drinks and talked.
Learning of Mrs. Grimm'S
fondness for children, Mr.. Brad
ford suggested she go home with
him to see little Diane.
Wife Was Angry.
Mr.. Bradford said Mrs. Brad
ford was not happy to see him
bring another woman to the
apartment. There were words
and Mr.. Bradford suggested TAX
ing his wife out for a drink, he
told police.
When they returned IS or 20
minutes later, the woman and
children were gone, Mr.. Brad

Dissatisfied Senators Recall
Wilson for More Questioning

lishment has 5 million uniformed
and civilian personnel.
He did express the opinion the
United States now has more
long range bombers than Soviet
Russia and said there were in
dications the Russian were con-
centrating on fighter planes and
defensive craft.
II think our people can take
some comfort in that" he COM
mented.
Cuts in Future Funds.
Mr.. Wilson said the cuts he
was ordering in Air Force funds
applied to money that would be
spent in future years. He said
his objective was to reduce pro-
duction time on planes being
built now and paid for with
money appropriated in the past.
Thus, he asserted, the immedi-
ate result should be to build up
the air arm faster.
He described the 143-wing
program a "paper goal" and
added it was thought the 100
wings could be reached.
It was brought out that Gen.
Hoyt S. Vandenberg, the retir-
ing Air Force Chief of staff, did
not approve the cutback.
Would Improve Output.
Mr.. Wilson said his first OBJ
jective was to get "the bugs out
of production" Of aircraft and
Mr.. Kyes added that their vast
industrial experience wouldn't
be worth a nickel" if they
couldn't improve it.
Chairman Ferguson. Repub-
lican, Of Michigan, asked
whether any manufacture of
planes was being reduced.
There is nothing in our cur
rent planning that cuts out new
modern planes we can get within
reason" was the reply.
Mr.. Kyes said transports.
trainers, helicopters and some
other types" would be cut back.
Mr.. Wilson said it took an
astonishing" number Of men on
the ground to keep one plane
in the air.
Observers saw the opening of
hearings as the forerunner Of a
long series in which Senators
and House members will sharp
ly question the advisability of
the Air Force cuts.
The two defense chiefs were
adamant in their statements the
reductions would not hurt COM
bat effectiveness.

LONDON. May 20.-The Brit

Minister Churchill that he will

with approving editorials.

Carthy-Attlee outburst after all.
It added:

Foreign Office Denies
Soviet;
Other Sources. Insist
BY the Associofed Press

LONDON, May 20.-The For
eign Office denied today a report
that Prime Minister Churchill is
in informal touch with the Rus
slams with the aim of arranging q
Big Three conference. But re-
sponsible British informants who
gave out the story yesterday sale
their information was accurate
and added: Events will prove
the report correct"
A spokesman told reporters al
the Foreign Offices daily news
conference that yesterdays re-
port was untrue. II am autho-
rized to deny It," he said.
The report said American lead
ers were being kept Informed OF
the BritiSh-RuSSian contacts.
RepercusSion Feared.
In diplomatic circles some
concern was expressed that the
story might tend to damage Brit
ish-American relations by i'm
plying that Mr.. Churchill was
acting on his own initiative and
not consulting the United States
before each of the purported in
formal contacts.
The sources who gave out the
story yesterday said Mr.. Church.
ills ideas of a Big Three con-
ference have met with Russian
approval.
If there is no sharp change
in the international situation,
these informants said, the Rus
slams are expected in the next
three weeks or so to propose
that Premier Georgi N. Malen-
kov, President Eisenhower and
Churchill get together at some
point between Moscow and
Washington.
Potsdam was the site of the
last such Big Three meeting, in
1945.
State Department Not Informed.
In Washington the State
Department press Office said it
had no knowledge of any in
formal contact by Mr.. Church.
i'll with the Soviet government
looking toward a Big Three
meeting.
Gn fact. officials said. the
United States was not particu-
larly interested in a meeting
among only the leaders of
Britain, the United States and
Russia. This implied that
France and possibly other
friendly nations should have
some role or representation in
any such talks.
president Eisenhower has
said repeatedly that he was
prepared at any time to meet
the Soviets half way in efforts
for peace, but also has indi-
Gated that in the case of con-
ference of top leaders there
should first be reasonable evi-
dence of sincerity on all sides
and good prospects of accom-
plishment.)
U. S. Cool Last Week.
American reaction was cool
when Mr.. Churchill called in the
House of Commons last week for
a conference of the leading world
powers without great delay to
ease world tension. The Briton
cautioned against aiming for a
settlement of everything in "a
single stroke"
The Anglo-Soviet discussion
was said to have taken place
through normal channels with
out any written exchanges. The
discussion has apparently more
than half convinced British policy
makers that Russian policy has
really changed since Joseph
Stain died March 5.

MOSCOW, May 2O.-Soviet
newspapers said today foreign
ministers of the four Scandina-
Wan countries have discussed
the question of supporting Brit

proposal for a big-power con-

The newspaper Trud, organ of

the discussion to the Norwegian

Norwegian newspapers to the
effect that the foreign ministers
are considering the course of
truce talks in Korea because of
rising dissatisfaction with United

1t is good news to Malylanders,

But he said that a prospective pro-
ducer would not invest in well
unless he was assured better pro-
lection against too many wells.
The protection desired here is
called well spacing. The number of
wells is limited, the owners of the
land being paid in accordance with
the ratio between their respective
holdings and the area Of the de-
post to be tapped. The decisions
here would be based on the findings
and regulations of the State De-
partment of Geology, Mines and
Water Resources.
DR.. Singewald claims that if
there had been better spacing of
the Garrett county wells there
would have been (D better and in
creased production, GU fewer wells
with correspondingly lower total
investment, and CD a far more
equitable distribution of royalties
to the property owners.
With the bill proposed two years
ago, and with the one now before
the Legislature, there would be as
surance that dry holes and aban-
doned wells would be plugged or
sealed. According to DR.. Singewald
unplugged wells are already caus-
