BY the A.see,o,.d Tres,

| LACROSSE, Wis, Oct. 26.-A
widespread search was on today
! for pretty 15-year-old high
school girl who vanished from
her baby sitting job Saturday
night and left behind the marks
OF an apparently bloody struggle.
The resources of the State
Crime Laboratory were thrown
into the hunt for Evelyn Hart
ley, daughter of a Lacrosse State
College professor. She disap-
peared from the Viggo Ras-
nusen home where she had been
staying with the Rasmusens' 20
rnonth-old baby. The infant
was found asleep and unharmed
in it's crib.
One of the girls shoes and her
glasses were found on the base
ment floor. Another shoe was
found upstairs. Police Chief
George Long said officers discov-
cred what are believed to be
bloodStainS on the outside of the
house. grounds, garage and the
wall of a nearby home.
Charles Wilson of Madison,
chief of the. State Crime Labora-
tory. arrived here yesterday.
Detective Capt. Leo kim said a
mobile crime laboratory would
be brought from Madison today.
More than 1000 friends, neigh
bors. police and Boy Scouts and
the Civil Air Patrol searched the
city and an area 80 miles around
it yesterday.
Evelyn's disappearance was
discovered by her father, Richard
Hartley. who told police he be-
came alarmed when his daugh-
ter failed to telephone home as
she usually did while baby sit
ting. Mr.. Hartley said he got
no answer when he tried to call
her. The Rasmusens were at
tending a football game.
Mr.. Hartley said he went to
the home, entered through a
basement window and found
signs of a struggle.
The home is in a new, sparsely
settled section of the city.

After watching the little rail-

anese felt that the western
world had things to teach them.

modore Perry-including the

A treaty was drawn up and
signed. The japanese agreed to
open a few ports to American

a small action, but it opened a
small amount of trade between
the United States and Japan.

but only in part, to the fact
that Townsend Harris was ac-
cused of using too much time

In today'S deal the defenders
could have defeated Mr.. Cham
pion's four heart contract by
two tricks. They could have won
two tricks in clubs and then
knocked out the ace of diamonds.
Later, when Mr.. Abel got in
with the king of spaces, his side
could have cashed two diamond
tricks.
But unfortunately Mrs. Keen
didn't relish leading away from
either of her minor suit kings.
She opened the nine of trumpS.
This gave Mr.. Champion time
to develop the hand but even so
he should have been down one.
He took the first trick in his own
hand with the ace of hearts. He
led a small heart to dummy'S
queen, Mr.. Abel diScarding the
eight of clubs.
Next came low spade from |
the board and Mr.. Abel was on |
the spot. He decided to win |
with the king. He returned the |
queen of diamonds but Mr..
Champion won with the ace.
caShed the jack of spades, |
entered dummy with a trump
and discarded his two losing
diamonds on the ace and queen
of spades. Thus he lost only one
spade and two clubs.
Mr.. Abel should have asked
himself why Mr.. Champion had
pulled a small spade out from
under the ace-queen. With two
worthless spaces the play would
have been to lead from the
closed hand and f1nesse the
queen.
Also, with three spades to the
Jack, Mr.. Champions best play
would have been to f1nesse the
queen of spades, then play the
ace. If the king of spades were
doubleton on his left he would
lose no tricks in the suit.
Now if he had the jack double
ton, the play would make some
sense. In that case Mr.. Abel
could win one spade by going in
with his king. But Mr.. Cham
pion would then take three
spades.
If Mr.. Abel ducked, he would
win no spades at all. But on
the other hand Mr.. Champion
could then win only two spades.
This defense would have beaten
the hand as Mr.. Champion
would have had to lose two clubs
and two diamonds eventually.

The bank would hold the
stocks in blocks, crediting

vival of plan for a real in

Other Reforms
Other U. NJ. reforms" which
have been discussed on both
sides of the Iron Curtain and
which probably will be studied
by the subcommittee are
these:
The basic q. N. purpose
should it be remade into q
sort Of world government
with more powers. or should
it be stripped Of some Of its
functions?
Relations between the q. N.
and regional organizations-
should 1t have more control
over such groups as NATO,
the Arab League and the Red
satellite defense system, or
should these special-interest
groupings bear the main bur-
den of world organization with
the q. N. q loose holding
company over them all?
Social, economic and hu-
manitarian activities-Should
the U. N. give up or extend
it's controversial work on
human rights?
Enforcement and settlements
Should the U. N. be given
the right to enforce settle
ments it reaches? No nation
now is bound by q q. N.
recommendation.
The veto question probably
will be the main bone Of con-
tention. A majority of those

strongly about its abuse by the

|4ir Subcommittee May Spark Battle Royal Over u. N

A significant development
In the closing days of the last
session of Congress may prove
to be the spark for a historic
battle royal among members
of the United Nations, with
Soviet Russia and her Satel-
lites in one corner and the
free countries of the West in
the other.
At issue will be revision Of
the q. N. Charter, as provided
in Article 100 of the Charter
itself. The fight probably will
center around a proposed curb
on the veto-used by the So
Wet Union Al times.
The veto was the overshad-
owing issue when the U. N.
Charter was drawn up at San
Francisco, and the shadow is
lengthening.
Speedy congressional action
on a resolution by Senator
Guy M. Gillette, Democrat, of
Iowa to establish a subcom-
mittee which will study and
weigh proposals for U. N.
Charter revision was the tip
off that Congress wants dras-
tic changes, particularly In
the veto provisions.
The work Of the subcommit-
tee, to be headed by Senate
Foreign Relations Chairman
Alexander Wiley, Wisconsin
Republican, will be in the
spirit of the original U. N.
Charter, which provides that
q proposal to hold q confer
ence for that purpose shall be
placed on the agenda Of (the
Tenth-1955-) session Of the
General Assembly. :" If q
review has not already been
held prior to that session.
Bipartisan Group
On the subcommittee with
Wiley will be Senators Fergu-
son. Knowland, Gillette,
Sparkman and Mansfield, all
members Of the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee. Two addi-
tionaI members-one Repubh-
can and one Democrat-will
be named from the Senate at
large by Vice President Nixon.
Touching on the subject Of
weaknesses Of the U. NJ" Sen
ator Wiley, now in New York
for the final session of the
Seventh General Assembly,
said: by and large, the
weaknesses stem from the un-
willingness of the individual
members to utilize properly the
machinery that is available.

was told in the q. MS forma-
tive days that the important
thing was to bring this coun-
try into the world organization
and that this could not be
done without retaining the
veto clause.
1.-THE Senate" Gillette said
he was told. would not ratify
a Charter that did not leave
the United States q free hand
to defend its interests as it
saw fit."
He continued, 1.-THE results
are obvious today. The U. N.
Security Council has been
road-hlocked since It's creation

Needs Big Five Unity
Gillette believes amendment
is not impossible. but he
points out that it requires a
two-thirds majority of the
Assembly and ratification by
two-thirds of U. N. member
ship. including all permanent
Council members, the so-called
big five.
The resolution establishing

the subcommittee was not
Gillette's first effort. He sub
mitted b similar one In the
Senate last January. urging
an immediate Charter re-
vision conference"
His proposal was labeled
premature" by the Depart
ment Of State.
Yet, almost a year ago in
London, an 1S-nation group
met unofficially for the same
purpose as that suggested by
the Iowa Senator. This group,
only yesterday, met again in
Copenhagen to perfect its
Charter revision proposals. The
conferences will last a week.
When the State Department
looked down it's nose at the
first Gillette proposal, 1t sug-
gested that the next two years
be used to assure adequate
consideration of this matter
by the American people and
the Government.
Gillette, taking the State
Department at its word, in
troduced the resolution Gre
ating the Charter Revision
subcommittee and called for
Evening star., 1953-08-23

a report by January 81, 1858.
Following the legislation's
passage, Chairman Wiley re-
quested the reaction Of the
State Department.
Secretary Dulles did not
comment on the congressional
action setting UP the subcom-
mittee, but did say that the
1855 charter revision would be
"a great opportunity" United
States policies on specific re-
forms, he said, must await
full public discussion of the
issues as well as consultations
with members Of Congress"
That. for the Senators, was q
go-ahead signal.
Constructive Criticism
Chairman Wiley, whose SUBJ
committee has been given
$4,000 to carry on, called the
review of the Charter and of
the work of the u. N. "our
first line of attack" and said
we must ferret out its weak
spots and then move ahead
to strengthen those weaknesses
wherever possible"
He expects to call the group
for its first meeting early in

Court gives the last word.
The circumstances surround

that the youth is charged with

and angry resolutions by
American Legion posts attack
ing the Air Force action.
AS the young airman await
ed court-martial, his sister,
Miss Audrey 10th, sought legal
assistance.
The lawyers charged viola
tion Of Toth's constitutional
rights in that he was held for
trial without indictment and
given no preliminary hearing
before an authorized magis-
trate. They sought q writ Of
habeaS corpus.
Such o writ would require
the Air Force to return the
prisoner here for appearance
before . Federal Judge at
which time the legality Of his
arrest would be determined
and an order issued either
freeing 10th or ruling that the
military had q right to court
martial him.
Writ Granted
In June, Judge Alexander
Holtzof Of the u. s. District
Court for the District of Co

doing so the Judge stated

installment plan for as little
as $40 to $50 a month. The
stock exchange objective. Of
course, is to broaden the base
of investment by tapping the
vast middle-clasS purchasing
power in this country. So far,
middle income groups have
been inactive in the stock mar
ket for lack of ready cash.

minimum investment will be

. Article 7-B reads in part:
ANY person authorized un-
der regulations governing the
armed forces to apprehend
persons subject to this code
or to trial hereunder, may
do so upon reasonable belief
that an offense has been COM
mitted and that the person
apprehended committed it,"
But while agreeing that the
military has the right to try
former Servicemen under GER
tain circumstances, Judge
Holtzoff held that there was
nothing in the law to author
ize the arrest and remoUGl Of
the suspect without q pre-
liminary hearing.
Therefore" Judge Holtzoff
said, when members of the
Military Police arrested the
petitioner (Toth) they had no
greater power Of arrest than
would q private citizen"
The judge said further that
the Federal Rules Of Criminal
Procedure require a person
making an arrest to take the
arrested person without un-
necessary delay before the
nearest -. officer empowered
to commit persons charged
with offenses against the laws
of the United States"
Judge Holtzoff pointed out
that the committing magis-
trate. a Federal judge or a
United States commissioner.
while required to conduct q
preliminary hearing. is not au-
thoriZed to "hold the accused
for trial by court-martial. He
may hold him for trial only in
q District court"
No Civil Jurisdiction
Since the murder Of which
10th Is accused did not occur
In any State or Territory Of
the United States, no Ameri-
can civil court would have
jurisdiction.
In his opinion. Judge Holt
zoff declared that Congress
had erred in omitting from the
uniform code machinery :.
whereby civilian can be ar
rested and removed to q dis
tant point for trial by court
martial"
He declared "the subject is
a very serious one. One Of
the foundation stones of our
Republic Is that the civil power
shall at all times be superior
to the military power"
The Government sought to
have the United States Court
Of Appeals for the District
cancel issuance Of the writ Of
habeas corpus.
The appellate tribunal, with
out going into detail, rejected
the Governments appeal. SUBJ
sequently the Air Force was
ordered to produce 10th for
further proceedings here on
September /.
Since Judge Holtzotf, who
probably will preside at the
September action, has already
stated his views, it Is consid-
cred unlikely that further
arguments will be heard at
