Tl SEPTEMBER 27, 1949 Single Copy, Five Clues in Joanne Lynn Murder Case Lead Law Officers into Dead Ends 14-State Alarm for Gray Sedan Dropped By Sheriff McColl HEMLOCK, (AP) State police and the Livingston county sheriff's office said today they were running into dead ends their search for the slayer of 11-year-old Joanne Lynn.

Authorities said a trail of stolen automobiles seemed to be petering out as a clue. They said the cars may have been abandoned by a teenage boy and girl not connected with the case. Sheriff H.

(AP Wirephoto) of 'Tokyo Rose' Still in Hands oi Jury Solon Believes Russ Unable to Stockpile Bombs WASHINGTON, (AP) Senator O'Mahoney (D-Wyo) said today every sign indicates Russia doesn nave me industrial know-how or facilities to stockpile atomic bombs. O'Mahoney, who led one congressional group in the drive to tighten the secrecy around American atomic developments, told a reporter he didn't agree with Senator Hickenlooper (R- lowa) that iriformation leaks may have speeded Soviet efforts to fire an A-bomb.

"The basic scientific information has been no secret," the Wyoming senator said. It's the industrial know-how of making the bombs that is important. Technique Lacking "The Russians just don't have the technical abilities nor the facilities to stockpile bombs. Just look at their attempts to produce automobiles. They are far behind and this certainly is a much more complicated matter than producing automobiles." Hickenlooper told the Senate yesterday that "loose security policies" by the atomic energy commission had "permitted vital information to filter out of this country." "I have no doubt that they have helped step up Russia's time table for the production of an atomic explosion by a very substantial period of time," he declared.

Dulles Hangs 'Swindle'Tag on U.S. School Aid OGDENSBURG. (AP) Senator John Dulles hung a tag of "swindle" today on proposed federal aid io education and said the plan would give Washington the power to control the thinking and beliefs of the people. The Republican candidate for election to the Senate seat he holds through appointment by Governor Dewey said New York state would get back only 25 cents of every dollar it paid to the federal government under the proposed program. On the second day of a four- day cross-roads campaign swing of northern New York, Dulles struck anew at President Truman's domestic policies and said that former Gov.

Herbert H. Lehman, his Democratic-Liberal opponent, had swallowed the Truman program "hook. line and sinker." Claims Deceit Dulles came here from Watertown where last night he accused the Truman administration of deceiving the people. He said it tells them only "what they will get" and does not mention the cost in taxes and what he called the loss in personal liberty. "I want everybody to know where I stand on every issue," Dulles asserted.

"Let's have an honest deal and an honest election. I have no ambition to be in the Senate under false impressions. Critical Senate Weighs Cabinet Salary Boosts Military Pay Gets Approval Monday By Upper House WASHINGTON, (AP) The; Senate, having agreed to raises in military pay. turned more critically today to President I Truman's idea of boosting salaries for top federal executives. A House-passed bill increas ing the pay of cabinet members and other upperbracket of ficials is the next major legislation on the Senate schedule.

It is listed for action late in the day. It follows in the wake of Senate passage by voice vote laie yesterday of a bill giving pay raises to members of the armed forces in almost every grade at a cost of about 5300,000,000 annually.

Raises in the Senate bill range from about $5 a month for recruits with five I months service to $300 and up I for generals with over 30 years i service.

Much more controversy has developed over the executive pay bill, for which Mr. Truman made another plea yester- Strike Deadlines Involving Million Workers Loom Kardelje Accuses Russia SAN FRANCISCO, (AP)--The fate of Iva Toguri D'Aquino, charged with treason as the "Tokyo Rose" of wartime Radio Tokyo, is still in the hands of the jury today.

(AP) Britain 's four-year-old Labor government faced its most crucial parlia mentary test today in House of Commons debate on devaluation of the pound. Prime Minister Attlee staked his government's life on the outcome of a vote of confidence to be taken at the end of the three-day emergency debate. Government leaders concerned about the possibility openly hostile to price rises resulting from currency devaluation, might desert the government on the critical vote.

Undersecretary of St a James E. Webb was the firts witness called before the House foreign affairs committee as it started hearings on the administration bill embodying the heart of the program. Republicans in the main viewed the world-aid nature of the plan with skepticism, particularly in the light of Russia's recently announced atomic ex plosion. Martin Differs House Republican Leader Mar tin, of Massachusetts, took the position that U.S. security is more important now than "charitable and benevolent deeds." "As a precautionary measure," he told reporters.

"we should suspend new spending until we find out what we need for defense against the atom." On the other hand.
