Rewards Mount to $36,000 Hold New Suspect in Hunt for Slayer CHICAGO, (U.R)--Police arrested Frank Holland, 46, a dishwasher, early Thursday when they found him in an alley near where Suzanne Degnan, 6, -was kidnaped, slam and her dismembered body hidden in cesspools. Holland was arrested when he attempted to flee after police told him to halt. In his room, detectives found a newspaper from which a picture of the slain girl had been cut. Holland denied any connection with the caae. The arrest came as police attempted to ill a shiny new door key into the complex assortment of Sports Program Saved by Board An appropriation voted Wednesday by the county board of for purchase of a 107 acre farm of Wesley Adams, across from the county asylum north of the city, was vacated Thursday on the order of Board Chairman Vernon Gaspar who ruled the action was taken Illegally.

The board then voted to laj the motion over until Friday when It will reconvene. The county board Thursday unanimously voted approval of a county recreation program with a provision that there will be no appropriation of money until all municipalities are contacted and agree that if they go into the plan they will pay a proportionate share of the expenses. This was a reversal of Wednesday's decision when the board refused to listen to an outline of the proposal. Decision to reopen discussion of the recreational program was reached Thursday morning shortly after the county board convened for its second day. Supervisor" FJraJik F.

Kipp, North Prairie, who had voted for indefinite postponement Wednesday, moved to reconsider the matter. His motion was seconded by Supervisor Henry Bliss of Oconomowoc and adopted by voice without opposition. Supervisor Kenneth Hinz, Big Bend, with the second of Supervisor Richard Roberts, Delafield, then moved to amend the previous day's resolution to provide that no appropriation from the county be effective until the program had been explained to the town officials and their boards had agreed to accept a share of the cost. Chairman Vernon M. Gaspar pointed out that the resolution carried no appropriation but merely approved the idea of- a county rec- raational program and provided the mechanical means for launching such activities.

Discuss Dog Catching Following action on the recreation program, the board heard speeches by County Humane Agent Mrs. Jay Fruit. and H. J. Reise, director of the Lannon Humane society (animal shelter) on the operation of the shelter.

Supervisor Robert Dunlap asked that all visitors be excluded from the board room as the group went into a closed session to discuss the problem. Reise, appointed a state humane officer for Waukesha county in 1941, has submitted a request for $200 in funds for animal shelter. His original request was $600 but was whittled to $200 by the sheriff's department. The Lannon humane worker stated at the meeting, "I got a cat out of B. tree a short while back.

Let's see a woman get a cat out of a tree." Mrs. Fruit stated that the Waukesha Humane society had requested revocation of Reise's title as humane officer. The request, however, was not granted by the board. clues in the kidnap-murder. Investigators must find evidence sufficient to place charges against two janitor-suspects before 4 p.m.

Rewards of $36,000 Rewards for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the kidnap-slayer of six-year-old Suzanne Degnan totalled $36,000 today. The Chicago Times offered a reward of $15.000 and last night the Chicago Tribune offered $10,000. Previously Mayor Edward J. Kelly offered $5,000, the Chicago Herald- American $5,000 and two private citizens $500 each.

State's Attorney William J. Touhy announced that he did not have sufficient evidence "at this time" to seak an indictment of anyone now being held by police. Police were seeking a former em- ploye of a nursery near the Degnar, home who had been an inmate of a hospital for the insane. The search was started after Mrs. Margaret P.

Perry, the nursery school operator, identified a ladder which may have been used in the kidnap-slaying. She said she was sure it was one which was stolen some time ago from her home. It had been used by roofers working on the house. Discharge Employe At tho same time Mrs. Perry revealed she had discharged a male employe of the nursery about three years ago because he had questionable habits.

She said he once had been a mental patient at the Manteno, 111., state hospital but had been discharged as cured. Detective Sgt. Jack Hanrahan said the key unlocked the door to the laundry room of a northsltje apartment building where the little kidnap victim was cut to pieces by a maniacal killer who tried to rape her. The body was found in four parts in as many cesspools. Only the arms missing.

The key, Hanrahan said, was among 21 others in the possession of Desere Smet, 35-year-old former janitor of the building, e. stone's throw from the fashionable Edgewater Beach home where Suzanne was snatched from her bed Monday. Hanrahan said that Smet "has been cleared" by a lie detector test given last night but that he had ordered the man held pending outcome of his investigation of the key's origin and its implications in the bizarre slaying. Hunting Third Person Smet was described by police as an intimate of Hector Verburgh, 65, present custodian of the building where the dismemberment was said to have occurred.

Belgian Named UNO Assembly Chief in London United Nations assembly met for the first time Thursday, elected Belgian Foreign Minister Paul Henri-Spaak as its president, and heard a plea by Prime Minister Clement Attlee that it become the "overriding factor in the foreign policy" of the whole world. Henri-Spaak, once a power in the league of nations, defeated Norwegian Foreign Minister Trygve Lie for the first UNO assembly presidency by a vote of 28 to 23. The election of the Belgian was a defeat for Russia and the bloc of eastern Europe, which had sought to elect Lie by acclamation and avoid the secret balloting.

Nominations Unnecessary Although nominations were not necessary, since the rules called for secret balloting, the Soviet Union delegate, Andrei Gromyko, spoke 'in favor of Lie. Gromyko said the Norwegian delegate was a most appropriate candidate for the presidency, since Norway was one uf the first victims of Nazi aggression. Directly after the election, which followed the welcoming speech by Attlee, Henri-Spaak adjourned the assembly until tomorrow. The UNO assembly convened in central hall near Westminster Abbey in an atmosphere of hope and expectation. Attleo welcomed the delegates of the 51 united nations, and exhoVted them to their best effort to save 'civilization from the catastrophe made possible by the advent of such weapons as the atomic bomb.

The election of the president was the first actual business of the session. Henri-Spaak has spent most of his adult life in Belgian politics. His mother was Belgium's first woman senator. His father was a distinguished poet and director of the Brussels opera. Was Prime Minister Henri-Spaak is 47.

A barrister by profession, he was socialist deputy for Brussels in 1932. He held several posts, and was minister from May, 1938, until February, 1939. When war broke out he was foreign minister, and. when Belgium was invaded he came to London with the exile government. He was relief Belgian deleg'ate to the San Francisco conference and at the preparatory commission meeting here late last year.

Attlee welcomed a decision to remit the atomic control problem to the UNO but warned the assembly that the atom bomb invention was fraught with danger. "It is for the peoples of the world, through their representatives, to make their choice between life or death, he said. He outlined what he considered should be the "ultimate aim" of the UNO. "It is not just a negation of war," he said, "but the creation of s. world of purity and freedom, of a world which is governed by justice and moral law.

We desire to assert the pre-eminence of right over might, and general good against selfish and sectional aims." Attlee recalled the famous phrase of Maxim Litvinoff, former Soviet foreign commissar, in the dying days of the league of is indivisible."
