Adv A York resident was questioned by police there yesterday at the request of the authorities of Cleveland, in connection with the slaying of a woman in the latter city 14 years ago but was released when it was found that his description did not tally with the man wanted in Cleveland. The Yorker is Ernest Hansford, 140 Arch street, 67 years old. It is now believed in York that a mixup the reading of finger prints led the Cleveland police to the York ix)lice to apprehend the Ernest Hansford there. The man wanted Cleveland is said fo have the same name as that of the Yorker. Hansford was released after Police Chief Jere Sipe learned in a telephone conversation Cleveland Homicide Detective Arthur Willard that his description did not agree with that of the man sought by Cleveland police.

Willard, who investigated the 1934 slaying, requested release, Sipe iast night. The man wanted by Cleveland police had a false upper plate and a goiter operation scar. The York Hansford has his own teeth and no scar. The Cleveland man, too, was reported to have received a bullet wound in his chest. York police were unable to find on the York Hansford any scar that might have been left by such a wound.

Attempt to connect the York Hansford wfth the Cleveland murder was precipitated after his arrest in York early month for loitering on property of the Pennsylvania railroad- When arrested fingerprints were taken and forwarded to the Federal Bureau of Inve.stigation by Clyde Sweeney, warden of the York county jail. According to ihe FBI in turn forwarded prints to Cleveland peace officers as those of a man wanted in Cleveland 1934. Cleveland officers contacted Sweeney by telephone yesterday morning and asked whether Hansford still was in custody. Ine Ernest Hansford sought by Clevelana police is charged with the street-corner murder of Mrs. Edith Bennett Hooker and wounding of her male companion on Dec.

29. 1934. Notified by the Pennsylvania State police, Cleveland authorities asked that the York Hansford be apprehended. He was taken into custody yesterday afternoon by City detectives. Meanwhile Police Chief Jere Sipe, learned that a warrant for Hansford arrest was enroute to York by air-mail.

DIPLOMATS EVE CHINA CRISIS CLOSELY LAKE SUCCESS, DEC. 23. here are watching the Chinese crisis closely because of China important position as a permanent member of the United Security Council. Any change in government may lead to a revision of her foreign policy and that, in turn, may vitally affect the U.

N. It is assumed that if China comes under complete Communist domination, will align herself with Russia. This would represent the first significant change in the political lineup of the U. N. since its birth more than three years ago.

In the Security Council, the voting alignment would be 8 to 3 on most questions instead of the customary 9 to 12. There would be two permanent members of the council in the minority instead of one, and each has the veto power. Ru.ssia already Is able to thwart a majority decision by the and has done 29 she would have the moral advantage of having another big power join her in each future veto. At present Russia is supported in the council only by the Soviet Ukraine. The Soviet bloc also would gain an additional vote in every major organ of the U.
