Russia Offers
To Talk
. Over
'World Tension'
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29 (M—Soviet Russia today of
fered to talk over world tensions with the Big Three Western
powers at two separate' diplomatic conferences—provided
Communist China is also invited to one of them at least.
The State Department promptly denounced the Kreth
lin's offer as "evasive and a continuation of dilatory tactics"!
that have prevented earlier East-
West
meetings.
The Soviet proposal, set forth,
in a formal note, , ignored a pre
vious Western invitation for Rus
sia
to attend a foreign, ministers'
meeting at Lugano, Switzerland,
on Oct. 15.
The text of the 10-page note
was kept secret, for the time
being, by the British, French and
American foreign offices.
However, informed diplomats
in Moscow and Washington said
a preliminary study indicated
Russia ' proposed: •
1.. A meeting of representatives
of Russia, the United States, Brit
ain, France and Red China to
discuss "a lessening of tensions in
international relations."
2. 'A Big Four European confer
ence, presumably . tvithout‘ Com
munist China, •to tackle the dead
locked German problem plus "all
proposals introduced in the course
of preparing the conference."
Apparently no specific dates for
either meeting were proposed by
the Soviets.
Secretary of State Dulles began
conferences with Ambassa
dor. Charles E. Bohlen, who re
turned from Moscow )yesterday
for consultations, before discus
sing Russia's new note with Pres
ident Eisenhower.
The Soviet note, intended as a
reply to an American-B ritis h-
French message of Sept. 2,. ap
parently foreclosed any possi
bility the Big Four foreign min
isters could meet in Switzerland
on schedule to go over the Ger
man and Austrian issues.
Clue Arises
-1n Missouri
Kidnap Case
KANSAS•CITY, Sept. 29 (W)—
A meager clue, and intimations
the kidnappers of 6-year-old Bob
by Greenlease were .trying to
make contact, brought a faint bit
of hope today to frantic parents,
desperate for word of their miss
ing child.
The faint clue was word re
ceived by the Johnson County,
Kan., •sheriff's office that a child
answering the description of the
missing boy was seen in a pickup
truck yesterday, accompanied by
a man •and a woman. Bobby was
abducted about 11 a.m. yester
day.
Robert C. Greenlease, the fath
er, gave the intimation that a
contact with the kidnappers was
a possibility:
The Johnson Count y, Kan.,
sheriff's office said a truck driver
had reported seeing a child - an
swering Bobby's description in a
pickup truck with a man and
woman going west on 75th St.
near suburban Overland Park,
Kan., yesterday.
If the _child were Bobby it
would indicate that the kidnap
pers had crossed the Missouri-
Kansas state line.- , The .school
from which the boy was taken
is in Missouri.
Bobby 'was. taken 'from the
fashionable Notre Dame de Sion
School yesterday morning by a
woman who told a nun that the
boy's mother had suffered a heart
attack_ and that it, was necessary
to take him to 'the hospital.
A cab. driver told police the•
woman had him take her and the
child to a parking lot near the
school. There they left the cab
and entered a car with a Kansas
license. That is the last word
police have of them.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29 (W)—
President Eisenhower's first ap
pointment to the Supreme Court

the United States, succeeding the
late Fred M. Vinson.
The announcement could come
at Eisenhower's scheduled news
conference tomorrow. The ' way
was cleared today when Atty.

mal recommendation to the Pres

Bevan Tops Ticket
In Labor Elections
MARGATE, England, Sept. 29 (A')—Aneurin Bevan topped the
ticket in elections to the Labor party's policy-making National Exec
utive Committee today. His victory touched off fresh talk that the
American-baiting leftwinger may bid to take over the party leader
ship from moderate Clement Attlee.
Among 19 candidates for seven disputed seats on the committee,
Bevan headed the poll with 1,142,000 votes at the party's annual
conference. That is more tfian he
gained in winning a seat last
year, and only 149,000 votes short
of the absolute maximum under
the rules by which delegates cast
ballots representing the, member
ship of -their locals.
Five of his followers won, re
election with him to seats repre
senting. local party organizations.
However the Bevanites remain
heavily outnumbered on the cofh
mittee, made, up of representa
tives of the local organizations,
trade unions, cooperatives and a
women's branch.
There was a setback for Att
lee's moderates when Hugh
Gaitskell, chancellor of the ex
chequer in the former Labor gov
ernment failed to win a place,
At a closed session this after
noon, the delegates returned
Bev
an's rival, - Herbert . Morrison, to
the Executive Committee.
The delegates decided to grant
Morrison a seat ,as an ex-officio
member because of his position as
deputy leader of the party's
parliamentary delegation. That
brought the committee up to 28
members. Morrison did not make
a challenge in the field against
the Bevanites.

Hoover. Is arced
Commission Head
WASHINGTON, Sent. 29 ("1 3 )—Former President Herbert Hoover,
appearing robust at 79, today accepted a new public service—head
ing his second commission to reorganize the "appalling" maze of
federal agencies.
With President Eisenhower looking on, Hoover and 11 other
commission members took the oath of office at the White House.
Then, presiding at a three-hour
closed-door meeting, Hoover got
authority to set up nine "task
forces" of distinguished experts
to do reorganization spadework.
Later. he held a news conference.
Greater Authority Given
• A major goal, Hoover an
nounced, will be to eliminate, by
merger or otherwise, some of the
75 or 80 agencies which report
to the White House—to "get them
out of the President's hair."
Congress gave the new commis
sion of seven Republicans and
five Democrats greater authority
than the first Hoover commission
Which filed its report and rec
ommendations. in 19 volumes in
1949.
The 1949 report resulted in
adoption of 58 laws, 39 reorgani
zation plans and numerous ad
ministrative reforms. Today .Hoo
ver said the saving has been esti
mated—by others—at up to four
billion dollars a year.
He called the commission's next
meeting for Nov. 16 and set a
target date of Dec. 31, 1954. for
