BANK in peace OUTLOOK ON GRAN GHACO SUDDENLY DIMS Paraguay Blocks Signing of Armistice After Both Nations Had Agreed Celebrations Under Way on Both Sides When Riart Finds Objection BUENOS AIRES. June 12. ( Wednesday) (JP)-After a four -and one-half hour conference early today, representatives of Paraguay and Bolivia announc ed they had reached complete agreement on acceptance of the peace formula to terminate the prolonged Chaco war. The ac cord was expected to be signed at noon today. BUENOS AIRES, June 11. (P) -Paraguay at the last minute to night blocked the signing of a peace accord with Bolivia. Ljiis Riart, foreign minister of Paraguay, said the signing, sche duled for 11 p. m., was post poned because "a simple armis tice" is proposed, without guar antees, and it was necessary for him to consult his government. The hitch came unexpectedly, as Paraguay Sunday had approv ed the accord a few hours after it was announced here. Crowds had celebrated the prospective peace tonight in Asuncion. Riart's announcement dashed the hopes of mediators of five neutral nations, including the United States, who had worked tirelessly for two weeks. It came as preparations were being made for the chancellors to initial copies of the projected agreement prior to the formal ceremony. Celebrations were under way here as well as in Asuncion, with Bolivian and Paraguayan flags flying side by side from princi pal buildings.

The tight lipped federal agents were known to have followed what they believed was the warm trail of Mahan to Dillon, where he was partially identified as a man who asked H. E. Andrus, hotel keeper, for food or money last night and then fled when several guests entered the lobby. Andrus said the man resembled published pictures of Maban and that he believed the visitor in tended to hold up the hotel. From Dillon, 75 miles south west of here, the agents rushed to Anaconda over tortuous moun tain highways, but they gave no inkling of the motive for the hasty trip. Meanwhile two suspects were taken into custody but were lat er released and police and de partment of justice agents were kept busy denying reports that Mahan had been captured. Jere Murphy, veteran chief of police, denied published reports (not carried by the Associated Press) that his department had received a telephone call from Tacoma saying federal agents had captured Mahan in Montana and were returning him to Tacoma.

"I was busy at the counter and didn't get a chance to talk to him, but I'm positive it was Waley," said Pflager. "I couldn't forget that kid. "No, I can't say he looked or acted like a hardened criminal. He was dressed Just ordinary. If he had a car I didn't see it." BILL PAST SENATE WASHINGTON, June M.-iJPy-Harking back to work from the White House, the senate today passed the public utility holding company bill. It retained the controverted provision to cut holding compa nies' down to their very founda tionsa retention narrowly ob tained after Mr. Roosevelt's per sonal backing of the provision had been read to the senate. Although the provision was held in the bill by the margin of a single vote, 45 to 44, the final ballot on the measure itself sent it through on a 56 to 32 vote. Trouble harassed the efforts of administration leaders to send the midget NRA hill over the passage hurdle and late in the day they hastily procured recess until to morrow to back new onslaughts. The final move of the day came after Senator Gore (D-Okla.) ob tained a favorable vote on a rider to the measure to require senate confirmation of all fed eral office-holders receiving $4, 000 or more. , Swiftly, the administration lieutenants resorted to a recess move to block final approval of the rider. They had Intended pushing the bill to vote today, but considera tion of the utility bill ate away some of the senate time.

AGAINST THREE Waleys and Mahan Accused of Taking Weyerhaeuser Child Across Line Might Prevent Sentence of Death on Conviction; G Men are Silent TACOMA, Wash., June 11.-W) -The George Weyerhaeuser kid nap case took rank today with the Urschel case, the Bremer case and other "snatches" by "big shiot" gangs, when the Lindbergh law was similarly invoked against two "little shot Pacific nortk est ex-convicts and the wife of one of them. The complaints, filed by Thom as H. Tracy, special agent for the department of justice, accuse Wil liam Dainard, alias William Ma ham, sought in Montana, and Mr. and Mrs. Herman Mets Waley, held in Salt Lake City, with trans porting the nine-year old heir to the Weyerhaeuser Olnierests, across the Washington state line to Blanchard and Spirit Lake, Id aho, while he was being held for 2200,000 ransom. Earlier, J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the department of justice bu reau of investigation, had indicat ed that the case might be turned ovier to the county prosecutor, Harry H. Johnson, for trial under the new state kidnap law whieh carries the death penalty unless" the jury recommends leniency. Johnson commented that keeping the case in the federal courts was "all right" with him. Injury to Nerves, j Possible Argument The Lindbergh law calls for the death penalty only in the case the victim has been harmed. At taches of the district attorney's oJfice, and federal agents here re fused to comment n the possi bility that the death penalty might be asked on the ground George's nervous system had keen harmed. This question bobbed up when it was recalled that George's parent, Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Wey erhaeuser, jr., had Issued a state ment shortly after he was liber ated June 1 in which they said: "George was frightened and nervously upset and unable to answer questions clearly. The ter rible ordeal he has gone through has brought him back a badly shaken little boy." Meantime all questions relative to the prosecution were referred to Hoover and to J. Charles Den nis, district attorney, who cut a short business trip to San Fran cisco, and was reported driving back to Tacoma today. A federal grand jury Is due to report for duty June 20. and it' was deemed likely that the Wey eBhaeuser case will be before it for indictments. While all prose cution plans are in abeyance pending Dennis' return it is virtu ally certain that District Judge E E. Cushman, presiding in this division, will sit, unless he bap pens to be relieving in some ether district court division when the case comes to trial.
