TEW MKDFOHO (ORZOOIT) MAIL TMBUHE Thursday, July 14. 19SS US Uirgedl To of Question Soviet Dulles To Discuss View in Strategy Meetings in Paris ... - Paris U.PJ Britain and France have urged the United States not to press too hard on the question of Russian satellite states at next week's conference of the - Big Four, informed sources said today. U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles probably will dis cuss this view further when he arrives here from Washington for last-minute strategy meet ings with British Foreign Sec retary Harold MacMillan and French Foreign Minister An- toine Finay. Dulles will confer first with Finay at the Qua! D'Orsay this afternoon, and then with Mac Millan over dinner at the Ameri can embassy tonight. The trio will meet jointly Fri day and report to the NATO For eign Ministers Council Saturday morning before they and French Premier Edgar Faure fly on to Geneva. " Informed sources said the United States will raise the ques tion of freedom in the satellite states at the conference- among Faure, President Eisenhower, Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin and British Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden. But the sources said British and French diplomats did not expect President Eisenhower to push the issue so hard as to en danger the succes of the confer ence in the face of angry Soviet reaction. However, lending emphasis to the American position was the action taken Wednesday by the Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee which approved two reso lutions opposing colonialism and imperialism and expressing U.S. hope that the satellite countries soon may be freed from Soviet domination. , Pinay said Wednesday that ''the Eastern European countries could take their place in regional security accords in Europe. In coming here, Dulles will take a first-hand look at Faure's new proposal to cut the arms budgets of the Big Four and use the savings thus made to set up a fund to aid underdeveloped countries. - t. ' ' He also will study with Pinay and MacMillan a report on joint Allied strategy for Geneva which has been hammered out during the past week by a com mittee of Western experts. Missing Youngster Believed With Father New York U.R Police said today they believed a six-year-old girl, missing since she was seen walking with a "man in a white suit" last Tuesday, may be with her father. The girl is Yvonne Soto. Her father, Thomas Soto, is sepa rated from Yvonne's mother and has been working in California but recently came to New York in an attempt to effect a recon ciliation, police said. - Mrs. Soto said she received a telegram from Soto saying he and the girl were flying to Cal ifornia. Police said, however, he may have been trying to mislead . her because a check of airlines showed no such passengers. News Fflow Expected To ie Stepped (Up by Successor to Mirs.

(U.R) FBI agents called in Iowa officers today to help them unravel a farm hand's rambling, confused story that he raped and killed 21-month , old Donna Sue Davis of Sioux City. Audrey Brandt, known by the nickname "Mugeye" in LaPorte City, la., signed a written state ment Wednesday which said he killed the blonde, curly haired child, who was described as a living doll." But acting Detective Captain Johnny Showers said Brandt, 42, admitted any crime we asked him about, so we couldn't be sure of anything." . There were discrepancies In Brandt's story and federal agents summoned Sioux City of ficers familiar with details of the brutal murder. Iowa police said Brandt has a record of one conviction for sex molestation in 1947 at Ced ar Rapids and was fined $100. He was arrested last. April 24 at Waterloo, la., for investiga tion of annoying two small girls in a movie theater, but was re leased when the investigation showed no molesting. At LaPorte City, Town Mar shal Henry Kruse, who said he has known Brandt since he was a small child, said Brandt didn't get much schooling, and "can barely write his name.' He said Brandt had been involved in petty thievery a long time in the LaPorte City area but was never prosecuted because the people, in town knew they could go to him and get their property back. A truck driver's suspicion led to Brandt's arrest on a Joplin street about midnight Tuesday. The driver, who gave Brandt a ride to Joplin from Springfield, Mo., said the man acted strange ly and would not talk except to say he was "headed south.' Police and FBI agents report ed several "good" fingerprints were found in the bedroom from which Donna was abducted' last Sunday night while her parents watched television in ' another room.. ; southwest section of Jacksonville made into a municipal park. The council received the offer in a letter from Attorney Frank VanDyke, who represents the Britt estate. , To View Property Mayor John Keaveny- has called a meeting of the council to tour the property, and discuss problems in maintaining it as a park. Among problems to be dis cussed are financing and whether or not the offers should be de cided by a vote of Jacksonville residents at an election. The building may or may not be included in the offer, Van Dyke said, depending on dispo sition should the city accept the offer. The estate originally was willed to the Southern Oregon Historical society along with $25,000 providing the society fiananced maintenance. Society officials believed, however, they would be unable to maintain the estate as a museum because of certain restrictions on disposi tion of $25,000 and lack of avail able funds to contribute to that sum. . To Education System Under the terms of the win, if the society did not maintain the estate as a museum, the estate would go to the state department of higher education. The offer from executors of the estate provides that if the property is not maintained by the city of Jacksonville as a pub lic park, then it would revert back to the state department of higher education. . an cabinet member in his ad ministration.

But he usually sat in on Treasury Group Pressured To Cut Tax Plan Washington U.R) The House Public Works Committee was under heavy pressure today to whittle down an - $800,000,000 a year tax hike the Democrats proposed to help pay for a big highway program. ". Most of the heat apparently came from truckers who have loudly protested proposed tax increases on new trucks and trailers, diesel fuel and heavy duty tires and tubes. The 34 - member committee turned to .the financing provi sions at a closed meeting after working out the 'construction details of the 12-year $47,400, 000,000 program. Rep. Frank E. Smith (D-Miss.) who favors highways but. op poses the tax plan, said he ex pected Republican members "with some support from our side,", to scale down some of the proposed taxes. He said they then probably would move to include part of President Eisenhower's bond financing proposal to make up the loss in revenue. The committee rejected the President's plan yesterday, but the 19-16 decision was. largely procedural and did not rule out the possibility it could be offer ed in whole or in part again.
