The curly-haired girl, object of an intensive search by thou sands of officials and civilians since Dec. 3, was offered the ride by a man known only as "Johnny." Police were informed of "Johnny" by Maria's girl friend, who was with her at the time. Officials announced the new search Friday after reporting they had abandoned previous plans to dynamite hard-frozen ponds where the girl's body might lay concealed. Richard Auerbach, head of the Chicago office of the Federal Bu reau of Investigation and one of the leading police figures at Sycamore, said the dynamite plan would not "now be feas ible" because warm weather probably will melt the ice on the Kishwakuee River and near by ponds. 78c MONDAY " mi lWJ 3 Prices Effective to 9. p.m. Monday iHh'J I I LA Fourteen Killed By Tokyo Storm Tokyo (IP) Fourteen persons were killed and 148 injured Fri day in a storm that lashed west ern and southern Japan with heavy rains and winds up to 90 miles an hour, reports reach ing police headquarters said Saturday.

Witness Cracks Hoffa Testimony New York HP) The testimony of a defense witness backfired Friday and put a visible crack in the alibi of James R. Hoffa at his wiretap conspiracy trial. Hoffa had stated he was in Seattle,, Wash., at a Teamsters conference between July 6 and July 10, 1953. The government contends that on July 9 Hoffa was in. Detroit at Teamster head quarters supervising the installa tion of wire tap equipment. Friday, however, Raymond B. Klinke, a United Airlines execu tive, testified airline records show two tickets for Hoffa and his wife had been purchased June 26, 1953, for the Detroit Seattle run. Under cross-examination, how ever, Klinke admitted that there, was no way to prove that Hoffa actually made the flight. He also admitted that even if Hoffa had gone to Seattle, he could have returned to Detroit by plane the night of July 8 in time to super vise the alleged wiretap installation.
