The statement was made by Coroner Austin Richards on behalf of all officials investigating the case. The body of the boy was found hanging by a belt in a closet.

Police Inspector Larry Abbott said it appeared the boy's hands and feet had been tied. In the statement, Coroner Rich-trds said: "There is insufficient evidence to warrant criminal prosecution and the theory of suicide in the case is ruled out. Therefore, we by mutual agreement, consider the death of John Arthur Smith to be presumed to be accidental" The statement was issued after a conference held by the coroner. Chief of Police Walter Sweet, and Clark-co Prosecutor Stanely Busted. After the conference, the boy's stepfather, Roger Elix, 22, was released from county jail where he had been held for questioning.

Offend Greatest Number Of People LONDON UP) "The secret of success," tips George Bernard Shaw, "is to offend the greatest number of people. That gem comes straight from the old master in a new book, "Days- With Bernard Shaw," by Stephen Winsten, long time friend and neighbor of Shaw and now his. literary helper and an-; thologist.

The book's wittiest sparkle is (the other Bolshevist. Perhaps Mr. Bevin wouldn't speak so bluntly as to state the case in terms of "two worlds," when the hopes of peace-minded people center on i'one world." however, the implication is there and you can't evade it any more than you could dodge an earthquake. The foreign secretary said that the North Atlantic pact (involving a military alliance) now being considered in Washington should let the U. S.

and western Europe divide some of the burdens of defense. He added; "I am quite, sure that before nhis prophecy you will find the defense ministers and finance ministers of the western world sitting down discussing a common budget, common cost, and a common method of defense." Forced My Moscow Bevin might have gone on to point out that this epochal development has been forced by Moscow's creation of a great Bolshevist bloc which constitutes another world that is engaged in a cold war against the Democratic bloc. These blocs are the nuclei of the two worlds which are developing rapidly. This wretched sitiuation naturally raises the question of he our new peace organization fits into the picture. Of this Bevin remarked succinctly: "The United Nations is giving us very grace concern as to whether it is going to face up to grave problems at all." Well, what can we Just as the world is divided into two blocs, so the U.

N. is a house divided against itself. While the world remains divided, the U. N. will be divided and incapable of facing up "To grave problems at all" as a unit.

Reds Against Rights The position of the U. N. is well illustrated by the current fight over the Declaration of Human Rights which finally has been completed after two and a half years of labor. Naturally the Communist bloc is against the declaration, which is supported by all the democracies. The Reds afe against it because the only human right they believe in is that of becoming a cog in the totalitarian machine.

If the peace body 'can't agree on a declaration of human right, what in the name of common sense can they agree on? the answer is "nothing." Negotiations regarding the proposed military alliance between the U. S. A. and western Europe were resumed in Washington yesterday. American Undersecretary of State Lovett met with representatives of Britain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Canada.

The alliance and the Marshall Plan would compliment each other, making a powerful military economic team for defense and rehabilitation. DROP PARTITION MENTION PARIS (JP) The U.

And they say the documents-scheduled for release tonight would have enabled the Soviets to crack the codes in which the American diplomatic messages were sent. The 10-year old papers came from former Communist agent Whittaker Chambers, who last week brought them out of a pumpkin shell hiding place on his nearby Maryland farm.

Chambers has testified under oath that he got some papers for relay to Moscow from Alger Hiss Julian Wadleigh, former State Department officials.

Mundt (R-SD), told reporters investigators have unearthed some "very good clues" about a typewriter.

He said they have a good chance of locating some letters which would show whether they came from the same machine that produced copies of state department papers. The committee set its next meeting for Monday noon. Whether it will be open or closed or if there will be any witnesses, was not known. The house group had summoned Hiss and his brother, Donald, for questioning this morning. But it excused them until some time next week because a New York grand jury investigating espionage want to quiz them.

Deputy Coroner Stanley Juzen-ski, after a preliminary examin-tion, said the "deed could only have been performed by an adult."
