(By Guardian's Special Wire) PARIS, Sept. TL-Prime Minister R. B. Bennett, speaking at a banquet in his honor at the Inter-Allied Club here this evening, made an im- psssioned plea. for international peace and friendliness.

“When Canadians traversed the seas to maintain peace." he told the 150 diplomats and prominent Frenchmen gathered at the banquet "they believed it would come again."

"Canadians know how earnestly France has striven for peace.” he “In these days of rapid com- inunicati , the repercussions of what takes place in France Wdav are felt in Canada tomorrow."

Pierre Etienne flandin, Minister of Public Works in the Doumergue Cabinet, ,roposed the Co. adian pre- miers health and acknowledged Canada's hospitality at her recent Jacques Cartier ., atercentenary cel- ebration. Ilandin headed the French delegation to the celebration.

Recollections oi that event, Flan- din said, constituted "a souvenir not easily fomotten."

Introduced by Hon. Philippe my. Canadian Minister in Paris, the Pre- mier took occasion to make smiling reference to Politico at home.

Ha said he hoped the guests would not consider him too great a man, "as the lay-elections at home indic- ate I am not."

“Naturally when a government has not yielded to inflation it does not receive the plaudits of the P9091‘?- "-......= "'§'.‘;.%°" is" "=

The Premier said he would always member the reception given hlm in

It is with this spirit cf neigh- bcrllness that Canada is laying the foundation for a great national Christian civilization with liberty oi worship and work as desired."

The Premier invited French capl- tal to Canada. asserting "it will al- ways be welcome and I ‘believe will roceive a fair return."

discuss this phase of the inquiry. New Clue

For a short time late in the afternoon a new clue appeared in a report by Mrs. Katherine Maurer of the Bronx, that her husband, John Maui-er, had disappeared and that he had been acquainted with Hauptmann.

This was discounted somewhat when Mrs. Maurer returned to her home from the prosecutor's office, saying it was "purely a domestic matter" and that neither she nor her husband knew Hauptmnnn. The name "John" has bobbed up again and again in the two-year old quest for the baby's kidnappers, for that was the name by which Dr. John l". Condon, the intermediary,‘ lmew the man to whom he paid a $50,000 ransom.

Plan Further Study

Police plan further study tomor- row of the kidnap ladder with Ar- thur Koehler, a Wisconsin expert. in comparison with tools and lum- bez- ilrom Hauptmanrrs garage.

" An attractive associate of Haunt- mannk in 1932, Anita. utzenberg, was questioned for se eral hours today about the summer s

party which numbered several others. ‘Ilhis was while Mrs. Haupt- mann was abroad.

A friend of the girl, John Braue. appeared briefly at the prosecutor's omcc and then went home. He said he knew Hauptmann “fairly well," having met him in July. 1962.

I-Iauptmann was walking with a limp at that time, Braue said. but explained that he had "varicose veins" when friends asked him whether he had been injured. “Hauptmann never did have any dough." Braue said 0f the suspect's spendirg habits, asserting that I-lauptmann described himselilas a carpenter who worked “here and there." District attorney Samuel J. Foley himself voiced the belief that it is possible Hauptmann him- self "could have been the rnsn who went up the ladder" to the Lind- ibct‘ l nursery to seize the baby.

"Lone Wolf"

The District Attorney, however, indicated that he did not think Hauptmsnn was a. "lone wolf" and that others undoubtedly were in- volved. This coincides with the known theories of the Department of Justice which said while it was possible for Hnuptmann to have been‘ alone in the crime it was not probable.
