LONDON < AP»—Moscow radio today broadcast four 10 month-
old news items, including a report of Soviet Premier Khrush-
chev's arrival in Finland.
While Khrushchev slept in his Moscow bed, an early morning
newscast told of his welcome to Finland by President Urho
Kekkonen. The visit was last, September.
The newscast included three other September news items:
U.N. Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold welcoming news
that Khrushchev would attend the General Assembly: the ar-
rest of Congolese political leader Jean Roll kango, and the win-
ning of gold medals by Soviet athletes at the Koine Olympics.
"It looks as though someone picked up an old file tape by mis-
take,” said an official at the British Broadcasting Corporation's
monitoring station. "I understand it has happened once before.”

In Slaying
By MIKE COCHRAN
CISCO (AP)—Officers held Nathan Curry, a neat,
serious appearing teen-ager, in- jail today in the slaying
of Mrs. Florence Hussey, 53, a deeply religious church
secretary. Mayor John H. Webb said Curry admitted
the killing.
County Attorney Earl Conner said the youth, 15, led
officers to a bronze flowerpot, a missing clue in the
bizarre case. The pot was used to crush Mrs. Hussey’s
head.
The youth's mother, Mrs. F. P. Curry, said her son
told her Tuesday about the
slaying. E
