Fanatics Blamed With Kidnap Plot | LONDON (UPI) — The London Daily Herald said tod iy fantical Irish Republican gunmen plan to kidnap Prince Charles and use him as a hostage to force Britain io return' Northern Ireland to the Dublin government. The Herald, quoting “Irish sour ces," identified th0 group as the Fianna Uladh Warriors of Ulster and said it was so fanatical that ! even the outlawed Irish Republi can Army looked on it with dis . favor and had fought with it. There was no confirmation of the Herald's dispath. The Daily Herald said the plot had caused Scotland Yard t.■ set sive Cheam School which the 11 year-old prince attends. “The authorities do not think the plans have reached an ad ' vanced stage," the Herald said. "But they dare not take any chances with the life of the heir to the throne. “Reports that there have been night prowlers in Cheam grounds recently brought about the final decision to strengthen the Scot land Ynrd guard."

But the Benson chief said there was clearly no reason to suppose it had been deliberately set by George Jones, a man in his sixties who had lived in the back of the former donee hall. Jones was first thought to have been burned to death but the ash es disclosed no trace of him. Yes terday morning, eight or nine hours after the fire, he was found In the woods near the lake. "I understand that one of the hoys looking for him hollered anc he answered back.'’ said Dixon. The Benson chief said he hadn’t talked to Jones and doesn't know whether he left his room before the fire or after it started.
