Phone REPORTS
MURDER SHOT

A possible murder. with no
clues and the scene of the crime
unknown. is battling detectives
at headquarters.
A broken telephone connection
as Mrs. Myrtle Salkeld, chief
operator at the Raleigh Hotel,
was converSing with her mother
late last night, revealed the
startling developments.
Mrs. Salkeld reported to police
that she heard sounds of a
scuffle, and a voice saying, Don't
shoot! For Gods sake put down
that gun!" Then a shot followed.
In some apartment in the city,
a fight near a telephone stand
evidently overturned the tele.
phone and the receiver dropped
off the hook. Police sought the
aid of the telephone company
but the only hope was by a
long process of elimination.
Mrs. Salkeld is the wife of

In a hearing marked by spirited
clashes between Senators and
witnesses, and by heckling from
the audience, the Senate District
Committee today listened to
arguments for and against con-
firmation Of Major General Her

ton of DR.. Luther H. Reichel
derfer to fill the other vacancy
on the Board of Commissioners.
Labor Fights Crosby
Business and labor organic
tions lined up solidly against ~
confirmation of Crosby on ~
ground that he is legally j.,
BILE, his status as a retired ~
officer disqualifying him frc't
appointment to the civilian C"''7
missionerShip.
Arguments of these organ"
tions, however. were met by stu"
mentS from the Federation of C::-i
zens Associations and individual,
maintaining that Crosby is eligible
and that his nomination shoule
be confirmed.
Copeland Opposed
Senator Wesley Jones of Wash
lngton stated frankly that he
would vote for confirmation of
Crosby and Senator Vandenberg
Of Michigan, by his question. in
dicated that he would follow a
similar course. Senator Royal
Copeland of New York, who was
forced to leave the meeting early,
left instructions that his vote was
to be cast against Crosby.
Senator Cole Blease indicated
that he would vote in favor of
confirmation, as did Senator
Kean of New Jersey.

fire Of questions from members
OF the committee and to bitter
remarks by those in the audience
who favored confirmation.
The hearing opened with an
attempt by Senator Jones to
block any discussion of the legal
phases of the nomination. Senator
Copeland remarked that the
question of eligibility should be
gone into first because If the
nominee were not eligible there
would be no necessity of entering
other phases Of the discussion.
Senator Jones said: "I have
heard of no objections except on
legal grounds and if no one has
any other objections I think we
may as well vote right now."
Opposed as Officer
E. C. Reigel, of the Consumers
Guild, said that regardless Of eligi-
bility, he would oppose Crosby on
the ground Of his being a military
man.
An appeal for the committee to
hear the legal objections to Cros-
by'S appointment was made by
E. j. Murphy, president of the
Board Of Trade. He said that there
was no objection to Crosby person
ally.

controversy" said Senator Jones.
