POLICE SEEK COUPE
IN GORDON Staying
MuIrooney Accepts Theory
Woman Was Killed for Prac-
ticing BIaCkmaiI.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 3.-The search
for the slayer of Vivian Gordon, black
mailer and vice inquiry witness, GEN.
tered today on small coupe bearing
the license number N-8819.
General notice was broadcast by po-
lice that the coupe was wanted in con-
nection with murder in the fiftieth
precinct Inspector Henry Bruckman.
in charge of the police end of the case.
and District Attorney Charles B. Nc
Laughlin of the Bronx refused to d.
vu'ge the information they have about
the coupe. Bruckman issued the broad
cast with the warning that the car,
when found, was not to be disturbed.
Racket" Theory Accepted.
The license in question was issued to
Harold DOMAIN. who lived in an apart
ment hotel on the Upper West Side.
According to the hotel room clerk, Do
man lived there two weeks last year,
checking out without paying one weeks
rent-$7. The clerk said DOMAIN had
many callers. all of them men. He was
sure he never had seen Miss Gordon.
The theory the woman was slain be-
cause she was operating a blackmail
ring was tentatively accepted today by
Police Commissioner Edward P. Null
rooney.
Miss Gordon, he said, was an expert
racketeer," who supplied pretty women
for gay parties with instructions to de-
termine the social position and financial
rating of their escorts for future extor-
ton. The names Of about 40 men were
listed in her diaries, he said.
Two Held for Bail.
Mutations made public by District
Attorney Charles B. Mclaughlin and
read before the Bronx Grand Jury ac-
cused John A. Radeloff, her lawyer, and
Samuel Cohen, an ex-convict, of de-
signs on her life as early as two years
ago. They are held in $4,000 bail each
as material witnesses and are seeking
freedom on habeas corpus proceedings.
Miss Gordons body, bruised and gar
roted. was discovered in a Van Cort-
landt Park thicket last Thursday-Strip-
ped of all material identification, in
Guiding diamond ring mentioned. She
had previously conferred with vice graft
investigators.
A Cuban maSSeuse, around whom
police threw cloak of mystery, was
picked up yesterday in the belief she
might restore order to the chaos of
fact and fancy surrounding the MUIR
der of Vivian Gordon.
Grand Jury Probe Begun.
The girl. who appeared voluntarily
at Mount Vernon police headquarters,
used to give daily messages to the slain
demi-mondaine. On the night of the
murder she was seen entering an au-
tomobile in Manhattan, in which two
men were already seated.
District Attorney Charles B. Nc
Laughlin of the Bronx started a grand
jury investigation.
John Bischoff, Miss Gordon's former
husband, went before the grand jury
to deny the woman's charges that he
and Patrolman Andrew j. Mclaughlin,
just home from Bermuda cruise, rail-
roaded her to the reformatory on a
vice charge in 1928.
AL Marks, who was arrested for main
tanning a disorderly house at the time of
Miss Gordons arrest, presented himself
for questioning. He offered an alibi for
the time of the killing.

MENACE OF FLOODS
TO BE ELIMINATED
Bladensburg Work Planned in Con-
nection With Widening
of Boulevard.
By a stan Correspondent of The Star.


ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 3.-The
widening of the Baltimore Boulevard
from the bridge at Bladensburg to the
District line and the necessary drainage
of the Northwest Branch there is on
the State roads commission program
for this year, Kent Roberts Mullkin,
chairman of the Prince Georges County
delegation, was informed today in a
conference with officials of the State
roads commission concerning legislative
action necessary for road Improvements
in Prince Georges.
The commission told Mr.. Mullikin
that no legislation was necessary to
speed the correction of the Bladensburg
flood situation. Calling attention to
their plans for widening the boulevard
through Bladensburg and Cottage City
to the District line, the commissioners
declared 'it would be ridiculous to as
sumo this work would be done without
first caring for the flood situation"
Delegate Mullikin says The road-wid-
ening work will cost at least $140, 900, he
was told.
Elimination of the food menace prob
ably will be accomplished through the
dredging of the branch, but how this
will be done and the cost will not be
known until the commission completes
a survey and study that has been in
progress for some time.

GRANT TO SEEK RULING
ON SPEEDBOAT CONTRACT
Considers Asking Controller Gen
eral McCarl for Decision on
Three-Year Privilege.

Controller General j. r. McCarl will
probably be asked to render an official
opinion on the legality of accepting a
three-year contract for the operation
Of speedboats in the vicinity Of Hams
Point in East Potomac Park, starting
this Summer.
Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant, Sd, director of
Public Buildings and Public Parks, said
today that he is considering asking Mr..
McCarl for decision before finally
making up his mind.
Col. Grant recently called for bids
Tor one-year contract to operate the
speedboatS, but the only bidder to come
forward was the Downtown Parking
Garage Co, which offered to take the
concession on three-year basis. This
has given rise to the legal tangIe.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
WINCHESTER, Va, March s.
Frank Campbell Littleton, retired New
York stock broker and master of Oak
Hill, the old James Monroe estate near
Middleburg, Loudoun County. has very
decisively demonstrated a resourceful-
ness in emergency, and is being &C
claimed by numerous friends in the
Virginia horse country" as unbeatable
when 1t comes to making the best of a
situation taxing ones wits.
1t became known just today that Mr..
Littleton was called upon almost at the
eleventh hour to solve servant prob
lem which for a time threatened to
cause him no little embarrassment when
he invited a distinguished company of
about 800 to be his guests at an elabo-
rate hunt breakfast at his home a few
days ago, following the annual hunter
trials of the fashionable Middleburg
Hunt Club, attended by people promi-

nent in society in New York, Philadel
phia, Baltimore, Washington, Chicago
and Virginia.
While Mr. Littleton was preparing
to receive his guests and extend them
welcome to the old home of President
Monroe word came up from the kitchen
that the retinue of servants were hav-
ing a serious disagreement with the
English butler. who had occasion to
criticize some of their work. The serv-
ants declared they would take no orders
from the butler, and they asked to be
given their pay, saying they had de-
cided not to work that day.
Without much ado Mr.. Littleton COM
piled with their request, and let them
go. Calling a Washington employment
agency on the telephone, the master of
Oak Hill made his wants known, and
in short time several automobiles were
speeding out of Washington, bearing a
small army of servants, so badly needed
over in Virginia but at Fairfax, Va,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-03-03

the contingent ran afoul of State traf-
fic officers, who arrested them on
charges of speeding Explanations that
Mr.. Littleton wanted them in an emer-
gency were of no avail, and the entire
outfit was detained until fines were paid
for breaking the speed laws.
Apprised by telephone of the turn
things had taken, Mr.. Littleton called a
few Of his neighb6rs aside and explained
the situation to them, resulting in John
Hay Whitney, D. G. Sands, Gen. Billy
Mitchell and sundry others ordering
servants from their own kitchens to
Oak Hill for the emergency.
Taking the place of the chef. who had
left with the others, Mr.. Littleton DON
ned a large white apron and cap and
personally directed the preparation of
the hunt breakfast, which was served
on schedule and in a style BETTING the
occasion. Asked how they liked it,
many of the guests were quoted as say
ing 1t tasted like more"

prices have declined steadily since
the first Of January and at this
time, cattle and nogs are at the
lowest levels during the past 20
years. Cattle feeders have suffered
severe losses, as most of the cattle
now being marketed were purchased
as Stockers and feeders during the
last half of 1880, and even the most
pessimistic operators in the trade
failed to forsee the drastic defla-
ton.
Undoubtedly, the declines have
been brought about more because of
declining purchasing power rather
than because of increased supplies.
In this respect. the present decline
is vastly different from the deflation
which occurred just after the hectic
post war period. At that time, beef
and swine population had been ar
tificially expanded because of war
demands and supplies were far in
excess Of peace time requirements.

States.
Southern California retail meat
channels are clogged with a world
of habitat and very common beef.
Recent runs on the markets have
carried big percentage of Mexican
cattle, apparently representing the
flood of cattle shipped across the
border before increased tariff duties
went into effect.
California is having very
dry season and but small per-
centage of range cattle have fatten-
ed. Consumers are rebelling against
this type of beef, which is difficult
to sell even at very low prices. There
is scarcity of choice beef. with very
small quantities being produced in
Pacific Coast feedlotS, with the re-
suit that grain fed cattle are being
imported to the Coast from Colo
rado, Wyoming and Utah. Prices are
sufficiently higher at Los Angeles
than at other markets on this class
of beef to cause Rocky Mountain
feeders to ship west in the face of
stiff shipping expenses.
There is a real need for stand
ard zed production of beef, both as
to quality and weights, and some
guarantee to the consumer that he
may reasonably expect to obtain
the product he wants when he is
willing to pay. Beef producers must
compete with producers of other
food products and in my opinion,
a standard quality product, attrac-
lively merchandised and equally at
tractive in taste, might help to- in
crease sales.
