VIENNA, June 20 O.N.SO.-Al-
though some Of the red spots
found on the lining Of the green
wardrobe trunk beloning to Miss
Agnes Tueverson, missing Amer
lean woman lawyer, were blood,
most of them were iodine, an ex-
pert chemist advised the police to-
day. Only a few traces of blood,
the chemist said, were found.
The trunk was discovered in the
attic of the house occupied here
by Ivan Poderjay, reputed inter
national Dan Juan, and Marguar-
ite Suzanne Ferrand.
It was identified as belonging to
Miss Tuferson and contained arti-
cles said to have been part of her
trousSeau.
Miss Tufverson vanished 16
days after marrying Poderjay
in New York last December.
London records show Poderjay,
who is held on a charge of big
amy, also was married to Nine.
Ferrand.
Espionage Hinted
The chemist who examined the
spots on the lining of the trunk
declared it was impossible that
the trunk could have contained

Poderjay, according to reports
current here. had a secret source

may have come from espionage

While in Vienna, Poderjay
lived a very secluded life and
never received guests at his
home. His few associates he

wanted to stand trial on the muir
der charge, but hospital attaches
testified that. while he then was
enjoying a 'lucid interval" he
still was insane and "a menace
to society"
Justice Bailey took the matter
under advisement and Owens was
returned to the hospital.
Yesterday, however, a United
States deputy marshal called at
the hospital and presented an
order for Owens release in his
custody. He took the man to
jail to await trial.
No Decision Made
Today. however, it was discov-
cred that there is no record of JUS
tice Bailey's having handed down
any decision in the case.
So the question has arisen as
to whether owens transfer was
legal and whether he must be re-
turned to the hospital or whether
he will be kept at the Jail until
he is brought to trial on the MUIR
der indictment. +

Based ON Longs Charges

order to obtain concessions for
valuable oil land in the Gran
Chaco, had maneuvered to in
volve Bolivia in the hostilities
He said the Standard company
had close relations with the Bo'

"The general munitions in
quiry is well under way now.
Our Investigators have been at
work for some time and pre-
liminaries indicate that the
disclosures that will be made
will startIe the nation. / believe
1t will be probably the most
enlightening investigation ever
undertaken by the Senate"
Lobbying activities Of muni-

factor in the investigation, he
added.
Z Senators on Committee
The committee also will seek to
determine whether there is an IN
ternational organization Of arms
manufacturers seeking to promote
wars in both hemispheres.
Seven Senators comprise the
committee which is directed by
the senate "to investigate the ac-

ture, sale, distribution. import
or export Of arms, munitions, or
other implements Of war;"

Race Fight
In District
Not Over

Defeated in the closing hours Of
the Seventy-third Congress be-
cause Of the objection voiced by a
single Senator, legislation to
license race tracks in the District
will be pressed early in the next
session, Senator Robert R. Rey-
nolds CD of North Carolina said
today.
The North Carolinian, who
championed the measure IN the
Senate, expressed the belief that
the bill will be approved by the
Congress.
Will Request Action
He added that he will request
action on the proposition by the
Senate District Committee soon
after the next Congress convenes'
The measure was introduced
in the House this session by
Representative Loring Black CD
of New York, and won the sane
ton of the House District Com
mittee and the House with vlrtu-
ally unanimous consent.
The Senate District Committee
favorably reported the bill late
in the session, and opportunity
for Senate consideration was not
given until the last day Of the
SasSion when Senator REYNOLDS
attempted to call it up under
unanimous consent.
Capper Kills 1t
Senator Arthur Capper (R) Of
Kansas, sounded the death knell
to the proposition, however, when
he declared II object"
It was admitted by the Kan
san that had he not interposed
this objection to permit the bill
to be considered, it would have
been approved by the Senate.
This points to the fact that II
the bill can be reported out Of
committee early in the next seS
sion, it can be called up under
other than unanimous consent
procedure and thus win Senate
approval. Since the proposal
won in the House almost unani
mously this session. it is virtu-
ally foregone conclusion that
the body will pass it again next
session,

1000 Millions at Stake
He added:
I'VE have abundant evidence
that these alleged protective
committees are operating ma

timizing men and women who
invested their life savings in
stocks or bonds in companies
which encountered financial
difficulty through dishonesty
or otherwise. If we are given
