UPPER MARLBORO, Md, Novem-
Der 20-A mass of information COL
lected from acquaintance, friends and
the family of the murdered Corinna
Loring was being scrutinized today by
Lieut.. Joseph ItZel preparatory to be-
ginning a check on the alibis of vari-
Gus witnesses.
The record of the case thus far
consists of hundreds of typewriter
pages taken by a stenographer sitting
in on Lieut.. Itzel's interviews through
out the past week.
The Baltimore detective said today
he has been so busy collecting these
statements while the details were still
fresh in the minds of the various wit
nesses that he has had little time as
yet to go over the whole transcript in
a thorough-going manner.
Confident He Will Find Motive.
He feels confident, however. that a
study of the record will furnish him
some definite lead or motive on which
to shape the future course of the in
vestigation.
Lieut.. Itzel said today information
gathered thus far convinces him the
murder was not committed by an in
sane person. The completeness of the
disappearance in & community where
almost every resident knew Corinna
seems to indicate she was done away
with by a person or persons with an
intelligently conceived plan for re-
moving her from her home unseen.
Investigators said the triangular
wounds over the girls temples were

M'CARL BANS USE
OF P. v. A. FUNDS
FOR PRISON GOODS
Ruling Expected to Turn
Millions Into Private
Trade Channels.
UPH0LDS TREASURY
PROCUREMENT UNIT
Controller General Ignores Law
on Penitentiary Purchases
From Regular Moneys.

Millions of dollars worth of business
will go to private concerns under
decision today by Controller General
McCarl which held that no part of the
S4,880, ,000O00 work-relief fund may be
used to purchase prison-made goods.
The ruling came in the case of 60
cent brush purchased for the Army.
While the controller generals deci-
sion was directed particularly to goods
produced in Federal penal institutions,
it was interpreted as being SO all-in-
elusive as to affect every prison in the
country-State and municipal.
Upheld Treasury.
The decision upheld an order from
the Procurement Division of the Treas
ury which said in August that the
work-relief fund could not be used for
prison goods inasmuch as it was in
tended ito provide relief work relief
and to increase employment by pro-
viding for useful projects"
In his summation, McCarl said
making such purchases from the Fed
eral prisons appeared to be out Of line
with the purpose for which the ap-
preparation was made.
The question of the 60-cent brush
was raised by Maj. Carl Halla, Finance
had submitted an account of some
$40, in which the brush purchase ap-
peared, and asked if it would be nee
essary to get a clearance on the pur-
chase from the Bureau of Prison In
dustrieS in the Department of Justice
before submitting the account to the
controller generals Office for approval.
Under statutory law, the Government
is required to buy those products of
its prisons for which is has use. if
they can be supplied.
McCarl said no.
Diversified in States.
In the issuance of its order against
prison products, 1t was understood
today the procurement division was
not thinking particularly of the out
put of Federal prisons, which is
limited. comprising generally shoes,
brushes and machinery, but was hit
ting at State-produced goods. which
are said to have a wide diversified
sion.
1t was felt also that by setting up
ban complaints would be headed
off. organized labor and organized
business being highly critical of Gov
ernment manufacturing or what has
been termed frequently and freely
competition with private industry"
The stand of the procurement di-
vision, however, would have been
upset had the controller general held
that statutory law would govern pur-
chases out of the relief money as it
does others.

mayors and other public officials.
Following Morgenthau's address, the

Morgenthau said the Federal Gov
