IRON AND STEEL
EXPORTS INCREASE
Japan and Italy Listed by
Commerce Department
: as Big Buyers.

BY the Associated Press.
The Government yesterday reported
record United States exports in 1885
of scrap iron and steel-wars raw
materials.
Japan and Italy were listed by the
Commerce Department as the big buy
ers in the greatest volume OF ship
ments of any previous six-month pc
riod of record"
The scrap iron and steel exports
for the first half year were given by
the department as 1,l54 ,266 gross tons.
This compared with 738,84S for the
first half of 1884 and was larger than
the full 12-month period in 1888 or
any previous year since the World
War.
Japan took 724,246 tons in the 1885
six months, against 407 ,592 tons dur
ing the same period Of 1884. Italy
increased hel purchases from 94,30S
tons to las, 1928 tons in the same Pc
riods.
Other major buyers were the
United Kingdom, Canada, Poland,
Mexico and China. A total OF 2S
countries purchased the metals from
the United States this year, compared
with 81 in the 1884 six-month period.
The Commerce Department did not
discuss potential war uses of the met
ais, or the possibility that military de-
mands were partly responsible for the
development of larger and new mar
kets.
The best markets, the department
said, are located in those countries
having an insufficient supply Of raw
materials, which must be augmented
through the importation of scrap re-
ouired to support a local steel indus
try and in those countries which have
an extensive supply of raw materials
available, but import scrap where its
use results in economies, compared
with the use of locally produced raw
materials"
Annual figures on scrap shipments
show the average yearly export dur
ing 1925 was only 6s,735 tons.
This jumped to an annual average OF
335,178 tons in 1e26-1930. In 1890 the
total was 35s,649, which fell to 1885,
las in 1881, increased to 227,522 in
1882 and tripled in 1898 to 773,4O6.

Two More Transit Company
Employees Arrested in
Dual Murder.
SEVEN ARE NOW HELD
FOR INVESTIGATION
Pugh Calls Conference Of County,
D. C. and Baltimore Police
to Discuss Probe.

What is believed to be the first
tangible clue in the brutal dual mur-
der of two Capital Transit Co. en-
ployes at Chevy Chase Lake car barn
in Montgomery County was uncov-
cred last night when blood-stained
clothing was found in the vicinity Of
the crime and turned over to detec-
tives investigating the case.
While police refused to divulge the
nature of the wearing apparel, it was
learned that the garment or gar
ments were found by a citizen Of
Montgomery County at a point not
far from where the bandits robbed
the car barn Office of 81 800 and killed
two employees of the traction firm.
Two additional arrests we're made
in the hold-up and double murder
last night. when a pair Of Capital
Transit Co. trainmen, attached to
the Chevy Chase Lake barn, were
taken into custody by detectives.
Pugh Calls Farley.
It was further learned that States
Attorney James H. Pugh. Montgomery
County prosecutor. has called a con-
ference with county police and Wash
ington and Baltimore detectives to
discuss the crime and to determine
the progress being made in the probe.
With the two arrests last night,

PERMANENT DYKE
PLAN IS OPPOSED
Finnan Says Temporary Bar
to Flood Water Would
Answer Purpose.

Dismclined to favor construction OF
a permanent dyke in the line of In
dependence avenue, near the Wash
ington Monument, as a flood-control
measure for Washington, c. Marshall
Finnan, superintendent of the Ma
tional Capital Parks, today revealed
he hopes to convince interested au-
thoritieS that a hastily erected tempo
rary levee will serve as we'll.
If the Finnan program is adopted,
WaShingtonianS may expect to see
f1ood-control drills being held by the
parks office so employees will be trained
in the event of a serious flood.
Finnans contention is that sand
bags should be kept on hand, as well
as trucks. and pick and shovel men
assigned to the duty Of throwing up
temporary dyke. He believes Washing
ton would have warning of a serious
flood from points up the Potomac
River, such as Cumberland and Han
cock, Md; Harpers Ferry, w. Va, and
Great Falls.
With preliminary warning being
flashed from the Weather Bureau and
the Geological Survey, Ffnnan would
have his force out to have a dyke,
probably around feet high, thrown
up before the jeopardizing waters could
reach the Government buildings here.
The United States Engineer Office
and the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission are studying a
program for a permanent dyke con-
structed as an extension to 1ndepend-
ence avenue. This would be around
9 feet high, but as much as possible
would be made to fit in to the Mall
development scheme. Finnan fears II
the permanent dyke is erected, a num-
ber of trees would be destroyed In the
program and the appearance OF Po-
tomac Park would be radically altered,
The matter is expected to be threshed
out when the planning commission
assemblies Friday and Saturday.
