Bank morgue today to view the body. At first she said that Geb- hardt "resembled in every respect" the man who had called at the Moore home Sunday night asking for her father, and who had left when told that the inventor had retired early because he was leav- ing shortly after daylight the next morning on trip.
 Moore was shot when he went to the garage next morning to get his car.
 Positively Identified
 Later Police Chief Christian N. Dell of East Orange announced that Miss Moore had positively identified" the body as that of the night visitor.
 ''So far as the East Orange police are concerned" Dell added, "the case is closed. Our reason for indi- eating there was some doubt about Miss Moore's Identification of the body was a desire for time to confer with Prosecutor William Wachen- field of Essex county.r
 A conference with the prosecutor, he said, resulted in agreement that Gebhardt was the man they were seeking.
 Miss Moore's Identification, he said, together with the other evi- dence, including the similarity of the footprint and the bullets, make us positive there is no doubt"
 The footprint to which he re- ferred was left in the soft dirt near the body of the murdered man. Police obtained a plaster cast.

 Washington, June 1T-(UP)--Mil- Hons of dollars in checks were Inail- ed to World War Veterans today as the treasury began conversion of bonus bonds into cash.
 The treasury had no data as to the percentage of the 30,6S6,080 ad- justed service bonds mailed to D. 023, ,700 veterans which would be converted, but officials expected 1t would be high.
 Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthat, Jr., announced that bonds and bonus checks totalling 41,6OO, ,754, ,0z7.72 were distributed by the treasury and postofflce depart ments. Of that amount 968, 8,950,5O7 was in checks and $l,S31, ,8O4, ,450 in bonds.

described as "a man of wealth who believes in the Townsend n1ove- rnent." Smith, who said he was speaking for Townsend in Town sends absence, said that he ex- pected Rep. William Lemke, r., N. D., to "join" the coalition. Town send national headquarters was silent regarding the statements of Father Coughlin in New York yes- terday which some interpreted as a hint that Gov. Joseph B. Ely of Massachusetts would be standard bearer of @ third party.
 Rift With Two Leaders
 The United Press was informed that Coughlin's hints coincided with a growing rift between Townsend and Smith in Chicago. The lean, hollow-cheeked father of the scheme to pay everybody over 60 a $20O-a-month pension was de- scrihed as irked by Smiths ten- dency to take all the spotlight.
 Townsend conferred yesterday with his high command on cafn- paign strategy, Smith spent most of the day issuing statements which he said were "joint" with the doc- tor. Three times during a hot af- ternoon Townsend publicity rnachin- cry whirred as if about to give off 8 Clarifying statement" which 1t was undnerstooc, would have put Smith in his place. Each time there was postponement.
 The last time was after Townsend had boarded 8 train for Milwaukee where he delivered an address at the state fair grounds. Smith thereupon declared an important" announcement would be made in 12 days.
 Townsend Hints Milwaukee, June 17.-(UP)-Dr. Francis E. Townsend, old age pen- sion movement leader, hinted at a third party fusion last night when he predicted his forces would se- cure 8 new system of government this fall through 8 united front. Townsend spoke here while his as- sociates in Chicago spoke of pos- sible joining of Townsend and two other minority forces in third party.

Brussels, June IT. UP) The grest Belgian general strike, now in its third day, spread today as Gen. darmes encountered increasing dif- ficulty in coping with acts of viol- ence.

 Miss Blagden five. Physicians who examined her when she reached Memphis found welts five inches wide across her thighs and hips. The third union sympathizer beat en Monday was Roy Morelock, 35, 8 Parkin, Ark, share-cropper erl- ployed by the tenant farmers union as 8 runner" between Memphis headquarters and the Arkansas strike scene. Morelock said several men waylaid him on 8 road and beat him with fists and "a small sledge hammer" He said he broke away and escaped by hailing 8 mo- torist who took him to Memphis.
 Violence Very Common
 Violence has been common throughout the strike, in which white and negro choppers" have introduced the mass picketing tac- tics of industrial centers to the roads of the cotton country. Union leaders have accused planters and those among the white population who believe that unionization is not for negro plantation hands, of fight ing the strike with a reign of vigil lante terror. Plantation owners say that much of the violence has re- suited from resentment among na- tive workers at outside agitation.
 Funeral Of Negro
 Miss Blagden and Williams came to Earle to conduct funeral services for a negro said to have been killed in a vigilante raid on a union meet ing. Sheriff Curlin said he was unable to find proof that the mar was killed. The assailants of Miss Blagden and Williams entered their motor car on an Earle business street and forced Earle to drive to the river bank for the attack.
 New York, June IT (UP) - President Roosevelt has directed the Justice Department to investigate the beating of Miss Willie Sue Blag- den and the Rev. Claude c. Williams in Arkansas, according to a message from the White House to Norman Thomos, socialist leader.
 Thomas urged the president yes- terday ito act in this monstrous perversion of everything decent in the American tradition"
 White House Secretary Marvin H. Mcintyre replied:

to convert the bonds to money. There is also the probability, it was pointed out, that many have decided to save most of the bonds until acc tual need arises. Standardization for this belief is the fact that some have elected to cash only one or two of the bonds.
 Stan Is Reduced
 The stan of post ofice employees at the armory was reduced to % this morning. Postmaster Babin said that it would be augmented again this evening by the addition of about twenty clerks and that if there was any indication of Q rush the full stan would be once more placed on duty.
 He said that every veteran who had redeemed bonds yesterday would receive 6 check for the full amount today. This means that cheeks will be received by 647 ex-servicernen. The men may expect 24-hour serv- ice in the mail delivery, Postmaster Babtn said.
 Bonds StiII Coming In
 He said bonds were still being re- ceived from Washington, and that four had come in this morning. Mir. Babin expressed the opinion that some had been delayed because of minor adjustments which must be made in cases where frequent loans had caused complications. Approx ilnately 1000 more bonds remain to be delivered to Waterbury, 2,000 having already been delivered.
 Banks this morning reported that many cheeks received with the bonds for odd amounts yesterday had been cashed by veterans. The smallest check reported yesterday was one for six cents.
 First of the bonus celebrants,' 2 appeared before Judge Edward Ekascolo in city court today on Q charge of intoxication. The man said he had spent part of his check yesterday just to celebrate the re- ceipt of his bonds. He promised that the money he received was going right in the bank" Judge Mascolo continued the case to Saturday.
 Only 6 On Relief
 The fact that only six local vet- erans were actually on relief was cited this morning as concrete proof that ex-servicemen in Waterbury were at least not in dire need and were therefore in no great rush to convert their bonds into cash. At the Federal Savings and Loan As- sociation office, officials declared that they expected 8 gradual but sure increase in business due to the bonus payment. Many veterans are interested either in making repairs to their property or investing their

 Lewis Episode
 The episode which caused Lewis to pocket his medal with the more than casual observation that "Yale will never get 1t now" occurred May IS, 1881. In company with two friends he called at the library where, he said, they just didn't sesm interested and said there woin't any place in their collection for such an item. In my innocence l thought that there might be just that, but learned better than to try to make any gifts to the Yale Library"
 He vowed he never would try again to persuade the university to accept the token. "One doesn't spend lifetime to get rid of 6 gift horse when the beneficiary is lock- ing ct its teeth right to ones face," he declared.
 Assistant librarian Charles Rush asserted Lewis never did offer the medal, and strode out of the build ing after making 8 few inquiries about the coin collection.
