FAILS TO LINK
ANYONE WITH
DEATHOFC GIRL
Came From Head Of White
Man Who May Have
Killed New Yorker
IS NOT LIKE HAIR
FROM GADDY'S HEAD

ASHEVILLE, July 31.-A strand
of hair found on bath towel in
the hotel room of Helen Cleveng-
err, 19-year-old New York univers-
ity coed, murdered in fashion
able hotel here two weeks ago yes
terday morning was revealed to-
day as being a hitherto undisclos-
ed and important clue in the
search for the murderer Of the
visitor from New York.
The revelation came today with
the return to the city this morn
ing of police detectives with the
clue, which had been taken to
Washington for laboratory exami-
nation and comparison with the
hair of Daniel Gaddy, hotel night
Waterman, who is still held for
questioning in the mysterious
death.
The state edition of the Ashe-
vile Times said today that Police
Chief w. j. Everett announced
that the two samples did not come
from the same head. At the same
time, he said that he would keep
the hairs in the safe for COMPARE
son with possible future suspects.
1t could not be learned whether
an attempt was being made to OBJ.
tain samples from the heads of
others, previously detained in the
case, was further quoted in the
story as saying.
Everett said the hair was dark
and straight and from the head
of white man.
. 1t was not compared, he said,
with the hair of any one except
the Waterman. .

each about four inches long, on 8.
towel in the bathroom of the girls
ROOM" the chief said.
"They came from the head of a
white man who may have been the
killer"
Conceding that the hairs may
not be from the head of the man
who brutally killed the New York
university student in the Battery
Park hotel here July Is, Everett
added:
"The finding may prove very
important in the event we catch
the murderer by some other
means, for if the hair on the towel
is found to match the hair Of our
suspect, it would be a very i'm,
portant piece of circumstantial
evidence at the suspects trial"
Asked if the comparison with
Gaddy's hair indicated the watch
man had been considered a pos
sible suspect, the officers replied:
every person who was any
place near that hotel room on the
night of the murder is a suspect;
The clue is the first tangible,
one in the knotty mystery. Blood
spots were found in the room and
fingerprint smudges were located
on a lampshade. These prints and
splotches so far have proved to be
of no value in the investigation.

Munitions Laden Craft
Forced Down by Storm
In North Africa
SPANS WAR BRINGS
ON NEW CLEAVAGE
Copyright, United Press)


European anxiety over the
Spanish war was aroused to a new
pitch today when three more mu-
nitions laden. planes, allegedly of
Italian ownership, were forced
down by a storm on the north At
rican coast. 1t was believed the
planes were destined for use of
rebels in Morocco.
France is uneasy and the pos
sibility is seen that the left wing
government of that country may
supply arms to the left wing Span
ish government.
Had it not been for the gale, it
is likely that, though there would
have been rumors and charges,
the planes would have reached
their destination unchallenged and
little could have resulted by way
of international repercussions.
AS it is, there was activity
among all governments interested
in the Spanish revolt and in the
Fascist-Nazi left front movements,
and among those governments in
terested in Morocco and its spheres
of influence. 49,.
1t happened also that at the
time the airplanes crashed there
was an interesting concentration
of warships in Spanish waters, in
which Germany was a chief parti-
cipant for the first time since the
World war.
Reinforcements were reported
to be steaming from Malta to Gil
braltar to reinforce the British
fleet, already numbering 81 ships,
and it was estimated there were
besides IL French, five German,
eight Italian, two Portuguese and
two United States ships in Span
ish waters. More were expected.
The principal danger to be fore
seen in the situation was further
cleavage between the Fascist-Nazi
countries and the left front coun-
tries of which France is the lead
er. Little hope Of any way out of
Europe's present chickering's could
be expected if Italy were shown
to be arming one party to dis
pute; France the other.

to discharge and appoint a health

time to further investigate the le-

LIMITS FIXED
ON STANDING
IN BUSES
"Straphaneer" Limit
Determined BySize
of Vehicle

An order limiting the number Of
standees to be permitted on busses
has been decided upon by the Pub
lie Utilities Commission. The
action is the result Of complaints
made by "strap-hangers" at pub
lie hearing on mass transportation
problems conducted by the commits
sion several months ago.
Chairman Riley e. Elgen and
vice Chairman Richmond B.
Keech said the order will be issued
after they have conferred with
William NICK. Clayton, utilities
representative Of the Federation Of
Citizens Associations.
Five Standees Limit Asked
Mr.. Clayton will propose to the
commission that the number OF
Standees be limited to five more
than the actual seating capacity OF
the bus. It is considered unlikely
that this proposal will change the
minds of the commission members
on the Standee-limitation they
have worked out.
Under direction of Fred A.
Sager, commission chief engineer,
tests were made on all types OF
busses and a limitation for each
type was fixed. The study was
made on the viewpoint Of safety
rather than convenience to the
riding public. A white line will
be painted near the front Of
each bus, beyond which no
standees will be permitted.
The schedule as worked out
by Engineer Sager and which
has been decided upon by the
Commission give the aumber Of
seats and set up a capacity, the
standees on each bus to be
determined by the difference bet
ween the seats and the capacity.
Schedule Proposed
The schedule follows:
Buses with II seats, capacity
%; 81 seats, capacity 81; %
seats, capacity 81; 20 seats. Ca
pacity 43: 80 seats, capacities AZ
to 40; 80 seats, capacity 54; IS
seats, capacity 81; SO seats, Ca
pacity so; 81 seats, capacity 81;
40 seats, capacity 60; Al seats,
capacity IS, and a. seats, ca
pacity "a. The schedule limits
parlors coaches to seating Ca
pacity only, the capacities being
%, ~ and 90 seats.
Durin ignclement weather and
emergencies, the schedule would
permit the bus driver to allow a
few more passengers than the
capacity on buses.
Engineer Sager, with the COM
mission members, made tests with
persons filling the seats of various
types Of busses and fixed the
Standee number from the number
of hand-holds on each types Of bus.
Commission members anticipate
the new order, which probably will
be issued tomorrow, will result in
additional complaints from per
sons who will not be allowed to
enter a bus when the capacity has
been reached,

Wife, Children Saved
BY Neiehbor From
Blazing Home

A young father died as his wife
and two small children were res
cued from their blazing home here
last night.
Fire swept through their home
at 1903 Abbey Pl. N. E., shortly
before midnight. Mrs. Airline
Fowler, "a, was the first to be
awakened by the smoke and
flames in the front room. She
awoke her husband. James Fowler,
"a, and the two children, James,
IT,, 8, and Allen 18 months. Both
children were i'll with chicken-pox.
Rescued by Neighbor
The screams Of Mrs. Fowler and
the frightened children awoke
Herbert Carroll, their next door
neighbor. He climbed to the roof
of the rear porch and made his
way to the window Of the Fowler
apartment. He reached there IN
time to take the two children as
they were passed out and then he
aided Mrs. Fowler to safety.
For some reason that viii never
be known-probably to rescue
some treasured poSseSSion-Fow'
Ter went back into the apartment.
Carroll called to him to hurry out:
the flames were sweeping through
the hallway and front Of the
apartment and escape soon would
be cut off. Fowler got one leg
through the window and collapsed.

and two children was being ef.
fected at the rear. John E. Kim.

and brought out Fowler. He was
taken to Casualty Hospital where
he was pronounced dead.
Mrs. Fowler was treated at the
scene for burns on the left shoul-

were not serious. She and the
