POLICE STALK BRUTAL KILLER "Red Circle" Murderer Is Sought in City's
 "LOvers Lanes"

New York, Oct. 5-(Up)-0rave fears that the brutal killer whose trade mark is the red circle would strike again developed among police detectives today. They were no near CT establishing his identity than Sunday afternoon when the bodies of his first two victims--a boy and girl of 20-were found in lovers lane.
 Last night detectives watched all lovers lanes on the fringes of New York city, from hiding places. They hoped to see the killer of the red circle stalking new prey. Uniformed policemen left their beats period ically to walk up and down them, ordering lovers in parked automo- piles to clear out.
 In ordinary times, police are tol- erant of young people spooning in automobiles, but police authorities reasoned that if they dealt with 8 maniac of twisted imagination sud- denly taken to ritualistic murder and the evidence was increasingly toward that conclusion--he would not be satisfied with but two victims. They remembered 3-X who seven years ago killed the three male par ticipar1ts of roadside betting parties, and politely escorted the girls to the nearest trolley lines. 3-X was never detected and is believed to be dead.
 Detectives had questioned more than 30 persons--mostly the friends and school mates of Lewis Weiss, and his sweetheart, Frances Hajek, who were murdered in their parked car in the Hollis woods in Queens borough sometime Saturday night by @ person who used Miss Hajek's lipstick to mark red circles on their foreheads. They developed only one clue that seemed to offer promise.
 Saturday night, Miss Hajek was invited to a dance sponsored by a high school fraternity at which were dozens of the boys and girls with whom she went to school. She did not accept, preferring to go roller skating with Weiss. At that dance, the ticket takers stamped red circles on the wrists of all the boys and girls 50 that they could be iden- tified at any time as having gained admission legitimately. It is a fre- uuently used device to frustrate gate crashers, but in this case 1t had an exact counterpoint, coincidental or actual, with the red circle of the killer drawn on dead flesh a few hours after the dance ended.

Boston, oct. 5.-(UP)-The wool market in Boston remained very quiet and nominally quotations on spot domestic wools were mostly un- changed from last week, the U. s. agriculture department reported to- day.
 The continued lack of interest from manufacturers in sizable quan- titles of wool influenced most housea to refrain from offering their wools. Occasional buyers with small orders were able to cover their linn. it'd requirements at prices some- what under the general run Uf quotations but about steady con- pared with prices on last weeks small transactions.

CONFLICTS ARISE
 IN LABOR UNION
By JOE ALEX MORRIS

Denver, Oct. 5-(UP)-The Amer ican Federation of Labor's 57th ar1- nual convention today developed bitter conflicts arising from demands for the expulsion of the rebel C1O unions and for abolishment of the national labor relations board.
 President William Greens drive to crush the insurgent unions headed by John L. Lewis was slowed.
 Developments included:
 l. A bolt by the big Typograph- ical union, because of an attempt to bar Charles P. Howard, president of the Typographes and secretary of the 0. I. O., from his seat in the convention. I. T. U. delegates said they would fight to the finish against such an affront to their president"
 g. Introduction of a resolution calling upon President Roosevelt, Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins, and congress to disband the labor board because 1t allegedly "prejudg- ed cases in favor of the 0. I. o." and to form a new board that will Honestly carry out the intent" of the Wagner act.
 3. A call by Green for public sup- port in the offensive against the 0. I. o. The federation president urged the American people and the unor- ganized workers to choose between responsibility and recklessness in labor"
 With inauguration of a vigorous offensive against the rebels at this convention, federation leaders who have been most seriously affected by the 0. l. O. demanded Towards scalp.
 Howard smiled and watched from @ convention hall box while the car- penters union challenged his cre- dentials.
 Howard, president of the Typo graphical union, said he would ape pear before the credentials commit tee to argue that there was no legal or constitutional grounds to bar him from his seat. Later, he said he wasn't sure what he would do be- cause he didn't "like to walk very much" He added that he expected to leave soon, anyway, for Atlantic City where the CIO would hold 6 rival convention.
 He said the challenge to his cre- dentials reminded him of action by e Mussolini or a Hitler"
 His I. T. U. delegation, however was ready for @ fight in Howard'i defense.
 "Such an affront to our president would be an insult to the Typograph- ical Union," w. R. Trotter, head oi the union statistics bureau at In- dianapolis, said.
 It appeared likely that Howard would be declared ineligible. Some offlcials said the decision already had been made and that there were sufflcient votes to defeat the I. T. U on the floor.
