Crawford Notch, N. H., Sept. 22.-
 (SpeciaD D--Advocating highway system for New England that will permit the construction of limited inotorways or freeways, Victor M. Cutter, chairman of the New Eng land Regional Planning Commis- sion, declared here that such e sys. tenn would expedite travel through out New England. reduce the num- Der of auto fatalities and save the six New England state hundreds of thousands Of dollars in highway construction by reducing the list of land takings and otherwise. Cutter urged the adoption of Q regional highway program as @ means of making all New England more readily accessible by adequate, safe and pleasant roads"
 Coastal Limited
 The major feature of the pro. posed regional highway system, the speaker pointed out, is the Coastal Limited Way which would extend for over 400 miles from the Vest chester County (New York) park way system and the new Merritt Parkway in southwestern Connect!- cut to Bar Harbor, Maine.
 The 3,400 miles of trunk routes included in the proposed regional highway network, of which only 1000 miles would be new construc- ton and 2,400 miles reconstructed existing highways, would carry about 50 per cent of all rural traffic. The branch routes in the network 2,300 miles existing and only 800 miles new-would probably carry another 20 to 25 per cent, and the total system, representing only eight per cent of the New England high way mileage exclusive of city mile- age, would carry nearly 75 per cent of the trafiic, he said.
 Assuming that maximum speeds would be no greater than legally permissible along existing highways, the coastal way would reduce driv- ing time from New York to Boston by two hours; from New York to Crawford Notch by three hours: from New York to Portland by three hours and from New York to Bar Harbor by five hours," Cutter stat ed. It would make average speed for a long trip practically the same as the usual maximum speed, be- cause it would eliminate sharp curves, steep grades, dangerous city intersections and city trafic, and the divided roadways would elim- mate the hazards created by "cut- ting in" from driveways or wayside business areas and from directly ap- preaching headlights, he declared.
 Connecting Routes
 The coastal highway is planned as a freeway, with limited right of ac- cess from adjacent property. To- gether with short connecting routes, 1t would accommodate both pas- senger and commercial traffic from New York and the south and west to New Haven, Hartford, Springfield Worcester, Boston and the Merrimack valley cities and Portland. It would serve the coastal areas of Connecticut, New Hamp- shire and Maine directly, and those of Rhode Island and Massachusetts by means of connecting highways. Inland recreational regions would be served by similar connecting routes.
 Major fatalities. which have in- creased on main highways during the past 10 years. would be "vir- tually eliminated" on freeways, the speaker declared. Forty-seven per cent of the fatalities. due to head-on collisions or side-swlping. would be impossible" on divided roadways. he stated.

CIeveIand's Phantom Killer Of Kingsbury Run Ranks With Worst Fiends in Annals of Crime

The theory was irresistible that ali the murders were done in some iAendish laboratory" from which the dissected bodies were later car ried, but every effort tc find that room of horror has been . failure,

Other parts of the body, but not the head, of Mrs. Flor ence sawdey Polillo were found nearby. But even Identification of this victim produced no clewS.
 Tn June the severed head of c man and then his dissected body were found in the Kingsbury Run section; in July the headless body of another man; in September the severed parts of the body of an- other victim, but not the head, were found.
 Literally hundreds of suspects were quiSSed, dozens of confessions were found false, thousands of "tips" were run down in vain. Not even 6 description of the killer, not a single clew to his identity could be found.

&13 Torso Murder ,lVictin1s Found
 M3 Three Years
BY WILLIS THORNTON

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 Cleveland, Sept 22-The bodies of l3 inutilated and dissected murder victinis--all found within the last three years--are the ghastly evi- dence that the United States has produced a monster iii the class with Jack-the-R Ripper, Fritz Haar- mann, and "Bluebeard" Henri Lam dru. 'h
 Britains Ripper, whose name still cllllls the blood of late walkers in London's White Chapel district, murdered five women. "Bluebeard" Landru killed between II and 20 of the 203 French women he caused to love him, perhaps many more. And Haarmann German monster, confessed to IS murders and prob ably committed others.
 Landru, the cold, repulsive Frenchman who exercised so strange 6 fascination for women, whom he married, murdered, and cremated in a furnace in his villa suburban to Paris, died on the guillotine for his atrocious crimes. HAarmann butch- cred between 30 and 70 young boys orphaned by the World war, and he too died on the guillotine.
 Jack-the-R Ripper was never defin- itely identified or captured, and the "Killer of Kingsbury Run" whose l3 dismembered victims entitle him to 6 place in the annals of crime like- wise remains phantom, unseen, unknown, uncaptured.
 THREE YEARS
 or TERROR
 Only three of Cleveland's mad killers victims have been identified, and the most painstaking police search for nearly three years has failed to produce 6 single really sug- gestive clew. The fact that he ap- pears to have chosen his victims from among the lowly and friend- less has helped him to cover his tracks.
 A part of the city much free quented by such homeless drifters, Kingsbury Run, gave the Killer his name, for most of the earlier vic- tins were found in the lovely, brush- overgrown valley of that stream, where hidden pools of stagnant water gleam in the reflection from blast furnaces and hulks of indus trial plants lining It's rim.
 On Sept. g, i036, the headless bodies of two men were found in Kingsbury Run. Each had been killed by decapitation, each had been mu- tilated. A swift, unerring strike of 6 sharp, heavy knife had severed those heads. The killer plainly had both the cold nerve of nadinan and a certain amount of rough skill in dissection.
 One victim was identified aS Ed ward HAndraSsy, c hospital orderly, whose relatives had seen him alive four days before the bodies were found. The other, never identified, was judged to have been killed ls days earlier.
 Police instantly recalled that on Sept. the dismembered torso of q woman had been found on the shore of Lake Erie on tho eastern out. skirts of the city. This murder had evidently been done months before, and aS there was no identihcati ton and no clew, little had been made of the discovery ct the time.

 NO CLEWS

They have the savings of years taken away from them because the entire burden of relief cost is imposed them without justice and through the unwse action of those having authority to impose taxes the feelings of security these home owners had is gone

R. G. Gill Is Guest of
Brother After Trip
To Ecuador

Richard c. Gill, author and ex-
plorer. came to Washington yester-
day to visit his brother, DR.. William
T. Gill, jr., after an eight-month
expedition into the jungles of Ecua-
dor.
Out Of this expedition, known Of
f1cially as the Gill-Merrill Expedi-
ton, and sanctioned by the gov
ernment Of Ecuador, comes to this
country great quantity of a medici-
nal herb known as curari, a lethal
drug in the jungles but a life-saver
IN present medical applications, ac-
cording to Mr.. Gill. He left Ecuador
with more than 18 pounds and ar
rived in New York with approxi-
mately a dozen pounds, some of it
lost by the sinking of a canoe.
Mr.. Gill told how the savages of
the jungles put curari on the tips of
their arrows, shoot the enemy and
send them to their pleasant depths;
for curari acts as a soothing sleep
producer. Used in just the proper
quantity, and for such maladies as

drug. He is giving 1t to a scientific

Wife Accompanies Explorer.
Aside from this herb, curari, Mr..
Gill brought with him several other
native herbs used by the medicine
men Of the Ecuador jungles, notably
one that grows hair and prevents
badness. He also has a depilatory
that works, he says. 1t has been in
use for 400 years by the Indian
tribes of the South American
country.
With the explorer on his latest
expedition was his wife, the only
woman in the party. Mrs. Gill has
the knack. the explorer says, of
taking a head-hunter-a wild man
and making him a good domestic
servant in a few days.
The expedition, according to Mr..
Gill, had 80 mules loaded with
equipment, rs cargo bearers and
four subchiefs, aside from the cook
and medical man. The subchiefs
were used to quell labor uprisings,
but the labor troubles in Ecuador
are In no way kin to those Of the
United States.

Mr.. Gill said, may be simplified by
this: The natives, after they have

drunk and remain drunk for quite
q spell. That puts q stop to all work.
Only ones who can handle them, at
these times, are their own chief
tains, and sub-chiefs. So we had
to carry along four sub-chiefs to get
the expedition through"
The explorer said that, since the
natives have no pockets, currency
is out OF the question and they are
paid of in goods-cloth, beads, and
what are known as housewives, i"
little sewing kits familiar to the
women of the United States.
Mr.. Gill is the author of "Kalu"

now writing another volume which

New Earth Inductor
Compass DEVELOPED

A new compass of the earth in
ductor type, developed primarily for
aviation, but also applicable for the
first time to boat use, has been an
nounced by the Washington Insti-
tute Of Technology. composed Of
group of former Bureau OF Standards
scientists.
The compass uses the principle
Of coil rotating in the earth's
magnetic field, principle first ap-
piled to direction indicating instru-
ments in 1921 by DR.. Paul Heyl and
DR.. Lyman j. Briggs, now director
Of the Bureau of Standards.
The device is said to eliminate
the faults which have prevented its
general use in aircraft. It returns
to proper reading in less than
half second after pitching, rolling
or banking and in bumpy air. Be-
cause of the motion of boat in
rough water, it hitherto has been
impossible to use the earth induc-
ton compass for marine navigation.
