BREAK DUE
 IN LYNN CASE
2l-Year-Old Youth Being Re-QuestiOned By
 Police

Lynn, Mass, July 25-(UP)-A 21-year-old Lynn youth with hand and arm burns was requestioned in connection with the sex-slaying ot Frances Cochran as authorities ar1- nounced today they anticipated an early "break" in the case.
 It was reported the youth once parked with the comedy 10-year-old hccl;keper during an auto ride but became so objectionable she de. manded to be taken home.
 Authorities believed the youth familiar with the area where the victims ravished, rnutilated and partly-burned body was found be- cause, 1t was said, he drove persons close to the Cochran family directly to the murder scene.--an isolated ravine of a wooded lcver's lane on the Lynn-Salem- -Swampscott line.
 District Attorney Hugh A. Gregg of Essex county, directing the eight day-old investigation, said the youth was questioned at the outset of the hunt for the naniacal slayer and released after saying the burns were sustained at a garage.
 Since then, 1t was said, the youth was trailed by detectives and re- portedly made statements to friends that were inconsistent with those made previously to police.
 Authorities also were working on 8 second clue-the report that Miss Cochran was annoyed by a youth during moonlight beach party with 10 friends several weeks go. It was said the party became so rough" that the girl left for her home.
 After conference at Lynn police headquarters early today, Gregg said authorities had obtained "noth- ing definite" but were working on leads that look pretty good"
 T expect there may be 8 break in the case in 24 hours-possibly a little longer" he said.
 Continuing their search for the death car-an outnoded sedan into which the victim stepped eight days ago enroute home from work and vanished-Creg obtained use of a coast guard plane to fly over the tangled woodland area surrounding the ravine where the body was found Sunday.
 He said a search of outbuildings and garages in the area failed to reveal the auto and believed that if 1t were hidden in the woods it might better be seen from the air.
 During a conference at his Salem offlce with municipal and state po- lice yesterday, Gregg heard reports from 8 state pathologist and a medical examiner. These reports in- dicated the victim did not eat prior to her death and probably was not slain at the spot where her body was found. They believed the girl was slain in daylight hours, prob- ably in an auto.
 The Salem city council swelled the reward for information leading to the slayer's arrest to total of $500 by making a $500 appropria- ton. The city of Lynn had posted $500, a newspaper offered $20O and an anonymous donor gave $500.

BANTAM TO OBTAIN FORTY NEW HOMES
Smallest Defense Housing Project in Country Re-
 suit of Boom

Big cities are not the only com- munities affected by the defense boom. Smaller settlements also have their problems so despite the fact that the Defense Housing administration Is primarily con- cerned with construction of pro- jects averaging 2S5 units, it hasn't overlooked the importance of small towns to defense.
 Bantam, c borough in the town of Litchfield and mecca for sum- ner pleasure seekers, will have the smallest defense housing project in the country, construction to start within ten days, William Davies, Defense Housing Director, said today. The projects situated not far from Bantam Lake, will have 40 units in duplex houses.
 A community of $50 persons, the town has not sufficient room to accommodate the skilled work CTS who have been called here to work in the Warren McArthur Corp. in the site of the former Bantam Ball Bearing Co.
 For many years the plant lay idle until the McArthur Co, seek ing site for it's factory for pro- duction of modernistic furniture, chose the plant for its work.
 The primary purpose of the shop has since been discarded and the company Is now engaged in 6 high- ly technical process of fabricating tubular aluminium for use in air- plane equipment. Already 2il are employed at the plant and an .ad- ditlonal 100 workers are contern- plated within the near future. The housing project will be eolmplet. cd before Thanksgiving, Mr. Da- vies said.

POLI's

Conceding to popular demand, the Loew Poii theater this morning an- nounced the hold-over engagement of the double hit show, ''Wild Geese Calling" and "Dr. Kildare's Wedding Day.
 Since the opening last week of this tremendous 2 hit bill, attend- ance records have been smashed continuously. s'Wild Geese Calling" is the screen adaptation of the Stewart Edward White best-selling novel of the great Northwest, and co-stars Henry Fonda as a tUo- listed lumberjack, and Joan Ben- nett and dance hall queen. Oria Munson, Warren William and Bar on McLane head the featured cast in support of the stars.
 'Dr. Kildare's wedding Day. is the newest of the popular series and features in their accustomed roles, Lew Ayres, Lionel Barrymore and lovely Laraine Day. A notable guest star has been added in the person of Nils Asther, longtime screen favorite.
 An extra added attraction is Walt Disney's latest Donald Duck cartoon, "Truant Officer Donald."s
 With the showing of "Dr. Jekyll and MT. Hyde" on Friday of this week, the Loew Poli theater inau- gurates its New Movie Season of 1941-42. Stars, thrills, drama, all combine to make "Dr. Jekyll And MT. Hyde" one of the seasons most exciting films. Spencer Tracy plays the dual title character, Ingrid Bergman is seen for the first time as "bad girl" and Lana Turner is cast as Tracy's fiancee. It is Tracy's delineation of the daul personality of the good Dr. Jekyll and the evil Mir. Hyde which again proves his artistry. He had no need of superfluous horror makeup for MT. Hyde. His change of facial expression achieves even more than any makeup alone could have done
 On the same program is another smash hit, "Scattergood Meets Broadway" with Guy Kibbee and William Henry.
 Watch for "Sun Valley Serenade" starring Queen of the Ice Sonia Henie, John Payne, Glenn Miller and his Orchestra, Milton Berle, Lynn Bari, Joan Davis and 8 cast of hundreds. Don't miss this first smash musical of the New Movie Season.
