An automobile which might have
brought the body of the mur-
dered Jessie Elizabeth Strieff to
the alley garage in which it was
found Monday morning was heard
just before midnight Sunday by a
visitor at 17l9 @ street NV, next
door to the garage, The Star was
told late today.
Fred Kennedy, 1900 Penn street
NE, said he was visiting a friend
in a basement kitchen near the
garage from 3 pm. Sunday to l
am. He believes only one car
passed through the alley in this
interval. This occurred about 11:52
pm, he said, and he heard the car
stop nearby. A dog belonging to
his friend. he said. ran in from the
alley whimpering as if badly
frightened. He said he left for
home without investigating the in
cident.
Detectives said today they ex-
pected to question young Federal
employe who lives within a block
of the spot where the girls nude
body was found and who went on
a vacation several days ago. Capt.
George Darnall, chief of the homi-
eide squad, was emphatic, however,
about stating the man was not a
suspect.

BALTIMORE. June 21.-Sale Of
explosive fireworks is banned IN
MARYLAND under a court decision
handed down here today. Only
"sparklers and other non-explosive
displays by combustion" will be
legal.
The decision was made by Circuit
Judge Eli Frank, who upheld in part
regulations of the State fire in
surance commissioner forbidding the
sale of explosive fireworks to the
public.
An injunction against regulations
banning non-explosive fireworks
will be issued.
Two fireworks manufacturers and
a Cecil County taxpayer sought to
prevent Insurance Commissioner
John B. Centrum from enforcing
regulations which would have
banned all general public sale,
transportation and use of fireworks.
Text Of Law Cited.
The text of the section of law
passed by the 1941 legislature.
granting enlarged regulatory powers
to the insurance commissioner, was
Judge Franks basis for his decision.
Mr.. Gontrum's regulations were
written to be effective June "a.
Judge Frank said that the section
of law relating to fireworks had the
word explosive" in it three times.
It am satisfied" he wrote, that
the legislative intent was to
treat fireworks and firecrackers as
explosives and that the power OF
the commissioner to make regula-
tions is thus limited to explosive
fireworks or f1recrackers."
Non-Explosives Escape Ban.
Mr.. Gontrum's regulations as
they relate to sparklers and other
non-explosive displays by combus-
ton, the Judge stated, is not within
the power granted to the commits
sion and the enforcement of the
regulations to that extent must be
enjoined.
with respect to so much of the
said regulations as related to ex-
plosives or audible pyrotechnic dis
plays" he said, "the regulations
are, in my judgment, valid"
Mr.. Centrum issued his regula-
tions after a petition had been filed
at Annapolis calling for a refer
endum on a Statewide prohibitory
fireworks bill passed by the Legis-
lature. The ban law would be put
before the public for approval or
disapproval at the 1912 election. An
entirely different law gave Mr..
Centrum his regulatory powers.

A Separate Arm

Consolidating the Army's mo-
bile General Headquarters Air
Force and service branches of
the Air Corps into "a single uni
fed organization,' designated
the Army Air Force" was an
nounced this afternoon by Sec
retary of War StimSon.
The step was disclosed in a letter
to chairmen of the Senate and
House Military Affairs Committees
in which Secretary StimSon voiced
vigorous opposition to congressional
proposals to make the military air
branches an independent arm like
the Army and Navy.
Secretary Stimson said that I'VE
favor autonomy of the air arm
rather than segregated indepen-
dence"
Units are Combined.
Under the reorganization. the
Army air forces will combine both
combat and service units under a
high ranking air officer. who will
be responsible only to the Army
chief of staff.
Hitherto. the G. H. O. Air Force
included tactical and combat units
and directed combat training. The
Air Corps was charged with basic
and advanced training, procurement,
maintenance and research work.
Secretary Stimson contended that
a separate, independent air force
could not operate effectively unless
there was a single supreme general
staff in which authority over the
Army. Navy and Air Forces was fully
vested, as in NaZi Germany.
Warns of Confusion"
1T would seem to be obvious that
it is neither prudent nor desirable
to undertake such a major Govern
mental reorganization in the midst
of a national emergency" Mr..
Stimson added
The War Secretary said further
that creation of an independent air
force just now would bring con
fusion and waste of time" by di-
vorcing existing housekeeping and
servicing functions" from the pres
ent military organization.
Mr. Stimson did not say what air
officer would head the air forces,
but military circles believed the
choice was Maj. Gen. Henry H.
Arnold, former Air Corps chief. who
is now a deputy chief of staff.
In his letter. the Secretary said
that France had an independent
air force, but failed to meet the test
of war.
