"For persons whose incomes

I'VE also ask, insofar 40 this

Guinan told the committee that

under the latter plan with monthly
payments as low as S13 a month
and thus eliminate the present

DISLIKE $500 HOME
Guinan said that builders have
never liked FHAs $500 home

Newfoundland Air Base

The Navy reported yesterday that
"all essentials of its air station at
Argentia, Newfoundland, would be
completed before winter sets in.
This information was set forth in
report by Rear Admiral Ben
Moreell. chief of 1.-The Bureau of
Yards and Docks. THE report was
made public by Secretary Knox.
Admiral Moreell said that the de-
velopment at the base would cost

Gated that the station probably
would be put into full operation

was subject of further study.

was not thoroughly familiar with
this reported link in Catoe's chain
of confessions.
"Of course, if he is guilty of a
crime for which another man is in
Jail, we would want to see justice
done, but that would be matter
for the district attorney" he point
ed out.
Acting Maj Kelly explained that
no decision had been reached re-
garding rewards which had been
posted in several of the cases. This.
too. will be left to the district at
torney's Office. he said.
Catoe. according to police, already
has re-enacted and signed confess
sions to two of Washington's most
battling murders - the slayings of
two young women, Miss Betty Strieff.
War Department worker, and Mrs
Rose AbramoWitz, a bride of
month.
From several cities along the
Eastern seaboard, detectives were
converging on Washington last
night for chance to question Catoe.
New York police informed local au-
thorities that they wanted to ques-
ton him again about another slay-
ing in Manhattan last February.
Police from Media. Pa. talked to
Catoe about sex murder in their
jurisdiction, and Nassau County
0ong Islandp detectives interro-
gated him about the murder of two
policemen there. All the officers
said they were satisfied that Catoe
knew nothing of the slayings.
Trenton IN. J), Lynn (Massl and
Baltimore police have sent in re-
quests to question Catoe on crimes
in their cities, and other police have,
asked for his photograph and finger
prints.
The inquest into Miss Strieff's
death will be held Tuesday at the
District Morgue, and if Catoe is
bound over to the grand jury. that
group will act on Wednesday.
Since his arrest, police say that
Catoe has given them detailed ac-
counts of the murders of eight
women, seven of them in Wash
ingtor, and of assaults on half a
dozen more.
