German sources believed that
Nazi and Soviet forces were crap

and perhaps the most decisive phase
of the Russian campaign.
The fact that the clipped COM
muniques of the high command
gave few details OF the fighting
merely caused the average German
observer to nod his head knowingly
firmly convinced that when the
generals are reticent something pig
is stirring. Well-informed quarters
maintained similar confidence.
The vanguar6s of Schnelle Trup-

Yes. so far as | am concerned.
There was no time element men,

No, sir"
You start searching immedi-
ately?'
Yes"
In this instance. Mr.. Grayson
said, he checked the police casual
ties lists and the hospitals to see
if any accident Or mishap had be-
fallen Miss Strief. and later sent
a squad car to the neighborhood.
! This was done at once. he insisted.
You know" Mr.. Hebert said,

that this occurred?'
Yes"

Have you done anything TO cor

Il told the chief of detectives what
happened.
Did YOU tell any of the news

Yes. a couple of them at head

At this point Representative
Hebert asked that MI. LIE Blanc be
, heard and Chairman Schultz di-
rected that the slams finance be
summoned.
In response to other questions. Mr.
Grayson said the public relations
squad had about so reports of miss
ing persons day,
About SO per cent of them are
found or return home" he said.
Before 1t. Darnall and Pvt. Gray
son were heard, Chairman Schultz
denounced the extreme leniency'
on the part of District Court judges
in dealing with criminals.
There is a definite lack of CO.
operation between the judges and
the police department. Representa-
tive Schultz declared. IF you could
get this cooperation. so per cent of
the crime here would be eliminated.
Mr.. Schultz made the statement
after the subcommittee had ques-
toned Capt. Harvey G. Callahan,
commander of the first precinct, for
nearly an hour about the operations
of so-called pressure groups" which
seek favoritism for colored persons.
Capt. Callahan, who charged be-
fore the subcommittee last week
that the police department harbors
a "Gestapo' which spies on other
officers, was recalled to the witness
stand at the request of Representa-
tive Copeland, Republican, of Ne
braska.
Infested With Transients.
Capt. Callahan admitted under
questioning by Mr.. Copeland that
Washington is infested with tran
sients" who come here and commit
crimes
There must be reason why these
people are attracted to the Dis
trict and not attracted to other
cities in the north" Representa-
tive Copeland declared.
Asking for an explanation, Capt.

Bureau.
Il want to know" he declared,
"why Capt. Keck should be in his
present position"
Acting Capt. Keck took over
command of the detective bureau
about two months ago as temporary
successor to Inspector Bernard H.
Thompson, who is scheduled to go
on the retired list August l. Acting
Capt. Earl P. Hartman of the special
Investigations squad told the sub
committee several days ago he did
not believe Mr.. Keck was qualified
either by experience or back
ground" to head the Detective
Bureau.
Chairman Schultz said he hoped
to complete the investigation within
two weeks, but in the meantime, he
wanted to hear the testimony of
every one" in the police department
who might offer some constructive"
suggestions for improving efficiency.
Expects Drastic" Suggestions.
Inspector Edward j. Kelly, former
ACE" detective, he declared. would
be called before the inquiry ends,
as will several other veteran police
officials.
When We finish our investiga-
tion." Representative Schultz pre-
dicted, we will have some drastic
recommendations TO make-recom-
mendationS, 1 am hopeful, that will
lead to some beneficial improve
ments in the entire police depart
ment"
Representative Schultz returned
to Washington late yesterday after
an absence of nearly week during
which time Representative Hebert,
directed the inquiry.
1t was Mr.. Hebert, incidentally.
who first suggested the investigation.
Before the close of the week.
Representative Schultz said he
Planned to give representatives OF
business and civic organizations
vitality concerned with the current
investigation an opportunity to ex-
press their views.
Il want 10 hear the civic and
business leaders the latter part of

missing.
The police waited until the next
! morning before going into the Janl-
tors room" declared MI. Hebert
Was that good police Work?"
That's not up to me to decide,
Mr.. Darnall replied.
You should have gone in there
before it was known that murder
had been committed Mr. Hebert
declared. You don't know what you
might have found.
1T seems to me the situation
comes down TO this point. All the
homicide squad needs is few more
men and a couple of additional auto
mObiles-that is all.
Questioned on Tear Gas.
Just before Mr.. Darnall was ex-
! cused from the witness stand, Rep
/ resentatlve Hebert asked;
support YOU needed tear gas to-
night, where would you get it?'
/ Then turning to Chairman Schultz
Mr.. Hebert said:
Il want you to get this"
. Mr. Darnall's reply to the question
was:
From the lieutenant"
Suppose the lieutenant goes out
does he take the key to the tear gas
supply with him?" inquired Mr.
Hebert.
No" was the ansker. He leaves
it at the Detective Bureau"
Chairman Schultz explained that
police formerly carried tear gas in
their cars and wanted to know why
it had been taken out
Mr.. Darnall said he did not know
A few moments later. Representa-
tive Hebert asked Mr.. Darnall
On Part-Time Basis.
rs it correct that what I have
read in the newspapers that Deputy
Coroner Rosenberg devotes only a
part time to the police department?
The lieutenant explained that DR.
Rosenberg is on part-time basis
and works for the police department
when he gets chance"
The subcommittee will resume the
inquiry tomorrow at 10 am. In
addition to Mr.. Leblanc, the wit
nesses will be acting Capt. George
Little, commander of the fugitive
squad; 1t. Joseph Shimon, who is
assigned to the office of Edward
Curran. United States attorney fol
the District. and newspaper report
ers covering police headquarters
Chairman Schultz said the testi-
mony of the reporters would be "ofi
the record" to save them from any
possible reprisals.
GraySOn'S Testimony.
Pvt. Gravson. who preceded 1t.
/ Darnall. said his first call about
Miss Strleff came from Mr.. lie
Blanc at 7:40 pm.
Had there been any attempt pre-
viously to notify the department
she was missing?"
Not that I know of. I was the
only one on duty. I would have
known
Did LIE Blanc tell you that he had
made an effort to notify the police
earlier in the day?"
No"
What did he tell you?"
Mr. Grayson said the young man
told him his fiancee had been miss
ing mysteriously" since the time a
storm broke, which was about 220
o'clock that afternoon; that she had
been preparing dinner and had left
to get some butter at a nearby
store.
Representative Hebert asked:
lie Blanc didn't call you about
4:3O?"
No"
Did you tell him he would have
to wait six hours before anything
could be done?'
Il did not"

Golden G|ovestoK Keep
-Four Referees Busy
AT 2-Ring Circus
Quurter-FinuI Program
Will Offer 80 Bouts
At UIine's Tonight

Amateur ring fans should get their
fill of boxing tonight at Uline Arena
where SO bouts are listed on a two
ring program beginning at o'clock
This is the first time in the city's
history two rings have been neces-
sary to run off a tournament and
the novelty is expected to add to the
interest. All of the Districts four
referees will be kept busy by the
arrangement.
The cream of the caulif1ower crop
will appear tonight and the progress
of such boys as Buddy Thomas,
Danny Petro, Charley Maimone,
Nick Latsics and Vic Berman will
be watched with interest. This is
the quarter-flnal round and usually
produces some of the best fighting
of the tournament.
Thomas. bidding for the senior
lightweight crown, was adjudged the
outstanding novice of last years
tournament and is heavily favored to
cop the title. In Preston Drew he
meets veteran ringman who knows
all the answers and who has a
chance of outpointing the hard-hit-
ting Prince Georges ace.
But picking out the better scraps
Is useless on a card of this nature
Take a hatpin and jab the program
at any spot and YOU probably will
hit red hot number.

Lewis Still Champ
RassIer as Far as


Ed (Strangler) Lewis still is
world wrestling champion OF Jim
Henry, at least. and for verilcation
you can ask Henry. He got it in
the neck last night at Turner'S
Arena, succumbing to the old war
boss after IA minutes of futile
battling.
Lewis, trying a semi-serious come
back after a decades absence from
the ring, had no trouble with Henry,
despite the latter's underhand tao
tics, and finally pinned him with
the old, reliable deadlock.
Henry, too. tried the deadlock in
an effort to cross up the old master
and beat him at his own game, but
he didn't have the genuine article at
his disposal
In other matches Babe Caddock
pinned Stanley Pinto in IA minutes,
Lou Plummer and Len MacaluSo
drew, Tiger Joe Morris threw Jim
AuSteri in 10 minutes and got
popped on the nose for the trouble,
and Ed Newman threw Fred Carone.

Abe Simon, the ponderous heavy
weight pugilist who is being drafted
as a wrassle referee, is back on Mon
day nights card at Uline Arena for
the return bout between the Swed-
ish Angel and Bobby Bruins.
Simon scored a hit with the GUS
toners last week because of his
handling of the match. which sew
eral times threatened to get out of
control, and has served notice on
the combatants that this time he
give the first chap who fouls a good
bust on the chin.
Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn-or is
that promoter now?-promises an
other star-studded card for the pa
irons with plenty of ticket windows
open to avoid another jam such as
that which marred last weeks open
ing.

will be organized to seek contrlhu- tons in Waterbury and two Addl- tional divisions will be appointed to take charge of Watertown, Wood- bury, Middlebury, Wolcott and Prospect.
 Division and other committed chairman will be appointed this week and the drive will get under way next Tuesday, opening with a dinner meeting of all workers at the Y. M. o. A. Tuesday evening. The campaign will be closed June 1e.
 The national organization is headed by Thomas E. Dewey, who will speak over the Columbia Broadcasting System tonight ct l0:30 o'clock, explaining the objec- tives of the campaign and what it will mean to defense workers whether military, naval or indus- trial.
 The U. s. government, cooperat- ing closely with the U. s, O., plans to erect modern recreation center buildings close to existing army camps. These buildings will be turned over to the U. s, o. when completed and the $i0,765, ,000 raised in the campaign will be used to pro- vide entertainment and recreation
 Although the Army has provided recreational eenters at camps throughout the country, most of the men prefer to leave the en- campment on their free evenings Since most of the camps are far from large cities there is little wholesome entertainment for the men on short leave. The U, s. Q. program is designed to correct this situation.
 Building Morale
 Another ultimate objective of the program Is to provide entertainment for industrial workers employed in locations where rcreation is not readily available. The entire plan Is to build morale not only by en- tertaining military, naval and in. dustrial defense workers, but to build the morale of those "at home" who might otherwise be worried that their relatives and friends in the service would be without proper and wholesome recreation.
