By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, June 3o-New
high records for single month in
sales OF new automobiles and in
rayon yarn shipments to domestic
consumers were set last month as
trade and industry continued TO
show gains during Nav and early
June in the fifth Federal reserve dis
trict, the Federal Reserve Bank
reported today.
All trade and busines figures were
materially higher than those for 1910
the report said, and the only unfa-
vorable note was reduced estimates
Of crop yields due to the lack of ram.
The bank in its monthly business
review said the volume of business
was based primarily on the defense
program, which was reaching into
practically every trade and indus
try either through direct Govern
ment orders or in the effects of in
creased purchasing power of con-
sumers as result of added employ
ment, longer hours of work, and
higher pay rolls.
Retail Trade Rises.
Wages paid in filling defense or
ders are affecting distribution of all
kinds of consumer goods. as re-
fected in department store sales.

speculative building of homes for
sale TO people in the lower and
medium income groups, the report
said.

per cent higher last month than a
year ago.
Sales OF new passenger automo-
bileS, which had set a record for a
single month in April, advanced
further in May to a new high, and
sales of used cars were also eXcep-
tionally brisk, the bank reported. A

to s. 600 class are being built and
sold on long time payments in or
near 5th district cities. especially
those in which defense work is being
done.

in the last II years on an assort-
ment of charges.
Proposed $50 Increase.
Asked to outline specifically the
urgent needs of the Police Depart
ment, Inspector Beckett proposed an
increase of $50 in personnel which
would bring it to strength of 800,
100 of whom should be placed on
motorcycles; establishment of a
crime laboratory with a full-time
chemist and adoption Of a system
for more rapid training of officers
to fill vacancies.
Representative Hebert requested
Inspector Beckett specifically to
mention one of the major crimes
recently cleared up by the depart
ment.
He recalled the Wilson murder
case" and pointed out it was par
ticularly difficult one to solve. He
was obviously referring to the slay-
ing of Allen B. Wilson, newspaper
route agent. here in October. 1884
Police called the Staying one of mis-
taken identity" saying the intended
victim of the slayer was Mickey"
Mcdonald, gambler.
Inspector Beckett told the sub
committee that the officer who
solved this crime was in the room
and turned around and pointed 10
Capt. Floyd Truscott of the 10th
precinct, who was formerly attached
to the Detective Bureau.

gree murder; the impulsive killer
is not"
Bullock was arrested in Newark,
N. j., and brought back here on
April 20, 1899. He was tried before
District Court jury the following
June and found guilty.
Bullock's counsel, Eli Grubic and
T. Emmett Mckenzie, appealed,
contending he had not received a
fair trial. The evidence was that
Bullock had an argument with his
common-law wife, Susan Fletcher,
colored, in front of 80 F street NV,
and that when police were um-
moned, Bullock shot Policeman
Shinault, who died that night in
Casualty Hospital.
Premeditation Denied.
The Government contended in the
appellate court that premeditation
and deliberation in a first degree
murder case could be practically in
Simultaneous with the Staying. Blll-
locks lawyers declared, however,
that the colored man did not have
sufficient time to deliberate or pre-
mediate to kill the policeman TO
bring the case within the first de-
gree murder category.
Commenting on Bullocks assertion
that policemen kicked and beat him
to compel him to sign confession,
that he thought they would kill him
if he did not sign 1t. and that the
Jail physician gave him salve and
bandages for his injuries and tablets
for pain in his head, the appellate
ruling said:
Appellants (Bullock's) detention
for more than 36 hours without
hearing or commitment, which
would ordinarily have been unlaW-
full, was perhaps excused by the
fact that it occurred on Saturday
night and Sunday. The fact that
appellant was subjected during his
long detention to persistent and re-
peated questioning, his testimony
that the police used violence, the
PHYSICIANS corroborative testimony,
and the fact that the murdered
man was policeman make it ap-
pear probable that violence was
used. Yet We cannot say that no
reasonable man seeing the wit
nesses could find the contrary. Even
If there was no violence, it does not
follow that the confession was VOL
untary. In cases decided since ap-
pellants trial, the Supreme Court
has condemned the practice of ex-
torting confessions from poor and
ignorant men by persistent and
repeated questioning, and has ruled
that no such practice shall
send any accused to his DEATH"

Canadian Grainmen
Fear Further Tax
On Storage Space
Farmers Asked to Accept
Delivery Quotes on
le40's Bumper Crop

WINNIPEG. June 80 Canadian
PresS).-Grainmen in their discus
sion OF mid-year conditions see eX-
port markets lost because of the
war and successive bumper crops
Jammlng Canadian storage facilities
with record quantities of wheat after
last summers harvest
Farmers were asked to accept de-
livery quotas on their 1910 crop in
order to relieve the congestion.
Seeking to relieve the overflow by
reducing wheat production. the
Canadian government told farmers
the wheat board would accept deliv-
cry of only 230,0O0000 bushels of
wheat in the 1941-42 crop year which
starts August l.
The figure arrived at will sug-
gest that farmers keep before them
an objective of not more than IS
per cent of last years acreage said
Agriculture Minister Gardiner. In
1910 a record total of 28,726.200 acres
were soWn to wheat throughout Can
ada
dN
At the same time, farmers were
promised payments of 81 an acre
for wheatlands left to summer fall
low and 81 an acre for land planted
to coarse grains, rye, grass or clover.
Government surveys of seeded land
showed that the decrease in Cam
adas wheat area would be about
25 per cent, or more than 100000
acres. The reduction indicated that
to large extent farmers were will
ing to cooperate with the govern
fnent.
But all signs pointed to another
bumper crop for Western Canada.
Last years wheat harvest totaled
55l,390,000 bushels for the entire
dominion, largest weld since 1928
and second largest in Canadian
grain history. and it appeared that
the weather is stringing along with
other conditions in an effort to pro-
duce as much wheat as possible on
the land which is planted.
Much of the land formerly used to
grow wheat was converted to coarse

which has improved greatly in the
interest of prairie farmers in live
stock production.
Hog Marketings Boom.
Aided by the agreement under
which Canada has undertaken TO
ship 8,l85000 pounds of bacon to
Great Britain weekly, hog market
lngs and prices are leading the live
stock boom. Marketings of hogs
throughout Canada for the first five
months of the calendar year totaled
26l00OO hogs against l,999,000 for
the same period last year.
Sheep and lamb deliveries Jumped
5000 to 141,000 during the same per-
iod and cattle marketings and prices
also improved, while calf deliveries
dropped to $4,000 at the end of
May this year from $4,000 last
year even though prices were a little
better.
The Board Of Grain Commits
sioners figures placed exports of
Canadian wheat overseas since the
beginning Of the 1904 crop year
at more than 150O00,000 bushels
during the same period of the pre-
Vtous crop annual.

Promoted Through Ranks.

Promoted Through Ranks.
After that statement. Chairman
Schultz asked him how detective
sergeants are made.
Inspector Beckett said the detec-
tive force is made up Of men pro-
NOTED through the ranks - men
whose activities in the precincts
have shown them to be qualified for
such posts, and have ability and
personality.
MI. Schultz developed, however
that the detectives are not given
any special course of instruction.
Our detectives" Inspector Beck
EFT said, ARE trained continuously
by their experience. their associa-
ton with each other and the in
formation that is available to them.
A detective is as good as the in
formation available to him. A good
detective builds up sources of in
formation"
Representative Hebert wanted to
know how many detectives had been
denoted for inefflciency.
In the last several years. to the
best of my recollection" the in
spector said, perhaps 10 we're de-
NOTED"
There are 10 men on the detective
squad.
Lack of Funds Cited.
representative Hebert took UP
the questioning at this point in an
effort to find out why more men,
bers of the force had not attended
the police school at the F. B. l.
Inspector Beckett explained that
the department did not have the
funds to pay to replace men who
would have to be relieved from ac-
tive duty while attending the school.
Haven't the men been dis
couraged from attending the
school?" Mr. Hebert inquired.
Il couldn't say came the reply.
Representative Hebert asked how
long members of the force are on
probationary tenure. He was told
six years.
Does it take you six years to find
out whether man is efficient?" Mr..
Hebert asked,
Followed the Law.
Inspector Beckett explained that
the Police Department followed the
law in this respect, but added: II
think 1t is a good thing
Representative Hebert next oues-
toned the inspector about a state
ment he made last Friday to the
effect that only 8 or 10 officers had
been dismissed for ineficiency in
the last IL years.
Scanning through some papers in
front of him the inspector said the
total number was 100
You told me the other Gay that
only or 10 had been dropped" Mr..
Hebert said.
Inspector Beckett explained that
his original statement was correct
and that the 100 represented the
total number of officers dismissed
