Hat Found Near Scene
OF Attack on Girl, IS,
Fits Suspect 10 a 7
Blood Stoins Discovered
On Clothing Of Man
Seized Soon After Crime

A white hat found near the scene
of the criminal assault of l5-year-
old girl in Rock Greek Park today
was found to fit to a T" a colored
suspect picked up soon after the
crime was reported, according to
Detective Francis Gavers of No. Il
precinct. Tests by Deputy Coroner
Richard Rosenberg. the detective
said. disclosed blood stains on the
mans clothing.
The suspect, who is 38 years old
was being held for investigation at
No. II precinct. Police said he would
be placed in a lineup when the girl
has recovered sufficiently from ner-
vousness and shock to attempt to
identify him. Police arrested a total
of 10 men within an hour of the re-
port of the assault and the girl saw
six of them during the afternoon
She had not seen the suspect at No
II late today The mans wife was
brought to the precinct for ques-
tioning in an effort to check on hel
husbands movements.
The attack on the girl. daughter oi
a Government official, occurred near
Sixteenth street and Rock Greek
Ford road shortly before noon.
On Way to Riding Academy.
Police seized 10 suspects withir
an hour, but released three after
brief questioning. The girl saw six
of the remaining men held. but
failed to identify any of them. The
seventh was still being held at No
II precinct.
The girl told police she was er

teenth street and Rock Greek ForC
road when she was grabbed by the
man, who bound her hands and
dragged her off the roadway.
She went to the academy and

acting suspiciously.' The arrest
was made S minutes before the at
tack. lookout was broadcast.
Carried Bottle of Wine.
The girl told police her attacker
was dressed in a tan slack suit and
white straw sun hat. She said he
was carrying a bottle of wine.
The description of the man tai
lied in many respects with that OF
a man sought in connection with
an attempted assault on a young
woman in the same vicinity less
than 10 days ago. In that instance,
police were informed, the intended
victim was successful in fighting off
the man, who fled with her pocket
book. This attack also occurred in

parently was headed for a straight

Senate 0verrides
RooseveIt's Veto Of
Highway Program
S320,000,0 900 Measure
Approved by Vote
Of 81 to 19

The Senate overrode today Presi-
dent Roosevelt's veto of S32o, 600
900 road program.
The vote was 81 to 10. A two
thirds majority in both houses is
necessary to override veto. The
veto now will be considered by the
House.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
of Michigan upheld the Presidents
action in debate, while two Demo-
crats-McKella of Tennessee and
Hayden of Arizona-successfully de-
manded that the Senate override it.
Il do not wish to prejudice the
Presidents case by defending him
from the Republican side of the
aisle" Senator Vandenberg declared. /.
Il am sure he would feel he had
fallen upon evil days if he had to
rely on the Senator from Michigan.
But this is one case where he is
eternally right"
Apportioning Questioned.
Senators McKellar and Hayden
had argued that a provision OF the
measure authorizing the apportion-
ment of $125, 900 600 to the States
for strategic" highways was neces-
sary if needed defense roads were
to be constructed throughout the
country. In his veto message the
President questioned the desirability
of the apportionment method for
the construction of such roads. He
originally had requested SIS, ,000, 900,
which would be allocated for any
specific construction he deemed
necessary.
Underneath all this wordy devo-
ton to the principle of apportion-
ment," Senator Vandenberg declared,
''there lies one simple fact = the
President says he can do for $25,-
100000 without apportionment what
this bill would do for $125, 900 900. y
Senator Mcclellan told his col
leagues:
IF this measure is enacted these
defense highways will be built. II
