New Suspect Quizzed
In Strieff Murder
Called Best Yet
New York Detectives
Search in Bronx Case ' 90,
Leeds to D. {. Man ;

Three weeks of painstaking work
by New York detectives. searching
for a sex slayer who struck in the
Bronx early this month, provided
Washington police today with what
they described as the best suspect
yet in the Strieff murder.
A 36-year-old colored man was
being questioned at police head
quarters following his arrest early
today by Washington detectives, who
were acting on information devel-
oped by plain-clothesmen from New
York
Acting Chief of Detectives Ira
Keck said circumstantial evidence
indicated strongly that the man was
a sex killer and said he may be the
man who attacked and strangled
Betty Strieff, War Department
worker, here in June.
The New York detectives began
their search for the man on August
4, when the body of Mrs. Evelyn D.
Andersen, 26, was found in a garage
In the Bronx. She had been strangled
and attacked.
Wrist Watch Traced.
Detectives discovered that a wrist
watch which she owned had been
taken from the body. They OBJ
tanned a description of the watch
and a short time later it was To-
Gated in a pawn shop.
They found the man who pawned
it, but he said he obtained it from
some one else. At length, the watch
was traced to a colored man who
lived here in the TOO block of E
street NV.
Last night, Washington Detective
Sergts Richard Cox, Fred Rawlin-
son and Curtis Trammell set up a
vigil in the neighborhood and early
today they arrested him.
The man was brought. to head
quarters about 8:45 am. and was
questioned by New York and WASH
ington police. The results of the
questioning were not disclosed.
Auto Searched for Clues.
His automobile was seized by
Washington police and Capt. Keck
said it would be examined to deter
mine whether any blood stains or
other clues could be found.
Capt. Keck pointed out that the
man fitted exactly" the description
given by several colored women who
had been attacked here during the
last two years by man who gained
admission to their homes on the
pretext of renting a room.
The circumstances of the Bronx
murder were similar to the Strieff
case here. In both cases the vic
Tins had been lured or forced into

BERLIN, Aug. 28.-Some German
troops are within 80 miles of Lenin-
grad, German spokesman said
late today.
German forces are moving toward
that second largest city from the
west, south and southeast, he said,
while Finnish troops are "contin-
ually gaining ground" across the
Karelian ISthmus from the north.
The nearest location to Leningrad
was not disclosed.
The Finnish encirclement of
Viipuri only large town on the
isthmus north of Leningrad. has
contributed to difficult situation"
for the imperiled Russian city, he
added.
This statement came as DNB,
official German news agency, said
that on the southern front masses
of Russian infantry attempted to
cross back to the west bank Of the
lower Dnieper River and were
chopped down by German artillery
on shore.
Bloody Losses Reported.
There were extremely bloody
losses among infantry companies
drawn up in preparation for the
crossing" the news agency said.
D.N:B. also said, Russians on the
lower Dnieper tried to shell Ger
man positions on the west bank
from river boats, but that artillery
fire drove them of and set one of
their tugboats and monitor on
fire.
Wilhelmstrasse sources said Ger
man troops had taken most OF
Northern Estonia and "a decision is
near" on the Gulf of Finland.
"Tallinn and the Russian naval
base of Paldiski baltic porD will
fall in a short time, it is assumed,
leaving only the islands of Oesel
and Dagoe and the port of Hango
in Russian possession" they said.
German forces pursuing retreating
Russians east of Gomel on the CEN
tral front captured 1900 prisoners
today as two mechanical divisions
ploughed deeply into Red columns,

BY the Associated Press.
VERSAILLES. Occupied
France, Aug. 28.-Authorities Of
German-occupied France made a
sweeping roundup of enemies to
the regime today in the wake OF
the Laval-Deat assassination at
tempt and by midafternoon had
placed more than 300 persons in
protective custody" some of them
from the very ranks of the newly
modified Anti-Bolshevist Legion.
In Paris, the first three so-called
Communists to be convicted by spe-
cial courts were guillotined. They
were condemned to death yesterday
for alleged misdeeds not connected
with the Laval shooting 1t was in
dicated they were condemned for the
assassination of German oftcer IN
Paris a few days ago.
Authorities apparently feared that
the Anti-Bolshevist Legion, formed
to fight Russia alongside Germany,
contains many more members who,
like Pierre Laval's youthful assassin,
Paul Colette, had joined purposely
to be able to get at the French
leaders favoring strong collabora-
ton with Germany.
Both Seriously Wounded.
Todays arrests were made in
Paris and Versailles while both
Laval and Marcel Deaf lay seriously
ill in hospitals with grave bullet
wounds.
Colette. ship stalker and
acknowledged follower of Gen.
Charles de Gaulle, was rushed to-
ward trial before one of the special
anti Communist courts just set up
by the French. Informed circles
said the opening of the trial was
"a matter of hours" ~. ~.
These said also that 1t was evident
that Colette had been pushed into
the attack by Communist-De Gaul-
list Free French) elements"
1t was at a mobilization OF the
legion yesterday that Colette. posing
as a recruit, shot the pro-Nazi Laval
Deaf, old-time appeaser, and two
others.
The red-headed Colette frankly
told an investigating magistrate this
morning that he was very glad he
had hit the collaborationist poll
ticians.
Doctors were hopeful they could
save the lives of both Laval and
Deaf, who were gravely wounded.
Preventive Arrests.
In Paris, outright opposition ele-
mentS were being rounded UP in
what were called preventive arrests
in order to keep the Versailles shoot
ings from serving as a signal for
general disorder.
Here in Versailles heavy guard
was thrown about the barracks
where the shootings occurred.
The three men executed this
morning were Andre Brechet. an
electrician who formerly was secre-
tary to a Communist deputy, Emil
Jean Bastard a militant Communist
and a Russian, Abraham Trzebruche
Lucien Sampaix, noted Communist
Journalist and former secretary
general of the Paris Communist
newspaper L Humanite, who escaped
from a concentration camp in the
Department of Hautes Alpes, in the
occupied zone, was sentenced to life
Imprisonment at nard labor.
Three others, Pierre Lanant, Ber-
nard Friedman and Leon Ladon-
deau. were sentenced respectively to
Is, 10 and 7 years at hard labor.
Three more were sentenced for dis
tributing Communist tracts.

"'Flirther changes in the tax bin
designed to add another S400, 100000
to the present total of $500, 900 900
are understood to have been laid
before the Senate Finance Com
fnittee today by subcommittee that
worked overnight to. find new rev.
ehue sources.
Although the program was not
made public pending action BY the
full committee, one proposal is said
to be a l per cent increase in the
corporation surtaX rates. If adopted
this would make The rate instead
of per cent on the first s25 900
of corporate income and instead
of 6 per cent on the balance. Some
of the added revenue is expected to
come also from new excise levies.
The subcommittee. composed OF
Senators Brown, Democrat, of Mich
igan and Danaher. Republican, of
Connecticut. reported its finding TO
the full committee after a four-hour
session devoted to developing new
sources of revenue.
When the committee recessed for
lunch it had not acted on the last
minute new taxes but hoped to do so
this afternoon. 1t was learned, how
ever. that the subcommittee, in or
der to get q unanimous report be-
tween Treasury and congressional
experts. submitted its recommended
tions on an "all-or- none" basis.
Postponement Refused.
In other words, the subcommit-
tee is recommending several contro-
yersial new rates, with the under
standing that if some are reject
ed, the others should be also.
The only definite action taken at
the morning session was to reject a
motion to postpone until the next
tax bill the new provision placing
the eight community property States
on an equality with other States
in computing the income tax OF mar
ried couples.
Senator Connally, Democrat, from
Texas, one of the eight States af-
fected, led the fight for postpone
ment. After refusing to postpone 1t
beyond this bill, the committee put
off until tomorrow a new vote on
the merits of the issue. Senator
Connally is seeking to have the
committee reverse it's action Of two
days ago in seeking to prevent hus-
bands and wives from dividing their
property for Federal tax purposes
in those States that have community
property laws.
Earlier the Finance Committee
heard a plea from Senator Downey,
Democrat, of California for some
recognition of his more liberal old
age pension plan.
