SIDE LIGHTS OF
NEW YORK CITY
Told By L. L. Stevenson in
His Own Immical Way
of Doings in City
INTERESTING SKETCHES

The open road is beckoning to
New York's colony of pitchmen,
those sidewalk merchants whose
business establishment is keister
(grip) on tripod. New York is
always a profitable field for pitch
men since New Workers will buy
just about anything sold on the
street, even watches without works.
It's no trouble at all to attract tip
"a crowd of possible customers but
there is drawback. A cop is liable
to appear and chase the tip just
when high pressure craftsmanship is
about to be applied. Also most pitch
men are gypsies at heart and like
a change of scene. Hence with the
coming of warm weather, many are
on their way. They follow no set
routes but fit here and there, always
in search of places where they may
"get the geedus," or gather in the
coin in case you may need trans
1ation.
A loosely knit fraternity are these
nomads of the keister and the tri-
pod. For their benefit, the Bill
board" each week has a column of
"Pipes" In which pitchmen report
from here and there. Here is
sample communication from re-
cent issue: Territory around jack
son, Miss, is n. G. according to
word from George Sanders who has
been working hoops and blocks to
draftees. Sanders says he plays the
post Office lobby and gets the boys
as they come in for money orders
as he knows they have money then.
He saw H. L. Bird and brother in
Hattiesburg, Miss, working wire
jewelry and says he will beat them
north in the spring. Sanders says
to Bob Posey: I don't see how
fellow could get sick with all the
big med men out in Texas unless
it's that country you're in that
makes you SICK

survivors were from a torpedoed
British freighter, not a battleship."
, On July 10, the Italians issued an
other communique giving precise
details" of how the same submarine
had sunk United States battleship
of the Mississippi class about 800
miles west of Freetown, Africa. The
communique said that four torpe-
does had crashed into the bow OF
the battleship and that crew men,
bers had seen her sink
The real story of that affair, the
British declared, is that British
corvette was known to be at this
particular place and she later re-
ported dodging four torpedoes fired
at her by an Italian submarine.
The very next day, for this exploit,
Hitler awarded Grossi Germanys S
Knights Cross of the Iron Cross,

lini then decorated his commander

LONDON, Oct. 30.-Authoritative
British sources, spiking the Axis
story OF torpedoing two United
States battleships, explained today
that what the Italians really had
hit-or tried to hit-were a British
freighter and a British corvette.
The explanation came just after a
Rome broadcast described the honors
heaped on Submarine Comdr. Enzio
Grossi, in recognition Of the 'laurels"
he had won in the Atlantic.
The first OF the battleship sinking
claims was made last May 20, when
the Italians said their submarine
Barbarigo had torpedoed and sunk
a United States battleship OF the
Maryland class off the Brazilian

Red Cross Chapter
Gen. Keefer to Remain
With Organization in
An Advisory Capacity

John Clifford Folger, president OF
the Folger, Nolan g. Co., investment
bankers, was elected chairman of
the District Chapter of the Amer
ican Red Gross this afternoon at
a meeting Of the Executive Com
mittee following the resignation Of
Brig. Gen. Frank r. Keefer.
Gen. Keefer asked to be relieved
Of the active Craftsmanship Of the
organization because he felt that
with the increasing responsibilities
of the group younger man should
assume the burdens. However, he
will remain with the chapter in an
advisory capacity.
Active in Civic Affairs.
Mr.. Folger, a resident of the Dis
trict since 1929, has been active in
various civic affairs in Washington.
He served as chairman of the Com
munity Chest campaign last year.
He is a trustee of the Garfield Hos
pital and a member of the Ways
and Means Committee of the Wash
ington Cathedral.
Just recently he was elected di-
rector of the Empire Trust Co. of
New York. Mr.. Folger is also chair
man of the War Bond Committee
for the District and treasurer of the
Mayfower Hotel Corp. He is affili-
ated with the Metropolitan, Chevy
Chase and Alfalfa Clubs of Wash
ington.
Praises Gen. Keefer.
In accepting the Craftsmanship of
the District chapter, Mr.. Folger
said:
Il am not unmindful of the size
of the shoes I have just agreed to
try to fill. I would have been quite
reluctant to accept this flattering
honor had not been assured by
Gen. Keefer that I could call upon
him at any time for his advice and
counsel. After ALL he has built
one of the largest chapters in the
country and has behind him a fund
OF experience that I will have to
draw upon if I am to be even half
so efficient as he has been"
Gen. Keefer has controlled the
management of the Washington
chapter since 1890, following his re-
tlrement from the Army as Assist
ant Surgeon General. Under his
leadership special campaigns for
funds have been undertaken and
two War funds, in 1910 and 1941.

Flood Cut Oil Deliveries
To East by 9.4 Per Cent

The recent flood in the Potomac
River valley and Southern Virginia,
which disrupted rail traffic, resulted
in drop in the shipment of crude
oil to the East to 1928 barrels a
day during the week ending October
"a, 1t was announced today by Petro-
leum Co-ordinator Harold L. Ickes,
This was the lowest mark since
the week Of July 18 and represented
drop of 9.4 per cent below Ship
ments for the week ending Octo-
ber II.
The movement of loaded tank
cars into the East was retarded by
the flood and the return of empty
cars to the oil fields was similarly
held up. This indicates that Ship
ments during this week also will
be below normal.

~Huieht Confession Of
Attoek-Ki|Iine Reed;
Prisoner Won't Testify
: BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, Oct. 3d.
Edward Haight, II, leered and
grinned today at his trial for mur-
der as the State offered his con-
fession OF kidnapping, attacking and
killing the two little Lynch sisters
of Bedford Village. t*<
The confession read today was the
first of three the State said was
given by Haight to District Attorney
Ebert T. Gallagher and Chief of
Police Frank R. Mallette in Bed
ford township police headquarters
after he was arrested for Staying the
sisters-Margaret Lynch, 7, and
Helen, 8, who innocently accepted
a lift from Haight on main high
way near their home on the evening
Of September IA.
Patrick Lynch, father of the two
children, sat IN the. courtroom stern
ly' calm and averted his eyes from
the defendant. Haight smiled when
the confession referred to attacks
on his victims, and smirked at the
jury when details of how he killed
the children were read into the
record by Assistant District Attor-
ney John Dillon.
In the confession, Haight told au-
thorities he had stolen station
wagon and started out for a joy
ride with a gas-ration book, also
stolen. He said he started for Bed
ford village, about IL miles away
from Stamford in the late after
noon.
He said he threw the body of Mar
garet into Beaver Dam, near Bed
ford village, then drove to Armonk,
about eight miles away, with Helen,
who, he said, was still alive when he
ran the wheel Of the car over her
head to silence her outcries. He dis
posed of Helen's body in the Ken
sico reservoir, to which he led po-
lice who found it.
To questions as to whether he
fully realized his crime, Haight
answered "Yes" In all OF his con-
fessions, Mr.. Dillon said.
After the confessions had been
put in evidence the State rested.
The defense said that Haight would
not take the stand when the trial is
resumed Monday.
