had a bank account previous 10
the weekend following the muir
der. when they opened this &C
count with a deposit of $40!
Yet they denied they knew any

Asked where he got the
money. the Mexican replied:

bent forward eagerly. "but I
can tell you what he looks like"
He gave a detailed description

claimed he had sold large

handed him these bills.

Patrolman Rowden located a

Couldn't Find Weapon

had failed to locate the weapon.
and the murderer had left no
clue To his identity.
Questioning among close
neighbors revealed that Nose
had obtained some $500 the
day before in order 10 cash his
patrons checks.
Patrolman Rowden attended
the funeral OF the victim and
recognized one Of the chief
mourners! he remembered see
ing the man some months ago
in the police station, when he
had been hauled in for robbing
Nose of $500!
Curious coincidence. thought
Rowden, and he tucked the item
away in his mind for future ref
erence. He remembered also
that Nose had failed to prose-
cute the thief because the two
were good friends!
The police visited the banks
in all cities OF this area and
were rewarded by the discovery
in an East St. Louis bank OF
several bills on which there
were definite traces of blood
Stains. The teller stated the
money had been deposited by
Mexican and his wife who OPP
Grated a grocery store In Gran

Nab Chief Mourner

Once more the two instituted
a search of the room in which
they had found the silver dol
lars. Questioning other board
ers, they learned that the room
was occupied by Sarkis Yapalu-

ALSO remember We found the
tavern doors bolted from the in
side and wondered how the
thief had gotten out Of the
place: There was no need for
him TO get out OF the place-he
lived there"
When Yapalumian was To-
Gated. Odum and Row d e n
gaSped in surprise.
"A clear case" said Odum
laconically. He answers the
Mexican's description perfectly"
Rowden agreed.
Yapalumian, az. who had
come from Armenia with his
friend Nose. was grilled con-
tinuously for three days before
he finally confessed to the
crime:
Eyes, I killed him. knew

In my room until I was sure he
was alone. Then I went down

allowed 10 rest a while, Odum
commanded:

Wilbur H. Burnham, designer
Of the window, said last night
that the revision would have to
be made before the window was
installed in the chapel at the
Virginia Navy base.
Burnham said the window
"has caused considerable con-
troversy, but that he had had
no adverse criticisms fro m
members Of the Roman Catholic
faith; in fact the window has re-
ceived high praise"
The designer explained he had
informed Rev. E. M. Conover,
director of the Interdenomina-
ton Bureau of Architecture, that
because the theme of the win
dow has offended certin church
groups he had been asked to
eliminate the destroyer escort in
the arms of Mary and place it by
figure of the Christ Child.
The idea for the window was
given to me by the Roman Cath

this particular chapel" Burn
ham said, land l personally feel
that the idea we endeavored to
express was misinterpreted by
those who are offended by the
introduction of the destroyer

FiSIl-Farlll
DAY IS FORESEeN WHEN
FARMERS MAY GROW
FISH

WASHINGTON, March % -
(P)-Discovery by government
scientists that mullet, a salt-Wa-
ter fish of great abundance, will
thrive in fresh water may revo-
lutionize the practise of growing
fish as a food crop in farm fish
ponds.
The fish and wildlife service
announcing this today, said ex-
periments at its laboratory in
Beaufort, N. c., show an aston
ishingly high" production of
about 5000 pounds of mullet per
pond-acre in two years, COM
pared with a normal two-year
production in well-managed
fish pond of about 400 pounds
an acre.
This is believed to be the first
time in this country that the
transfer of substantial quantity
of relatively-large saltwater
fish to fresh water has been ac-
complished, though it has been
done successfully with aquarium
fishes. -
One reason given for the enor-
nous production per pond-acre
was that mullet eat microscopic
vegetation and it is unnecessary
to place in the ponds subsid-
larry species for them to feed
upon, as when such fish as black
bass are used for stocking the
farm fish ponds, the majority
of which are in the south.

- Organized labor's sincere
leaders" won praise from Wen
dell l.. Willkie last night but
the Republican presidential can
didate singled out one of labor S
chieftains whom he described as
arrogant" and whom he as

ranks.
Resuming his Wisconsin cam

the major part of his speech to
labor matters. After paying tri-
butte to sincere labor leaders
and war workers, he asserted
that labor must drive from its
ranks the arrogant leader, the
one who disregarded the COM
mon decencies in the relation
ships between labor, manage
ment and government-and |

There seemed little doubt that
Willkie was referring TO John
L. Lewis of the United Mine
Workers.
He asserted that labor also
"must drive from its leadership
those who have become cor
rupt," and should develop more
sense of responsibility in rela-
tionships with other elements Of
the social economy" There
should be, he added, "a move
ment in labor toward democra-
tization of labor itself"
In his tribute to labor, the
COP candidate lauded the mag
nificent story in this war of the
tremendous CO ntribution by
millions of war workers"
Organized labor has come
