ST. Louis Companion
.0f Medley Due Here
To Testify Monday

The st. Louis woman who was
with Joseph D. Medley when
Federal Bureau of Investigation
agents arrested him has been
subpoenaed to testify here Mon
day before the grand jury hear
ing the case against the 43-year-
old prisoner for the murder of
Mrs. Nancy Boyer, it was learned
today.
The woman-whose identity so
far has been shrouded in mystery
will be asked to testify in connection
with the fur jacket, believed to be
Mrs. Boyer's, which FBI agents
found in Medley's Jefferson Hotel
suite. According to police, Medley
had been trying to persuade the
woman to sell the jacket for him.
Described by the FBI only as "an
attractive ST. Louis woman whom
Medley befriended on March 12,"
the woman was held temporarily in
hotel room in St. Louis, accom-
panied by police matron, but
has been released. No charges were
placed against her
Medley was quoted at the time
OF his arrest as saying, Don't ar
rest her. She had nothing to do
with this. She's a grandma
Presumably on Way Here.
DR.. j. H. Elder, the War Depart
ment psychologist credited by police
with the tip that led to Medleys ar
rest, said he had seen Medley in the
bar of the jefferson Hotel in St.
Louis on March 13 with an attrac-
lively dressed woman with gray hair
whom he judged was about 40 years
old.
1t was learned that the woman al
ready has been served with the sub
poena by United States marshal
in st. Louis and presumably is on
her way here
Also subpoenaed was the hotel
clerk, who, it was understood, will
be asked to identify Medleys sigma
ture. According to the FBI, Medley
registered in st. Louis as James H
Haman.
United States Attorney Edward M.
Curran earlier said some more out
of-town witnesses would testify
Monday. but refused to disclose
their identity.
PawnbrOker Testifies.
Two out-of-town witnesses testi- |
fled before the grand jury yester-
day. They were Samuel Levinson,
owner of Pittsburgh pawn shop, |
and his assistant, Mrs. Grace Trout
man.
Police say Mr.. Levinson has posi-
lively identified Medley as the man
who came into his shop March n
and again March to pawn an en-
erald and diamond ring believed to
have been Mrs. Boyer's. Mrs. Trout
man, according to police, was in the
shop March when Medley came in
looking for the proprietor and was
told to return the next day
The grand jury, it was learned, in
spected the ring, as well as the fur
jacket believed to have been Mrs.
Boyer's.
Mr. C;.rran said he would COM
plete his presentation Monday and
the grand jury probably would make
a special return on the case Tues
day. If Medley is indicted, Mr. Cur
ran said, he will be arraigned next

Commissioner Guy Mason said yes
terday that he would recommend
closing of the hospital unless we
can find some tuberculosis use for it. =
Mr.. Mason charged that number
of convaleScent tuberculosis pa
tients-perhaps as many as 30-are
working outside the hospital, coming
in at night and using it as Mills

Health Officer George C. Rutland
said that all patients who can go

or to the general public" will be sent.
He said, however, there was need of
Upshur Street as convalescent hos

tuberculosis were awaiting admission
to Glenn Dale Sanitorium and that
it was proposed to shift some from
Glenn Dale to Upshur Street if
possible to make room for those
awaiting admission.
Cneck Under Way.
Revealing that a check is being
made to find out if any of the
IS patients at the hospital still are
in a communicable phase of the
disease, Mr.. Mason said that those
who are not communicable should
be sent home and receive clinical
treatment.
Mr.. Mason made his comments
after published reports that the Ma
tional Capital Parks and Planning
Commission was impressed with the
possibilities involved in the tuber-
culosis hospital grounds and may
re-examine plans drawn some time
ago for recreation center there.
The Commissioner said he was
not going to give any one prop
erty, particularly the Federal Gov
ernment, until We know whether
we have any use for it. We might
trade Upshur Street for a good
site"
The hospital was opened in 1943,
after renovation costs of $4,000,
and it costs 100000 year to operate.
The hospital came into the lime
light recently when five colored
nurses and the head nurse were fired
as result of failure to report for
work after submitting their resig-
nation. The head nurse was dis

petence.

Mr.. Mason said he was not certain
how many of the patients worked all
day or part time. He said that if the
patients were able to work they
should be sent home and be treated
at clinics and not receive free board
and medical care" at the hospital.
If any of the patients are in a
stage, Mr.. Mason said
it might be necessary to keep them
at Upshur Street until such time as
Glenn Dale Sanatoriulm can take
them. Because of the severe man.

was necessary last year to limit the
Institution to emergency cases and
some patients from Glenn

al to Upshur Street. An intensive |

The check of patients at Upshur

Criminal Files Bureau
May Be Created for
ID. {. Municipal Court

Plans for recommending installa-
ton of a criminal records bureau
in Municipal Court, superseding the
present system of depending on
police officers to go to headquarters
for the record of each defendant
who comes up in court, are being
formulated for presentation to the
Commissioners.
Nathan Lubar, head of special
committee OF the Commissioners
traffic advisers, which is now probing
possibilities for setting up such a
court record system, said he be-
lieved the plan would be submitted
within month.
IT think we definitely will recon-
ment to the Commissioners viola
tions bureau which will give rec
ord of each traffic offender for use by
judges in imposing sentence" Mr..
Lubar said "Of course, until man
is found guilty his record is not con-
sidered."
Present System "Slipshod."
Assistant United States Attorney
John B. Diamond III, head of the
district attorneys office at Municipal
Court, described the present system
as "slipshod"
when case comes up we ask the
police officer to 60 to headquarters,
two blocks away, for the defendants
record" Mr. Diamond said. IF he
feels like it he can just go outdoors,
walk around the block and come back
and say the man has no record. We
have no way of checking"
Mr.. Diamond said he recently
made a trip to Detroit where such
a system as the one proposed here is
now in effect. After comforting with
court and police officials he said he
considered the system most satisfac-
tory. He has presented his findings
to the Commissioners traffic ad-
visers.
When these records are kept by
the court" he pointed out, there is
no chance that the record will be
overlooked, and it reduces the chance
for error"

Stephen Early Leaves
White House After
Il Years Of Service
BY J. A. FOX.

Stephen T. Early, longtime asso-
ciate of the late President Roose-
welt, left the White House today
after more than IL years service.
For most of that time Mr.. Early
q veteran member of Washington s
newspaper corps, was in charge of
press relations. In later monJns, un-
der President Truman, he has been
special assistant to the President.
Mr.. Early is becoming vice presi-
dent Of Pullman, Inc, with Offices
in Washington, tomorrow. His resig-
nation was pending at the time of
Mr.. Roosevelt's death.
In acknowledging Mr.. Early's
formal resignation, the President
told him:
you know that it is no mere po-
liteness for me to say that I hate to
see you go. During these recent diff
cult weeks you have been such a
help to me in getting acclimated to
my new duties ands responsibilities
that I shall miss you very much
officially as we'll as personally.
Made Task Easier.
"You have given me the benefit,
not only of your long experience in
the White House, but of your innate
wisdom and sound judgment and
am sure that, without you, my task
would have been much more difi-
cult. fs---- =
"The quality and quantity of your
work during the past IL years are
we'll known to all of us who have
been in Washington. 1 know from
the lips of President Roosevelt how
much you meant to him, and how
much he relied upon you. And
now I know from personal expert
ence how greatly your assistance
cooperation and association can
tighten the burdens of high Office.
The President recalled that Mr.,
Early had said he would be at his
call at any time and he told him
that you are to- be subjected to
frequent calls to help me in many
ways"
Tribute to Truman.
In his letter of resignation Mr..
Early expressed with deepest sim
cerity my thanks and apprecia-
ton for the privilege of serving you
and the late President Roosevelt. "
II would like to express my ad-
miration and respect for the courag-
eous, efficient and fortnight way
in which you have assumed your
new and burdensome responsible
ties" he added.
Mr.. Early also paid tribute to
press and radio representatives as
signed to the White House, saying
that never during the years of my
service has one of them ever re-
vealed a confidence or violated a
| trust

end was Cushing. An hour later,
he was escorted to the German
major commanding the camp and
asked in English whether he knew
the identity of the wire victim.
Gushing admitted that he did and
the major threatened that if he
ever spoke about it he would be
shot Immediately.
On leaving the barracks, Cush-
ing heard the major ask his guard
whether he understood English. The
man said no and the major replied:
Thank your lucky stars, because if
you had you would never have left
this room alive"
Other Victims Held.
Weeks and months passed in the
dreary monotony of the camp. Then
in September of the same year new
victims arrived at the special Sec
ton Of Oranienburg. These included
Admiral De Angels and two other
members Of the italian military staff
in Berlin, who had refused to recog-
nize Benito Mussolini's new Fascist
government and, despite their diplo-
matte privileges had been confined
as war prisoners.
The nearby barracks were occu-
pied by two Russian generals and
two colopels and few Britons, in
cluding Maj. Bigelow Dodge, who is
now safely back home, and Capt. p.
M. Churchill, cousin of the British
Prime Minister and French Maquis
hero. Gushing was still there too.
Gushing related the story of
Stalin's sons fate confidentially to
Admiral de Angels. The admiral
does not know whether he told any
one else. Now that the war is over
and the Oranienburg inmates are
either safe or dead, he feels no
longer bound by his bond with
Gushing.
He wonders, however, why the
only eyewitness Of the tragedy re-
mained silent so long, and thinks
perhaps Gushing finally had to pay
"the price" for his knowledge.

Army heroes who came back home
from the war in Europe on Memo
rial Day.
The 49-year-old commander Of
the 18th Army Group in Italy was
hailed by hundreds Of thousands
who lined the 15-mile parade route
from the Municipal Airport to the
city's Loop.
For the tall, bronzed general,
hero Of the North African and Ital-
ian campaigns, the flight from Italy
to Chicago was in the nature Of a
homecoming for Chicagoans. They
claimed him as native son and
gave him welcoming which high
lighted the city's holiday observ-

nearby Fort Sheridan when the
general was a boy attending school
in suburban Highland Park.

Agreement by Allies
On Occupation Zones
Believed Completed
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SUPREME ALLIED HEAD
QUARTERS, Paris, May 81
Moscow's disclosure yesterday
that an inter-Allied control
council for Germany will meet
within a few days was inter-
preted today as an indication the
four powers had agreed on zones
Of occupation and were ready to
carry out details.
There seemed reason to believe
they were ready to set up headquar-
ters. probably in Berlin.
The Moscow announcement, which
apparently took supreme headquar.
ters by surprise, said the Russian
representative on the commission
would be Marshal Gregory X. Zhu-
kov, victor Of Berlin. The American
representative, the broadcast said
would be Gen. Eisenhower; the Brit
ish, Field Marshal Montgomery, and
the French, Gen. Jean de Lattre de
Tassigny.
Such meeting would be historic
IN many ways. It would mark the
first meeting of Gen. EisenhcW n
with his Russian counterpart. 1t
also would be the first time the
military leaders of the four powers
had met personally to confer on
common problems. Previously ne
gotiations had been carried out by
joint chiefs Of staff in Washington
No one in authority at supreme
headquarters was able to give any
information on details Of the meet
ing-when it would take place OF
what would be discussed.
It was believed here that the Rus
slams had made their radio anounce-
ment without previously notifying
the Allies Of their readiness to sci
up this council.
One point under consideration ha.
been the outlining of a French oc.
cupation zone in Berlin. This detail
now apparently has been worked out
But there was no word available
here on whether this would NEAR
immediate occupation of the Ger.
man capital by the four powers.
Thus far the Allies have stayee
just about where the war had LEFT
them, although British and Amer.
ican officers had elaborate maps
prepared for the Russians, delineat.
ing their plan to withdraw and lei
the Soviet forces take over certain
areas.
It was believed here that meet.
ings Of the council would be at ir.
regular intervals, and that they
would chart the policy which woulc
be carried out by actual armies o1
occupation.
