District Police Form
Hotel Squad; Eight
|Men Transferred ....

Formation of a new hotel squad
and transfers Of eight members of
the Police Department were an
nounced yesterday by Inspector
Robert j. Barrett, chief Of de-
tectives. The new squad will be
commanded by 1t. Harry Blackman
The>need for the hotel squad re-
Gently was emphasized in the case
Of Joseph D. Medley, who now
awaits trial on a charge of first
degree murder in tho staying of
Mrs. Nancy Boyer, who was found
shot to death March in her apart
ment at 2120 Sixteenth street NV.
Lived at Hotel Here.
Inspector Barrett admitted to re-
porters before Medley was arrested
In st. Louis that District detectives
had received information from
Michigan authorities to the effect
that Medley was living in District
hotel before the murder. A check
was made by detectives, but they
were unable to locate Medley at the
hotel, because he was registered un-
der the name of Larry Fisher.
Inspector Barrett said that if he
had had the signature of Medley
and a photograph of the suspect, it
would have expedited Medley's ar
rest before the murder because he
was a fugitive from Michigan
authorities. AS such, Medley auto
matically would have been a suspi-
cious person and Immediately would
have come under the surveillance of
detectives If the hotel squad had
been in operation at that time.
Besides the hatel squad, 1t
Blackman is also the officer in
charge of the special investigations
squad and the Missing Persons
Bureau.

Communists Score
Sweeping Gains in
French Elections
By the Associated Press.

PARIS, May 1.-The Communist
party made sweeping gains In Sum
days French municipal elections,
the tabulation Of more than 15,000,-
600 votes showed yesterday, but po-
ntical analysts were cautions about
conceding that the nation as .
whole had gone Communist"
The trend toward the Leftist move.
ment, however, was undeniable.
BY last night returns had been
received from all but the most re-
mote provincial areas.
A breakdown of the figures in
dicated the Communists had won
nearly Is per cent of the estimated
total vote of 100000. Less than
l per cent of the electorate indorsed
Communist candidates in 1885 when
the last previous French municipal
elections were held.
Socialists and that group Of
parties Jumped together under the
heading of resistance organiza-
tions" also polled substantial sup
port. The latter blocs sprang from
the erstWhile French underground
movement and can be classified as
Leftists.
Criticism Of De Gaulle.
The Leftist trend was interpreted
by most observers as criticism of
some Of the policies Of the De Gaulle
government - silent because the
election was purely municipal and
did not directly reflect the nations
attitude toward any national issues.
Not all of the sweeping economic
reforms proposed by Gen. De Gaulle
and his associates prior to their re-
turn to France have been carried
out.
The Communists demands for
quick trial and execution of Marshal
Henri Philippe Petain were con-
sidered to have been an element in
their success at the polls. The Com
munist party was the only one to
make Petain's case an election
issue"
Government circles, however, were
inclined to minimize the importance
of the Communists statistical VIC
tory. They said Is per cent total
of the vote would not give the party
control of a quarter Of all municipal
councils in France.
Women Affect Trends.
French women, voting for the first
time in the country's history, also
affected the trends. The experts
said they appear to have voted al
most solidly for those parties advo-
eating quick economic change.
The traditional gallantry Of
Frenchmen toward women was a
little strained.
Somebody-it might have been q
defeated candidate-went around
Paris chalking up walls with the
slogans down with women voters
and beware of petticoat govern
ment"
The small northern town OF
Echigey has a complete matriarcha1
government. Ten women ran on q
single ticket and somehow that
ticket won. The defeated masculine
candidates are demanding . re.

No Mentioning of Himmler Bids.
The Prime Minister indicated a
peace announcement not only might
precede final surrenders, but that
such surrenders might not be worth
