NEW YORK MURDER
REMAINS MYSTERY

NEW YORK, June 10 U.D -
Manhattan detectives, up against
a BLANK WALL after seven days
investigation of the mysterious
Park Avenue murder of Albert
Langford, today began an inten-
sive search for the gun which kill
ed the prominent sales executive.
District Attorney Jacob Grurnet
said police probably would search
sewers under the city's most ex-
pensive downtown residential dis
trict on the chance that the muir
derer might have thrown the gun
away after shooting the 63-year-old
Langford in the foyer of the luxur-
ious seventh-foor apartment which
he shared with his wife, Mrs.
Marion Langford.
Seventy-five pc S n S.. many
prominent in New York theatrical
and cafe society circles, already
had been questioned. Some IS
more were still to appear before
police but Grumet admitted that
his office was without a definite
lead
Il have ideas of my own re-
garding the motive and who might
have killed him but I don't want
to discuss them noW," Grumet
said.
Grumet said that man known
as Chief Robert Redwing would
probably arrive in New York from
Washington tomorrow to tell what
he knew of the Langfords and
their acquaintance.

Treasury Reveals Story
OfGern1an Spies In u. S.

WASHINGTON, June TO- B-
For SO years New Workers filed
past the musty little bookshop of
B. Westermann, in midtown Man
haitian, stopping perhaps to browse
over its sidewalk bookstalls, or
tc buy first edition.
Now it is closed, and the Treas
ury today told why
For Is years-since 1926-it was
one of Germany's most valuable
sources of U. S. military informa-
ton, telling the Germans what
kind of guns this country was
making. how fast American planes
would fly, how big hole an
American bomb could make in the
Wilhelmstrasse.
These activities came to light in
June, 1941, when the Treasury
stopped ut-of-the-country mailing
of books and other literature.
Westermann' asked special per-
mission to continue mailings.
The Treasury did some investi-
gazing ana tnlS was the StoIy IL
unravelled:
Ernest Eisele, president of the
company, was a native German
and a naturalized American cltl-
zen as were three of the directors
of B. Westermann, Inc. The State
Department found that for years,
directors and officials of B. Wes-
termann's had been making fire:
quent trips to Germany.
The Treasury found, too, that
since 1926 the firm had lost $4,000
annually but that Eisele had re-
ceived from German stockholders
bonuses totalling 100000. His ex-
PLANTATION was that he had obtained
less expensive quarters for the
bookshop and the stockholders were
grateful.

ALLIED SUB TOLL
REPORTED AT 7l3

WASHINGTON, June 10.-R -
Germany lost an average of one
submarine by sinking every three
days between September 3, 1899
and May 8, 1s45, official records
disclosed today
A total of 713 U-boats was SUNK
during the war by United States,
British and Allied forces during
that period Of roughly SO months.
A joint announcement by the u.
5. Navy and the British Admiralty
credited Isl sinkings to U. S. forces
and other Allied forces, except
those of the British Empire, under
U. 5. control; and 462 to British
Empire and other forces, except
those of the United States, under
British control.
In addition, at least 100 are now
known to have been destroyed by
mines and other causes.
T h e announcement explained
that in the destruction of some OF
the German U-boats, combined U.
s., British or Allied forces received
joint credit, and shore based and
carrier borne air forces cooper
ated, which resulted in fractional
designation.
The final tabulation covered all
German U-boats sunk in all waters.
The U-505, captured intact by U.
5. forces last year. was not in
cluded in the total.
The announcement also identi-
fled as the Herring the submarine
credited with. the only sinking by
U. S. submarine of an enemy u
boat. British and British controll-
ed forces sank Is P-boats in sub
versus sub actions.
Sinkings of Italian or other Axis
submarines were not included in
the total.
