JACK THE RIPPER
LOOSE IN BRITAIN
Scotland Yard Mobiles
To Catch Killer After
Brutal Murders

LONDON, July 14-WH-For al
most the first time in this CEN
fury, Scotland Yard investigators
today used the words Jack the
Ripper when they described the
man who hacked to death beauti-
full Doreen Marshall, a 21-year-
old former Wren, whose body was
found in seaside Bournemouth last
Monday.
Every member of the famous
Scotland yard murder team, the
most brilliant in Europe and the
model for the entire continent, was
at work on unsolved killings, which
have reached the record total of
q. Most of them are crimes against
women.
And other top Scotland Yard Of
ficials were comforting daily to
draft a recruiting plan that would
attract 1000 new police to the
metropolitan and provincial forces
in the face of a surge Of violence
exceeding anything since 1918.
Certain grisly similarities be-
tween the murder of Mics Marshall
on her rehabilitation holiday and
OF Mar9ery Gardiner, a flambuoy-
ant film extra who was bound and
suffocated in a London hotel last
month, have interested police psy-
chiatrists.

Byrnes failed in two of his ma
jor detectives at Paris - to get
immediate consideration of an
Austrian peace treaty and to obtain
four-power agreement to fulfill the
Potsdam agreement for treatment
of Germany as an economic unit.
But he accomplished a third ma
jor objective - the calling of a
21-nation peace conference this
summer to consider peace treaties
for Germany's former satellites.
On the German question both
Byrnes and British Foreign Secre-
tary Ernest Bevin expressed will

ton between their German zones

The major compromise Byrnes
will have to "sell" here will be on
Trieste. The big four agreed not
to give it to either Italy or Yugo-
slavia but to internationalize it un-
der the protection of the United
Nations.
Byrnes' success in convincing the
American people that his compro-
misses were essential to establish
peace will depend a lot upon what
the two senators say. Both Connal-
ly and Vandenberg will report to
the Senate this week.
Byrnes' hand was strengthened
considerably after the last foreign

COLLECTION
+. CLOSES LOCALLY
Sponsor Drive For
Relief OF Famine
Stricken

Large quantities Of canned food
and $500 in money had been collec-
ted in the Junior Chamber OF Com
merce-sponsored collection OF food
for famine-ridden Europe, last
night.
A final report on the success of
the week of food collecting by the
local group was not available last
night, Jack Lee, chairman of the
Junior Chamber food drive, said.
The food will be shipped imme-
diately through proper UNRRA
channels, and the money which
was donated without solicitation,
will either be used to buy more
food, or sent to UNRRA for its
disposition.
Week-Long Drive
For the past seven days, the
group has had food receptacles
placed in the city's food stores,
and collection of this food was
made late Saturday.
Yesterday, the Wilmington Min
~isterial Association assisted in a
drive encompassing 80 of the
city's churches. Receptacles were
placed at the churches and collec-
ted following services yesterday
morning.
Although the drive officially
ended last night in the city, it
was understood that collections
were not complete.
Several retail stores and some
of the churches had asked that
the containers be left until this
morning.
Bigger Collection
The churches explained that
their attendance at night would
mean a bigger collection, by fur
Their donations.
The club initiated the drive for
food last Monday morning, start
ing with some food which had been
collected by the Shriners Drum
and Bugle Corps.
The Shriners had a week prev.

and when they learned the Junior
Chamber had been asked by the
national organization to conduct
the drive, turned over their collec.
tons to the Jaycees.
