In today. 1t was pointed out that
even should the coroner issue death
certificates, thus closing the case,
relatives of the deceased still could
demand an inquest.
To be considered with other evil

unused pistol and bottle of poison

The razor blade was believed used
by Millison in slashing his left wrist
after he locked himself in the room
and refused to admit police.

Mystery Of Deaths
OF 7 in Hotel Plunge
Probed by Coroner

An effort to penetrate the mystery
Of the double-death plung of Mrs
Dorothy Mahoney, 26. and Arthur
D. Millison, So, was initiated today
by Coroner A. Magruder MacDon-
old when he called a conference OF
homicide squad policemen and as
sistant coroners.
DR.. Macdonald said the confer
ence probably would determine
whether an inquest will be held be-
fore death. certificates are issued for
the couple who dropped early yes
terday morning from the ninth floor
OF the Lafayette Hotel, Sixteenth
and I streets NV.
Mrs. Mahoney, short story writer
and wife of an Army captain over
seas, was found dead on the roof OF
the one-story dining room projec-
ton of the hotel, her body fimsily
clad. Less than an hour later, after
police and flremen had failed tc
dissuade him, Millison plunged to
the roof, his scantily attired body
landing few feet from Mrs. Ma.

They registered at the hotel last
Saturday, as Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur
D. Millison of San Francisco. Sep.
arated from his wife and three
young sons for 10 months, he hac
told friends he was going to South
America yesterday. Mrs. Mahoney
and her 3-year-old daughter were
to have left for Germany soon tt
join Capt. Mahoney.
An unanswered enigma was
whether the attractive woman
leaped or was thrown from the
window. Detectives have scanned
notes found in the hotel room fol-
a clue. 1t was noted that blood drip
ping from a window sill was seer
by occupants of a room below. They
called police, who arrived while
Millison was still in the room.
Deputy Coroner Richard M. Rosen-
oerg performed an autopsy on Mrs.
Mahoney's body and said there was
no evidence whatsoever" to indicate
violence before the fall, which re-
suited in fractured skull, crushed
chest and multiple internal in
juries.
Four Notes Found.
Detectives said four notes found
in the room, three apparently writ

Fla, and the fourth obviously scrib-
bled shortly before his death, did
not indicate he was contemplating
suicide.
DR.. Macdonald said he wished to
talk to investigating detectives John

Civil Air Patrol Plans
For Future Studied
By Wing Commanders

The future of the Civil Air Patrol
was to be decided here today by
wing commanders from 48 States
after the Army Air Forces yesterday
announced partial withdrawal of its
wartime support to the auxiliary.
Gen. Carl Spaatz, who may sue
ceed Gen. H. H. Arnold as COM
mander of the AAF, last night sug-
gested that the CAP reform into a
nonprofit educational organization
to qualify for receiving surplus air.
craft and flight equipment at nomi-
nal cost for training young flyers
and ground crewmen.
1t was known, however, that many
officers of the CAP feel they never
had full War Department backing
during the war and now are reluc-
tant to accept the AAF's latest offer.
Army Proposals Considered.
The proposal, which was under
consideration by the wing COM
manders today, was said to include:
Use by the CAP of surplus AAF
landing fields and ground facilities,
not including flying equipment: use
of Regular Army fight instructors
for training young airmen enrolled
by the CAP and use of Army-owned
flying equipment now in CAP pos
session.
The Army, it was said, has with
drawn financial allowances for op-
Grating expenses.
Addressing a dinner rendered the
wing commanders by the Air Power
League, General Spaatz declared
the Army still is very much in need
of CAP services, and suggested the
organization affiliate. with the
league, organized by aircraft manu-
facturers to promote a. strong, uni
fed air force for national defense.
Tribute Paid to Record.
A tribute to the record of CAP
volunteers during four years of war
was paid by Lawrence Bell, president
of Bell Aircraft Corp, and member
of the leagues board. Mr.. Bell told
the dinner meeting at the Carlton
Hotel that CAP volunteers, serving
without pay, helped to train 200 900
persons, at least $4,000 of whom
later served In the armed forces.
Beginning a week before Pearl
Harbor with a handful of civil air.
men," Mr.. Bell said, "the CAP ex-
tended its activities into all 48
States. At the height of the sub
marine menace, it's members in
light planes armed with bombs
spent 16 months patrolling coastal
shipping lanes. They flew liaison
patrols, tested aircraft warning sys-
TENS, flew tow targets and tracking
missions, engaged in camoufage OBJ
servauon, carried out courier and
rescue operations, and gave pre-
flight training to thousands of
youths"
1t was pointed out that CAP
training services are especially
needed now in the absence of con-
gressional action on compulsory mil
ltary training for the youth of the
country.
