Sergt. Greenwalt, according to the
ballistios experts.
Detective Sergts. Thomas Harty

All three are expected to be ex-

Sergt. Sullivan, who was shot

Laughlin died under the blazing
guns of detectives, was sufficiently
recovered to attend the inquest.
Before he fell fatally wounded
Mclaughlin fired at least twice at
eight detectives pursuing him.
Police spoilers had been on the
lookout for Mclaughlin since few
hours after the Rosenberg killing for
two reasons, according to Inspector
Barrett: the Rosenberg home had

Bv the Assccioted Press

ANKARA, Aug. 24.-The Turk

that it was having "diff1culties
in understanding Soviet appre-
tensions" with regard to the
Dardanelles, has rejected fatty
Russia's demands for joint de-
fense of the strategic strait and
for narrowing control of that
vital waterway to Black Sea

MOSCOW. Aug. 24-Maxim M
Litvinoff, former Soviet foreign
commissar and Ambassador to the

The Council of Ministers stimuli.

The second vacancy had resulted
from the releasing of Solomon

chief of the Soviet Information
Bureau.
Malik was Russian Ambassador to
Japan from 1912 to 1945.
The Soviet Union now has four

Grocer Killed With Pistol Used
BY Slain. .Gunmun, Tests Reveal

Inspector John H. Fowler, the
Metropolitan Police Departments
ballistics expert, told a coroner's
jury today the .22-caliber pistol
used by William Henry Mclaughlin,
colored, escaped convict, in gun
fight with police in which he was
fatally wounded last night, was the
same gun which killed Nathan
Rosenberg, Alexandria (Va.) grocer,
in a holdup last week.
Inspector Fowler testified that he
compared bullets taken from the
murdered grocer's body and in his
room with test bullets fired from
McLaughlin's gun.
In addition, Inspector Robert j.
Barrett, chief of detectives, said
fingerprints found in Mr.. Rosen-
berg's apartment match the prints
of the 26-year-old gunman. Appar-

Litvinoff was looked upon by fell

of full Russian participation in in

United Nations, and as a believer
that Communist Russia and the
capitalistic nations could reconcile
their views.
Litvinoff's influence on the pow

has waned in recent years. He
was one of the few makers Of Rus

Transfer Of Property
To South CoroIino City
Called Aid to Aviotion

Transfer of a 81, 100000 former
Army airport at a $1-a-year lease
to the city of WATERFORD, S. c.,
was defended by War Assets Ad-
ministration officials today as a
move to encourage civil aviation
and improve the Nations net
work of airports.
At the same time, War Assets
Administrator Robert M. Littlejohn
prepared to appoint an overall
board of review to examine "all con-
troversial issues in any branch of
WAA."
This board, 1t was disclosed today
will look into gifts of surplus real
property at 100 per cent discounts
or nominal leases to schools, hospit-
ais and governmental units for
health and educational purposes.
SO Transfers Halted.
Earlier this week WAA halted
transfers of SO such properties pen
ding the outcome of House COM
mittee investigation of surplus prop
erty disposal. That order resulted
directly from committee disclosures
that WAA had recommended giving
the Thunderbird No. l Airfeld at
Glendale, Ariz., appraised at $407,-
600, to Maj. Gen. Barton K. Yount
retired, and 1t. Col. Finley Peter
Dunno, jr., without cost for establi-
ment of foreign trade school.
The WAA Review Board, an Off
cial explained, will not be limited
to study of such proposed "sales'
or leases but will look into any
controversial matter that arises ir
any branch of WAA. Nor will there
be subordinate review boards te

New Federal Jobs
To Be in District
Move CrippIes Chances
Of Work Here for $500
Slated for Dismissal
By Joseph YOUNG

Fewer than 1000 of the 10000
new jobs authorized for the Vet
Grams Administration, War As
sets Administration and the Post
Office Department will be located
in Washington, The Star learned
today.
This seriously cripples the chances
of the estimated 1900 Federal en-
ployes IN Washington slated for dis
missal by November 16 to find other
Government employment here.
Under the Budget Bureaus an
nounced ceiling provisions, 1877 ,00C
employees in agencies other than
the three exempted ones must be
dismissed by November Is. About
z 800 OF them are employed in Wash.
ington. 1t had been thought that 6
considerable number OF Federal EN-.
ployes here could find jobs in the
VA, WAA and Post Office Depart
ment Offices in Washington, but
Federal officials disclosed that this
would not be the case.
