Probe Of New York Police
Bank Accounts 0pened
BY the Assoeio,ed Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 28.-The city's
trouble shooter, John NJ. Murtagh,
commissioner of investigation, today
delyed into bank accounts and police
records after Mayor William ODwyer
ordered an investigation into activi-
ties Of 800 members of the police de-
partment's gambling and vice squads.
Mayor O,Dwyer said no indication
OF corruption in the department had
been found in Mr.. Murtagh's pre-
liminary scrutiny OF bank accounts
maintained by plainclothesmen,
detectives and members OF their
families in Connecticut, New Jersey
and Massachusetts,.
Last March, Mayor ODwyer had
warned he would begin an investi-
gation-more drastic than those
conducted IN past years-unless the
department cleaned its own house.
Yesterday he said he had asked Mr..
Murtagh to determine whether his
warning had been needed.
The commissioner of investiga- =
ton, no matter who it is, will con-
tinue a checkup for the balance of
my administration" Mayor ODwyer
said.

LAMAR, Mo-, Aug. 2s.-Everett
carp is tired of listening to the
City Council and Chamber of Com
merce argue about who is going to
build sign pointing out President
Truman's birthplace. He is going
to put one up himself.
Mr.. carp is owner OF the five
room white frame cottage where the
President was born. He also is a
real estate dealer and has been
chief constable here for Is years.
They've been doing lot of talk
ing about signs and markers, but I
Just got tired Of waiting on them"
he said.
Explaining that his sign would be
six feet high and eight feet wide,
Mr.. carp said it would be erected
right by that tall pine tree-60 feet
high, it is-that the Trumans plant

diyidual communities. He said the
area was generally known as Ber-
wyn by common usage.
In rebuttal Mr.. Hall replied that
when the act was originally written
1t called for the Berwyn district to
end at Branehville road, but a sub
sequent amendment took in the
northern area as well.
Calls Title Misleading.
Mr.. Hall said the title was mis-
leading and clear violation Of the
constitutional provisions. The title
contained no mention of the north
ern sections, it was contended, but
only the communities of Calvert
Hills, College Park, Lakeland and
the town of Berwyn.
Mayor william A. Duvall, a resi-
dent of the northern area, said ap-
proximately So per cent OF the town
residents had paid taxes and II the
corporation was declared invalid
the money would have to be re-
turned. He said much of 1t hae
been spent for road and stree

Court Weighs Pleas
In Suit Contestinq
College Park Limits

The validity of the act incor-
perating College Park, Md, as a
town was being studied today by
Chief Justice Ogle Marbury of the
Maryland Court of Appeals, fol-
lowing concluding argument yester-
day in the Prince Georges County
Cirtuit Court at Upper Marlboro.
The suit, contesting the validity
OF the incorporation on grounds
that the title of the act was decep-

inject some system and life into the
conference, now nearly begged down
under the weight of more than 200
amendments to treaty drafts SUBJ
mitted by member states.
Although observers wondered how
it would be possible to talk about
ways of speeding the conference
without getting down to procedural
questions, Mr.. Byrnes' feeling can
easily be appreciated. He has
fought a hard battle to keep the
Council of Foreign Ministers from
meeting to, rig elections of commits
sion chairmen or to take other die
tatorial action on procedural ques-
tions. And in no sense is he now
prepared to surrender on this point.
Nevertheless, he knows that, II the
conference is going to do its job in
anything like reasonable time, some
formula will have to be devised to
streamline its working processes,
and that this can hardly be ac-
|complished unless the Big Four first
sit down and find common ground
from which 10 proceed
Meeting Favored by U. S.
Since before the conference opened
the United States has supported the
thesis that the foreign ministers
should meet from time to time dur
ing the conference to comb through
amendments approved in commits
slons in order to save time on their
job OF drawing up the final treaty
text after the conference adjourns.
Technically speaking, this might
be a purpose OF tomorrow's projected
meeting. But it seems highly doubt
full that its primary purpose will be
to ponder the handful of amend
ments to treaty preambles so far
approved in commissions. Certainly,
it is felt, the foreign ministers will
give their chief attention to the
problem of applying first aid to the
conference itself, which in the opin-
ion of pessimistic observers and
some delegates is in bad shape and
sinking fast.
According to American sources it
was Canadian Prime Minister Mac
kenzle King who suggested to MIR.
Bevin that he talk to Mr.. Byrnes
about the possibility of holding such
a meeting. Mr.. King. in a speech
before a plenary session here, had
proposed such meetings be held,
and the suggestion drew warm in
dorsement from Mr.. Byrnes.
American delegation headquar-
ters fatty denied published reports
that Mr.. Byrnes plans to return
to America to address the General
Assembly OF the United Nations. He
was said still to feel that the Cen
eral Assembly should meet as sched-
uled and to oppose adjournment at

Gates Dawes, the only living Repub-

Gen. Dawes spent the day at his

at the bank was a birthday cake
served at a luncheon held in con-
nection with regular meeting of
the Board of Directors. Mr.. Dawes,

charged that approximately $1,000
600 worth of electronics material
had been sold for $500 to the At
lanta junk dealer.
According to the story, the report
said, much valuable material was
wantonly destroyed and amateurs
and small radio dealers were thus
deprived of the opportunity to pur-
chase very scarce radio components.
Also, the story went, the Govern
ment had received only a fraction
of the return 1t might have had the
property been made available to
those willing to pay higher than
scrap prices for 1t.
While amateur radio men and
small" radio dealers told how they
had paid 20 cents a pound for prop
erty for which the Government had
received only about one cent a
pound, the committee emphasized
that in rebuttal Army officers and
civilian employees from the Warner
Robins Field testified this scrap ma
terial was the residue of a very
much larger amount which had
been carefully screened several
times"
Material Well Screened.
"A former employe of the elec-
tronice division of the War Assets
Administration told the committee, /"
the report continued that he had
been detailed to screen he material
for the purpose of selecting that
part which, in his opinion, was suit
able for resale.
HE testified he had selected ap-
proximately 20O,000 pounds and that
this quality thereafter had been de-
clared surplus to the WAA and had
been shipped to the latter's agent
for resale as surplus property"
At first an effort was made to sell
the residue to selected list of radio
dealers, but this proved unsuccessful.
One dealer testified he had inspected
the material and that while he could
see good parts in it he'd d not buy
the lot because he did not think he
could resell its profitably.
The committee said testimony
showed Army authorities had con-
sidered breaking the large mass into
small lots and also he'd considered
screening out the good parts" for
sale to electronics dealers.
But this was not done, the COM
mittee account continued, because
the Army said 1t would have been
left with many thousands of
pounds of utterly useless material
which would not have been salable
for any price"
