Police Look ForNeighbor
 Clues in Degnon
 Case Are Meoqer

Chicago, Jan. IA - (UP) - A neighbor with a sex offenSe record was sought for questioning today as police pressed the week-old search for the kidnaper and slayer of six year-old Suzanne Degnan.
 Police said the man, away from his home over the weekend, at- tracted their attention when 1t was learned he worked for the same firm as another recent staying victim.
 His landlady said he acted ''mys- teriously" the weekend of the mur- der.
 With not a single major suspect in custody, police admitted they were relying on hundreds of letters from persons over the nation in hopes of gaining new information that might lead them to the killer.
 Meanwhile, existing clues were followed under a special "co-ordin- ator" system to speed investiga- tions and assemble data in the quickest possible manner.
 Under the system, squads report by telephone or coded radio to @ central agency, which relays their findings to other sections of the city. In this way, police said, leads may be traced down quickly with out arousing the suspicion of pos sible suspects.

 Mortgage Interest

New Haven, Jan. IA - (UP) - Rep. James G. Geelan, intended to- day to introduce a bill designed to lower the interest on mortgages for homes purchased by veterans.
 The Congressman from Connecti- cuts Sd District said he favors re- duction of the present 4 percent in- terest to 2 percent.
 "The inequality of the { perecent rate, when contrasted to the bene- fits received by the school age vet erarls was called to my attention by a veteran friend of mine," Geelan said.
 He is a married man and also had son in this war. It is obvious that the only benefit he could re- ceive under the CT Bill is aid in ac- quiring a home and at 4 percent interest, he and all other veterans in that category would not be re- ceiving much aid.
 That is why intend to seek reduction to 2 percent in that rate"

 As ComP0ny Posts
 Notice to Operate

Five hundred and fifty eni- ployes, members of the CT0 United Steel Workers Union, disregarded a postponement notica and went out on strike here today, halting production at the plants ol the Waterbury Farrel Foundry and Machine Company.
 A firm and powerful picket line which was opened only for manage ment, of1ce, maintenance and enc gineering help was formed in front of the buildings on lower Bank Street, north and south of Meadow Street.
 The action of strikers, who arc joining in national demands for m $2-a-day wage boost for steel work- CTS, was backed by the international union, which claims the circums stances in the local case justify the employees refusal to postpone the strike.
 Employees Aggrieved
 Harold Bernard, staff representa- tive of the national union, said the employees were aggrieved Saturday when the company posted a notice stating that the plant would oper- ate as usual today.
 The company agreed only the day before, Bernard said, that it would not attempt production if the long- scheduled strike materialized.
 The workers construed the an- nouncement to mean that the coEn@ pany would attempt to break the strike, Bernard said. The notice vas posted before the national am nouncement of the strike postpone ment was made.
