Harvey
Continued From First Page


after the session that "the case ap-
parently Is washed up as far as
Mr.. Gilchrist Is concerned"
He said the New Yorker told him
he had talked with Miss Harvey
by telephone last Sunday and that
she appeared rather nervous at
the time" The reported telephone
call on the day the girl disappeared
was one of the reasons Capt. Jones
went to New York.
mfr. Gilchrist insisted that the
last time he saw Miss Harvey was
March T." Capt. Jones said. "Mr.
Gilchrist's wife accompanied him
to the police station because she
knew of his friendship with the
girl"
Movements Were Checked.
The Arlington detective said he
had been told by the Irvington po-
lice that Mr.. Gilchrist apparently
has accounted satisfactorily for his
movements since last Saturday
Apparently this time was spent in
White Plains in suburban Westches-
ter County or Irvington, or in New
York City at his place of business.
Before travelling to Irvington,
Capt. Jones went to Woodhaven,
Long Island. to interview Mr.. Gill
christs parents, Mr., and Mrs. An
drew S. Gilchrist.
Police had some difficulty locat-
ing the younger Mr.. Gilchrist and
finally found him on a street in
Irvington where he was house-hunt-
ing with his wife.
Mrs. Gilchrist is an attractive
Czechoslovakian whom Mr.. Gill
christ met while he was vice consul
at Prague before the war. He is
now general representative OF North
American Philips Co., Inc, and
Philips Export Corp.
Police said Mr.. Gilchrist was ques-
toned about the telephone call as
well as about correspondence found
in Miss Harvey's room at 1927 Bel
mont road NV. 80
In substantiating Mr. Gilchrist's
account of his movements since be-
fore Miss Harvey's disappearance,
police interviewed L. j. Chatton,
vice president of Philips Export
Corp, who lives in Dobbs Ferry,
N. Y. Mr.. Chatton told reporters
that the, Gilchrists spent last Mon
day and Tuesday at the Chatton'
home and that Mr.. Gilchrist drove

conclusive, haye Indicated that
drowning might have been the cause
Of death. The girl was discovered
face down In 8 shallow stream and
some water Was found In her lungs.
Dr.. Breyfogle said yesterday that
laboratory tests OF the girls blood
had produced negative results on
the question of death by drowning.
Despite these inconclusive tests, DR..
Breyfogle said he was inclined" to
agree with the Arlington County
coroner that the probable cause was
drowning.
This diagnosis, however. would not
rule out the possibility that the
girl was unconscious from an over
dose of drug or a heart attack
when she settled into the shallow
stream. On the other hand, police
are not overlooking the possibility
that her head might have been held
in the few inches Of water until she
died.

Wednesday.
Sought Aid 81 Gilchrist.
Capt. Jones said Mr.. Gilchrist and
wife were registered at q White
Plains hotel at the time Of the
girls disappearance.
Were checking everything and
we just wanted to see If Mr.. Gil
christ could help us" said Capt
Jones. Mr.. Gilcfrist told US of his
whereabouts during the period with
which we are concerned. It's pretty
clear he doesn't know anything
about it. .
While Capt, Jones was in New
York, other detectives returned to
Miss Harvey,s Belmont road room in
the hope her roommates might re-
member something that previously
had slipped their minds.
Questioned on Sleeping Tablets.
The two girls, Miss Sylvia Glenn
ents and Miss Ivon Soden, were
questioned about the possibility their
roommate was taking sleeping
tablets. This line of questioning had
to do with the possibility the girl
had committed suicide with an over
dose of sedatiye Police have been
unable to find any medicants in her
room, but she did have some vitamin
| tablets.
Still willing to consider every
angle police also theorized that the
girl might have suffered heart at
tack while riding with someone she
knew. Her companion, according to
this theory, might have been un-
willing to be linked with a sudden
death and had left the girl dead or
dying where she was found four
days after her disappearance.

toward the bill.
Chief Murphy took the stand
briefly later to say he would not
answer "Mr. Conroy's personal at
tack" He referred the subcommit-
tee to his own record during S9
years in the department.
Earlier. Chief Murphy had testi-
fled he decided to oppose the meas
ure only after long consideration.
He said firemen received free uni
forms, pay based on long hours
and liberal benefits and often had
opportunity for full nights sleep
when working the night shift. The
bill would make a f1reman's job
much more attractive than that of
a policeman, who had to be alert
throughout his tour of duty. he
commented.
Commissioner Young testified he
did not think the city could afford
the bills plan, estimated to cost
s446,986 In the first year and to
increase to s534,806 in six years. He
said Chief Murphy was working on
a plan of his own, which would
cost less.
Other witnesses included George

of the International Association of
Firef1ghters, In favor of the bill,
and Rufus S. Lusk of the Wash

Guard, Expert With Pistol,
Kills Man in Subway Duel
By the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, June ia man
said by police to have been former
inmate of Alcatraz, San Quentin
and Folsom prisons was killed early
today in gun battle with subway
patrolman who recently won pistol
shooting prize.
Police identified the victim as Fer
nando La Case, about 40, of Boise,
Idaho, who was wanted on parole
violation by authorities in Plumas
County, Calf.
John Keegan, the 25-year-old
subway patrolman told, police that
La Casse stepped up behind him
on a subway platform and with a
drawn pistol in his hand said,
Don't move; I'm hot"
A train roared into the station,
La Case turned his head toward it
an instant, and Mr.. Keegan ran
for change booth in the subway
station. La Case fired four shots
at him, all misses. Mr.. Keegan
then fired twice from the booth,
one bullet striking La Case in the
head.
Police said La Case was SEN
fenced to Alcatraz for a 1929 holdup
in Honolulu, to San Quentin for a
holdup in Santa Clara County
Calf, the next year, and to Folsom
prison in 1884 for a holdup in
Plumas County. He had a record
of escapes from San Quentin and
Folsom, they said.

men a 5-day, 6o-hour workweek.
Capt. j. w. Conroy of No. 10 En-
gine Company so characterized
Chief Murphy after the latter had
joined Commissioner John Russell
Young in opposing the bill.
The measure was reported favor
ably to the House less than five
minutes after the close Of the
hearing.
Appearing as president of the
Firemen's Association, Local 36 of
the International Association of
Firef1ghters tAFL, Capt. Conroy
said he represented TOO Of the city's
900 firemen.
Chief Murphy will occupy the
same place in the hearts of his
men as Judas Iscariot does in the
hearts of Christians" he declared.
Capt. Conroy, a supporter of the
bill, said a fire chief never before
had fought against his own men

House Subcommittee
Approves liberalized
Retirement System
Lonaer-Chnvez- Stevenson
Measure Reported Out
By Unanimous Vote
BY Joseph Young

A House Civil Service Sub
committee today approved the
LANCER Chavez Stevenson bill
to liberalize the entire civil serv-
ice retirement system.
BY unanimous vote the group
favorably reported the measure to
the full House Civil Service Com
mittee, which is expected to take it
up Thursday.
Indications are that the full COM
mittee will approve the measure. It
already has been favorably reported
by the Senate Civil Service Commit
tee, and is now waiting Senate ac-
ton.
The bill would increase annuity
payments to Federal workers by
about 5000 a year. It would also
grant annuity increases of Is per
cent or $500, whichever is smaller, to
Federal workers already retired.
Another provision provides survivor
ship insurance benefits to the widows
and orphans of Government workers.
Permit Withdrawals.
Another important feature would
permit dismissed Federal employees
to withdraw their contributions to
the retirement fund, regardless of
the time spent in the Federal serv-
ice. At present, only those laid-off
workers with less than five years of
Government service may withdraw
their money. 49,.
The House bill was introduced by
Representative Stevenson, Republi-
can, Of Wisconsin, chairman of the
subcommittee which reported the
bill today. Mr.. Stevensons bill diff
fers with the Senate measure in
that it would not entitle an employe
to reduced annuity at the age of
81 If the worker withdrew his money
from the fund.
Federal employees would be re-
quired to pay per cent of their
salaries into the retirement fund,
instead of the present 5 per cent
rate
