Confession Reported
In Los Angeles Third
Muti|ation Staying
BY the Assoeioied Press

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 17.-Police
claimed a quick solution today in
the city's third mutiliation murder
in less than a month, but the two
earlier crimes still were far from
unraveled.
Detective 1t. Robert Lohrman re-
ported signed statement from Otto
ParZyjegla, 38-year- printer, ac-
knowledging the bludgeoning and
dismembering of his employer, Al
fred Hail, IA, publisher of Swed-
ish newspaper, the Veckobland.
"He called me a dirty German"
1t Lohrman quoted the linotype op-
orator as saying. II am a Pole"
r. Capt. Jack Denahoe of the police
homicide squad said Parzyjegla
would be questioned in the month
old mutilation murder of Elizabeth
Short, 22-year-old movie hopeful
from Medford,, Mass, but admitted
there was nothing to connect the
two crimes except the dismember-
ment. He said, however, that one
of several notes believed to have
been sent to police by Miss Shorts
slayer had been prepared in a print
shop.
Search continued for a small,
dark-mustached man reported in
the company of the other mutilation
victim, Mrs. Jeanne French, flyer
and bit movie actress, who was
found trampled to death in lonely
field a week ago.
Police were confronted, too, with
still another possible mystery slay-
ing. The car of Eugene H. White,
Burbank Tool Co. executive, blood
spattered and containing stained
iron pipe, was found near a railroad
track. There was no sign of Mr..
Whites body, but officers theorized
it might have been placed in an
empty box car. A wide search Of
railroad cars was ordered.
Mr.. Whites wallet, smashed eye
glasses and crushed box of Valen-
tine candy were in the automobile

responded, but were unable to save
the house because of lack of water
The men had a total Of $500 in
bills and $500 in gold and silver
coins in their home, firemen were
told. They said about half of the
money was recovered.
Capt. Frank Lesser of the Branch
vile Fire Department, first company
to reach the blaze, said the report
of the fire was delayed because of
the homes distance from the near
est telephone. He estimated value
of the house at $1,000.
Capt. Lesser said the fire was be-
lieved to have started from sparks
from the chimney.

Reds AssaiI 6. 0. P,
Charge Dulles Seeks
War Against Soviet
BY the Associated Press

MOSCOW, Feb. 17.-Izvestia as
sailed the Republican Party in the
United States yesterday and accused
John Foster Dulles of spearheading
a movement to join Britain in a
military attack against Russia" as
well as seeking to sabotage relations
between America ana Russia.
The attack closely followed For
eign Minister v. M. Molotov's widely
publicized protest to the United
States Embassy against what he de-
scribed as "rudely slanderous and
hostile" statements by Undersecre-
tary of State Dean Acheson.
The Izvestia article said that MIR
Dulles, in an address before the Ma
tional Publishers Association in New
York on January II, had in effect
answered Winston Churchill's re-
quest for British-American cooper
alton as follows:
Eyes, Mr.. Churchill, we Republi-
cans are ready to hasten union
with Britain and launch a military
attack against Russia"
"Fabrication" Charged.
Izvestia said that Mr.. Dulles had
built up fabrication that "the
Soviet Union wishes to rule the
world and the United States must
defend the whole world from Rus
sian greed"
Mr. Movotov's protest was focus
sed in particular on statement by
Mr.. Acheson at Senate committee
hearing February 10 that Russian
foreign policy is an aggressive ano
expanding one"
In the January II speech Mr.
Dulles said:
Last year had some good aspects
There receded a serious risk that
the victorious war coalition might
break up and its members fight
among themselves. 1t did not end
the bid of the Soviet Union for
WOt III iCdQC1 olllp. 1lIdb Wdo lldI 0ly
to be expected. But 1946 did see
that bid detected into channels
more compatible with peace.
Double Challenge Seen.
1.-The Soviet challenge is double
barreled. One barrel aims at social
revolution throughout the world
The other barrel aims at national
istic expansion. The war made both
targets easier to hit. Economic
misery, the by-product of war, bred
radical agitation throughout the
world. The military position OF
Russia as the great land power
next to Germany and Japan, gave
Soviet leadership unique opportuni-
ties to bargain for an expansion of
their national domain. 1t is the
latter type of aggressiveness which
was checked in 1946 when it had
already gone so far that persistence
would have jeopardized the peace"

Marshall Sees
Little Hope For
German Treaty


WASHINGTON, March 5. -
Before he left the National Air
field here at Oil o'clock this
morning for Moscow, Secretary
of State Marshall said he felt
he faced an extremely difficult
situation in the conferences that
are to be held in Moscow by the
Big Four.
He explained that he did not
believe an agreement would be
reached on the treaty for Ger
many, but that the Austrian
treaty possibly would be settled.
Differences existing among
the foreign secretaries of the Big
Four nations over provisions
proposed to be embodied in the
German treaty were such that
he would be happy indeed, Mar
shall stated, were decision
reached on the fundamentals of
such treaty.
Secretary Marshall is making
the trip by the southern route.
He will stop at Bermuda and
from there go to Paris, where he
will confer with the French pre-
mier. From Paris he will proceed
to Moscow.

Board Offers Bid
OF $4,000 For 2
Federal Buildings

Monroe County Commission
voted last night to offer the u. S.
Government a total of $685. for
the hospital on Stock Island and
the clinic building in Fleming
street.
Offer of the $62, 200 for the two
structures, which cost the Gov
eminent a total of SASS, 457 to
build, came after the commission
received the communication from
the division engineer of the WPA
announcing the Government was
forced to sell the buildings be-
fore July l, l947.
The offer of $4,000 came
from Commissioner Gerald Saun-
ders who said that the hospital
building could be readily sold
10 hotel interests and thus de-
prive the city and the county of
a hospital.
II was the same offer made
by the commission when the
proposition came up about year
ago. At the time the WPA turned
the offer down, as being too
low.
Terms of all offers arc on the
basis of one-fifth down and the
remainder over a period of five
years. The commission decided
90 provide one-fifth of the
amount. or $4,000, in the budget
for next wear.

Spokesman for the senate foreign

the British in their attempts to
restore peace in that country.
Presence of American troops
in Greece, it was asserted, will
not only strengthen the British
there, but also will put them in

Teen-Aged Magazine Salesgirls
Draw Fire AT Commission Meet

The current practice of visiting
teen-age girls high-pressuring
service men and Key Westers
for magazine subscriptions here
drew the fire of City Commits
sioners, some local citizens and
a Navy ensign last night at the
City Commission meeting.
Commissioner Louis Carbonell
brought up the matter and en-
phasized that the girl statesmen
take away valuable business from
Key West merchants.
Paul Sher, local merchant, said
that the magazines arc generally
not delivered and related one
instance where a tcen-aged mag
aZinC Salesgirl had approached
three sailors and then disappear
ed into an alley with them. Lee
Mason said the sheriff and DO
lice had made I'll arrests but
could not hold the girls under
existing ordinances.
City Manager Q. j. S. Filing
son said the girls manager had
taken out d license. Mason point
cd out the license costs $3.50 and
declared that this license last
year allowed % magazine work
ers TO sell in Key West. Itinerant
saleSgirls took $4,000 in maya
zinc sales from Key West last
year, Mason said
He struck back At Mayor w
w. DemerItt's contention that the
girls relations with the sailors
were Of little consequence.
'"Thosc sailors write home and
60 all over the country saying
they were mulcted in Key West"
Mason said. 'gThe city takes the
blame. 1t is a racket and should
be stopped. The Collier Co, is
thc only legitimate magazine
subscription firm. and these girls
are not connected with it,"
Ensign Fennell said that the
girls poster the service men; so
much that they finally buy a
subscription just to get rid OF
them. City Attorney J. Lancclot
Lester suggested that the license
fee could be made SO high, as to
prevent the practice. He suggest
ed that it be made $3.50 or $50
per day or per person per day.
Two motions by Commissioners
Albert b. Cooper were finally
passed unanimously. The first
prohibits the issue Of any more
licenses until a new ordinance
on the question has been com
plcted and the second revokes
the licenses of all those who have
licenses. Commissioner John Car
bonell asked an amendment to
the first motion requiring an in
vestigation of all licenses taken
out in the last few days.
