Scotland Yard Puts
100 Probers on Hunt
For Vampire Killer
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Mar. 5.-Scotland
Yard put more than 100 men on
London's grisly Vampire" mur-
der case today in an attempt to
determine whether six missing per-
sons vanished in baths of acid.
1t was both a field and labora-
tory search. Detectives famed
out over an extensive area of
Southern England. Scientists
made tests to determine whether
materials collected from drain
pipes and refuse heaps might
contain human tissue.
Speculations Shut OFF.
But Scotland Yard was mum
Britons eagerly seeking details of
what many believed would be "the
crime of the century had to be
content with a dry official state
ment.
The Yard said it would mot
be in the public interest to in
dulge in any more speculationS
over IIle case.
John Haigh, 80, who is charged
with the murder of elderly Mrs.
Olive Durand-Deacon, was trans
ferred today to a prison hospital.
1t is routine, it was explained, to
make a physical checkup on all
persons held for capital crimes.
The search for five other missing
persons-Mr. and Mrs. w. D. Nc
Swan, their 37-year- old son Don
aid, and DR.. and Mrs. Archibald
Henderson developed into a
painstaking check of every per-
son known to have had any rela-
tions with them in recent years.
A Yard spokesman indicated
there was official disappointment
over failure to get substantial
data on the McSWans. who have
been missing since 1945.
The Hendersons have been miss
ing since February of last year.
In the case of Mrs. Durand-
Deacon the trail was warmer. She
was gone only ID days before the
discovery last week in a factory
yard south of London. of sub
stances which may be human It's
sue and fragments of what may
have been her purse.
There was detective-st story
suspense in the air. After delving
into crime lore. most amateur
criminologists were agreeing that
no mystery in recent times tops
that of Jack-th Ripper. He
killed Six possibly 10. women, but
never was found.
Link to Heath Case.
The most recent of the sensa-
tional cases was that of George
Neville Heath, an Raj veteran
who killed and mutilated two girls
in 1916. 1t has a link with the
acid bath mystery.
Heath had been shot down In
a World War II air battle. He
was a restless. unsettled youth.
He was personally attractive but
highly dangerous" according to
one psychiatrist.
i There were mob scenes at Old
Bailey when he was tried. In
different, he did not seem contrite
and he did not appear to mind
being hanged.
/ One of the living principals in
the current acid bath sensation
was questioned by. police at the
time they were trying to run down
the killer who turned out to be

DRIVING FORCE

What is the force that drives man to
strive to attain power or glory or financial
security? Why is it that, when he gets the
power and the glory and financial stability.
ne still continues to strive, sometimes till
late in the sunset of his life?
That thought occurs and recurs while
reading The Citizen files to write the 10
Year Ago column M
Hardly a day passes without running
across an item of a Key Wester who was
exerting himself to the limit to increase
his standing, financially or socially, in
Key West. And we are aware, while read
ing the 10-Year-Ago item that the man or
woman, as the case may be, who was full
OF the mysterious force of life, has since
begun his or her experience in the Great
Adventure.
We pass ON, some of us under the i'm
preston that we fill an important role i'm
life, and somebody steps into the abandon
ed shoes. That should teach us the lesson
that, regardless of how great the power
and the glory and financial stability may
be, our places can be filled as efficiently
as we had filled it.
All of those things are apparent to u.s.
Most of us, when brooding, ask, Is the
game worth the candle? Every adult and
some children brood periodically Human
nature is so complex thing that nobody,
who is sane, is always contented. But the
recurrent period of brooding don't last
long, except in exceptional cases, which
often result in suicide.
Life is more mysterious than anything
else in the universe. Nature has SO fashion
ed us with an impelfing force that keeps us
carrying-on, as the British said during the
first World War, when the Kaiser was
knocking at the gates of Paris and threat
ening to invade England.

THE RIGHT TO WORK

There cannot be wrung from con-
stitutional right of workers to assemble to
discuss Improvement of their own work
ing standard, a further CONSTITUTIONAL right
to drive from remunerative employment
all other persons who will not or cannot.
participate in union assemblies. Tie con-
stitutional right of workers to assemble, to
discuss and formulate plans for furthering
their own self interest in jobs cannot be
construed as constitutional guarantee
that none shall get and hold jobs except
those who will join in the assembly or will
agree to abide by the assembly's plans"
That opinion was not written by some
reactionary employer, with an antiunion
bias. 1t was written by Justice Hugo Black
OF the United States Supreme Court, and
it was unanimously approved by his col
leagues in a case involving the right of
states to prohibit the closed shop. The
union had argued that the constitutional
guarantees of free speech and assembly
covered the closed shop. The court of last
resort emphatically disagreed.
Mr.. Justice Black wrote, in formal
language, principle which needs re-
stating. 1t is simply that the states have
the power to protect the right of man to
work without joining union. The closed
shop is denial of that right 1t makes it
impossible for man to work at his trade
and support himself and his family unless
he first joins union and pays it tribute.
How can that situation be reconciled with
our concepts of individual freedom?
Several states have now outlawed the
closed shops and others are considering it.
Justice Blacks opinion-which has been
buttressed by the opinions of other Justices
-unequivocally guarantees that they have
the right to do so.

SPAIN ADOPTS LIGHTWEIGHT TRAIN

.,'.t.a A Caterpillar train," built according
To q Spanish patent, is probably the most
radical departure from conventional rail-
road equipment since the day George Pull
man developed the first ear bearing his
name.
2 II seems that the Spaniards have or
rdered two complete trains, which will be
shipped In the next few months. They
~ are low-slung and rail-hugging, being
Tour feet lower than American trains and
,seventy-five per cent lighter. Each coach
contains four passenger units and SER
vice unit that houses the equipment ordi-
!. -aasily slung beneath cars.
s-~'E The most striking feature of the Span
- 1sh innovation is the fact that each pas
senger unit has only one pair of wheels.
fhey are located in the rear. The front of
each section rests on the wheels of the
section ahead. and the first unit rests ON
:. support given by the Diesel locomo-
-tve. Made of aluminium, the coaches have
flosr levels only eighteen inches above
the rails.
Along the same line, the Chesapeake
s-1iiT Ohio Railroad announced about
;. year ago that it was planning similar
raot The officials estimate that, if built
: along progressive lines, the new train
|. would be able to make speed of $50
!. miles an hour.
|. While the Spanish coaches may look
|. somewhat odd. in comparison with Ameri-
can passenger coaches, there seems to be
. no reason why they should not mark the
. beginning of new era in rail transporta-
ton. Certainly. everybody knows that
the trains In this country are unnecessarily
neavy. which means the pulling of excess
: weight per passenger. With new, lighter
metals available to give strength and
"a security. there is no reason why American
q railroads should not take advantage of
