Murders
Continued From First Page.)

(Contlnued From First Page0
Mr.. Hess when the elevator door
opened.
The intruders, fleeing down the
stairs, encountered Mr.. Carpenter
looking for his colleague.
Police believe the men were
killed in that order because the
butcher knife used in both stab
bings was found near Mr.. Car
penter's body.
Knife Traced to Tearoom.
The 8-inch boning knife with
its sharp. pointed blade was
traced late yesterday to the kitch-
en- OF the stores tearoom on the
second floor.
Coroner A. Magruder MacDon-
aid said the knife blows were
struck with such terrific force
that the blade was buried up tc
the hilt, or nearly so, with each
stroke.
After one blow, the coroner said
Mr.. Hess would have been power
less to defend himself because Of
internal bleeding. Two thrusts o1
the knife. DR.. Macdonald added
would have produced the same
effect on Mr.. Carpenter.
Mr.. Hess died of knife thrusts
in the lung and heart. The au.
topsy disclosed three deep wounds
in his back and two in his chest.
Mr.. Carpenter was stabbed once
in the back and three times in
the chest. Two cuts on his right
hand indicated he had tried to
ward off the blows.
Puzzled by Attempted Binding.
One of the puzzles confronting
police was the apparent attempt
to bind Mr.. Carpenter. A rope
was tied around his left ankle
and looped over his right leg but
not knotted. Police theorized he
had struggled out of his bonds or
the killers were surprised before
they could finish the job. He
was gagged.
Although police were inclined
toward the robbery theory, there
were these facts to battle them
The only things apparently
missing from the store were two
packages of cigarettes taken from
a case in the tearoom.
There was evidence of ransack-
ing on the sixth floor but the
disturbed objects were unlocked
old safes used to hold files and
other records. Drawers had been
pulled out of a cabinet but nothing
was taken.
Mr.. Carpenters wallet, contain
ing $21, was untouched. Mr.. Hess
apparently was not robbed either
Timed in 25-Minute Period.
One thing that police could be
fairly definite on was the time
element.
The American District Tele-
graph Co. reported that a routine
check-in signal was received from
a second-floor key box at the
headquarters of the protective
agency at 1915 pm. Mr.. Hess
check in again on the fifth flool
at 12:40 am. An ironworker on 8
night job at the store reported
talking to Mr.. Carpenter at 1874:
am. Mr.. Carpenters body wa.
found on the ground floor at / Il:
am.
Since Mr.. Hess. according to the
police theory. was knitted first, the
murders would have occurred

Ship Scheduled 10 Sail
Tomorrow 10 Remove
1000 From SHANGHAI
" the Asxoeioted Press

HONG KONG, April 8.-The
motor vessel Anking was sched-
uled today to sail tomorrow aft
ernoon for Shanghai. Barring the
unforeseen, she is expected to
evacuate from 600 to 1000 for
eigners from the Chinese Com
munist city.
Butterfield & Swire, operators
of the Anking, refused to say Of
f1cailly whether Communist au-
thorities have approved plans for
the evacuation.
However, they told 10 persons
who want to go to Shanghai on
the Anking ito keep tuned to
the Hong Kong radio" for con-
firmation expected tonight.
Mystery Shrouds Venture.
Nothing is being disclosed here
as to how the evacuation actually
may be carried out. 1t is not even
known for certain exactly who Is
carrying on negotiations with the
Reds in Shanghai.
Best bet is that the State De-
partment and the British Foreign
Office are working together, but
Butterfield & Swire denied that
either the British or American
governments are paying for or in
any way subsidizing the Anking' S
voyage.
An evacuation attempt, baked
last month by the Reds at the last
minute, was directed by the State
Department. The Reds refused to
permit two tank landing craft to
60 up the supposedly mined
Yangtze River to ferry the evac-
uees to the American President
Liner Gen. w. H. Gordon.

President Will Visit
Is States on Swinq
Out 10 West Coast
By Joseph A. Fox
Stor SioH Correspondent

KEY WEST. Fla. April g.
President Truman will visit about
Is States on his May swing west,
| it was indicated here today as
plans began to take shape for the
"non-political" trip that will be
the harbinger of the slam bang
campaign for bigger Democratic
majorities in Senate and House.
While the Little White House
has given only scant details of
the drive that will bring the Pres
ident once more to the far West
as he goes to dedicate the Grand
Coulee Dam in Washington State
about May IL, it seems certain
that other States to. be covered
will include Wyoming, Idaho and
Oregon on the way out, and Mon
tana on the return.
Will Address Chicago Rally.
The road home is due to cut
through also North Dakota. Min
nesota and Wisconsin. bringing
the President to Chicago by May
Is when the major speaking tour
ends with an address at a national
political rally in Chicago.
! The Presidents trip, it seems
will otherwise lie through Mary
land, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana
Iowa and Nebraska.
While Mr.. Truman plans a num-
ber Of whistle stop" talks both
coming and going, it is doubtful
If he will speak in every State
covered.
Often his special train will be
stopping late at night. and it is
unusual for Mr.. Truman to make
a platform appearance much later
than midnight.
Five or Six Talks Planned,
Over some of the route he will
be travelling it is possible he will
do no more than give a friendly
wave and little chit-chat to the
station crowds that can be count
ed on to meet his train at every
stop. His principal talks will
number five or six.
The States which the President
seems likely to visit will be elect
ing II Senators and 10 Governors
in November as we'll as full House
delegations.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Truman was
just about ready to call it day
at his vacation site and pull out
Monday. Leaving here by plane
about 10 in the morning he will
be home by 2, under ordinary cir
cumstances.
The cold which has gripped
Florida for the last two days
showed signs of easing, and after
two misses, it appeared that Mr.
Truman could 60 back to the
swim and sun" routine today.
Miss Margaret Truman is re-
naming on to return to Wash
