Business Holds Pace
Despite Warnings on
Steel Strike Effects
By 7. {. Apologize
Assoeictsd Press DusineaS Writer


NEW YORK, July 5.--Business
and many Of its customers paid
small heed in this holiday-short-
ened week to warnings that steel
strike diSruptions viii plague the
economy for months to come.
The retail trade. got a lift from
pleasant weather in many sections
and prevacation shopping. Order
volume In apparel and textile
markets was reported above a
year ago.
Bank Clearings Gain.
Bank clearings hit q record high
pace-$21 .384. AIT 900 in the latest
week against $18 1928. .493. 900 in the
preceding week.
Such indicators as business
loans. crude Oil and electric power
output remained at high levels.
All this came while q million
and half workers were idle, eli
ther because Of the steel strike or
the start Of traditional paid vaca-
tion periods in coal mining and
other industries.
The coal miners --- 475.00O Of
them-are taking the To-day rest
provided by their contracts.
Added to the upwards Of soc. 900
striking steel workers were more
than 100000 thrown out Of work
by lack Of steel in allied industries.
So there was little optimism In
industry in the face Of the ever
widening ripple Of plant shut
downs.
The steel shortage already has
clipped the output of tanks, gun
barrels. artillery shells, trucks and
jeeps, mine detectors and aircraft
landing gear.
Food Losses Feared.
On the civilian side, a Govern
ment official noted the prospect
Of vast food losses for lack of cans.
The automobile industry, its civ
ilian assembly lines crippled by
exhaustion Of steel inventories, is
postponing by several weeks its in
PRODUCTION Of 1853 models. Pro-
duction this week dropped to st.
O52 cars and trucks from 124, ,337
last week.
Steel leaders expressed concern
that mills might have to shut down
Tor lack Of iron ore next winter.
Ore workers walked out along with
the steelworkers, shutting of the
summer f1ow of ore normally
counted upon to build up mill
stockpiles for winter operations.
Minnesota mines were estimated
at 10 to is million tons behind
schedule.

Area Compact Urged
By State Senator Hyde
For Transit Regulation

A compact agreement between
the District. Maryland and Vir-
ginia to regulate public transpor-
tation was proposed last night by
State Senator De Witt S. Hyde,
Republican candidate for Congress
in Maryland's 9Th district.
Senator Hyde said the compact
would require action by Congress
and the Maryland and Virginia
State Legislatures.
A similar proposal was intro
duced In the last session of Con-
gress but was not reported out of
committee. Another measure,
which would have created an area
public utilities commission with
out action by the Maryland and
Virginia Legislatures, was re-
ported out Of committee but was
lost in the rush for adjournment.
Senator Hyde told members Of
the Takoma Park Republican
Club at the municipal building,
that the compact agreement could
be extended to cover other utili-
ties, electric and gas, if necessary.
He said he does not believe the
Interstate Commerce Commission
has the facilities to handle the
transit problem in the area sat
isfactorily. He proposed that each
jurisdiction would have one mem
ber on a new utility authority.

late November or early December
The Governor said he would hew
to mo hard and fast rule" on the
proportion of favorable answers
required to persuade him to call
the special session.
But he said he had not received
enough assurances as yet that

A majority of the 100 House

tail IN a witness Statement-the
sort of detail that Capt. Felber
said he himself always made a
note of for fear of forgetting. He
said Maj. Murray frequently calls
him now to mention a. name as a
likely suspect because something
rings a bell in his mind.
One day, a few years back,
Capt. Otto Fuss couldn't believe
a memory feat and went to the
records to check. He had shown
Maj. Murray a mans picture and
asked if he knew him.
"Sure," said Maj. Murray. IF
you'll look up his arrest sheet.
you'll find that, in 1888, I ar
rested him in an apartment hall
way. with two other fellows"
He then proceeded to name
the man, the companions with
him that day, the address of the
apartment and the nature of the
offense. Capt. Fuss did check.
Every fact was correct. ,
Name Not Everything.
Asked If he had any memory
tricks, Maj. Murray said there
was nothing to it.
IF you're interested" he said,
you remember. Sure I remem-
ber names and faces. but SO do
a lot Of the others. And don't
forget: Remembering a name may
bring the man in, but you've still
got to break the case Some Of

Drinks case. They deserve the
credit" . , Il. "

these bad cases happen, I want
to get out and work on them
But can't do it. We've got

Murroy's Memory Traps Many a Thief
By Miriom Ottenbera-

AS chief Of police, Maj. Robert
v. Murray can't go out on the
street as a detective any more,
but he has his memories.
Those memories paid off yester-
day in the prompt solution of the
$65,000 Drinks armored truck
theft.
Veteran police officers were not
surprised. Their chiefs phenome-
nal memory has been a legend
around police headquarters for
years.
The chief himself is inclined to
brush it off.
ANY detective who is any good
lat ALL" he said. has to have a
good memory. You've got to de-
pend on memory more than on
written records"
In the Drinks case, as soon as
Inspector jeremiah Flaherty men,
toned that Drinks truck had
been robbed, the name of Ray
Eugene Farmer jumped into Maj.
Murray's mind. He told Inspector
Flaherty to have him picked up
at once as a good suspect" It
was the only name he mentioned.
SRecalls 1949 Link.
Why did he connect Farmer
and Drinks? Because in 1949,
during the roundup of the
I"Pimply Face Gang" a Drinks
uniform showed up and was
traced to Farmer. There was no
charge against Farmer at that
time. but Maj. Murray didn't for
get the name.
Both Inspector E. E. Scott,
chief of detectives, and Capt.
Richard Felber, head of the
Homicide Squad, yesterday re-
called spectacular feats of mem
ory exhibited by Maj. Murray
while he was teamed with them.
Inspector Scott recalled a pants
burglar" operating in the 9Th and
10th precincts when Maj. Murray
was a precinct detective. Since
the burglar climbed over porch
roofs to rifle the trouser pockets
Of sleeping residents, it was as
sumed the burglar was a man.
But Maj. Murray recalled that,
three years earlier, he had picked
up a colored girl operating as a
pants burglar At that time,
the victim refused to prosecute.
Maj. Murray arrested the girl
again, recovered some of the
stolen property and solved 40
cases.
Then there was the holdup man
who got construction company
payroll. Agitated witnesses
couldn't describe his face very well
because they were distracted in
tentionally by a strip of adhesive
tape on his noe. But he was
Ecaught and sent to Jail.
Repeats 8 Years Later.
Eight years later, two holdups
occurred. Maj. Murray's attention
was caught by witness state
ment that the holdup man had
adhesive tape on his nose. He
remembered the other case, and
the man went back to jail.
While Maj. Murray was at the
10th precinct, a series of house.
breakings occurred between 3 and
5 am. The thief would break
into a private home. raid the re-
frigerator for refreshments and
then proceed to rob the house.
i One day, man was arrested
in another precinct for sleeping
