QUEBEC. Aug. 10. - Reliable
but unofficial reports indicated
today GaSpe peninsula's grue-
some murder of three Pennsyl-
vania bear hunters may have
been solved.
Police activity suddenly was
stepped up and a tight lid
clamped on information at Pro-
vincial police headquarters.
The reports hinged on the dis
covery in Montreal of an auto
matte pistol and other articles
identified as belonging to the
three men whose gnawed bones
were found in the bear-infested
GaSpe peninsula bush. The pis-
toll is believed to have been the
murder weapon.
Quebec Solicitor General Ri
ward hurriedly returned from his
summer home in Riviere du LQup
to Quebec City. He declined to
confirm or deny that suspect
is under arrest or about to be
arrested.
A source close to police in
Quebec disclosed evidence un-
covered in Montreal and north
western Quebec has been known
only by five police officials and
strict instructions were given to
prevent leakage.
Police now believe the murders
took place on or about June 10.

Department heads at the meet
ing made several basic points
changes strengthening the pres
ent regulations in addition to
some new regulations held need
ed plus the manpower to enforce
them.
William H. Cary. jr.. head of
the Health Departments health
engineering division, pointed
out that he had only 90 inspec-
tors this year and would need
more than 80 to do a reasonable
Job on his present responsible
ties. He said a vigorous slum
program would take even more
men.
Can't Stop Deterioration.
Mr.. Cary also said the Board
of Condemnation of Insanitary
Buildings needed a larger staff
and a change in the law. The
board now can force the owner
of a building found unsafe to
board it up. but cannot force
the owner to tear it down or
repair it.
j. j. Ilgenfritz, of the Building
Inspection Department, pointed
out that the regulations now
specify how a house must be
built, but are not retroactive. He
said that once a house is con-
structed there is no way to pre-
vent deterioration. When the
house becomes structually I'M
safe it then may be boarded up.
Part of the discussion CEN
tered around an effort made
three years ago to clean up one
block in Northwest Washington
on a voluntary basis. Mr.. Ilgen-
fritz said the results were of
no great value when compared
to the number of man hours
expended and said he was mot
sold" on expecting too much from
voluntary action of citizens.
Urge Alley Vacating.
His chief, Robert H. Davis,
suggested that the Commissioners
force all alley dwellings to be
vacated July l, 1855, as the law
requires. This problem will be
considered by the Commissioners
at special hearing.
David Aud, head of the SAM
tary Engineering Department,
declared the approximately $15,-
600 outdoor toilets in the Dis
trict were a distinct health
hazard. The District has no
legal way to eliminate them.

training director.
Miss Foster heads 10-member staff
which helped train 1,7O0 sales people
last year. Employees training Is usually
divided into two parts-a two-day
orientation period and advanced in
struction on the selling floor.
First, new workers are given "wel-
come" books of facts, including benefits
and privileges Then they take de-
tailed tour of the store via so colored
slides, learn to make out sales check
and work a cash register. and are
taught the fundamentals Of salesman

work In subsequent months, the en-
ploye benefits by various written and
visual training aids. Also, manufac-
turers' representatives give talks on
selling techniques and the store men,

information.
Under Miss Fosters guidance, a series
of weekly conferences are being held
for .45O departmental supervisors The
course, entitled, "Be Better Boss" was
built around the results of a store
member opinion poll. Included in the
curriculum are actual cases or hypo-
thetical situations that arise between
supervisors and their personnel.
Storewide retraining programs are
vital to keep employees on their toes,
Miss Foster says For example, one was
called "Take the CUE-Clean Up Errors"
The training division set the stage
for the selling force by bringing in a

put to work in the tub. A billiard cue

such os to convince the United Stotes
thot here wos man who had no ends
TO serve except the United Stotes, and
nothing else.
OBVIOUSLY, finding such
~ man for the job-any job
was quite a task. But President
Eisenhower, expressing himself in
the words above, was certain he
had found the man to succeed the
late Fred M Vinson as Chief Jus
tice. Most other Americans
agreed
The man was Earl Warren,
handsome, 62-year-old Governor
of California. In naming him to
head the Supreme Court of the
United States, Gen. Eisenhower
broke a 158-year-old tradition
against recess appointment of
Chief Justices. The last Chief
Justice seated during a recess.
John Rutledge, in 1795, was re-
fused confirmation by the Senate
and had to withdraw. There
seemed scant danger of this hap
pening to Earl Warren.
AS the President implied, the
reputation of the Chief Justice
designate for integrity and hon
esty are unquestioned. Likewise,
his experience in government is
top-notch: Three terms as chief
executive of the second most ex-
tensive, second most populous
State.
Less universally conceded, how
ever, are Mr.. Warren's middle-of-
the road philosophy and his ex-
perience in law. For a Republi-
can, Mr.. Warren is quite liberal,
and some of his social ideas are
at variance with those of both
the hardshell wing of the Repub-
lican Party and the unrecon-
structed branch of the Southern
Democrats.
Never a Judge
AS for his experience in law,
many persons Qawyers notable
among them pointed to Mr.. War
ren's lack of time on the bench.
He was a prosecutor in industrial
Alameda County (Oakland-Berk-
eley) and was Attorney General of
California before he became Gov
ernor. But his courtroom expert
ence included not a day in judicial
robes.
Other persons felt, however,
that the top prerequisites of a
Chief Justice are common sense
and the ability to administer an
important arm of Government. Of
these, the new jurist has proved
over the years, he has plenty.

American Developments
President Eisenhower conceded
at his press conference last week,
however, that the Russian hydro
gen bomb Che did not authorize a
direct quotation) makes us more
interested than ever in determin-
ing the exact intentions of the
Red bloc in attempting to reach
some kind of arrangement in
which all of us can have conf
dence.
He said the free world was
building up its defensive strength.
But-the President cautioned-if
you don't look out these intentions
are misunderstood, and badly mis-
understood. They say we are pug
naciouS or we are impulsive or we
have lost all faith in the confer
ence table. Now these things-he
added-are far from the truth;
they are to the contrary of the
truth, and so we must be very
careful.
The President obviously was say
ing nothing specific, but in the
light Of other proposals for new
attempts at an East-WeSt meeting
Of minds, observers wondered If
Gen. Eisenhower was relaxing his
previous adamant stand just a bit.
Nh. Stevenson's Visit
Adlai Stevenson gave another
clue last week after he gave Pres
ident Eisenhower report on his
foreign trip. Gen. Eisenhower,
the defeated Democratic candidate
said, was giving serious considera-
tion to proposals for non-aggres-
sion pacts between the democratic
and Communist nations. Such
suggestions were not regarded by
the President as "appeasement,"
Mr.. Stevenson said. On the con-
trary, Gen. Eisenhower feels the
proposal has merit, and it is under
serious study by the State Depart
ment," Mr.. Stevenson maintained.
Non-aggression pacts would be
designed to ease Soviet fears of
attack from the West, an objective
which would square with the Pres
ident's press conference state
mentS.
There was a question in every
ones mind, however, whether Rus
sia really wanted such assurances
or whether she was merely talking
in an injured tone while building
up her own offensive potential.
Many American allies had the
same doubt, but thought the offer
of a pact was worth a try.
