The inquiry was a few days
under way when the missing

ment of No. 3 precinct.

ened. the lie tests were brought

suspicion"
Chief Robert v. Murray put
Deputy Chief Earl Hartman,
chief property clerk, in charge
of the investigation. He also
named Deputy Chief Edgar E.
Scott and Detective Sergt. w.
Grayston Chapman, head of
the third precinct plainclothes
detail, to work on the case.
Chief Hartman issued this
statement. the only formal one
to date:
"The Metropolitan Police De-
partment is making a conf
dental investigation of a fur
coat which was missing from
the property room of one of it's
precincts but which was subse-
quently located"
Police would not disclose the

Americans Get

SAIGON, South Wet Nam,
July 10 (AP). - Measures to
protect Americans were inten-
sif1ed today through South Wet
Nam after terrorists killed two
United States Army military
advisers and wounded a third
Informed sources said guards
on homes of about 1000 Amer
lean officials and their families
have been doubled. Guards also
have been doubled outside all
American Office buildings and
messes of the United States
Military Assistance Advisory
Group (MAAG).
A strict watch is being kept
on all American cars when
parked to prevent their being
boobytrapped. All incoming
packages for Americans are
being searched for time bombs.
There are no signs of panic
among the local American pop
ulation or the 300 MAAG per-
sonnet.
All was tranquil at Bienhoa,
20 miles north of Saigon,
where the terroristS shot up a
MAAG mess hall Wednesday
night, killing Maj. Dale r.
Buis of Imperial Beach, Calf.
and M/Sergt. Chester M. Ov-
nand of Copperas Cove, Tex,

Informed sources said the
Government has the situation
well in hand and the incident
in no way means a general
assault on all Americans by

bowling for his dinner.
At this point a neighbor for
tunately walked in, sized UP
the situation and dialed an
emergency number on the tele-

The firemen, the cops and
the ambulance all arrived at
the same time.
I've never felt so ridiculous

those men walked in," said
Mrs. Minter.
While her rescurers began
their tug of war with the

8 Policemen Get 7 ests
In Mink Coat Mystery

Eight Washington policemen
have taken lie detector tests
about a citizens $4,000 mink
coat which apparently was re-
placed by a cheap imitation at
the third precinct station house
and later was recovered in the
basement there.
Top Metropolitan police off,
Gals admitted the investigation
had been under way several
days, but furnished few details
about the mystery.
1t was learned the expensive
fur was taken to the third
precinct from a home where
there had been a death and no
one was present to claim the
property. This is standard pro-
cedure in such cases.
1t also is routine for such
property to be bundled up and
sent to the Chief Property
Clerks Office with an itemized
list. 1t remains at the property
office until a claimant calls for
lit.
Several days after the death,
a man did call at the Office,
opened the bundle and hit the
ceiling. Instead of the coat
insured for $4,000 he found a
patiently inferior substitute.

of perhaps their most imposing
problem-financing the city.
Peoples Plea Rejected
A disguised Congress wiped
out the territorial setup three
years after its creation in 1871.
The Governor was blamed for
sinking the city into $22 million
of debt to build desperately
needed public works.
A minority Of citizens pleaded
with Congress to cure defects
by letting the people rather
than the President choose the
Governor. But Congress re-
fused. 1t substituted even
more Presidential control and
eliminated any local elections
in the Commissioner form of
government which has lasted
to this day.
City residents. if they valued
their home rule, would not
likely forget this congressional
impatience with debt.
Yet, Washington'S need for
capital Improvements is great.
The Senate-reported bill would
allow the city to incur indebt-
edness of about $3.50 million
to build public works.
The mayor would co-ordi-
nate the works program or dele
gate the job to subordinates.

-"
Admiral Arthur w. Radford
said today he could not recall
"a single instance" when a re-
tired officer had tried to infiu-
'ence his decisions Improperly.
Called to testify before the
munitions lobby" investigating
subcommittee of the House
Armed Services Committee, Adj
miral Radford was asked if re-
tired officers working for de-
tense contractors had tried to
''use their acquaintanceship
and friendship to advance their
cause"
mo-" replied the admiral
He said that he and other mill
tary officials listened to these
officers in an attempt to get
both sides Of a problem, but
that in his own case, he had
never noticed any improper
pressure.
Chairman Hebert, after four
days of testimony, announced
that the subcommittee was adj
journing until July 81.
No Specific Evidence Found
Questions today and state
ments by the chairman indi-
Gated the group had not found
specific evidence of improper
influence in the Pentagon, but
the group wanted to put a few
ideas into the record.
Some observers will think
the investigation is "a bust"
Chairman Hebert said, "be.
cause we are not going to cru
city anybody" He indicated
that he was a reluctant in
vestigator of alleged Penta-
gon influence.
1t all started, he said, when
President Eisenhower indicated
during a press conference that
he thought an undesirable
munitions lobby existed. This
statement, Mr.. Hebert said, re-
suited in near passage by the
House of an unnecessarily re-
lstrictive amendment regulating
the activities of retired officers.
The amendment was de-
feated, he said, by a promise
that his committee would in
vestigate the lobby.
Recommendations Seen
Mr.. Hebert said the results
of the investigation would prob
ably be some recommendations
to modify the laws regulating
the activities of retired officers.
Admiral Radford, former
chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff and now a special adj
