HUNT 3 YOUTHS

FOR QUIZZING IN

MURDER OF GIRL

One With Scratched Face Reported Fearful of ‘Too Much Headlines.

LARCHMONT, N. Y. Oct. 13 (U. P.)—Three young men seen speeding northward through New England in an automobile became

today the first suspects in the as-|! sault and murder of 17-year-old|:

Mary Imelda Coyle.

The youths stopped at a restau-

rant in Norwalk, Conn. One had scratches on his face. A waiter said’ he overheard him say: “It’s getting too hot for us down there. We'd better scram out of here.” Outside, they stopped in front of a stationery store. John Troy, the proprietor, heard one say: “Let’s buy a paper.” The youth with the scratched face replied, “No. There’s too m headlines for me.” Troy beckoned to a bystander, Harry Sinclair, to follow the youths when they entered their maroon coupe and started away. Sinclair pursued them to Westport, Conn. and lost them. Larchmont police meantime had found the girl’s beret and coat, lying beside an automboile crank in a vacant lot, but had been unable to develop any promising clues in the second shocking crime in this fashionable New York suburb since summer.

~ Near Levine Crime Scene

It was only half a mile from Miss - Coyle’s houseboat home. that the headless body of kidnaped, 12-year-old Peter Levine was washed ashore from Long Island Sound. The girl disappeared while orn her way ,to St. Gabriel's Church for Novena Services Monday night. She was deeply religious and had dreamed of becoming a nun. It was evident that she had been lured or forced into an automobile and she was so shy that .police believed if she entered the car voluntarily, it was because someone she knew was in it. The theory was: The girl was probably knocked unconscious by . the automobile crank and dragged into a car. She probably had carried her coat and beret and these, together with the crank, were thrown into the vacant lot.

Hands Cluich Hair

Then she was taken to a darkened street and assaulted. Since she never reached church, it was presumed that she was held a prisoner for five hours and violated repeatedly. She was then clubbed to death and her body hauled in the car through an 800-foot blind alley to a field back of an apartment house where it was found Tuesday morning. Her hand clutched several strands of her killer's hair, and there were bits of loose. skin beneath her finger nails, evidently scratched from the killer’s face.

HITLER BALKS AT GOERING IN ARMOR

LONDON, Oct. 13 (U. P)—A book, “Goering,” by H. W. BloodRyan, published today, related another of the many stories told of Field Marshal Hermann Goering,

German air minister, and his assortment of uniforms. It was alleged that Marshal Goering and Adolf Hitler attended a-rendition of “Lohengrin” and that while: Herr Hitler dozed, Marshal Goering left their box to talk to friends. The singer who took the part of Lohengrin, clad in shining armor, was escorted to the box to be introduced to Herr Hitler; it was said. The story continued that Herr Hitler, starting up from his sleep, saw the armored Siegfried and said: - “Really, Hermann, this is going too far.”

MUSICAL ROBBERS STEAL AS THEY PLAY

P)). —Thieves employed romance today in a ruse which netted them jewels valued at several thousand lire. guitar player and a tenor gave a serenade in front of the villa where Signora Maria Pagani was packing for her return to Milan after a holiday.

Robot Economist Patented For Mechanical ‘Brain Trust’

—James ‘D.: Mooney of Oyster Bay, N. Y., invited the world today to bring to him its most puzzling economic

Democrats gathed 185 gm in two rallies to hear top-flight the South Side rally at Madison Ave. and Morris

torchlight parade.

He has built a robot economist with a mechanical “brain” which he

any question involving the working

of economic laws. U. S. Patent No. 2,132,514 describes the machine as “an apparatus designed to ilustrate the laws of economics by physical analogies.” The blueprint resembles an exaggerated Rube Goldberg drawing of how to do the family wash by puting a flea on a dog. Mr. Mooney worked out for the Patent Office the solution to the question: “What would happen if the paper money price of gold should be increased?” Even now, the robot’s answer may be on President Roosevelt's desk or in Secretary of Treasury Morgenthau'’s briefcase. He reduced the problem to algebraic equations. DG equals U. S. demand for gold; SG equals U. S. supply of gold; SP equals U. S. supply of paper money; DP equals U. S. demand for paper money; PG is what would happen if the dollar were devalued. - Mr. Mooney then fed his equation into the machine: PG. equal DG over SG times SP or DP. Nothing happened until he poured water into a couple of tanks connected by a series of complicated valves, faucets and pipes. The inventor adjusted a few gadgets, pulled a lever or two and turned a crank. It seemed for a time that the robot was stumped. Finally the robot wheezed and groaned and gave the answer—“Inflation.” That convinced the Patent Office. It issued a patent. The machine demonstrates, Mr. Mooney said, the accuracy of the law of supply and demand by showing that price of gold in terms of paper currency cannot be “pegged.” “An important feature of this invention,” he told the Patent Office, “is the provision of means for demonstrating physically the fact that one cannot interfere to any great extent with the operation of the law of supply and demand by such expedients as orice fixing, etc.”

TAXES TOO HIGH,

GRONINGER SAYS|

‘Waste and Extravagance’ Laid to New Deal in. Talk to Builders.

Taylor Groninger, former Indianapolis = corporation counsel, today charged that New Deal “waste and extravagance” is making the nation “tax ridden.” Speaking before the Builders’ League at noon, Mr. Groninger declared that every citizen pays taxes whether he owns property or not. “If you do not:own property but pay rent, buy food, clothing or pay for utility services,yyou pay taxes— invisible taxes, hidden in the purchase prices you pay,” he said. He referred to a survey made by a Minnesota insurance concern last year which, he said, showed that 25 cents of every rent dollar went to pay taxes. Taxation, he added, took 7 cents of the food dollar, 8 cents of the clothing dollar, 9 cents of the utility service dollar and 10 cents of every general commodity dollar.

Alleys ‘Disgrace,’ Says Wolff

“One activity f the Government at this.time is the relief activity,” he said. “The Republican Party stands pledged to cut out all ‘politics’ in this activity. Government relief must continue until private business can give compensatory employment to the unemployed. But

|we insist that relief be adminis-

tered on a strictly nonpartisan basis.” Meanwhile, Herman C. Wolff, Mayoralty nominee, criticized the condition of Indianapolis alleys in an address before a group of women at 1916 Ralston St. this afternoon. “A city is known by the condition of its streets and alleys, and

the alleys in this City are a disgrace to a civilized community,” Mr. Wolff said. “The WPA might far better have some of the thousands of its workers in this work in Indianapolis and Marion County, than in some of the fanciful boulevard projects in North Indianapolis.”

ways to abandon interurban service between Garyton and Valparaiso. According to the Commission order, Gary Railways would need to spend approximately $25,000 immediately to put the right-of-way in shape. The ocmpany testified that this branch of its system had been operating at a loss for several years and that further operation of this line might endager the financial condition of: the company. Objecotrs to the company’s petition claimed that the line served a large lake resort region in Northern Indiana.
