Police said insurance papers scattered on the floor indicated the automobile belongs to Earl C. Laidlaw, Portland, Me. contractor or building materials

The coupe was virtually undamaged. Deputies notified State Police, who in turn were to contact Maine police in an effort to

Mystery in Death

1 _— Mary B. Powers, wealthy recluse who last year turned down a $24,540.90 dividend check because she didn't need it, was as much a mystery in death today as she

N

was in life.

Miss Powers, believed to be in her late 60's, died at 6 p. m. yesterday in the hotel suite where she had lived alone. Only a few hotel employees saw her for more

than 15 years.

” = *” THE STORY of Miss Powers came out in March of last year when the state of Pennsylvania claimed the $24,540.90 accumulated over a period of six years in dividends from the Glen Alden) Coal Co. Miss Powers, who inherited the stock from her sister, Caroline, said she didn't want to

be bothered with the dividends.

A Scranton, Pa., court ordered the dividends paid to the state treasury under a Pennsylvania law giving unclaimed dividends to the state. In mid-March, Miss Powers changed her mind and

collected the money.

give their views on a rough draft drawn up behind locked doors by the platform committee.

Some 40 members of the T4man committee met all day yesterday in convention headquarters at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel. They drew up a tentative foreign policy plank which pledged the new party to continue negotiations with Russia “to find areas of agreement to win the peace.” It also called for ‘repudiation of the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan for European Recovery. Same World Platform Committee Chairman Dr. Rexford G. Tugwell, former Puerto Rico governor and early New Deal brain truster, said the tentative foreign ‘policy plank recognized that capitalist America and Communist Russia can and must live ‘together in the same world. Agreement on the Soviet declaration was declared to be unanimous. Actual convention sessions open Friday night and run through Sunday when the platform will be formally adopted.

Hoodlums Keep: Police Busy Here

Youths Elude Gang in Car

A hoodlum gang, two peepingtoms, an alleged burglar and a robbery victim kept police busy on the petty crime front last night. Robert Seal, 21, of 3355 Park Ave. told police he observed “six or seven men” in a car following his automobile as he drove. away from a North Side drive-in. With Mr. Seal was Miss Joan Callanan, 19, of 535 Edgehill Rd. The gang followed his car across Kessler Blvd. to the Pendleton Pike, Mr. Seal said. There the car crowded his vehicle to the side of the road and the men got out. As they approached his car, Mr.| Seal said he stepped on the gas and got away. Answering reports that peep-| ing-toms were peering through windows in the 900 block of N. Alabama St., and 2800 block of! Adams St; police had no luck in capturing the night prowlers.

A police squad cruising by the Weir-Holly Restaurant, 1411 W. 19th St., early today saw an open door and ‘stopped to investigate. Inside the cafe they found a man huddled behind the refrigerator. They said they discovered burglar tools lying near the cigaret machine and arrested the man, who gave his name as Melvin Mills, 36, of 1620 Cornell Ave., on |a charge of vagrancy.
