MISSING WOMAN IS OBJECT OF SEARCH IN THREE NATIONS Police Efforts Fail to Link Torso Murder With Miss Tufvertson AUTOPSY DISPROVES THEORY Chemist's Analysis Shows Stains in Trunk Not Made by Blood (By the Associated Press) Stains on the inside of a trunk in the apartment of Capt.

Both the woman and the baby are still unidentified despite efforts by Scotland yard assisted by Sir Bernard Spilsbury of the home o‘fice, Europe's most famous criminologist. Failure to link any developments with the case of the missing Miss Tufvertson resulted Wednesday in a final dictum to the pelice of three continents—find the body. It was a race against time, Vienna’ Police asserting they could not con- tinue to hold Captain Poderjay in con. nection with the case unless the body were found, or a specific charge was) Placed against him.

While it established a peace- time record for appropriations and Obligations, experts said the to- tal fell far short of the $36,000,- 000,000 outlay authorized by the wartime congress. A striking feature is the lack of unanimity about the statistics. Some mentioned $6,800,000,000, others as high as $17,900,000,000 for the regular seasion just clos- ed. The bigger figures were ob- tained by reckoning potential ex- Penditures and all the money the government would be liable to pay if things went bad—$4,000,000,000 worth of home and farm loan Guarantees, for instance.
