CHEESE DEALER IN DEATH QUIZ Authorities Question Easton, | Pa., Couple in Death of Waitress. By the Associated Press. EASTON, Pa, June 17.—A killer whose carefully laid crime escaped detection for at least a month was hunted today for the strangling of Edith Ford, a 36-year-old waitressand silk-mill worker, and the dumping of her nude, stone-weighted body into a cistern. Authorities, meantime, were ques- tioning Giuseppe Cimo, 50-year-old milk and cheese dealer, and prepared also to interrogate his wife. Deputy Coroner Theodore Reich- baum announced Cimo denied know- ing anything of Miss Ford's death. Dr. Reichbaum added that Cimo had been seen in the company of the woman, whose body was found in the 18-foot cistern at nearby Bangor | Junction Saturday. | A jealousy motive was advanced by rome detectives as being under in- vestigation in the slaying. The deputy coroner said evidence pointed to careful preparation for the crime by the slayer, and that he may have had help in placing the body in the cistern, since the stone tied to it weighed about 175 pounds. A glove was the lone article of clothing found in the cistern. Miss Ford's body had been bound with wire and a quarter-inch wire had been used to strangle her. Investigators said they ®elieve she was stunned by a blow before the wire was drawn about her throat. A bruise extended along | the right side of her head, and her right wrist was broken. DARK AGES’ RETURN | IS FEARED BY HULL| Barbarism Sure if Nations Per-| sist in “Self Sufficiency,” He | Tells Michigan Graduates. By the Associated Press ANN ARBOR, Mich., June 17.—A return to the “dark ages” of barbarism and savagery was foreseen here today by Secretary Hull if the nations of | the world persist in pursuing & policy | of “self-sufficiency.” | Addressing the graduating class of the University of Michigan, Hull said | there were but two alternatives: “Either we go forward to other great- er achievements of material and spir- jtual culture, with a concomitant | growth of every kind of material and | spiritual interchange within each na- tion and as between nations, or we must recognize that our culture has reached its apex and is entering into definite decline and decay. “In the latter case—and in that case only—every manner of relation- ship built up in preceding centuries will become loosened and dissolved and nations will again schieve ‘self- sufficiency’ —the self-sufficiency of barbarism and savagery.” The Secretary of State asserted that while the United States was experiencing domestic cconomic re- covery, “the situation in the interna- tional fizld is still deteriorating.” He said he was not one who thought & new world war inevitable, nor did he believe a major war abroad would involve this country. Nevertheless, he said. “any clash abroad would at best so dislocate the slow progress of re- covery here that we Lould not in the long run avoid its disastrous effects.
