o ] The Sundoy Shar GOODWIN MURDER NEAR SOLUTION, POLICE INDICATE Package Resembling Cam- . era Taken From 16th ; Street Home. FINGERPRINT CLUE MAY BE UNDER STUDY Janitor Adheres to Story Regard- ing Discovery of Treasury Typ- ist's Body. Following a painstaking search of the Sixteenth street home where Mrs. Florence Goodwin was slain Friday, police last night expressed confidence they were nearing a solution of the brutal crime. ‘The investigators apparently cen- tered their efforts on the large second- floor room where the 43-yesr-old Gov- ernment typist was slugged. Detectives refused to divulge the re- sults of the search and would not say ‘whether any incriminating finger- prints were found. Shortly before they : left the house at 1102 Sixteenth street, however, one of the investigators was sent to police headquarters and re- purned carrying a package resembling & camera. This resulted in rumors that fingerprints had been discovered. Ropmer Raps At Door. Although police said. they attached no significance to it, it developed yes- ‘terday that one of the roomers in the house had gone to Mrs. Goodwin's ‘yoom mbout 6:40 a.m. Friday—about ‘three hours before her body was found i=—to “borrow a dollar.” He said he ;xappetl on the door, but left when he § ived no response. E ;“;;nnwhfle, police continued _their Qquestioning of Carl D. Chase, 23, col- ored janitor in the boarding house that Mis. Goodwin operated in addi- tion to her work in the Procurcment Diyision of the Treasury Department. | He. has been transferred from the third to the sixth precinct station house, where police said there were fewer prisoners, and consequentiy less danger of interruptions. Although the investigators are not ready' to release Chase, there were | o indications they had succeeded in | breaking down his story of innocence. | Janitor's Story Unshaken. Chase has steadfastly insisted he knows nothing about the murder and did not see or hear anything unusual in the house the day Mrs. Goodwin was killed except that he noticed the shaker was missing when he came to work Friday morning. His trousers were sent to a chemist €0 be analyzed for possible blood stains,' and the material under his| fingernails also was removed for chemical examination. Police said they had received no report as yet | from the chemist. Mrs. Goodwin's body was found on the bed by Mrs. Alphonzo Billups, one of the roomers. Her head had been| smashed by five blows from a blunt | instrument, presumably the blood- stained shaker that was found later insidd the furnace. Mrs. Billups inves- tigated when Mrs. Goodwin failed to appear. at her usual time. The time of Mrs. Goodwin’s death was fixed at about 7:30 a.m.—approximate- Jy the time she would have been get- ting up to go to work. That she had been up before the slayer entered her foom was indicated by the fact she was dressed in underclothes and bath- robe when her body was found. Difficult for Stranger. These factors have puzzied police, since, if she was killed by an outsider, the intruder must have entered and left ‘the house while other roomers were up, although al lsaid they did not see any one. It was also learned that the police are still looking for another man, sup- ly a discharged janitor. That they know where he is was indicated * when officers denied that any suspect has left the city. ‘Married about eight years ago Mrs. Goodwin had been estranged from ner i husband, Benton Goodwin, several §years. He is supposed to be in Cali- fornia. PUBLIC LIBRARIES CHANGE SCHEDULES *Ysual Fall and Winter Hours Re- sumed at Central Building and Branches.

MILK CONTROL STARTSTOMORROW FOR CAPITAL AREA Aplin Named Administrator of Marketing Plan for Distributors. COURT CHALLENGE OF PROGRAM HINTED Dliry. and Consumers’ Council Voiced Opposition During Hearings. Over the protests of some consumer and producer factions and of the larg- est independent dairy in Washington, Federal control of the District'’s milk supply begins at 12:01 a.m. tomorrow. ‘The hotly-debated Washington milk marketing agreement was signed by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace Thursday, and Richard D. Aplin, 33- year-old dairy expert, was appointed yesterday to administer it. The agreement may be challenged in the courts. Its opponents, unable to prevail upon the Agricultural Ad- justment Administration to drop the idea of Federal control, first advanced at hearings two months ago, have in- dicated they may seek to halt it by legal means. A similar control plan in Boston, of which Aplin was assistant administra- tor, was suspended by court order in July. Supporters of the agreement include: The Maryland and Virginia Milk Producers’ Association, purporting to represent 1100 of the 1,300 dairy farmers shipping milk to the Washing- ton market, which initiated the request for an agreément. ‘The dairy section of the A. A. A, which modeled the program and de- clares that 84 per cent of this area's producers favor it, and that it will not cause higher retail prices, Opponents are: Fairfax Farms Dairy, threatening, | through Attorneys Sefton Darr and | Louis Obergh, to seek from District Court an injunction staying the | agreement. Consumers’ Council Opposed. ‘The Washington Consumers’ Coun- | cil, fearful of a retail price rise, de- claring it will ask the Senate to in- vestigate the A. A.

A few hundred independent pro- ducers, who feel they will be prevented from continuing to sell their milk to handlers at the rates below those stip- ulated under the agreement. Aplin, the new administrator, is not a Federal employe. Although pro- @ucers and distributors’ groups had no say in his appointment, his salary and the administrative expenses of his office are to be paid by them. An official of the A. A. A. Information Division, questioned regarding Aplin’s salary, said he did not know the amount, but presumed it was “some- where around $5,000 & year.” The marketing agreement was established under a section of the agricultural adjustment act not in- validated by the Supreme Coutt in its otherwise sweeping A. A. A. decision. A clause in this agreement states that administrative expens®s, including the administrator’s salary, shall be paid by a pro rata assessment of handlers amounting to not more than 2 cents per 100 pounds of all milk delivered to them by producers during each monthly delivery period. : Must Report Receipts. Each month the milk distributors will report to Aplin receipts of :nilk from producers, and the use and sales of milk, to enable him to compute the uniform prices which all hgndlers will pay farmers. Aplin must make his findings public. Aplin will assign to each producer @ “base” which, for the rest of this year, will be 75 per cent of deliveries during October, November and De- cember, 1935. For that quantity of milk represented by this base the pro- ducer will receive from handlers $3.02 per 100 pounds. The remainder of the money accru- ing to handlers from the sale of class 1 and class 2 milk—classed accord- ing to its utilization, whether for fluid milk or as cream or ice cream— will be distributed as a uniforpn price (See MILK Page Signs Printed to Protest Sale Of Franco Goods to Aid Rebels Mysterious Backer of Spain’s _Loyal'ists to Picket Auction With Placards Saying “Defeat Fascism.” Poséibility that the issues at stake in the Spanish civil war may be threshed out before a Washington auc- tion room tomorrow came to light last night with the news that a mysterious Loyalist backer is having placards printed asking a boycott of the sale of the effects of Maj.

Youth Seizes Purse Snatcher In Flying Tackle After Chase Taylor, Brother of Rose | Bowl Star, Tries to Hide Heroism. A. C. Taylor, jr, a modest young | man of 22, captured a colored purse- snatcher yesterday with a flying tackle learned from his foot-ball- | playing brother, Archie, Alabama Uni- versity Rose Bowl star. Seeing the thief running from the Lenox “Building, Taylor- dove 8 feet through the air and pinioned him with arms made strong by months of ice-toting a 1a Red Grange. The colored man had snatched a pocketbook containing $28 from the desk of Mrs. Ella Stowell, 5026 Il- linois avenue, an employe in the Pub- lic Roads Bureau branch in the Lenox Building. Mrs. Stowell saw him and screamed. Her cries attracted J. M. | Lowe, 200-pound building guard. Down five flights of stairs ran Lowe in pursuit, shouting “Stop thief!" However, the colored man soon out- distanced the guard and ran toward Fifteenth and L streets. Drops Ice, Chases Fugitive. FEluding & would-be captor by a gesture that suggested he had a knife, the thief plunged into the middle of Fifteenth street trafic. Taylor, re- turning from a delivery, dropped a 25- pound block of ice and started after the fugitive. Felled once by the youthful ice- man, the thief struggled to free him- self but was dragged down again. ‘Taylor dug his knee into the man’s chest until all the fight had left him, then grabbed him by the belt and marched him toward a police call box. A crowd had gathered, meanwhile, and others undertook to hold the col- ored man. Taylor modestly slipped into the crowd, got into his ice truck and went about his usual business. Taylor disclosed last night at his home, 1309 N street, that exciting ex- periences were not new to him.

An effort to obtain the telegraphic correspondence of two industrial de- tective companies was dropped abrupt- 1 yesterday by the La Follette Sena- torial Committee investigating alleged violation of civil liberties in labor dis- putes. With a court hearing on the com- mittee’s right to seize the telegrams scheduled tomorrow morning, investi | gators for the group announced they | were “not particularly interested in | seeing the messages just at this tim | The investigators said they had no- | tified the Western Union and Postal | Telegraph Cos. they had withdrawn | subpoenas for the telegrams of the | Railway Audit & Inspection Co. and | its affiliate, the Central Industrial Service Co. A suit seeking to enjoin disclosure of the correspondence was filed last Tuesday by the two firms, W. W. Groves, their president, and & group of their officers and employes. The District grand jury has been asked by the La Follette committee to consider a “contumacy” indictment | against Groves and five other of the companies’ officers who refused to testify at the committee’s first hearing August 21." The jury's report is ex- pected early this week, investigators said. ‘The decision to halt efforts to ob- tain the telegrams was announced after a four-hour conference between Senator La Follette, Progressive, of Wisconsin, and Robert Wohlforth, committee secretary. La Follette left immediately after- ward for New York. He is expected to return before Tuesday, when the committee will resume public hear- ings. Committee agents said they had completed & month's task of piecing together torn letters seized from the waste baskets of the Railway Audit & Inspection Co.
