We will go the limit to settls this controversy and make every con- cession which reasonable-minded men can be expected to make.” Green repeated his denial that the belief of the C. I. O. in industrial or vertical unionism was the cause of the suspension of its 10 member unions from the American Federation of Labor, asserting the issue was whether s rival organization could be set up within the A, F. of L. to carry out a repumnud by the federation’s | arms examination, code analysis and an hour and Wheatley raised the | the report of the F.

A on a hit-and-run charge in Albemarle | = strands of hair as having come from the same head, his examination of the two samples showed they were identical in color, fineness of scale structure, thickness of cuticle and cortex, diameter of medulls and dise tribution of pigment and air cells. Suspect Convieted. He said it was “reasonable” to con- clude that the hairs found on the car were those of the victim. The | expert so testified at the trial, and this testimony, with other evidence, led to the man’'s conviction and ime prisonment. In an Ohio case police asked the laboratory to examine tool marks found on a looted safe in comparison with & set of burglar's tools found in the automobile of four suspects. With the aid of their microscopes the experts were able to report that the marks had been made by a pair of pincers having distinctive defects. Scrapings found beneath the finger- nails of one of the men then were analyzed and found to be particles of paint similar to the paint on the safe. On the basis of this evidence the quartet was convicted of the burglary. Case Brought From Montana. ‘The laboratory recently received from Plentywood, Mont, a single thread found on a sledge hammer at the scene of a burglary, and pieces of fabric from the clothing of two | suspects. The microscope showed the thread was of a cotton fiber similar to that in the trousers of one of the suspects. Chemical anlysis disclosed that the same type of dye was used in coloring the thread and the clothe ing of the suspect. A petrographic analysis (study of dust for mineral qualities) revealed minute particles of metal and dirt on the thread found at the scene of the crime. A similar study of the cizthing fibers of the two suspects 'ed similar particles of dust on their trousers. The two men have been charged with the burglary and are to be tried shortly. Such examinations in purely local crimes are performed free of charge for State, county and municipal law enforcement agencies, in line with Director J. Edgar Hoover's policy of | co-operating with local authorities. WHEB! TO Dl\l Toronto Tea Room 20th & P Sts. N.W.
