" IGECALSRALS CORPORATINTOYS President of Great Western Favors Constructive Acts by Congress. B3 the Associated Press. President Patrick H. Joyce of the Chicago, Great Western Railroad told Senate investigators today the Na- tion’s raflways “are being used as & foot ball by holding companies and everybody else.” He asserted that if Congress “is able to stop it, it will accomplish a job nobody else ever has.” He testified before the Senate Rail- road Finance Committee that he was “not trying to stop” any construc- tive legislation which might result from its inquiry, but would “be glad to see it.” “We should have 30 per cent more people working for the railroads to- day,” he declared “And why don't we have them? Because we are crucified for bad | management whenever we spend a | little money.” District of Columbia and are sure that neither the piece of cotton rope tied around Keene's neck or the length of water-proofed marlin rope, which was tied around his waist, came from the boat. There is no thin marlin rope used | on the District of Columbia, it was said. The marlin rope apparently had been tied to a heavy weight, which kept Keene's body below the surface. One end of the rope was frayed, indi- cating it had broken under the strain or had been cut by scraping on oyster shells on the bottom of the bay. Smiths Island fishermen who re- moved the marlin rope from the body cast it on the beach and investigators have been unable to €nd it. The rope is obtainable only at a ship chandler's or on a boat, and may be one of the most valuable clues in the case, it was pointed out. Brubaker indicated that future de- velopments in the investigation will hinge on results of the tests of the bullet If it is determined that the bullet is the same make as those found in Keene's pocket, the suicide theory will be strengthened, Brubaker said. Keene owned a .32-caliber pistol, but | it had not been seen for two years. Blood on Bunk Puzzle. Most puzzling of the many clues in the case is the fact blood was found on the bunk in Keene's room, on the wash | basin, on the handrail below his win- dow and on the aft deck guard rail | He made his statement with con- siderable heat after Acting Chairman Truman had remarked “I think that wholly owned subsid- faries are just as bad for the rail- ways as holding companies are for the carriers and the public utilities.” Joyce, an cutspoken, gruff-voiced Irishman, agreed that in some cir- cumstances the subsidiaries were “bad | for the railroads.” He pleaded for Government co-operation “We are going to help them by taking them out of high finance.” | Truman replied.

Dr. W. F. Stout of Smiths Island says Keene was struck a terrific blow over his left eye about 45 minutes before he was shot. Irrespective of what decision the State police reach, the case will re- main on Maryland crime records as an unsolved murder unless a grand jury convenes and reverses the verdict of & coroner’s jury, which met on Smiths Island following recovery of the body Monday.
