Stanley of New Madrid arrived they found Mrs. Murphy's body. The car had been driven eff a gravel highway that parallels the levee into secluded side-road. Sheriff Stanley said robbery apparently was the motive. It was known that Dr.

Vickery usually carried considerable money. There was only 12 cents in the physician's pocket and his billfold was missing. There was no woman's purse in the car, although Mrs. Murphy cus tomarily carried one. A watch on the physician's wrist watch was still running and his bag of instru ments and medicine were in the car, Officers were told Dr.

Finds It Hard to Understand Why Claimants Ask to Be Paid for Working in Own Interests. DECISION UNLIKELY FOR SEVERAL WEEKS Court Considering Requests for Allowances of $891, 182 Made by 44 Individ uals and 7 Banks. With most of the claimants for $891,182 in fees and expenses in the reorganization of the Public Service Co. contending that their work performed primarily In behalf of the respective financial interests thev represented had a di rect bearing on the recent successful outcome of the plan, United states District Judee Charles B. Davis took the claims under advisement yesterday.

In a two-day session he had heard many of the attorneys and bankers, who were among the principal claimants, tell of their services. No briefs are to be filed. It was indicated that the Court might not rule on the claims for several weeks. There has been considerable speculation in financial and legal circles as to whether he would cut them sharply. The reorganizers had estimated last June that fees and expenses would not exceed $500,000.

Judge's Comment. The Judge interrupted one law yer claimant, a representative of one of the security holders' pro tective committees, with this declaration yesterday: "This is more in the nature of asking for an argument than it is in the nature of a question requir ing an answer. 1 ve uvea in tnis case for six years and know the stands certain groups have taken from time to time in the case and how zealous they were in the in terests of their own groups, and I have just a little difficulty in comprehending why now they say: 'We deserve compensation from the debtor (the company); what we have done, the contribution we made, is a contribution to the debtor and, therefore, we deserve compensation from it' That i3 one of the questions that bothers me." Claimants asserting directly or in effect that their services were beneficial to the bankrupt estate and the financial reorganization were the Reorganization Committee, the protective committees for United Railways bonds. City Suburban bonds, gold notes and damage claimants, and counsel for all the foregoing groups; two of the nine banks which made a $10, 000,000 loan to the old company, counsel for eight of these banks, and three corporate officials of the old company in the period of trus teeship and receivership. Based on Clause In Plan.

Besides the foregoing claimants, applications for allowances were made by lawyers who filed the re ceivership suit in 1933, lawyers who filed a virtually disregarded invol untary bankruptcy suit the next year, lawyers who interposed liti gation in behalf of some bondholders, Indenture trustees and their counsel, and depositories for the old bonds. All claimants evidently relied on paragraph 7 of the re organization plan, covering "ex penses and costs of which says: The reorganized company shall pay in cash all costs and expenses of administration and other allowances which may be approved or made by the Court in these proceedings, including allowance for services and expenses of protective committees, the Reorganization Committee, indenture trustees, the company, officers of the Court for the management of the property of the debtor and the counsel of all such persons, corporations or groups, whether the services were rendered in connection with formulating the plan of reorganization, were rendered in connection with any of the controversies which arose in the reorganization proceedings or the Continued on Page 8, Column 1.

16 (AP). Soviet Russian troops, attacking in force after a 10-day artillery preparation which raked forests on the Taipale River, today were hurled back by Finnish troops after a furious battle, the Finnish army reported. uhe Finnish communique de clared Russia lost hundreds of men and 14 of 50 Russian tanks were destroyed. The Finns also said four Russian tanks "drove up to our positions and surrendered." The attack was aimed at out posts of the Mannerheim line on the Karelian Isthmus, which Russia has failed to penetrate since the war began 17 days ago. A few battalions of hardy, khaki- clad Finns near Lake Ladoga, who have endured artillery shells from two sides day and night for more than a week, still were holding the north bank of the Taipale River.

Around them, trees have been splintered and the earth torn by the steady pounding of Soviet shells. Attack by BO Tanks. Farther down the river, toward Lake Suvanto, where the Finns voluntarily withdrew a week ago and permitted the Russians to cross, the Soviet command launched 50 tanks. Only 32 returned to the Russian lines after the battle, the Finns said. Two days ago, as I watched from a trench above the Taipale, Russian batteries poured 10 to 15 shells every minute into a small woods on the Finnish side of the stream, apparently the prelude to today's at tack.

The Finns did not waste ammunition to reply, saying the Russians were shelling without an objective. The Ladoga sector has been par ticularly hot as the Russians can shell Finish positions from flanking points on the lake, where heavy guns have been mounted on boats. There are craters 10 feet in diameter in the forest results of shells from the lake guns. The Finnish communique gave no estimate of Finnish losses in to day's fighting. Finnish shore batteries also sank a Russian patrol ship attack ing off the coast of Kotka, the communique declared.

Yesterday the Finns reported sinking a Rus sian destroyer Izi a similar action. Russian troops were repulsed ev erywhere except in the Far North where Finnish soldiers were retreat ing near Salmijarvi, the Finnish high command reported, and enemy casualties on several fronts reach into the hundreds. The communique covered yesterday's ac tion. Battle Impending In North. A decisive battle appeared- near at Pitkajarvi, about 12 miles south of Salmijarvi, where dispatches via Norway said the retreating Finns were digging in and waiting the onslaught of the invading Red Army.

Russian tanks, trucks and bomb ing planes were seen moving into the Salmijarvi sector. Lakes and a river form a natural barrier near Pitkajarvi which would help the defenders. Russian troops were reported fleeing before counter-attacking Finns in the middle of Finland at Tolvajarvi near the frontier. The Finns said the "spoils of war continue to mount" in the Tolvajarvi sector and a battle in the Suomus-salmi district is "proceeding toward a conclusion." A Russian column has been at tempting to move across the narrow middle of Finland and cut the country in two since the start of the war. Concerning sea warfare, the com munique said: "Enemy naval detachments oper ated with particular ferocity in the eastern Gulf of Finland, launching destroyer and motorboat attacks in the vicinity of the Haapasaarl Islands where one enemy patrod vessel was destroyed." Finnish anti-aircraft batteries shot' down one enemy plant during the day, the communique reported, although there was little air activ Four Neutral Vessels and cnusn i ameer oen Down by Mines or Tor pedoes in Last 24 Hours.

GERMAN MINISTER HEARS FROM BERLIN Unconfirmed Broadcast Says Admiral Scheer With Submarines Is, on Wav tn. niu Nazi Raider.

With the ship now pointed at the opening of the breakwater, it would be necessary only to hoist anchors and glide out of the harbor. A strong wind which was blowing earlier In the night died down about midnight and clouds and a slight fog shrouded the vessel.

This heiptitpnprt hellcf ttiaf Vi Graf Spee would not leave the har bor at least beforo this afternoon. The German Minister, Dr.

Oico Langmann, officially confirmed reports that he had requested an ex tension of time. Some quarters expressed the feel ing that Uruguay was willing to grant an extension of time if its naval experts recommended it, but was unlikely to gree to an indefi nite period asked for by Germany. Earlier in the night, thousands jammed the nearest docks straining for a veiw of the warship as its crew sought to make it battle worthy. Welders apparently placed a huge plate over the hole torn in its port bow during last Wednesday's battle with British cruisers, two of which are waiting outside the territorial waters for the Graf Spee.
