Mother Will Get Another Test Today CHICAGO, June 19 IP Police planned to give a pretty 24-year-old mother a second lie detector test today to check her story of the man. who came to her bedroom shortly after midnight yesterday and strangled her three-year-old son. A lie detector test yesterday was inconclusive, police said, because Mrs. Betty Barrows was emotianally distaught. Ijv San Pedro, the child's father, Louis Drazin, Mrs.

Wednes- i day. Neujahr had turned into the added up to about 2,000,000 gallons, which cost the army air forces around $600,000. Didn't Know About Gas The WAA didn't know about the gasoline; when it did learn this precious fluid was aboard the junked planes, Frank Creedon, the deputy administrator (who later became housing administrator) ordered it sold.

His underlings ignored him. And a good thing they did, too, said Wunderlich. When he bought those planes, he said he also bought the gas in the tanks. So he started melting down the airplanes, stacking away the parts that could be used again, and getting ready to sell the stuff to any customers who might possibly want it. His best patron, it developed, was the army air force which bought from him (through intermediaries) parts from the same planes it had sold him.

The army claims this was a good deal; Sen. Ferguson will ask some more questions later about that. "And did you sell any parts to any foreign governments?" the senator asked. "Well, I think perhaps we did," Wunderlich said. "We sold some motors to Brazil.

Or maybe it was to the Argentine." "Don't you know?" Sen. Ferguson insisted. "Not rightly, I don't," Wunderlich replied. It was at this juncture that the Fergusonian rose-bud gave up the fight to live. department in Lincoln, plans for a campaign were considered, and Tell It and sell it.

OTHMAN WASHINGTON, June 19 (LP) It takes an exceedingly near-sighted fellow to mislay a B-29. When he overlooks 40 of these aerial Behemoths parked in the sunshine on a field in Arizona he either wears smoked glasses, with blinders attached, or he works for the poor old War Assets Administration. Sen. Homer Ferguson of Michigan had a pink rose in his lapel when he opened his inquiry into the 5,000 odd (odd is a good word) surplus bombers the WAA peddled to a road contractor from Jefferson City, Mo. The rose was wilted and so was the senator before he discovered how an airplane counter can look at a four-motored war plane and not see it.

Counted Four Times The mighty ships were parked wing to wing, as far as the eye could see on a level stretch of desert near Kingman, Ariz.

Four times they counted the planes and four times they sent a different answer to Washington, testified John H. Carey, the WAA's head airplane salesman.

He shuffled the papers and decided the most likely number was 5,483. So he sold that number of ships to Martin Wunderlich, the portly road builder from Missouri, for $2,780,000. Wunderlich was incensed. The papers he got indicated that he'd bought 5,543 airplanes. He wanted 'em.

The boys ordered another count. were to be married at 2 p. m. today Vernon Weber, JayCee chairman for the project, enlisted the aid of members to make inspection trips through the business district.
