Both got their par 4s. On the second hole Von Elm hit a drive that was too strong, the ball creeping up the side of a mound, giving him a tricky second shot. Wright, using an iron as he has always on these first three holes, was down -the alley.

Wright got home with a good pitch. Von Elm chipped his ball out from the side of the bank in a masterly fashion. Two putts for each gave them 4s.

D'Oiler, Sanitation Corporation president and Queens sewer scandal witness, who was found shot to death a week ago Sunday and Is officially still neither a suicide nor a murder victim. It was brought in by Gilbert Waldrop, D'Oller's attorney, personal friend and business associate, after three hours of close questioning In the office of District Attorney Rchard S. Newcombe. In a previous interview with the prosecutor, Waldrop had revealed that D'Oiler had "feared something" for several weeks before his unsolved death.

Today, under questioning by newspapermen, he repeated his belief that his friend had been murdered and added that the murder was "due to the sewer scandal." Waldrop Tells of Fears. "You said last week," Mr. Waldrop was reminded, "that D'Oiler feared something before his death. Could you tell us what he feared?" He replied promptly: "He feared three things. He was afraid of a Grand Jury investigation of his activities in the sewer scandal.

He was afraid of the trial of Maurice F. Connolly, the resigned boro presi dent, and other Queens officials. Bust most of all he feared the huge contribution he would have to make to the war chest of Connolly's candidate." "Would yo uexplain what you mean by that?" "That's all I've got to say about it," he answered. Mr. Waldrop was also asked about a telephone call which Assistant District Attorney Thornton had learned, on a trip to Louisville from which he returned today, that Oiler had made the Saturday night before his death by lone distance telephone to Louisville from Waldrop's office.

Discusses Phone Call. "It was impossible for him to have made such a call from my room after 7:30 p.m.," he said, "and I was there until 7:30 with another man. I may have made the call myself." Francis W. D'Oiler, brother of the dead man, came in fiom Philadel-ptrta todayTcr be questioned by Newcombe, who said he was doing "everything humanly possible" to establish whether D'Oiler was murdered or died by his own hand. Newcombe added that he Is pursuing the investigation on the theory that it was a murder until proved otherwise and that "I am not satisfied I have the truth as to the clothing yet." Waldrop also said D'Olier had remarked to him on Saturday afternoon gefore his death: "I am afraid when I get through with Queens I will have lost a friendship of long standing." Newcomb referred to the rips or tears said to have been found on the coat and vest of D'Olier when he was Continued on Page 2.

TO CREATE Takes First Step Toward Building New Interboro Traffic Lanes. It became known today that Mayor Walker already has conferred with several eminent engineers regarding the construction of new inter-boro traffic lanes on a toll- basis, In line with his recent promise to further, by eveTy means In his power, any plan assuring relief of the existing vehicular congestion In the streets of the city.

Acts on Subcommittee Report. Tills is in conformity with the recommendation of the subcommittee on traffic of the Mayor's big survey and city planning committee, which went out of existence this summer after giving two years of study to the major municipal problems.

At City Hall the belief obtains that Mayor Walker has at last come to realize the absolute necessity of the early construction of thoroughgoing traffic improvements the accomplishments of which are impossible, at least in the near future, if the expense, running into the hundreds of millions of dollars, is to be borne by the city treasury. He therefore has become an earnest advocate of the proposal to allow private capital to finance badly needed public works which the municipality itself cannot undertake perhaps for many years to come. Mayor Ready to Listen. He is ready to listen to the advice of competent engineers who can have no other inferest in the matter than to benefit the city at large as to the right location of the proposed vehicular tunnels and additional bridges. These engineers and not rs Hoard of Estimate are to decide Just where the traffic improvements are most necessary to relieve traffic congestion.
