Murder of Pretty Young Girl in Capitol Garage
Miss Jessie Elizabeth Strieff, 23, a Iowa-born stenographer at the war department, was found raped and strangled in De Witt Croissant's private garage near DuFont Circle. Police suspect a single slayer may be linked to a similar daylight rape and murder of Mrs. Rose Abramowitz three months prior. Senator Herring demanded action as investigators question a Black janitor. Strieff had been missing since yesterday after leaving with a man to buy butter. Settlement of the Thailand French Indochina boundary places Angkor Tuing in Indo-China.

Study to end M. P. land fight with Northern Pacific
Washington June 16 The house public lands committee reviewed Attorney General Jacksons proposal to end long running litigation with the Northern Pacific Railway over title to 7 9 million acres along the railroads right of way. The action follows a 75 year old land grant to aid a transcontinental line. Norman Jittell Assistant Attorney General said the government has paid about 700000 since 1929 and could spend 75000 to 100000 yearly to continue. A tentative deal would yield about 200000 in cash to the government. The attorney general asked Congress for guidance before proceeding. The senate lands committee approved the agreement and the house committee will be recalled to act. In New York WPA adult education offers a shorthand medical terminology course as defense time needs.
