Peek Beneath Tent as Profits Probe Unfolds in War Shell Case
Senator Brewster calls the Senate War Investigating Committee’s move a mere peek under the tent as it demands White House income records and war department help over defective shells blamed for soldier deaths. Maj. Gen. Alden H. Waitt cites design flaws and says no single producer can be blamed. The Garsson munitions network and May’s testimony loom as hearings pause for word on when he will testify.

Indictments Sought in Heirens Kidnap and Lipstick Slayings
Chicago state's attorney William J. Tuohy announced plans to seek murder indictments from the Cook county grand jury against 17 year old William Heirens for the Suzanne Degnan kidnapping and the Frances Brown lipstick murder. He said evidence would be presented by assistants Wilbert Crowley and Richard B. Austin with eight other witnesses including police officers and James Degnan. A fingerprint on the Degnan ransom note and palm prints on the Brown lipstick message matched Heirens. Witnesses would include George Subgranski who identified Heirens near the Degnan home and Viola Butler among others. Tuohy denied any confession by Heirens. The report notes prior unsubstantiated claims of a confession and references the lipstick message left in Brown’s apartment.
