Senator Tobey presses inquiry into O Dwyer ambassadorship
Senator Tobey proposes the Senate Foreign Relations Committee examine whether William O'Dwyer should remain as Ambassador to Mexico in light of conflicting testimony before the Senate crime investigations. He said the issue could be raised before the committee, which previously approved his appointment, while O'Dwyer and witnesses dispute perjury or tax evasion claims linked to Murder, Inc. investigations.

Living Cost Rises Steeply In January and February
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported a 1.3 percent February increase under new computation, lifting the index to 183.8 versus 181.5 in January and 9.5 percent above a year ago, with a 13 percent rise from January 15 to February 15. The change could affect a 6 cent hourly wage rise for 1,000,000 railroad workers. White-way lights failed on North Market and East Patrick streets as electricians traced a short in underground wiring beneath a concrete apron.

Drop In Sales Reflects Lull In Inflation
Washington reports indicate February retail sales rose 16 percent from a year earlier but fell 3 percent from January after seasonal adjustment. The Federal Reserve notes department store sales for the week ending March 17 were down about 4 percent from the prior week, with only 31 percent more than 1950’s week. Total February retail sales across all stores were 10.79 billion dollars versus 11.85 billion in January. Inventories remain at high historic levels as consumer buying slackens ahead of Easter. Analysts say the slowdown may be temporary as the defense program expands, diverting resources from civilian goods.

Four-Hour Meeting Yields Little Progress Says Western Source
Paris March 23 four Deputy Foreign Ministers met in secret for four hours in an informal exchange of views. An official Western source said very little was accomplished and a deadlock has long been evident as they resume open meetings tomorrow. Differences arose over Soviet proposals led by Andrei Gromyko with France and Britain seeing the American approach as less flexible. A French observer noted divergences of views without overstatement while the United States Britain and France previously stood united though Britain and France now show more eagerness to reach agreement. U S delegate Philip Jessup has strong backing from Washington for his stance.

No Execution Date Yet Set for Leiby in 1849 Slaying
Merlin James Leiby remains without an execution date after the Florida Supreme Court denied his petition for clemency more than two months ago. He was convicted of first degree murder in the slaying of Baltimore pharmacist Leonard Applebaum during a robbery attempt, and his defense argues lack of proof of Collier county jurisdiction and improper jury handling. Leiby’s confession and claimed self defense are cited in appeals as issues.

Leiby Case Highlight Confession Admission Raises Questions
Assistant Attorney General Phil Lip Goldman defended Leiby’s confession as voluntary and argued the murder occurred shortly before the body was placed under the bridge. He asserted grand and trial juries were not prejudiced or unlawfully separated as Leiby remains indicted for larceny and fled to Florida two years ago. A separate item notes Robert J. Castle was jailed for intoxication and peace disturbance, released on $100 collateral.
