Investigated by Detectives
Boston, Mass., Dec. 16 (U.R) Homicide detectives today Investi

were asked to check into the
case.
Dr. Brickley said the girl was
an expectant mother and that
death resulted from blood poi
soning due to perforation of an
Internal organ. He said he was
unable to determine in the
autopsy whether she had under
gone a criminal operation which
might have led her to death.
Miss Costello collapsed while

Thursday and was admitted to
Georgetown hospital as an era
ergency patient. She was found

has a "mechanical kidney,"
device used in such cases.

by Dr. Leary, her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph J. Costello of

Va., the pilot of a Capital Air
lines DC-3 which craslied Mon
day night In the Potomac river
at Washington killing him and
three others.

parents said they had hurried
to the capital from Kansas after
being telephoned by their daugh
ter's landlady and told of her
Illness.
"We are Just poor people,
Costello said. "We had not seen
our Jean for two years.
"It was her first real Job
clnce graduating from high
school and her mother and
went to see her at her Washing

Farm Bureau
Raps Brannan
Chicago, Dec. 18 W) The
American farm bureau federa
tion convention today heard the
Brannan farm program termed
"an opening wedge which event
ually would result in government
supervision and permament ag
ricultural poverty."
"There is no good reason why
the government should pay part
of the grocery bill of every cit
izen," a resolution read to dele
gates to the 31st annual con
vention of the federation ad
ded. The Brannan plan resolution
and others were submitted to
the convention for action. A
vote is expected late today, and
the tone of the first three days
of the meeting pointed to ap
proval of the farm organiza
tion's policy statement.
Federation leaders have
spoken against the farm plan
proposed by the secretary of
agriculture. President Allan B.
Kline of the federation termed
it "a political scheme to get the
votes of both farmers and con
sumers."
Brannan did not speak at the
federation's annual meeting. The
principal speaker, a role usually
reserved for the government's
incumbent ogriculture chief, was
Sen. Clinton P. Anderson (R.,
N. M.), former secretary of ag
riculture. Anderson told federation del
egates yesterday that farmers
should "speak for themselves"
first of all "by exercising their
civic responsibility to take an
active part in public affairs" . .
and through their own farm organizations."
London Newspaper Says
Britain Has A-Bomb
By .HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE
(Associated Pre&s Science Edltori
New York, Dec. 16 W) The report of the London Daily Mirror
that Britain has the A-bomb affirms a belief scientists have held.
This belief was: first, that the British knew how to make them;
second, that Britain would probably be the first foreign nation to
make A-bombs. The London Mirror story does not say how long
Britain has had A-bombs but
indicates the first might have
been made two years ago.
To scientists, it was incredible
that there could be any secrets
of A-bomb structure from the
British. Sir John Crockroft, who
came to the United States to
work on the American bomb
project, was the discoverer of
the particle that splits the bomb
atoms.
Before him, Lord Rutherford
gave the scientist world its first
proof of what goes on inside of
atoms that are emitting atomic
energy.
When World War Two broke
out, Columbia University's head
of physics, Dr. George B. Peg
ram went to England to confer
with the British about the pos
sibility of Germany making an
A-bomb.
What he and other American
scientists learned then from Brit
ish scientists was shortly after
ward part of the evidence that
stirred President Roosevelt to
authorize the American A-bomb
project.
At Bikini, before the present
McMahon law prohibited ex
change of information, a Brit
ish scientist was one of the
members of the scientific staff.
His identity was so secret that
when he talked to reporters in
a conference on the press ship
Appalachian, the newspaper
men were requested to omit his
identity.
Hershey Asks Keep
Draft As 'Insurance'
Washington, Dec. 16 (U.R) Maj.
Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, director
of selective service believes an
extension of the draft act would
be insurance against aggression.
Speaking at an Elk club lunch
eon Wednesday, Hershey said
"intelligent people don't let their
insurance lapse just because
they haven't needed it."
The selective service act ex
pires June 24, and speculation
here has been that the armed
forces will have a hard time
getting it extended.
