MEN FRIENDS OF WIFE DROVE RAF. New York, Oct. SO. UPJ Jealousy and hate were part of the motive which drove Wayne Lonergan to murder his estrang ed wife, friends disclosed today while divers searched the murky East river for tho uniform the confessed slayer wore when he beat Patricia Lonergan with candlesticks and choked her with his bare hands. Lonergan said he cut the blue RCAF uniform to shreds, stuff ed it in a duffel bag and threw it in the river after ha left his murdered wife. Lonergan, meantime, was re ported to be acting "Just like any other prisoner" at the eell where he has been since he was charged with the first degree murder of the pretty brewery heiress. Mario Giibelline, an interior decorator known among his friends for his skill at salad- making, who escorted Mrs. Lon- ergan on a round of night spots on the eve of her murder, con tinued to deny that he was any thing but "a good friend" of Mrs. Lonergan. Cabelline is free on bail as a material wit ness. Friends of the couple, how ever, including Dick Jorio, re staurant proprietor who ar ranged Gabelline's $5,000 bail, said the couple were "deeply in love." They gave what amount ed to an "engagement" party, he said, and told friends they planned to be married. Lonergan in his confession ad mitted that his quarrel with his wife as she lay in bed in her ex pensive Beekman Hill apartment Sunday morning, began over mutual accusations of infidelity. DEWEYS PRESTIGE NEW DEAL POWER LISTED TUESDAY New York, Oct. SO (UJO New deal-Democratic strength will be tested significantly Tues day in scattering of elections, notably in such key areas as New York. New Jersey, Mich igan and Kentucky. These off-year pro-president inl pollings will be the last real lest of voting sentiment before 1944 when the presidential blue chips are down. Politicians will observe results closely for a hunt of the destinies of men and parties. The prestige of Republican Gov. Thomas E. Dewey is riding on New York's special election to fill the vacancy caused by the death ot Republican Lieut. Gov. Thomas W, Wallace. State Senator Joe R. llatiley is the Republican candidate for lieu tenant governor, backed equally by Dewey and Wendell Willkie. Dewey is tops in national pub lic opinion polls on tho matter of next year's G. O. P. nominee and a whopping victory for Hanley would boost his prestige more than a little. Some of those who want him to run believe they will have an op portunity to start a draft-Dewcy in next year's Republican na tional convention if the dele gules fail after four or five ballots to nominate a leader. Both the Roosevelt and Jumes A. Farley wings of New York's Democratic party and the left wing groups are agreed upon Hanlev's opponent. General Wil liam N. Huskell.

Oct. 30 (UFO The Justice department Is inves tigating reports that four air craft firms raised a $65,000 fund to help push an amendment to the 1940 revenue act. Chairman Carl Vinson, D., Ga., of the House naval affairs committee announced today. Vinson made the announce ment during a conference with Assistant Attorney General Tom Clark, in charge of the Justice department's criminal division. Creation of the fund was re vealed in testimony .before a naval affairs subcommittee in vestigating the failure of Brew ster Aeronautical corp. to meet its contracts for navy fighter planes. A Brewster official testified that Brewster, Curtiss-Wright Vultee and Consolidated Air craft companies set up the fund for the purpose of obtaining enactment of legislation that would exempt certain portions of their "working capital" from the excess profits tax. The pro vision was adopted as an amend ment to the 1940 law. A Securities and Exchange commission report before the committee said $30,000 of the fund was paid to Frank Com fort, then Democratic national Committeeman for Iowa, and that a Washington attorney, W. D. Jamieson, who previously had been an Iowa congressman and an assistant secretary of the Democratic national committee, received $10,000. A similar share went to a New York law firm with important political connections, the SEC reported.
