Detectives Work Dailv For Solution to Girls Murder
The New York police force
numbers almost 26,000 men. In
the past three months, a size
able portion of that force has
been working on one case. It
is the biggest man or wom
anhunt in the city's history.
By EDWARD V. MCCARTHY
United Press International
NEW YORK (UPI) - Shortly
before 7 D.m.. AuB. 28. a po
lice sergeant plugged In on a
flashing light on the switch
board at the East 104th Street
police station and listened brief
ly to a breathless man.
Then the sergeant swiftly
plugged himself in on a special
extension leading directly to
the dome - topped five - story
building which houses police
headquarters in downtown Man
hattan.
On the uppermost floor, in a
quiet yet extremely busy room,
a red light began winking on
one of two switchboards the
"emergency board.
One of the five patrolman
handling the "hot runs" picked
uu me bou aim i ajiui j
down the information relayed
by the sergeant on a "com'
plaint report" and stuffed it in
to a little tube.
He rammed the tube into a
pneumatic system which sent
it on its way some 35 feet to
where four more patrolmen sat
in front of radio consoles unit
ing them to 522 radio patrol
cars, detective cruisers and
emergency squad units.
Trouble Call
One of the radio operators
picked up the tube, opened the
message and at 6:55 p.m.
the airwaves crackled with one
of 1,144 calls sent that day in
Manhattan alone.
The message was a simple
one:
"In the 23rd Precinct, car 593
respond to 57 East 88th Street.
Apartment 3C, report of a sig
nal ten-thirty."
A signal 10-30 to New York
policemen can mean several
.L!.nn -.11 nf tU KorT T
LUlllga ail vi iiiciu uau.
can mean a holdup in progress.
It can mean someone has been
shot or stabbed. It means some
kind of felony has been or ie be
ing committed. A 6ignal 10-30
means trouble.
, When the two patrolmen in
radio car No. 593 arrived at
57 East 88th Street, they found
big trouble.
The police officers were met
by a white-faced, shaken man
who identified himself as Max
Wylie, a well-to-do television ac
count executive with a Madi
son Avenue advertising agency.
He led the patrolmen into the
rear bedroom and pointed. On
the floor, their wrists and an
kles tied with strips cut from
a bedsheet, were Wylie's daugh
ter. Janice, 21, and Emily Hof
fert, 23.
Stabbed and Bludgeoned
: Janice, a copy-girl at News
week Magazine and niece of
author Philip Wylie, was nude.
She had been stabbed and blud
geoned. Emily wore a shirt and
blouse. She, too, had been blud
geoned and stabbed repeatedly.
In the apartment, the detec
tives quickly ascertained cer
tain basic facts.
The two slain girls had lived
in the apartment with a third
voung lady. Patricia Tolles, 23,
sharing the $250-a-month rent for
the five-room apartment on tne
fashionable mid-town East Side
near the Guggenheim Museum.
On the day of the killing, Miss
Tolles, daughter of the dean of
Hamilton College, arose at 7
a.m. in the bedroom she shared
with Janice. Miss Tolles, who
works for Time Magazine
awakened Emily and both
dressed. Janice continued to
sleep.
Patricia Tolles left for work
about 8:30 a.m., she told detec
tives, and didn't return until
shortly before 7 p.m.
More than 100 detectives were
sent out in groups of two and
three to "wear out some shoe
leather and talk to people."
The picture they got wasn't
a complete one, but it was a
picture of sorts,
more more more more more
Based on the detective teams'
reports, it was determined that
about an hour after Patricia
left, Emily went downstairs and
climbed into a borrowed sedan
and drove to the exclusive Riv
erdale section uptown to pick
up her own car, a Fiat, which
she had left at a friend's homo.
She started back for the East
88th Street apartment at about
11 a.m. The trip back takes on
ly about a half hour. This
meant she got back to the apart
ment some time between 11:30
a.m. and noon. '
Clock Radio Stopped
One of the pieces to the jig
saw puzzle had been supplied
by chief medical examiner Mil
ton Helpern. He told chief of
detectives Lawrence J. Mc
Kearney and assistant chief in
spector Joseph L. Coyle that
Janice was already dead by
11:30 a.m.
This fitted in with another
piece turned up by detectives
prowling the apartment. A small
clock radio next to Janice's
bed was stopped at 10:35 a.m.
Its plug had been pulled out of
the electric outlet when Janice
was struck down and her body
fell across the wire.
Janice had been viciously at
tacked. The killer used a soda
pop bottle to smash at her head.
The bottle was broken. Pieces of
the bottle were embedded in
one of her hands when she tried
to ward off the blows.
The killer had stabbed her
many times, using three knives
taken from the kitchen of the
apartment.
The killer obviously was still
in the apartment when Emily
walked in.
The murderer and Emily must

MURDER VICTIMS On the morning of August 28, 1963, these
two young career girls, Janice Wylie, 21, and Emily Hoffert (R),
23, were brutally murdered in their apartment. The killing put

work looking for the still unknown slayer. (UPI)

soon after she entered the that she was forced to walk
apartment, police theorized. through the apartment and view
the mutilated body of her
roommate.
The killer, his or her identity
now known to Emily, had to
strike again.
The killer cut up a bedsheet
and tied the wrists and ankles
of the dead girls, leaving them
lying together, side-by-side.
KUIer Vanishes
Sometime between noon and
6:40 p.m., when Patricia return
ed home, found the bodies and
summoned Wylie from his near
by apartment, the killer strolled
out of the building and vanish
ed among New York's millions.
The picture puzzle still had
many holes. If the killer was a
man, he must have been cov
ered with blood. How did he
get out of the building and past
the doorman in that state?
It could have been a woman.
A woman could have put on
some of the girls' clothing and
carried her own bloodstained
garments out in 8 paper bag.
MnKearnev and Coyle decid
ed they could rule out neither
sex in the hunt for the killer,
n HMn't make sense for a worn'
an to have killed the two girls.
The killer had struck with such
fury that two of the knives had
hrnken in half. This would in
dicate that the killer had to be
a man. But that left unan
swered the other question how
did he get away in broad aay-light?
The teams still go out every
day. They ask questions. They
wear out shoe leather. They
makes notes. They report back
to McKearnev and Coyle. Then
the little pieces are tried for
size.
One day, all the pieces may
fit.

Johnson's Knowledge of Government Eases Elevation To President

so naturally it's better
Editor's Note: This Is the
final dispatch on the career of
President Lyndon Johnson.
By HARRY FERGUSON
WASHINGTON (UPI) - There
was a time when the top secrets
of the government never were
revealed to the vice presidnt
of the United States. Harry S.
Truman had no inkling about
the attempt to build an atomic
bomb until the day Franklin D.
Roosevelt died and the man
from Missouri was sworn in as
President.
Things were different when
Lyndon B. Johnson took the oath
of office last week. Nobody had
to brief the new President be
cause he had been living at the
very heart of governmental sec
recy for three years. As Vice
President he attended almost
every meeting of the National
Security Council. He not only
knew the secrets; his voice and
his opinions had helped shape
mem mio policy.
Johnson took command of the
federal government immediate
ly. He did not have to fumble
and search for guidance and in
formation. He began calling his
key men into conferences, issu
ing orders and proclaiming pol
icy, such as announcing that the
Kennedy program in South Viet
Nam would remain unchanged.
His intimate knowledge of the
mechanics of government is one
of the two sets of circumstances
that should make Johnson's life
easier as President. The other
one is the great surge of sym
pathy in Congress caused by the
dy. At the moment the new
President is in the middle of a
sort of honeymoon with con
gressmen who have been fight
ing such key Kennedy bills as
tax reduction and civil rights.
It won't last long and, in fact,
Senate Republican Leader Ever
ett M. Dirksen already has put
Johnson on notice to that effect.
Must Go Forward
"The work of the nation has
to go forward. Once the shock
of the tragedy has been ab
sorbed, a country, like a family,
is quickly faced with the reality
of daily problems."
Johnson's problem with Con
gress is to devise some means
to strike quickly and decisively
in behalf of the Kennedy legis
lative program. It is almost an
impossible task. Sen. Harry
Byrd the conservative Democrat
from Virginia, is all-powerful on
tax matters. Doubtless he
mourns Kennedy as deeply and
sincerely as any man, but that
is unlikely to budge him from
the position that there cannot be
a tax cut without reduction in
federal expenditures. The voice
of Sen. Strom Thurmond of
South Carolina is muted at the
moment, but he will recover
his powers of speech instantly
when and if the time comes to
lead a filibuster against the
civil rights bill.
All of Johnson's formidable
powers of compromise and con
ciliation will be tested in the
coming months. He knows all
these men personally. He re
spects them and they respect
him, but many senators and
congressmen have life-time al
legiances that run much deeper
than their personal liking for
Lyndon Johnson.
Johnson almost but not quite
fits the classic pattern of the
presidency. He was born, not
in a log cabin, but a small
frame house near Johnson City,
Tex., on Aug. 27, 1908. But his
parents were poor. His father
was a school teacher and there
was no money to send Lyndon
to college when he was gradu
ated from high school in 1924.
He worked in a road gang for
$1 a day, then traveled to Cali
fornia picking up any job he
could on the way.
Wanted Education
Three years of this convinced
him he wanted an education and
he returned to Texas and en
rolled in Southwest State Teach
ers' College. It was a hard life.
He tried to earn his way by
selling books door to door and
working as a janitor.
There wasn't enough money
coming in; in 1928 he dropped
out of college and took a job
teaching school. But he accumu
lated enough money to go back
to teachers' college and was
graduated in 1930. For two
years he taught school in Hous
ton and then was offered a job
as secretary to Rep. Richard
Klebert, D-Tex. From that mom-1
ent politics was in his blood
and in 1937 he won his own way
into Congress by winning the
seat in the 10th Congressional
District of Texas.
On Nov. 17, 1934, Johnson mar
ried a pretty Texas heiress
named Claudia Taylor. They
have two daughters, one attend
ing the University of Texas and
the other a private school here
in Washington.
When Mrs. Johnson was a
baby, a nurse remarked "why,
she's pretty as a lady bird" and
at that moment the name Claud
ia ceased to exist except when
Mrs. Johnson signs legal docu
ments. A few weeks ago Mrs.
Johnson was interviewed on a
local television station and was
asked how she would change
her husband if she had the pow
er to do so. She thought about
that one a long time and then
said:
"Well, I would make him tell
me every afternoon whether he
was coming home for dinner
and, if so, what time."

Working on Projects
AGANA, Guam (UPD-The
U.S. territorial government of
Guam is working on two proj
ects here to offset some of the
damage caused by two disas
trous typhoons during the past
year.
Plans are under way for con

to replace the wind-battered
quonset hut now in use. The
other project envisions building
of low-cost housing on government-owned
land to provide new

World Food Output
In 1963-64 Seen
To Be About Same
WASHINGTON (UPI) The
Agriculture Department pre
dicts the world food output in
1963-64 will be about the same
as in 1962-63.
The department's Economic
Research Service (ERS) said
generally increased output in
many parts of the world and a
record wheat crop In Canada of
more than 700 million busneis
largely offset the smaller grain
crops of Eastern Europe and
reduced output In some other
regions. The ERS analysts indi
cated production declines in cer
tain crops will be made up in
many regions by increases in
other crops.
There were highly unfavorable
weather conditions for .1963
grain production in much of
Europe. ERS said Western Eu
rope's adverse weather reduced
yields from last year's record
high and Injured the quality of
wheat and feed grains. Wheat
imports, therefore, will be sub
stantial, ERS said.
The imports of feed grains by
Western Europe will be influ
enced by the increased availa
bilities of home-grown feed
grade wheat, and the extent to
which the feeding value of grain
was reduced.
ERS said the domestic food
supply in the Soviet Union in
1963-64 will be less than the pro
ceding year. This will require
considerable imports of grain
instead of normal exports. Can
ada already has sold a consid
erable amount of wheat to the
Soviet Union, and it is antici
pated that the United States
also will sell a large volume to
the Soviet bloc.
ERS said that the domestic
food situation in many oilier
Eastern European countries will
be spotty.
The extremely severe hurri
cane season in the Caribbean
area hurt growing suwr cane
and other agricultural crops--,
particularly those for local use,
ERS said. Some drought condi
tions continued this year in oth
er Western Hemisphere coun
tries, as well as the United
States.
But in a number of temper
ate zone areas of Latin Ameri
ca, including Mexico, Argentina,
and Uruguay, growing condi
tions were improved and the
level of 1963-64 production Is ex
pected to be somewhat above
that of the previous year. Ex
panded production generally is
expected this year in Central
America and Venezuela.
To Require Imports
ERS said over-all 1963-64 food
production in Western Asia
should about equal that of 1962
63, since an expected rise of
grain production in Turkey of
10-20 per cent above 1962-63
would offset reduced production
in some other areas, such as
Jordan where severe di ought
prevailed.
Production appears to bo on
Increase in most of Adieu, ERS
it
said. Increased commercial
wheat Imports and increased
corn exports are expected by
the Republic of South Africa.
ERS said food production in
the Far East, Australia and
New Zealand shows little over
all change in 1963 compared
with 1962. Unfavorable yields
from early summer crops in
Japan and Korea were followed
by unusually good tall Harvests
of rice and other crops, lor
Taiwan, The Philippines,1 Ma
laya, Mainland China, and In
dia, no major changes from last
year are reported, according to
ERS.
The agency said wheat im
ports by Red China in 1963 al
ready have exceeded those of
1961 or 1UK2, ana tnnt us crop
prospects appear no hotter than
year ago.

United Press International
WASHINGTON (UPI) -President
Johnson's elevation to the
leadership of the nation is ex
pected to help some hard
pressed 1964 Senate Democratic
candidates especially in his na
tive West.
For Johnson, born and bred
in Texas and seasoned in Wash
ington, "talks the language" of
the rangeland. He has criss
crossed the area in past cam
paigns for present incumbents
and others. And this region con
tains the Democratic Senate
seats which have been regard
ed as most in jeopardy.
Twenty-four Democrats and
nine Republicans are up for re
election next year. Unlike most
tests for the Democrats, only
three of the seats are in the
so-called "Solid South."
Democrats have been most
worried about the West Utah,
Wyoming, California and North
Dakota. Even Texas, with one
Republican senator, has been
shaky Democratic ground.
Two In Danger
Two Western Democrats who
have been viewed as in danger
from the GOP drive to nar
row the 67-33 Democratic mar
gin in the Senate are Sens. Gale
McGee of Wyoming and Frank
E. Moss of Utah.
McGee said that even
though GOP strength had been
over-estimated and President
Kennedy had "surprising" su-
port in Wyoming, resident
Johnson can only increase what
we have."
"Lyndon Johnson is a West
erner," he said in an interview.
"He talks our language cattle
and oil. Wyoming has always
been ready to identify Itself
with Johnson."
Kennedy Preferred
Throughout tile West, Demo
crats contend, Johnson would
draw votes from the segments
of population attracted to Sen.
Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., the
GOP presidential front-runner.
McGee said that a "secret"
GOP poll on Wyoming political
tides, conducted for the Sept.
3-11 period, showed Kennedy
preferred over Goldwater by a
3 to 2 margin.
He said Democrats "stum
bled" on the Republican poll,
which he claimed also showed
him favored 8 to 7 over any
of six Republican senatorial
prospects.
The poll findings, he said, ran
contrary to press speculation
that Wyoming was almost a
push-over for the Republicans.
California's Sen. Clair Engle,
D-Calif., has been recuperating
from brain surgery and is a
question mark for reelection.
Other Western Democrats fac
ing reelection contests include
Sens. Quentin R. Burdick, N.D.,
Howard W. Cannon, Nev., Sen
ate Democratic Leader Mike
Mansfield, Mont., Henry M.
Jackson, Wash, and Ralph Yar
borough, Tex.
