In the past three months, a size able portion of that force has been working on one case. H is the biggest man or wom an hunt in the city's history. By EDWARD V. MCCARTHY NEW YORK (UPI - Shortly before 7 p.m., Aug. 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 (lie 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 patrolmen handling the "hot runs" picked up the call and rapidly wrote down the information relayed by (lie 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 confolcs link ' 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 tilings all of them bad. It can mean a holdup in progress. It can mean someone has been shot or stabbed.

Oregon i r 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 skirt 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 young lady, Patricia Tollcs, 23, sharing the S250-a-month rent for the five-room apartment on the fashionable mid-town East Side near the Guggenheim Museum. On the day of the killing, Miss Tollcs, daughter of the dean of Hamilton College, arose at . 7 a.m. in the bedroom she shared with Janice. Miss Tollcs, 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. Based on tlie 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 Itiv erdale section uptown to pick up her own car, a Fiat, which she had left at a friend's home. She started back for the East point 1000 miles out over tht North Atlantic. There, some 35.W0 feet above tlie frigid waters.

Sunday, December I, 1963 88th Street apartment at about 11 a.m. the trip back takes only about a half hour. This meant she got back to the apartment some time between 11:30 a.m. and noon. One of the pieces to the Jig saw puzzle had been supplied by chief medical examiner Mil ton Hclpern. 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. Clock Radio Stopped 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 m the apartment when Emily walked in. The murderer and Emily must have confronted each other soon after she entered the apartment, police theorized. Indications were, they said, that she was forced to walk 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. Killer 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 nun. he must have been cov ered with blood. How did he get out of the building and past tile 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 a paper bag. McKearocy and Coyle decid ed they could rule out neither sex in the hunt for tlie killer. It didn't make sense for a wom an to have killed the two girls. The killer had struck with such fury that two of the knives had broken in half. This would in dicate that tlie killer had to be a man. But that left unan swered the other question how did he get away in broad day light? The teams still go out every day. They ask questions. They wear out shoe leather. They makes notes. They report back to JIcKearney and Coyle. Then tlie little pieces are tried for size. Since HVxl, an aerial hook-up between a bomber and a tank er has been completed on an average of one every IS min utes, day in and day out. Flying at 450 miles an hour, "SleiglibeH 22" and tl slightly larger B-53 will close on each oilier until tlie nose of tlie bomber is almost touching the tail of tlie tanker. The pilots must match tlieir airspeed ex actly. "We'll only be about 47 feet apart, and that Isn't much when you'ie going over 430 miles an hour," says Capt. Ma gee, veteran of 10 years of tanker flying. Airman 1-C Raymond E. Car tha;e. of San Gabriel. Cal.. boom operator, performs his duties while lying flat on his Card Total Will Hit 3.25 Billion NEW YORK (CPU - Stamp, stamp, stamp, the cards are marching some 3.25 billion of them through the mails this Christmas. So reports The Greeting Card Association, which adds that more than 50,000 designs have been created for the 1963 sea son. The association, represent ing the bulk of the manufactur ers, made no estimate on how much will be spent on Yuletide greetings. But the president of one firm which said it alone will sell about 300 million cards estimat ed the total retail value of this bumper crop of Merry Christ- mases at $616 million. The firm, American Greetings Corp.. Cleveland. Ohio, figured further tliat each family on the aver age will purchase 60 cards this year and receive about the same number. One of the factors in that SS16 million estimate of sales is the trend to purchase of costlier greetings. American Greetings mentioned cards retailing at 50 cents and $1.00. These come in tapestry designs, with cutout sections, with gold leaf borders, and special attachments which could be anything from wisps of cotton or Santa's beard to plas tic cornucopias, said American Greetings' president, Irving I. Stone. Both the Greeting Card Asso ciation and American Greetings agreed that designers are put ting religion back into Christ mas greetings. Field said that in 1950. reli gious cards accounted for less than five per cent of Christmas sales. Today, the figure is about 20 per cent. Disappearing from the scene are tlie "sick" sentiments of studio cards. In their place are more conventional cards with conventional sentiments. The basic Christmas symbols holly, poinscttia and Santa are still by far the most popu lar. One of the best-known collec tions cards those painted for the (American Artists Group, Inc., New York this year re tell the birth of Christ, of scenes harking back to the artists' childhood in the country, and of man's yearnings for peace. Special cards for special peo ple cover a tremendous range for '63 said the association. There are cards for assorted relatives, for the neighbors, doc tors, nurses, the milkman, the paper boy, the boss and the minister or priest. And a final note from the postal authorities. Mail the cards early. Those going to dis tant places should be mailed by Dec. 10; those for local or near by points should be sent at least one week before Christ mas. Food Plays Future Role UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. (UPIt The food you eat today could make a difference in how you look and feel in tlie future, according to Louise W. Hamilton extension nutrition specialist at Perm State University. Your appetite can't tell you what to eat, Miss Hamilton said. Scien tists are constantly finding out more about the kinds and amounts of nutrients the body needs, types of foods that contain these nutrients and how these nu trients work together in the body. Ways you can add life include developing hobbies, practicing good health habits and eating the kinds of foods each day that scien tists say you need. The four food groups made up of milk, meat, fruits and veget ables and breads and cereals can help you look and feel your best every day.

WASHINGTON t.NE.M - Pri. vate and government pressure is at work to control arms traf fic in the United States, a na tion where a pistol can often be bought with the ease of a tube of toothpaste. The death of President Kenne. dy by mail order rifle bullet and the murder in turn of his accused assassin by a n i g h t club operator's pistol have am plified the call for congression al passage of federal small arms control legislation. The private sector of t h e country, too, seems determined to make it tougher for citizens to simply walk into a store and pick up a family-sized arsenal. Sears Roebuck & Co. leads the list of mail order houses which are pulling gun ads from their catalogues. Sen. Thomas Dodd, D-Conn., has a bill to tighten existing firearms laws languishing in the Senate Commerce Commit tee for almost four months. He has now received assurances from more than a dozen sena tors, including Majority Lead er Mike Mansfield. D-Mont., that every effort will be made to enact tlie bill "as quickly as possible." According to J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, "the easy ac cessibility of firearms" has contributed significantly to the nation's crime problem. Last year there were 3.920 murders by firearms in the United States. Home Design Offers Many Extras Today's design gives you many extras.

If you haven't let the job go too long this should be in good condition. But if the cover was worn, chinces are the padding is worn as well. A layer of cotton felt will correct this. Next you're ready lo begin cutting the new covers. Use the old cover as a pattern. Place it on the wrong side of the new material and trace with a cray on. If there's a pattern in the new material, make certain it is straight. Once you've traced tlie pattern, cut the cover with scissors. Place the seat on the WTong side of the new cover, center ing it on the fabric. Make cer tain the padded side of the seat is down. Tacked Down Tack down one side of the material with a single tack in the center of that edge. Then draw the material tight and place a tack in the center of the opposite edge. Then draw up tlie other two sides and tack the same way. Complete the tacking of each side, but leave tlie corners free. Tack to within 2 or 3 inches of the corner. Be sure to continue to draw the material tight as you tack. Use upholsterer's tacks. Although you don't need a lack hammer, you'll find this type easier to use for the job than the conventional type. Tough Corners The corners are the toughest part of the job. The excess ma terial must be folded neatly so that the fabric doesn't pucker. Make certain tlie corners are flat and not bunched. The old scat cover may provide a clue on folding. With the scat covered as tightly and nearly as you can make it, you are ready to re assemble the chair. Place tlie seat in the frame and put the screws back in. K the screws seem to vary in length, and you didn't keep them separated, make sure that none of them is so long that it might poke through the cover.

Dodd prophetically put b i s finger on the problem when he introduced his bill. "To perpe tuate the present loopholes in the Federal Firearms Act is to doom individuals to a senseless death from a gun wielded by fingers responding to the whims and impulses of a disordered mind."

Since weapons cannot be shipped through the mails, ex press agencies are used for le gal delivery. The Senate Inves tigating subcommittee heard testimony on how one Los An geles dealer would truck a filled gun order to Phoenix, Ariz., where he wrapped it and sent it back to California purchas ers via Railway Express. The dealer license to trade in guns, required under the Fed eral Firearms Act, costs only (1. Some mail order firms have stepped up business by urging buyers to become dealers and "go into business." It has been estimated that of the 60.000 dealer licenses issued a year, 45,000 are not to bona fide dealers. The traffic in guns today has become so overwhelming and uncontrolled that some dealers "could sell you a war," as Dodd puts it. One mail order firm estimated that sales of one type gun, the Webley revolver - ar small, easily concealed weap onare m the millions annually. Dodd's bill, which he admits, "is not tlie entire solution to our firearms problem," would: Prevent the shipment in in terstate commerce and delivery by common carrier of mail or der handguns to juveniles. Increase the Federal Fire arms Act dealer's license fee from $1 to $10. Require that an applicant for such a license be 21 years or over (there is presently no age limitation). Provide for the marking of packages containing guns being shipped in interstate commerce to include number and type of weapon. Provide that a mail order purchaser enclose a sworn affi davit with his order to establish his true age, address and crim inal record. With the enactment of t h e bill, express company employes would know when packages con tain guns and could make sure that the persons receiving them were 18 years or older. Colt, Remington and Winches ter gun manufacturers with main offices in Dodd's native state, Connecticut have sup ported his bill after suggesting only technical changes. And the National Rifle Association, which represents over a half million shooter-sportsmen, agrees that "steps must be taken to curtail the traffic of mail order guns into unauthorized hands." Only seven states Hawaii, Missouri, Massachusetts, Michi gan, New Jersey, New York and North Carolina now re quire a permit to purchase a gun.
