Charles A. Lemp, former first vice president and treasurer of the William J. Lemp Brewing shot and killed himself early today in the 87-year-old Lemp family mansion, 3322 South Thirteenth street. He was 77 years old, and had suffered from nervousness in recent weeks. The bedroom in which his body was found, shortly after 8 o'clock this morning, adjoins the library room in which, in 1922, his older brother, William J.

Lemp president of the brewing firm, shot and killed himself. Both brothers were born in the house. Their father, William J. Lemp head of the brewing company in the years when it was the second brewery in size in St. Louis, shot and killed himself, also in the home, in 1904.

A sister of Charles and William J. Lemp Mrs. Elsa Lemp Wright, shot and killed herself in March 1920 at her home in Hortense place. It was related at that time when W. J.

Lena Bittner, the cook, placed the breakfast tray as usual, and later saw that it had not been touched. She called her husband, Albert Bittner, who entered the bedroom and found the body. A bullet wound was in the right temple, and a revolver was near the right hand. The body was clad only in a shirt. A note found in the room, dated last evening, read: "In case I am found dead, blame it on no one but me.

The Lemp Brewery was founded in 1840 by Adam Lemp. Under the elder William J. Lemp it became one of the chief industrial concerns of St. Louis, and its plant at South Broadway and Cherokee street, covered 10 city blocks. When the national prohibition amendment and Volstead law went into effect in 1920, the Lemp Co.

did not attempt to keep its organization, as some other brewing concerns did. It sold the Falstaff trademark, and sold much of its realty, taking a heavy loss. The plant site, which has been valued at 57,000,000, brought less than $600,000.

Wa Tomorr rmer ow THE TEMPERATURES Motive Sought in Of Schoolgirl Questioning of Teen-age Friends Yields No Clues Victim Not Criminally Attacked. ROANOKE, May 10 (UP) Absence of a logical motive today hampered the search for the killer of Dana Marie Weaver, 16-year-old high school senior who was found beaten and strangled in a church parish house here yes terday. None of the clues seems to add up, police said.

Questioning of at least six teen-aged friends ojT the dead girl produced little informa tion. Police Superintendent S. A. Bruce said he was inclined to be lieve that the girl was surprised by an intruder when she entered Christ Church Sunday night, looking for a meeting of the Youth Service League. There have been several burglar ies of the Episcopal church in recent months, Bfuce said.

Nothing was reported missing this time. however. The violence of the attack and other circumstances surrounding the girl's death did not seem to support this theory, however, officers said. The body was found early yesterday by Alex Roland, the church's janitor. Her bruised, beaten body lay In the parish house kitchen on the second floor, wedged against the lower half of a Dutch door.

Coroner Charles M. Irvin said she had beyi kicked brutally in the face and legs, apparently after she had fallen to the floor. Her fingernails were torn. Her throat and body were blotched with ugly bruises. She was fully dressed in a neat gray suit which relatives said was "one of her best," and Irvin said after an inquest that she had not been criminally attacked.

The scene indiated a terrific struggle. A trail of broken glass led into an adjoining dining room. Broken dishes were strewn over the kitchen floor. Three chairs were turned over. Soft drink bottles were scattered about, and police thought the killer may have used one of them to beat the girl to death.

The girl's wrist watch was smashed, the hands at nine o'clock, within an hour of the time the coroner thought shfe died. A number of cigarette butts were scattered about, indicating that the killer either chain-smoked while arguing with the girl or to calm his nerves after he killed her. Investigators did not rule out a sex motive. Superintendent Bruce said there had been "quite a few" reports of attempts to molest women in the area near the church recently.

v3t DANA MARIE 10 RESUME 2-WAV BERLINJRAFFIC Western Officials Join Russians in GivingOr-1 ders Start Travel Again Thursday. By THOMAS A. REEDY BERLIN, May 10 (AP) At one minute past midnight Thursday flag-bedecked traffic will end the epic of blockaded Berlin. (That's 5:01 p.m., Wednesday, St. Louis time.) So far there hasn't been a hitch in final arrangements.

Gen. V. I. Chuikov, Soviet commander in Germany, and the Western powers both have ordered that transport, trade and communication services between their zones resume at that time. (The United Press said western Berlin enjoyed unrationed electricity for a time today during a test of cables which bring in cur- rent from generating, plants deep in the Russian zone.

It was the first time the western sectors had received unrationed electricity in mid-morning since power rationing was imposed on July 9 as one phase of the blockade.) Mail Service Again. Under Russian and Western plans announced yesterday, things will revert back to the way they were before the blockade began. Sixteen freight trains will move into the city daily. Highways will be open. Mail service will be resumed.

The Russians say they won't demand travel permits and that they won't try to search Allied baggage. The first 10 trainloads of coal and six others of fresh potatoes and consumer goods are scheduled to move into the city, which has been supplied by the air lift for 10 months. Twelve thousand tons of supplies are to go into the city daily just about the same figure the air lift reached on its best day. British Plan First Train. Transport men said the first engineers "will take it easy" over lines idle so long.

The British plan to have the first train into Berlin. Correspondents will be among Its passengers. The four-lane superhighway to Berlin from the western zones will be opened at the same time as the rail line. Western Berlin's Mayor Ernest Reuter ordered the black, red and gold flag of the new west German republic be flown on street cars and busses. In addition to the trains getting ready to enter Berlin, barge owners in Hamburg announced that boats capable of carrying 60,000 tons of were standing by to resume shipments to Berlin on the Elbe-Havel river.

Barges also were waiting in Hamburg for resumption of traffic with Czechoslovakia as soon as the blockade ends. 4 GOAL Council. Points to Unset tled Business Condi-tions'- Recommends No Public Works Projects at This Time. WASHINGTON. May 10 (AP) Democrats and Republicans alike in Congress threw support today behind a reported recommenda tion by President Truman's Coun cil of Economic Advisers for a cut in government spending.

The council was caid in hava held that because of unsettled business conditions it would be safer to vote any sharp tax increase. nesponsiDie officials said the economists went even further to suggest the possibility of cutting excise taxes and of delaying for six months a Social Security payroll tax increase KcriprJnlorl July 1. Each of these proposals got considerable backing among the Congressmen. Decision Up to Truman. The final decision on whiri wax to turn rests with Truman.

Thus far he has refused to back down on his repeated demands for four billion dollars in new taxes. ine economic advisers were said to have urged the President to accept a "lesser goal." Some officials hold that a large tax increase now might eat up private, capital needed for industrial expansion, or cause business to retrench so severely that the "healthy disinflation" might skid into a serious recession. The council did not recommend at this time the launching of an expanded public works program, an authoritative source disclosed. The advisers have consistently urged that federal and local- governments prepare 'sTielves" of public work blueprints for use when needed to bolster employment and public purchasing power.

EARNS A Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. CEDAR RAPIDS, May 10 Three photographs of the body of Byran C.

Hattman, St. Louis' aircraft engineer, were ruled out as evidence today in the murder trial of Dr. Robert C. Rutledge St. Louis pediatrician, who fought Hattman in a hotel room here over Hattman's attentions to the doctor's blonde wife.

The defense succeeded in barring the photographs on the ground that they were distorted by magnification. Thirteen other photographs of the knife-scarred hotel room where the fight occurred were admitted as evidence by District Judge J. E. Heiserman. Picture Enlarged.

Objection to the photographs came after Defense Attorney R. S. Milner closely cross examined In-dentification Officer Charles Shep-ard of the Cedar Rapids Police Department, who took the pictures, and obtained from him testimony that a picture of a hole in the wall of Room 729 in the Roosevelt Hotel, where the body was found last Dec. 15, had been enlarged, or magnified. In another picture, showing the bloody body of Hattman on the floor of the room, part of the wall was showing.

This picture also showed the hole in the wall in proportion to other things in the room. The hole was seen to be no more than two inches in diameter. Shepard, who has been ill and left his bed to testify, said he took fingerprints in the room after Hattman's body was found in a pool of blood in the room last Dec. 15. He found prints, he said, on Hattman's billfold, on the doorways and on two magazines.

He added that they had not yet been identified, however. When the courthouse opened this morning there were hundreds of Cedar Rapids residents waiting to enter the building, apparently eager to hear some of the sensational statements, made yesterday by defense and prosecution attorneys, repeated today by witnesses. By 9 a.m. the courtroom was filled to capacity and several hundred waited behind a rope stretched across the corridors to keep the overflow out. Dr.

Rutledge's wife, Mrs. Sydney Goodrich Rutledge, appeared as the trial started at 9:20 a.m. She looked fresh in a 'white blouse and a long black bolero skirt. She glanced about the courtroom as she took her seat beside her hus band at the counsel table. In testifying yesterday Shepard described the hotel room where Hattman's body was found.

He said plaster was knocked off the wall and doors and woodwork were gouged and had long scratches, apparently made with Continued on Page 3, Column 2. PHI BtTA KAPPA KEY WON BY WRITER OF SONG HIT OF 1929 NEW YORK, May 10 (INS) Mitchell Parish, a grandfather who never had time to start his college education until after he had written lyrics for "Stardust" and nearly 1000 other songs, won election yesterday to the Phi Beta Kappa chapter at New York University. The highly-prized key, signifying membership in the nation's most select honorary scholastic society, went to only one other junior at New York University, a girl who was born a few months after "Stardust" had reached the top of the hit parade in 1929. The age of Parish was not disclosed. Quietly for the last few years.

Parish has been taking morning classes at N.Y.U. when most of "Tin Pan Alley" is asleep majoring in English literature. His college record shows almost straight "A's." He is scheduled to be graduated in June 195Q. Parish hasn't been neglecting songwriting. His latest, "Carousel of Love," was published two weeks ago.

Parish's hits, besides "Stardust," written to a tune by Hoagy Car-michael, include "Deep Purple," "Sophisticated Lady," "Stars Fell on Alabama" and "Stairways to the Stars." U.S. JUDGE EATS ASPARAGUS 3 DAYS; RULES ITS EDIBLE PORTLAND. May 10 (AP) -A United States district judge, after spending three days eating asparagus, yesterday dismissed the Government's suit against the Top-Side Canning Co. The Government had contended the "Ski brand of center asparagus cuts were more "fibrous and woody" than pure food laws allow. Judge Claude McColloch, who decided to taste his way to a decision, ruled that the asparagus "an excellent product, considering its low price." Government witnesses had contended they found a quarter of the canned eshoots inedible.

"I took three days to eat the asparagus," McColloch said. "I suspect the Goernment witnesses tried to eat their asparagus all at one ume, ana that may explain the severity of their "I can see where, after 50 to 60 cuts eaten without spelling oneself, ne might become very particular. BILL TO MAKE HANDBOOKS LEGAL IN CHICAGO IS PUT BEFORE ILLINOIS SENATE SPRINGFIELD, 111., May 10 (UP). THE Illinois Legislature was asked today to make the operation of handbooks in Chicago legal. State Senator Christopher C.

Wimbish Chicago introduced a bill in the State Senate calling for handbooks to be made legal. The bill, if adopted, would permit the city to license, tax and regulate handbooks. Money raised by the licensing would be turned over to the Board of Education and to the city. The bill would not affect other cities in the state. TRAFFIC LIGHTS PUT AT 8 INTERSECTIONS IN COUNTY IN 1949 Electric traffic signals have been installed at eight St.

Louis county intersections this year, and similar traffic controls are being considered for 16 other intersections, the State Highway Department announced today. New signals have been placed on Page boulevard at Pennsylvania avenue, Ferguson road, Sutter avenue and Ogden avenue, and at Brown and St. Charles Rock roads, Lindbergh and Ladue roads, Gra-vois and Heege roads and Gravois and McKenzie roads. -Six others- will be installed by fall on Laclede Station road at Manchester avenue and City Route 66, on St. Charles Rock road at North Hanley road and Pennsylvania avenue, and on Natural Bridge road at Florissant avenue and Carson road.

The total cost if all 24 signal systems are installed will be about $57,00. While admitting that electric controls slow traffic, R. W. Hod-son, area engineer for the highway department, said the number of automobiles using county highways during rush hours has made the signals necessary. CAB LINE GETS PERMIT TO TRY OUT THE AUSTIN Permission was granted the Laclede Cab Co.

today by the Board of Public Service to place a four-door Austin automobile in service as a taxicab for a trial period of 120 days. The company sought permission to use the vehicle on a trial basis to determine the reaction of the cab-riding public. The Austin automobile is three feet shorter and a foot narrower than the conventional taxicab, and will seat but three persons in addition to the driver. However, A. J.

Cervantes, president of the Laclede Cab Co. and Democratic Alderman of the Fifteenth Ward, told reporters the average taxi-cab passenger load does not require the larger vehicle. The smaller machine has proved 63 per cent more economical to operate, he said. Taxicab companies in several southern cities have been using the Austin successfully, Cervantes said.

DETROIT, May 10 (AP) The Ford strike, in which 65,000 men are idle and that many more face lay-offs, was carried to the peace table today. On the sixth day of the "speed-up" deadlock, management and teh CIO United Auto met this to seek a solution. In keeping with other events of this first major labor battle in a year in the auto industry, the agreement to negotiate came yesterday with dramatic suddenness.

Young President Henry Ford II, acting swiftly, accepted a proposal for talks from President Walter Reuter of the union. The two acted as strike-caused layoffs in Ford and supplied firms already were mounting into the thousands. A full 40,000 more Ford workers face idleness within a week if the strike Is not settled. Ford has said it may have to shut down all its 49 plants. Closing of its Mercury plant at St.

Louis is set for tomorrow. In agreeing to negotiations Ford said his company assumed that the talks would be "continued until this strike can be brought to a close." Turns Down Debate. He declined two accompanying proposals from Reuther, however. Ford said he would neither appear personally at the negotiations nor would be engage in a public debate with Reuther if the dispute were not settled by Friday. Reuther, in a public statement later, deplored Ford's answer on those two counts, but he carried the matter no further.

It was only a little more than two hours after receiving Reuther's invitation to negotiate that Ford returned his formal assent. Declining Reuther's proposal for a debate, Ford said "nothing useful" could be accomplished. The union president had suggested that he and Ford meet on a rostrunf in Briggs Stadium, home of the Detroit Tigers baseball team, before a mass meeting of Ford workrs. "The issues," Ford said, "must be resolved on their merits and by conscientious effort at the bargaining table by both parties, and not be emotional appeals." Eeuther's Request. Reuther asked for Ford's personal presence at the negotiations so that he could be "apprized of.

all the facts in the situation which you obviously do not have." However, Ford said he was leaving the negotiations to John S. Bugas, vice president in charge of industrial relations who headed the company team in the previous talks. Bugas, said Ford, is "fully informed" and is responsible to speak for management "on all matters involving relationships with your union." Heretofore the company proposed arbitration of the speed-up issue but the union has insisted on keeping it within the realm of collective bargaining. The union contends that the "human factor" precludes arbitration by a third party. Earlier, Ford had rejected mediation offers by acting Mayor George Edwards of Detroit and Mayor Orville L.

PAYS $20 TO TAKE HIS LOST DOG NOME, REAL ONE IS THERE POPLAR BLUFF, May 10 (AP) Cash Osgood, taxicab driver, was stopped by a man who excitedly exclaimed: "I found my dog. Don't know how he got to Poplar Bluff but it's him and I want you to take us to Chaffee, our home." Osgood said he would do that for $20. An hour later when Osgood stopped the cab in front of the passenger's home at Chaffee, the man and dog got out and as Osgood received his fee, another dog came running from the house. The amazed passenger looked at one dog, then the other.

Finally turning to Osgood, he pleaded, "Would you please take this dog back home?" ON END NG STR NEW ATTACK BY Military Informant Says Soviet Soldiers Took Over Three Outposts on Sunday. TEHRAN, May 10 (AP) A mill tary informant said today about a regiment of Soviet troops, sup ported by tanks and armored cars, attacked and occupied three Irani an outposts in the Azerbaijan area Sunday. The informant reported one Iranian missing and several wounded. There was no information available on Soviet casualties. The informant added that the Iranian army commander has protested to the Russians and that discussions are in progress on the spot.

No official announcement has been made. (Nothing on the report has come from Moscow). The military informant placed the attack In an area just northwest of Astara. This is a port of Soviet Azerbaijan on the west side of the Caspian sea. It is close to the border of Iranian Azerbaijan.

The informant said the Russians first attacked Saturday with a number of troops and fired on an Iranian outpost at Buzarjomehri. The Iranian garrison returned the fire and the Russians withdrew, waiting until the next day to attack again. This is the latest in a series of reports of Soviet-Iranian border incidents which have heightened the tension between the two countries. Recently Gurgan, an Iranian town on the Caspian in northeast Iran, was reported to be the scene of an incident in which an Iranian was killed and two others captured. Azerbaijan province was the scene of a serious clash b'etween Russia and Iran late in 1945, when the Russians supported a rebel Communist government in that northwestern province.

In their he said he quoted from Psalm 126 from his Hebrew Bible. He said the President opened his own Bible and read the same passage in English.

The Psalm tells of the joy of the Hebrews over release from captivity. The rabbi said he referred at another point to the second chapter, fourth verse, of Isaiah. The President was familiar with it, too, and it back to his visitor: And they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: Nation shall not lift up. sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."
