frf. I. Probes Slaying
Of 14-Year-Old Girl
At Fort Snelling
y .Sergeant's Daughter
^ 'Strangled; Body Found
In Old Oil Drum
Wiftbt Associated Press.
‘ >ORT SNELLING, Minn., July 22.
•-The brutal slaying of the 14-year
old daughter of an Army sergeant,
whose body was found jackknifed
Into an old oil drum yesterday set
Federal agents to work behind a veil
of secrecy today in an effort to
trace the killer.
The girl, Mary Jane Massey,
(laughter of Sergt. and Mrs. William
A. Massey, disappeared July 13. Her
body was found crammed into the oil
drum in a brush and weed-covered
ravine a few blocks from her home.
. Victim of Strangler.
Autopsy surgeons said the girl
had been strangled, but they were
unable to determine whether she
had been criminally assaulted. No
announcement was made as to
whether a murder w'eapon was
.found.
F. B. I. officers took charge of the
investigation because the crime
occurred on a military reservation.
They declined to divulge any infor
mation and refused to confirm a re
port that two men had been ar
rested.
Home Guarded.
A guard was placed before the
Massey home, and Fort Snelling
authorities announced the action
had been taken at the request of
the sergeant to prevent any intru
sion on the family.
Sergt. Massey and two St. Paul
detectives discovered the body about
noon yesterday, less than a half
hour after the three started out on
the search which, until then, had
been fruitless for a week, despite the
efforts of several hundred soldiers
at the fort.
Maj. Warren W. Christian, post
adjutant, said the entire reserva
tion had been gone over at least
three times. The St. Paul detectives,
Boyd Carrier and Morgan Soderberg.
entered the case after appeals of
the girl's parents and with permis
sion of Fort Snelling authorities.
Military authorities referred all
Inquiries about the case to the F.
B. I. Lloyd H. Richmond, special
agent in charge of the St. Paul
office, declined to answer questions,
faying the case “is still in the no
comment stage.”

'War Prosperity' Seen
Bringing Gloomy Future
A gloomy future for the “war
prosperity” of this country is pre
dicted in the analysis, “Government
Spending and Economic Expansion,”
just issued by Profs. Arthur E.
Burns and Donald S. Watson of
George Washington University.
“Whether we get in or stay out,
war prosperity can end in only one
way—depression,” the authors state.
“The bigger the war prosperity, the
bigger the post-war depression. New
investment to meet war demands
would stop suddenly in the post-war
period. Foreign orders and (if we
were in) domestic war demands
cease.
“The old story of distorted war
industry, with its mass unem
ployment and dislocations, would be
repeated. Government spending
would shift from war purposes to
extensive public works and relief
outlays. • • • Post-war depression
expenditures to follow this present
war promise to equal or exceed the
best spending years of the 1930s.”
Shelly Play Is Praised
By Dublin Critics
Dramatic critics of Dublin, Erie,
are praising Lady Longford's new
play on Shelly and pronouncing it
one of the most charming produc
tions of the season.
The author chose the last years of
the poet’s life, when with his cher
ished friends, he lived at Pisa, and
from whence he set out to meet his
fate by drowning. Shelly’s literary
group, including Byron, are depicted.
