Business sessions start today at the 79th annual convention of the Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. Most of the The Moving of Roger DeLoach Insurance Company and Roger DeLoach Wholesale Company PIPING HOT! Headmaster's hot water In a hurry means real luxury economically. LONDON, July 15 UP) John Reginald Halliday Christie, 55, the Notting Hill sex strangler who confessed he killed seven women but might have murdered more, was hanged today in Pentonville Prison. Even as he died, a controversy raged over whether the mild-appearing transport worker and wartime auxiliary cop was guilty of a baby's murder for which another man was hanged three years ago. The case of the insanity-pleading wholesaler in killing, who walled up his victims' bodies in his apartment or buried them in his garden, had shocked Britain as no other murder spree since Jack the Ripper's.

The sentence was carried out by Albert Pierrepont, England's chief hangman, who keeps a Yorkshire pub called "Help the Poor Straggler" when not at his official duties. Pierrepont placed the noose with its attached black hood over Christie's head just before the scheduled hour, 9 a. m. Then the trap was sprung with a crash that echoed throughout the grim prison. A crowd of about 200 persons, including many school children, were gathered outside the prison gate.

A truckload of police waited near the gate but there was no disturbance. The continuing roversy hinged on Christie's confession at his trial that he strangled a neighbor's wife three years ago. The neighbor, Timothy Evans, was accused of killing both his wife and baby daughter but was convicted and hanged only for the infant's death. Christie's confession aroused speculation that Christie also killed the baby, though he denied this. Queen's Counsel John Scott Henderson, after a secret government inquiry, announced yesterday that Christie had lied in his confession and that he did not kill Mrs.

Evans. Evans mother and two sisters remained unconvinced and wrote Queen Elizabeth II last night, asking a public investigation. Seventeen Laborite members of Parliament also presented an llth-hour motion demanding Christie's execution be stayed so he could testify at such an investigation. The death sentence was carried out on schedule, however. Christie was sentenced June 25 after a five-day trial in Old Bailey Court.

He rad testified that his ghoulish kills over a 10-year period most of them street walkers throttled or suffocated in the throes of illicit love might have totaled more than seven women but he wasn't sure. He was tried, however, only for the murder of his wife Ethel, 54, whose decaying body was found beneath the parlor floor in their dingy Notting Ilill tenement apartment. East Berliners Snap Up Western Food BERLIN, July 15 UB Thousands of hungry East Berliners scorned Soviet promises today and came to WTest Berlin's "relief market" for food they cannot buy in bare-shelved Communist stores behind the Iron Curtain. It was the second day of a practical food relief program which has brought howls of rage from Communist propagandists. The food distributed was not much in relation to the 18 million people living on short rations in Soviet East Germany but it was a severe blow to Communist pride.

Right on the sector border, in full view of both East and West, "capitalistic" West Berlin was doling out food to the people Moscow calimed it could feed without West-tern interference when it turned down a 15 million dollar American food offer. The way East Berliners snapped up the Western food at less than a fifth the normal price proved the emptiness of Moscow's claims and of East Berlin's grocery stores. More than 1,000 quarts of milk and 11 tons of potatoes were distributed before noon today. Yesterday's output was 1,820 quarts of milk, 2,200 pounds of cherries and 11,200 oranges.

The hikes are a half cent on 99 per cent minimum average aluminum pig and one cent on 99 per cent plus basic ingot. This brings the price of pig to 20 cents a pound and ingot to 21H. Prices on other grades of ingot were increased one-half cent a pound or more depending upon form and composition. The company said other price advances will follow soon. Reds Renew "(Continued from page I) wards reported from the front that there was little action last night and this morning.

Heavy rain lashed troops, softened roads and sent flash floods down mountain ravines. By afternoon, however, the rains ended. The sharp lull was unusual in a Chinese offensive. It remained to be seen whether it was a temporary delay due to the soggy weather, a genuine lack of Chinese power, or that the Reds were satisfied with their gains so far. The size of the gains were restricted information by order of the 8th Army.

But while solid, they did not seem in themselves any real peril to the Allied position, front-line reports said. Red infiltration units were reported as much as four miles behind the Allied main line. Light spotter planes that flew through rain and low clouds reported the Reds were shuttling artillery, supplies and fresh Infantry toward newly occupied positions. Bomb and rocket-laden planes, their engines warmed up, marked time for a break in the clouds to roar northward toward the swarming Chinese. As the overcast began to clear late Wednesday, the Fifth Air Force stepped up blows against the Reds.

Before that, fewer than 100 planes unloaded about 100 tons of bombs on Communist frontal areas from Kumsong to the east coast. On the front. Allied forces were fully alerted for further Red assaults. Units were sorted out and redeployed over the bloodied sector east of Kumhwa to the Pukhan River. Muddy roads were clogged with supply trucks headed toward the front.
