Also found on the blood-spat-tered road was the ammunition clip from a .45 caliber automatic pistol and part of tffe broken buttplate from the same type gun. Everson believed the girl was picked up on a Boulder street and taken to the spot where the bloodstains were found. There, according to Everson, she probably was beaten with the pistol and stuffed into the trunk of the car. The sheriff said he found marks of a struggle and the broken buttplate from the gun indicated she

Municipal League Urges Tax Reform Reapportionment Os Legislature Sought Indianapolis. Nov. 11 — (UP) — The board of directors of the Indiana municipal league today recommended legislative reapportionment to the 1949 general assembly in an effort to obtain better taxing representation. The board, in a meeting here yesterday, outlined a seven-point program for state tax reform. The board also suggested that I reapportionment be financed by j s*ate funds, instead of by the present $3-a-day-levy on counties. This, said the board, was too low a pay scale for workers, | The board called for a constitutional amendment providing for reapportionment by census count | ' every IT) years. Board officials i said that, despite a constitutional provision that reapportionment be carried out every six years, noth- | ing has been done since 1921. Other suggested reforms included representation of the league on the governor’s tax study commis-j sion. a committee to prepare leg-1 islation “in accordance with the proposals of the last convention of the league,” and a 120,000 fund to finance the proposed legislative program. The board also recommended i that Fort Wayne Mayor Henry i 1 Branning. league president, confer I with Gov.-elect Henry Schricker on a study of civil city finances to be presented to the legislature. Hoover Commission Reports In January Recommend Savings Os Several Billions Washington, Nov. 11 — (UP) — Former president Herbert Hoover said today the recommendations to be made by his commission on reorganization of the executive branch of government probably would result in savings of “several billion dollars a year" if carried out. The Hoover commission is seeking ways to streamline and make more efficient the president’s own branch of government. The former president told a news conference the commission had been directing its recent thinking 1 | to: 1. Establishment of a staff serI vice tor the president to relieve him of many administrative duties. 2. Creation of a career service in I government to make such work a lifetime job, and to boost the salaries of executives who already are earning more than $5,000-a-I year. In this way. he expected to j get better men for the government i jobs. 3. Making the postoffice department a revolving fund agency, and | cutting out much of its present red ' tape. Mr. Hoover emphasized that politics should be taken out of the post office department. He said the I commission probably would recomI mend that postmasters be appointed ) no matter what their politics. He said the commission also I woud recommend a new position of' “director of posts" to act as the i actual operating head under the ' postmaster general. Mr. Hoover said his commission created 14 months ago will make ; its report on time to the 81 con- ■ gress. It is due by Jan. 13. 10 days after the new congress convenes.

Theorists who argue Democratic victory was due mostly to Republican "abstentions" (argument works both ways, however) are somewhat borne out by thia chart, comparing number . voting with potential vote for 1948 (Truman defeated Dewey). 1944 (Roosevelt defeated Dewey) and 1940 (Roosevelt defeated Willkie). Record vote was cast in 1940. Vote for 1948 would have to total about 55.000,000 to equal it, due to population increase. Potential 1948 vote Is estimated at up to 95,000,000. (lateraatioatl'

Nov. 11.—(UP)-r j Sen. Joseph C. O’Mahoney, D., Wyo., said today that post-election stock market breaks were caused by “disappointed speculators” who had counted on a Republican victory and a ‘gravy bowl” for big business. But another prominent Democra- ! tic senator, who declined to be 1 quoted by name, said business “anxiety" over the administration s i price, labor and tax policies might be responsible. He suggested that administration leaders issue a policy statement in the near future to let businessmen know what to expect. O’Mahoney, who is in line to head the joint congressional economic committee in January, attributed the market declines to activities of short-term and insisted that “a high level of prosperity" continues. "No doubt,” he said, "many speculators bought stocks, over-per-suaded that the inauguration of Gov. Dewey would mean a gravy bowl for big business." O Mahoney foresaw a “continued high level of prosperity,” with unfilled demands for many types of goods at home and continued heavy spending abroad. "Producers and manufacturers who are directly involved in carrying on their business have no cause for worry," he said. “Demand for most products will continue high.” Despite these reassurances, however, other Democrats talked of the advisability of issuing a policy statement before the new congress convenes in January. It was pointed out that thus far the administration s program has been revealed only to a limited extent. Among the guideposts have been: 1. Rent director Tighe E. Woods' statement that he will ask congress to extend and strengthen I rent controls. 2. A presidential adviser’s report that Mr. Truman will make one more attempt at “persuasion”— looking toward a voluntary program of price cuts —before renewing his demand for wage-price controls and rationing authority. 3. Talk of negotiations with western European countries on American arms assistance, a pro- ' gram that would mean new industrial orders. 4. A recommendation that compulsory allocation of steel be reestablished it the arms program is carried out. Arrested Man To Return To Chicago Lloyd Fields, of Chicago, who was arrested by city police Tuesday for public intoxication, has decided to quit his railroad job here and return to his home.
