old was found beside a bridle path in a lonely, Wooded area of Staten Island yesterday by a 12-year-old boy on horseback. | A peasant-type scarf was knotted jround her neck. She had been dead about three days, authorities I said, and the strangler bad attempted tp Cover her five-foot five-inch, l?0-pound body with dirt and tw|gs. Recent rains bad washed away apy footprints left by the killer. Richmond county district attorney Herman Methfessel said the woman possibly had been raped in the tbicklywoode4 section near Todt (which means “death” in German) Hill, % favorite sp.ot for picnickers and lovers. \ “If the murderer hap carried her body at least 50 feet deeper into the underbrush, it probably would not have been discovered for years/’ Methfessel said. ' He said she had been stripped of her clothes except' for her brown stockings and one green shoe. Her other shoe, a print dress which had been rlppe<| down tb® side, pair of pink panties on which were lettered “Tpesday, my love,” had been wrapped in a woman's brightly colored raincoat found about 1,500 feet away. Rain-cpated detectives found her white brassiere, stamped “Deep *N’ Dark," a man’s bloody handkerchief, a New Jersey department store purchase slip and a bundle of green vouchers wrapped in a Saturday newspaper in an abandoned cellar near the brldlfe path. ' The woman’s empty pocketbook had been discarded about 300 feet from the spot where Her body was discovered. A yputh told police he found the pocketbpok two days ago but tossed it away because it Was empty. i Methfessel ordered 20 detectives to check stores in New Jersey, Staten Island and Brooklyn for information that would reveal \ her identity. . ’ \ “Detectives have taken the raincoat to various bars and grills in Staten Island, but so far have been unsuccessful in finding; anyone who remembered seeing the murdered woman,” Methfessel said. Methfessel said the woman possibly was killed Sunday or Monday and dragged to the secluded spot, which can not be reached by automobile. Authorities said the woman could have been slain before she was disrobed because her raincoat had been pulled insidb put. '

Big Spending Only ** .* -fe Beginning In U.S. Workers Os Nation Facing Heavy Taxes Washington, May 24 — (UP) — The commerce department has come up I with figures snowing that the nation’s 13,000,000 manufacturing workers are earning at the rate of more than $8,000,000,000 a year. ' ' ' t That whacks up to an average of about $62.80 for a 40.8-hopr work week. The manufacturing workers never had it so good. (But just how good they really have it Is a matter of noisy dispute. They are getting 14 cents an hqur on the average above wages of April, 1950. But while wages climb, taxes and the cost of living skyrocket. The costqf living was 8.5 percent higher In April than in June a year ago. The house ways and fVneans committee is arranging a percent tax increase for these manufacturing* workers whose taxes also were hiked last year. The arrange; ments of the house committee fall far short of what is needed if the United States is to continue to re-arm itself and help arm its friends throughout 5 the world. ( Committeemen have spent months seekfng places where additional tax could be laid without breaking the taxpayer down altogether. New revenue spotted to date adds up to well under< $7,000,000,000 whereas Prekident Truman wanted $lO,000,000,000 this time and will need more later to keep the budget in balance\ Congress is up against a fact which daily confronts the average working man and woman: it is a lot easier to spend than to accumulate it. Congress and Mr. Truman are free spenders. And the big spending is only beginning. Mr. Truman’s proposed $9,000,000,000 foreign economic and milii tary aid appropriation now going to congress represents a lot more spending, for example, Jhffn 13.000,000 American manufacturing workers will be able to earn in a year. Government spending now is at the rate of around $100,000,000 a day. The treasury’s books Ipok good, however, because revenue in this fiscal year is running well ahead of expenditures. The fiscal year will end June 30 with.a fat surplus. This surplus was not expected. Mr. Truman had budgeted for a\ deficit, ppt the 1950 tax bill struck gold. The 1951 tax bill is not likely, to achieve any such happy miracle. A great deal of time is required to get a big spending program under way. Congress has appropriated enormous sums, but only recently have expenditures in this fiscal year begun to exceed those for comparable periods of last yeac, The bulge, however, is very evident now. Defense spending is beginning to boom. Since July 1, 1950, when the-current fiscal, year began, the government has spent for all forms of defense, including atomic energy commission spending, nearly $20,000,000;000. In the comparable period of a year ago the spending figure was $14,340,000,000. A year from now the spread will be even greater. Taxes will go up or the nation will return to inflationary treasury deficits. >!’ ' 4 Inviteci To Attend Conservation Camp L.
