' There were three puncture wounds in Barbara’s chest, which appeared to have been made by an ice pick. Patricia’s face was battered and bruised. Fear Mass Killer Police threw some 9,000 men . into the search, fearing that a mass killer of children may be loose in Chicago. Sheriff Joseph Lohman said there were “marked similarities’’ between the murders of the sisters and the boys. Undersheriff Tom Brennan said the two cases “could be the same thing or else it could be somebody following a pattern.” The girls’ father, Joseph, identified their bodies as they lay in a ditch and then broke into hysterical sobs. i rradG to a GOOG — tMcaUu

Legislator Drafting Nel Income Tax Bill Is Preparing Bill 4 For 1959 Session INDIANAPOLIS (UP)— Rep. David L. Grimes (R-Fill-more) today said he is working on a net income tax bill but it would not be introduced in the Indiana House until the 1959 session. Grimes said research for a "good net income tax” would take too long to get the bill in shape before the next General Assembly. “Indiana University is writing a bill now and has directed the Tax Study Commission to do research so it can go to the next Legislature,” he said. Grimes predicted that no net income bills will be introduced in the current session. He said the bill is needed because “taxes are already so high that some people are paying beyond their limits while others, are not paying very much-”
House Group To Hear Humphrey
On Budget Cut Battle Os Budget Officially Opens In House Today WASHINGTON (UP)-The battle of the budget officially opened today in the House. The House Appropriations Committee called in Treasury Secretary George M. Humphrey to tell where he thinks President Eisenhower’s record $71.8 billion budget should be cut. Humphrey in open dissent already has said "there are a lot of places" where savings could be made. Economy minded congressmen want him to pinpoint them. The appropriations committee gets first crack at the budget. What it does with it carries much weight. The committee usually begins its work on the budget in subcommittees. However, Chairman Clarence Cannon (D-Mo), said he called the full committee to hear Humphrey and others first this year “because this time the situation seems to warrant it.” Other congressional news: Economic: The President sent his annual economic report to Congress. He was. expected to warn the nation that mounting inflationary pressures must be checked to keep America’s prosperity sound. Doctrine: The House Foreign Affairs Committee scheduled a series of day-long closed sessions to complete work on the Eisenhower Doctrine by the week end. The committee is expected to approve it without substantial change. Civil Bights: A drive by Sen. Thomas C. Hennings Jr. (D-Mo) to speed up action on the administration’s civil rights program appeared headed for trouble. Delay —perennial foe of civil rights bills -.threatened the program in the Senate Judiciary Committee. . Farm: Congressional farm law writers quarreled over whether corn growers or drought-stricken ranchers should get priority in considering aid programs tor them. Meantime, a House Agriculture subcommittee called a meeting to hear pleas for a vast new drought relief program proposed by Texan congressmen. Refugees: The House immigration subcommittee planned to open an investigation Thursday into the administration’s Hungarian refugee program. Subcommittee Chairman Francis E. Walter has charged visa* were issued illegally I to 6,300 refugees. If you have aometning to sell or ‘rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad. It brings results.
