But haven't you got a new chemical bomb coming up?” “I can’t answer that al the mo“I would like you to consider them for that stuff,” Rep. May told him. “Let me assure you of one thing— Dr. Garsson is not making any complaints. In fact, I suggested it to him. He was going tow rite a Jetter to you about it. He is very grateful for what you have done.” Refreshes Memory Gen. Hardy told the committee refreshed

to Senator Hugh B. Mitchell (D.

WASHINGTON, July 11 (U, P). —Cordell Hull, former secretary of state, today appealed for house approval «af the $3,750,000,000 British loan. with a warning the world faces a choice of co-operating for peace or drifting into discord and possibly “another world war.” The elder statesman’'s appeal was contained in a letter to House Speaker Sam Rayburn ~(D. Tex.) as the house prepared to swing into the third day of debate on the controversial loan. Meanwhile, Speaker Rayburn said
would pass the house by an “overwhelming majority.” Mr. Hull Acknowledged the - loan is not a “panacea” for all the| world’s ills.

DOUBT VIOLENCE IN HOLTZ DEATH
Officials Believe Died of Heart Attack.
An autopsy performed on the body of Mrs; Mary Estelle Holtz, 66, who was found dead in her home at 2910 E, 11th st, yesterday, disclosed that she apparently died of a heart attack about three days ago, Dr. Roy B. Storms, coroner, said today. Previous suspicions that might have been strangied to death by a burglar were discounted by police after subsequent investigations. Mrs. Holtz, widow of William A. Holtz, a former police captain who died several years ago, was seen by neighbors Saturday wh she went to a nearby grocery store. Police Call Firemen Neighbors said they didn't “see her Sunday or Monday. When she didn’t respond to knocks on the door yesterday they called police. When police were unable to open doors or windows on the first floor, they called firemen to bring a ladder. Firemen crawled through a second story window, went downstairs and found the body of Mrs, Holtz lying on a cot. Examination of the body disclosed no marks of violence of any kind, Dr, Storms said. Find Ne Money Robbery was suspected when police were unable to find any money or jewelry in ‘the house. It was learned later, however, that Mrs. Holtz had a safety deposit box at a downtown bank and that her valuables probably were in the box. Mrs, Holts had been prominent for many years in lodge and church circles. She was a member of the Daylight chapter, O, E. 8., Indianapolis Shrine 6, White Shrine of Jerusalem, Women’s Auxiliary of Indianapolis police department and the Christian church. She is survived by a step-son, Walter Holtz, Indianapolis, and a half-sister, living in Ohio.

PLAN HELPFUL T0 TAXPAYERS
Relief Promised for Hoosiers ‘Lost’ Under System Now in Effect.
By ROBERT BLOEM Relief for hundreds of “lost” taxpayers was promised by the gross income tax division today. Already under way, State Treasurer Frank T. Millis announced, is a mass conversion from the current | county-by-county filing. system to a statewide method of keeping income tax records. Replying to scattered complaints from taxpayers that they had received “duns” for back taxes which actually had been paid, Mr. Millis pointed out the current survey of records is being made to save penalties and interest for: those accidentally or intentionally delinquen Help Shortage Is Factor “Because of shortages of expert help and a number of other factors, the gross income tax division almost three years behind in checking up on delinquencies,” Mr. Millis said. ; “One cause of sending cut fequests to persons who actually haveias paid their tax regularly is that under the present system many who

literally are lost. They filed in a new county this year and it would, in some cases, require a check of dozens of other counties to ascertain whether or not previous years’ taxes have been paid.”
