FIGURE BASED ON 10% SAVED IN "46 BUDGET

$301,958 Leftover to Be Used in Financing 1947 | Tax Rate. ~

By RICHARD LEWIS : All previous reports to the con-

trary, city hall will not have a de-|

| ®

ficit at the nd of this year. It

will wind up 1946 with a balance of $301,958 and all flags flying. | So predicted the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce tax research | divisbin today. The division consists of Carl Dortch and four sharp

lead pencils. He is the chamber’s tax analyst, Mr. Dortch, in a bulletin which

is bringing “I-told-you-so” grins to | the folks who inhabit the city con- | troller’s office, predicted the bal-| ance on the basis of the controller's figures for the first seven months of this year. Last spring, Mr. Dortch forecast a deficit of $305,163. He based this on full expenditure of the 1946! budget. “Conversion from deficit to balance,” he said today. “results from an anticipated saving of more than | 10 per cent projected by the oy controller in the general fund ac-! counts this year—largely made pos- | sible becaues the fire and police departments were not fully manned | during the first hal of this year.” Cautions Spending Mr. Dortch - advised caution in appraising the anticipated balance. With fire and police departments now" using their salary aecounts more fully, it may become more difficult to maintain the over-all 10 per cent savings, he warned. “This anticipated balance should not be viewed with great hope by department heads for accelerated spending during the remaining part of this year,” he advised. “The balance is being utilized in financing next year’s tax rate.” City councilmen bent their heads last night over tax estimates for 1947 to examine the requests of the police and fire departments, the dog pound, the weights and - measures department and the city signal division. They had been in recess since Friday, The police department is adding 144 additional men next vear. It is therefore asking for $2,375,370, an Increase of $693,984 over this year.

Hiker Tells Chicago Police Of Drowning Hoosier Girl

CHICAGO, Aug. 13 (U. P.).—Po-, lice today sought a crime to fit a| confession. | John Joseph Kardel, 17, frail Pat- | terson, N. J. hitchhiker, confessed yesterday that he drowned an on identified cross-eyed Indiana girl Jast July 13 while they were swimming in the nude in Lake Michigan.

But police said such a crime never had been reported, and that they

_ had heard nothing about a missing

Indiana girl of the description given by Kardel.

He described her as about 20

years old, weighing 125 pounds, with |:

dark hair, one crooked eye, protruding teeth, a scar one-inch wide on the right side of her body and a mole on the left side of her neck. Police believed that Kardel's story might be imaginary. They found a notebook in his pocket in which he had written an account of his confession which differed in several details from his oral version.

slaying occurred in self-defense. “1 killed her, I had to, or she

would, have killed me,” the account |

said. Held Pending Probe

Kardel was held, however, pending an investigation. It was considered possible that his confession might be a lead to solution of the mytsery of a battered, partly decomposed torso found here yesterday off the Lake Michigan shore. Police had been unable to determine the age or sex of the victim from the torso. The youth was picked up on Chicago's south side for routine questioning as a suspicious character. Noticing a newsprint account of the finding of the. torso, he summoned a jail guard and said his sconscience bothered him. Kardel told police the girl picked him up near Terre Haute last July 13, while she was driving tol
