gome groups.” The Taft measure would provide $200 million a year for general medical, surgical and hospital servfces and an additional $20 million for dental service, It would require state and local units to match federal contributions. Mr. Taft estimated the Republican bill would cost less than $250 million a year, compared with $3 billion to $5 billion for the adistration plan. Mr, Taft's co-sponsors were SenJoseph H. Ball (R. Minn), H. der Smith (R. N. J) and Forrest C. Donnell (R. Mo),
Lilienthal Praised And Condemned
David E Lillenthal’s qualifications to head the nation's atomic energy program were staunchly defended today by Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson, but strongly attacked by Dr. Arthur E. Morgan,
former chairman of the Tennessee [’
Valley authority. "Dr. Morgan, who was Mr. Lilienthal’'s superior in the early years of TVA, accused his Hoosler-reared former colleague of a “personal desire to be irresponsibly in power” and of “misleading the public.” Dr. Morgan was fired as TVA chairman in 1939 when the late President Roosevelt sided with Mr. Lilienthal in a bitter battle over control of the agency. - Mr. Roosevelt said Dr. Morgan made “grave and libelous charges of dishonesty” against his fellow board members without furnishing proof. Conflicting Testimony
The conflicting testimony highlighted a major split which threatened Republican senate leadership in the Lilienthal fight. . Oppesition to Mr. Lilienthal was increasing. Senator Robert A. Taft (R. O.) was critical of Lilienthal, and a group headed by Senator Arthur J. Vandenburg (R. Mich) was friendly to the nomination. Mr. Patterson told senate members of the joint atomic energy committee that Mr. Lilienthal’ nomination should be confirmed quickly. He said Mr. Lilienthal and President Truman's other nominees to the commission are men oe “character, ability and loyalty.” . Patterson said the army alny found Mr. Lilienthal cooperative during his . administration of the Tennessee Valley authority.
Charge "Red Tape’
Aids Communists
The house un-American activities committee will investigate whether the state department “through connivance or bureaucratic red tape” made it easy for a Communist spy ring to operate in this country, it was learned today. A veteran committee niember said the question will be “explored thoroughly” at the committee's next meeting, slated tentatively for Feb. 19. “We're not prepared now to say there was. any connivance in the state department,” he said, “but we want to find out why it was so ridiculously easy for Communists like’ Gerhart Eisler to visit this gountry time after time. “Certainly, it could have been prevented by a proper amount of alertness. Perhaps it was just and red tape that made it so easy for them.” ‘ This member pointed out that testimony before the committee indicated that Eisler, alleged to be # key figure in a Russian espionage ring, had been in this country illegally several times before he entered officially as a refugee in 1941:
Rents
Senator Glen H, Taylor (D. Ida.) said after a White House visit he thinks President Truman might veto legislation authorizing a general increase in rents. Chairman C. Douglass Buck (R. Del.) said he expected his senate banking subcommittee to recommend both a general increase in rent ceilings and decontrol of new housing this week.
Labor
Senator Wayne L. Morse (R. Ore.) criticized the closed shop but questioned the constitutionality of legislation to outlaw it. He was questioning Almon E. Roth, president of the National Federation of American Shipping, Inc., at a senate labor committee hearing. Mr, Roth called for sweeping labor’ changes, but said the ship industry |A did not favor abolition of industrywide bargaining.
Portal Pay It appeared that both the house and senate might get a chance next week to. act on legislation to outlaw portal pay suits. Committees of both houses hoped to send bills to the floor early next week,

BEATEN TO DEATH-—The brutally beaten nude body of Mrs. Jeanne T. French, 45-year-old former "flying nurse," was found on a Los Angeles hill ‘top.

(Continued From Page One) ternation set” in Paris, London and
Police said that French's account of his activities between midnight Sunday and the discovery of the body Monday showed “major discrepancies.” Former Film Actress “We believe we have the right man,* officers said. Mrs. French, a former movie actress and one-time companion to the New York oil heiress Millicent Rogers, was the victim of the city's second mutilation slaying in less than a month, Her nude body, beaten and mutilated, was discovered by a bulldozer éperator en roiite to a housing project. Scrawled in lipstick across her abdomén was an obscene taunt and the letters “B. D.” Police thought they stood for “Black Dahlia,” the name applied to beautiful Elizabeth Short, who was savagely murdered Jan. 15. They doubted there 'was any connection between the two cases. French denied at first that he had seen his wife Sunday night, police said, then admitted they had been “drinking around in various bars” until 11:45 p. m. Then she started a quarrel, he said, hit him with her purse and left. Married Two Years
Prench and the former Jeanne Axford Thomas, as she was known when she appeared in movies in the 1930s, were married only two years ago. A trained nurse by profession, Mrs. French acquired the nickname of the “flying nurse” when she became one of the nation’s first women pilots in 1929, She was a pioneer airline stewardess, a nurse for a flying ambulance service and a fying army nurse during the War. “He As private nurse to ‘Miss Rogers, former wife of Count Salm, she had an apartment in Paris and traveled in the international set more a3 a friend than an employee. She returned here in 1940. Mrs. PFrench’s killer apparently had bludgeoned her, then stamped on her with his heavy shoes. Her face was mashed and her identity was established .from fingerprints.
Taber (R. N. Y.), chairman of the full committee, said it was “altogether possible” the ceiling might be set as low as $31% billion—$6 billion less than President Truman’s budget.

Study Problem
: Times State Service . NEW CASTLE, Ind. Feb, 11—A
. This has been agreed upon by a committee from the New Castle Ministerial association meeting with Mayor Sidney .E, Baker, City Attorney C. M. DeWitt and Police Chief Donald L. Long. It was. decided that the best method of approaching the problem at its source was to eliminate the desire for the “gambling thrill.” Enforcement of gambling laws locally, the group agreed, is hampered by difficulty in securing convictions after arrests because of legal technicalities and by indifference of the general public concerning violations of statq gambling laws. All New Castle citizens were called upon by the ministerial association to “help rid the city of the gambling evil, both by fighting against it and by sponsoring all decent youth activities” Members of the ministerial committee included Rev. Harold M. Thrasher of the Trinity Methodist church, chairman; Rev. William J. Butt of the Trinity Lutheran church and Rev. Leonard Hall of the First Friends church.
