Mr. Gabrielson. and Democratic National Chairman William M. Boyle Jr.
Informed quarters predicted the committee will direct some criticism at both party chairmen, but will not pass a final judgment on the propriety of their contacts with the RFC.

The committee has been look- * ing into Mr. Gabrielson’s efforts to »win a time extension on repayiments of an $185 million RFC Joan to the Carthage Hydrocol Cbo., of which he is president and : gounsel.

School band director whose home
was bombed Tuesday night, said| today the bombing and other at-|
tacks on his home may have stemmed from “discipline” enforced in the band ranks. Mr. Swanson said that since last week clothesline and a garden hose have been cut at his home and other acts of vandalism committed. Last night a home-made bomb fashioned of a piece of pipe with gunpowder or dynamite was thrown. into his basement. It blew out a window but caused little damage and no one was hurt. Mr. Swanson said there may have been some reaction among students because he “turned in” a football player who failed to report for band practice last week. “I don't really know so I'm not going to point fingers at anybody,” Mr. Swanson said, “but that may be the cause of the trouble.”

“My feet hurl” she said, ex‘plaining the bared tootsies. It was understandable. She had been through a pretty trying day. The London-born actress arrived in our town by plane from New York after a flight from abroad.

The girl can write, too. One of her hobbies is pets. She has owned a chipmunk, a squirrel, a flock of cats, dogs, horses and white mice. She wrote a book about her pet chipmunk which she called “Nibbles and Me.”
“It didn't sell very good,” she admitted. “But I wrote it all by myself. It's mine and I love it.”

James P. Finnegan admitted to House investigators yesterday that he was assessed $2444 in ad.! ditional {ncome taxes for 1947, 1948 and 1949 while he was serving as St. Louis Internal Revenue Collector. But he swore that he never used his post to advance his private law practice and said ¢he would have resigned several times except that the White House and President Truman himself urged {him to stay on. Mr. Finnegan's admission about {the tax assessment was brought jout by Rep. Carl T. Curtis (R. Neb.), a member of a House Ways and Means subcommittee jnvestigating “scandals” in Internal Revenue Bureau offices in several cities. | Target by Jury Probe i Mr. Finnegan, who resigned last. April and whose activities have been the target of a grand jury investigation, said in reply, to questions by M.. Curtis that! he was assessed $807 in extra! taxes for 1947, $561 for 1948 and $896 for 1949. | With Mr. Finnegan's consent, Mr. Curtis read into the record some of the figures from Mr. Finnegan's returns for the three years. - They showed that Mr.|
