NEAR Los ANGELES
Officials Believe 1t Was Sew
cred From Torso Discovered
Nearby Last Month.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES. May 19.-The head
of a girl was found buried in the sands
near the Los Angeles River by deputy
sheriffs late today. The discovery was
made not far from the spot where the
torso of a woman was recovered from
the river last April.
The head was preserved sufnclently
to hermit identification by any one ac-
ouainted with the victim, deputy sher-
ifs said. .,..
After a cursory examination. authori-
ties declared the manner in which tne
head had been severed corresponoeo
to the surgery practiced on the I'M
identified woman's body. A positive
connection cannot be established. tney
said until chemists have studied the
physical structure.
The head appeared to be that OF q
person between Is and Is years OLD,
approximately the age estimated 1or
the torso.
The discovery was made after au-
thorities had been attracted to the
SPOT by the unevenness OF the SANDS.
A small pit was found in which the
head reposed, and. at first glance. they
said it appeared that possibly body
had been buried there and washed away
by heavy rains.

U. S. Control Need.

Consolidation of radio, telephone and
telegraph companies into communica-
tions companies regulated by the Gov
eminent was proposed as an economic
necessity yesterday by Maj. Gen. George
S. Gibbs, chief signal officer Of the
Army. in testimony before the Senate
interstate commerce committee.
He declared that the present law,
which forbids radio communications to
own telephone and telegraph stock,
was unfortunate and reactionary."
The committee is considering a bill
to set up a Federal communications
commission to regulate radio, telegraph,
telephone and cables in interstate
commerce.
THE method of the present law is
all wrong" Gibbs said, adding that the
time will come when all communica-
tons will be carried on by companies
formed to operate by wireless as well
as by wire" He asserted that erection
Of artificial barriers between radio and
wire companies makes for inefflciency."
The Army, he said. which controls all
communications in Alaska, would not
have done so well If it had had to con-
tend with such barriers"
