 FITS CRITICISM
Jailed Former Prosecutor Says
 Politics Behind Case

los Angeles, Dee. 23 (UP)-The announcement by District Attorney Buron Fitts that he is near solution of the mysterious murder of Will liam Desmond Taylor, film director, was the subject of new criticism to- day by Fitts' predecessor, Asa Reyes.
 From his jail cot, where he is re- covering from a jawbone operation, Reyes charged the announcements by F'itts anl former Governor Friend w. Richardson were politi- cal.
 Richardson said in Berkeley that he had been told by a convict that a movie actress killed Taylor, but that the Los Angeles county grand jury had conflded that Reyes, since convicted of bribery in the Julian Petroleum cases, would not prose- cute.
 "Thc Taylor murder occurred in 1922 while Thomas Lee Woolwine was district attorney. Fitts and l were both deputies. Woolwine in- vcstigated thoroughly. When I be- came district attorney and Pitts was

 The stores will close at o'clock tomorrow evening, thus those who are too busy shopping prior to that time will have more opportunity to hear the bells. The o'clock playing will be mainly for the benefit of the Christmas shoppers.

Opposition in Congress Expected
 to Proposed Plan

Washington. Dec. 2% P)-Wash- ington today pokcd inquiringly into the future in an effort to forecast the outcome of the interstate com mcrCe commissions plans for the consolidation of the nations rail- roads.
 The commissions proposal has in itself no binding effect and was in tended for the guidance of the car riers in taking voluntary action. Ii IS believed in many quarters that. lacking the cooperation of the rail lines, additional legislation must be enacted by congress if the plan is to be made operative. For this sea son, there was q particularly sharp watch for any indication of the at tltude of the roads, attended Lv much speculation as 10 what their reaction might be, in the course of which it was pointed out that the commissions proposals fell short of the previously expressed wishes of number of the carriers.
 Briefly, the plan of the commis- sion would establish 19 competing transportation units, with five trunk lines in tho eastern section, two in New England, three in the south and nine in the west.
 Lines in Plan
 Among the proposed key lines were the Pennsylvania, Baltimore & Ohio, Chesapeake &5 Ohio, New York Central and the Wabash in the east; the Boston X Maine and Now Haven in New England: the Atlantic Coast Line, the Southern and the Illinois Central in the south; and, the Great Northern Northern Pacific systems, the Chi cago Milwaukee St. Paul and Pa citic, the Burlington. the Union Pa ellie, the Southern Pacific, the santa Fe, the Missouri Pacific, the Rock
