The murder was discovered late
yesterday when two upholsterers,

door to the Titterton apartment
ajar. Kruger noticed the woman'S
arm extending over the side Of the
bathtub when he glanced into the
bathroom from the living room.
He Immediately telephoned police.
The police found the woman'S
clothes strewn about her bedroom,

PLAN IS LISTED
IN SERIES OF
PROPOSALS
alternatives Offered
In Recommendations
Of Consumer Group
Copyright. 1885, By international
News Service)


A series of revolutionary pro-
poSalS to force reduction In whisky
prices, including establishment Of
o Federal liquor monopoly, today
was disclosed to have been sub
mitted to Government officials by
the NRA Consumers Division.
. Carefully guarded against publ
cation, the proposals were drafted
by Albert AbrahamSon, formerly
Of the division, following elaborate
researches by the Federal Alcohol
Control Administration and the
NRA. AbrahamSon at present Is
WPA Administrator for Maine.
Reasons for Proposal
In suggesting the Government
take over the liquor trade,
Abrahamson predicted ''it may
well happen that the whisky in
dusty will show itself poorly
adapted to conventional prac-
tices and control" He said:
"In such an event, there may
BE- . resort to direct participa-
tiOn by Government. For those
who find the complexities Of
control superimpOsed upon
private ownership too peFplex-
ing, here ls an escape"
AS alternatives to forcing down
prices, AbrahamSon proposed
Federal control Of business prac-
ticeS and advertising expenditures
by the liquor industry, crushing
tof monopolieS, simplification Of
distribution systems, encourage
ment Of consumer demand for
unadvertiSed brands Of good
quality, and lowered taxes and
tariffs.
j, Discussing revision Of the liquor
tax scale, AbrahamSon said the
demand Of the Government for
the most revenue for the least
Squawking" cannot be disregarded.
He said:
'"The tax ShOuld-if public
policy reflects the point Of view
Of the teetOtaleF be high
enough to exclude at least the
: undeFprivileged classes from the
delights and SOrrOWs Of drink;
Off temperance n the guild
ing nOte-steep enough to limit .
the masses TO moderate drink
Ing" --
FAVORS LOWER TARIFFS
Characterizing argume n is
against free imports ton Of foreign
liquor as strongly ct1apviniStic, ."
Abrahamson advocated lowering
Of tariffs to permit entry Of gen
.OrouS" whisky stocks from abroad.
he continued:
''In Canada there are 3O,OOO,.
, 900 gallons Of American type
five-year-OId whisky which cost
=; between 50 and 65 cents . gal.
Ion. II this were to enter free
Of duty, or subject to Q low
tariff, o large supply Of straight
and blended liquor would be
available and prices would be
) lowered. National pride n .
= luxury we can well afford when
again the warehouses come 70
hold abundant stocks"
Education Of consumers to
drink Nttle-known but excellent
; brands Of liquor was offered by
AbrahamSon as an immediate
and rather painless" solution to
=high prices.
