tional campaign to cooperate with

ment program by finding Jobs for

REID RUSSELL
BODY EXHUMED
Death Caused by Bullet Of
Same Caliber as Gun
Found in Hands

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 20. CUP
The bullet that killed handsome
young Reid Russell in front Of the
Manhattan Beach home Of Cover
neur Morris, noted novelist, was
of the same caliber as a gun
gripped in the dead mans hand.
This announcement - lending
added confusion to the strange
death case, originally filed away
as q simple suicide, and now be-
lieved a murder without mo-
tive"-was made by DR.. Frank
Webb, autopsy surgeon, who ex-
amined the slain youths body last
night.
The body was dug from its
grave on court orders, after Cap
tain Clyde Plummer, chief inves-
tigator for the district attorneys
Office, said he had treason to be-
lieve the gun found with young
Russells body was not the weap-
on used to kill him."
The slug which killed Russell
has not been found, but a police
ballistics expert said the gun ly-
ing beside the body had not been
fired for q year.
Acting on this information
and the fact that neither the bui,
let that killed him nor the shell
from which it was fired were
found-Plummer went into Judge
Thomas L. Ambose's court yester-
day and secured an order to dig
up the body. y.
Plummer's action followed dis
closure of a possible murder mo.
nuzzling case since police re-
opened the Investigation at insti-

REALTORS MOVE TO PREVENT
UNTOLD WASTE In UNSOUND
VALUES; WANT TAX REFORMS
Schmidt, Cincinnati, Says
"Cities Rotting at Cores"
City Planning Held "Col-
lossal Failure"

NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 90
(UP).-Creation of a national
real estate foundation benefited
by government research to save
home owners from untold waste"
in unSound realty values, and re-
forms i'm taxation were unani-
mouSly adopted by the National
Realtors convention here yester-
day.
Walter s. Schmidt, Cincinnati,
described 1.-The major segment of
our national wealth, real estate"
as an unknown quantity, a hodge
pOdge of values, "our cities rot
ting at the core" and city plan
ming a Colossal failure"
1.-THE physical status of real es-
tate in our cities and towns is not
known" Schmidt said. at is time
this nation sets about to study
these problems, finds ways to ar
rest blight, and to conserve val
ues for the home owner who has
invested his savings in home"
He pointed out that the govern
ment has spent billions in promot-
ing geological and agricultural IA
cilities, and added:
"Just so in connection with ur-
ban real estate (the government)
has a very distinct place for help
fulness to private enterprise, help
fulness to communities in ques-
tons of planning, and helpfulness
to citizens more directly by re-
search into construction, materials
and methods.
REFORM is IN LINE WITH
FEDERAL ACTIONS
"To accomplish these results"
Schmidt warned, sit need not IN
any measure enter into competi-
ton with the owners Of realty or
those engaged in improving, SELL
ing or renting it. | make these
observations because the govern
ment has openly shown it's desire
to be helpful in lettering housing
and other real estate conditions"
As chairman of a committee
Schmidt presented long-range
planning program for a board OF
% members, only IL of whom
would be realtors. The realtor
membership will be completed by
directors in January, but mean
while seven members were named
for the interim:
Charles G. Edwards, New York
City; William May Garland. Los
Angeles; J. C. Nichols, Kansas
City; Maurice F. Reidy, Worces-
ter. Mass; Walter S. Schmidt,
Cincinnati: Alfred F. Wagg, Palm
Beach, and Kenneth c. Rice, CHI
cago.
The taxation committee pro-
posed a nationwide system OF
revenue Chased on capital value
established solely through war
ranted annual productivity, in
come or utility Of real estate
The customary, so-called al
valorem tax is a misnomer and IN
reality an excise tax, the commit
tee said. 1t proposed tax laws in
all states should be rewritten with
a limit on total taxes on real es-
tate. The report was given by
Ivan Thorson, Los Angeles.

Mr.. Chewing denied knowing
the girls correct age and said he
believed her when she told him
she was Is. He was represented
by Attorney Michael Keogh.
Judge Bentley also fined Edwin
Burke, producer and manager of

Frances Palermo, 16, of the 400
block Ninth st. N. W., and Grace
Maxine Stevenin, Is, of the 200

they were Is. The Stevenin girl
testified her mother was with her
and that she, too, told Mr.. Burke
her daughter was 10. The mother
corroborated her story.
Burke, in pleading guilty, asked
the court to suspend sentence, but
Judge Bentley ruled that as liquor
was sold on the premises, she was
forced to fine him $25.
