RICHMOND, Va, November IL
Marion Scott Corr and his 24-year-old
wife today were believed by authori-
ties to have been the victims of what
j. Alfred Tyler, Charles City County
Commonwealth attorney and coroner,
described as apparent case OF murder
and suicide" The young couple was
found 10 miles from Charles City
Court House yesterday by two colored
men. They had been missing since
Sunday, November 8.
The bodies were identified at fu-
neral home here by members of the
Corr family after they had been re-
moved from a lonely saw mill road
where the shooting occurred.
Police said Vandue and Elba Char
fly. brothers, who operate store IL
miles from Charles City Court House,
found the bodies while looking over
timber about 800 yards from the main
highway.
Shot Through Chest.
The body of the man, officers said
was found seated upright in the. driv-
er's seat of an automobile. He had
been shot through the chest. Mrs
Corr's body was about 20 feet from
the car with her feet nearest the au-
tomobile. Examination after the body
had been brought here showed a bull
let wound in the top of her head.
State Trooper w. L. Groth said he
found marks on Mrs. Corr'S wrists

Officers said they were puzzled by
the position of the pistol in relation
to the two bodies. 1t was found about
three feet from the woman's out
stretched hand. Groth said it woulc

HEAVY BURDEN
IS F0RESEEN IN
SECURITY LEVY
Deficits Instead of Profits
Viewed Probable at
High Tax Rate.
Times Special

Times Special
NEW YORK, April 13.-The mod-
crate incomes reported by United
States Steel and American Ice for
last year would have been changed
to deficits if the per cent tax on
pay rolls for unemployment insur-
ance, which went into effect Jan. l,
had been levied in 1885, a Standard
Statistics survey indicated today.
The 80 large corporations on
which comparable date have been
secured, the tax, at the rate of l
per cent of pay rolls, would have
taken 1920 of every $500 of 1885
profits, the report showed.
AT the maximum rate under the
Social Security bill-6 per cent of
pay rolls beginning in 1949-more
than one dollar of each four earned
at the 1885 rate would go for I'M
employment and old-age pension
taxes. At this rate, many additional
corporations would find profits
transformed into losses, if earning
power before taxes remained at the
same rate as in 1885.
The tax burden is heaviest on
those companies whose operations
are relatively inelastic, and which
must maintain large pay rolls even
when business declines and profits
vanish. In a period of rising earn
ings, the burden can probably be
borne without difficulty by most
companies.
When earnings are declining, en-
ployers will be tempted to dis
charge employees as rapidly as pos
Sible to prevent taxes from eating
up profits. Thus the effect of the
tax may well be to increase unem-
ployment in times of depression.
Eventually, of course, the imposts
will be passed on to consumers in
the form of higher prices, with
deflationary effect on purchasing
power.

PORKERS SHOW
UNEVEN TREND
Weights From 100 Pounds
Upward Steady; Others
Unchanged.

A weak undertone ruled in the
pork market today at the local
stockyards where prices were steady
to generally cents lower than Sat-
urday's best average. The moderate
decline, however, was ljnlited largely
to weights above 100 pounds.
Light lights and slaughter pigs
continued unchanged. Weakness de-
veloped at the opening as trading
got off to a slow start when buyers
were hesitant in placing early orders,
awaiting further developments in
the market. Receipts were estimated
at 5000, and holdovers numbered
only 81.
The general bulk of 100 to 225
pounds cashed in at $10.95 to $1105.
The top price paid for choice kinds
moved down to $11.10. Medium
weights, from 225 to ESQ pounds,
sold at SLOTS to $1085, while ex-
IRENE heavies, scaling 300 pounds
and upward, brought $40 to 5000.
Light slaughter pigs, from 100 to
100 pounds, were salable at $10.25 to
$10.75. Packing sows held at 1925
to 1918.
Trading in the cattle market was
moderately active and mostly steady
with last weeks close, especially on
all slaughter classes, consisting of
medium and low grade quality.
Choice kinds were absent. Best
grades held above $975, while the
bulk ranged from $3.50 to $3.50.
Lightweight heifers brought $3.50 to
1925. Receipts we're 1000.
Vealers recovered sharply in &C
tive trading. Opening 81 lower, the
market was off only so cents at the
close. The bulk of good and choice
grades sold at SO to $40. Receipts
were TOO. Lambs were scarce with
early sales strong to higher. Few
native choice wooded skins held at
$11 down. Small lot of choice 1906

2,617,0O0 Head Killed, Compared
With 2,15S,OOO in 1885.


CHICAGO, April 13. - Hog
slaughtering at all inspected

STOCK MARKET
WEEK In REVIEW

By United Press
NEW YORK, April 13-Reduced
by the Good Friday holiday, and
caution of traders, volume on the
New York Stock Exchange this week
was the lightest of the year. The
railroad and utility averages adj
vanced sufficiently to offset small
decline in the industrial average so
that the general average made no
progress in either direction.
Business continued to make broad
gains. Steel operations set new
high mark since mid-June, 1890,
at Sc per cent in the Iron Age COM
pilation. The U. S. Steel Corpora
TONS shipments of finished steel
for March jumped 107,237 tons over
the February total despite the floods,
and set a new high except for June,
1884, since April, 1881.
General Motors Corp. reported
total sales for March at 196,721
units, new high since June, 1929.
First quarter sales of 500,167 cars
and trucks also was the best quarter
since 1929.
The Automobile Manufacturers
Association reported output of its
memberS-all the principal produ-
GERS except Ford-for March totaled
323, 160 cars and trucks, compared
with 220,581 for February and $780,
1853 for March, 1885. That was an
increase of At per cent over the
previous month and Is per cent
over year ago.
Production for the first quarter
wa 820,186 units, against 704,935 in
the corresponding period of 1885, a
gain of Is per cent. The first
quarters output has been exceeded
only in 1923 and in 1929.
Aviation Shares Drop
On the stock market, U. S. Steel
and Bethlehem made new highs
since 1881. General Motors and
Chrysler made new tops since 1929
All these issues held part of their
gains despite profit-taking.
For a time the utilities were &C
tive and strong. Some of them re-
tanned gains. Late in the week the
rails picked up. Coppers were
carried ahead on outlook for a
general rise to 91a cents a pound for
the metal. Before profit taking,
new highs were made by Anaconda
and Kennecott. Silvers had a bit
of a whirl.
Aviation issues had a setback
when a giant Douglas plane of the
Transcontinental Western fl t
crashed with loss of II lives. Douglas
dropped more than points and
Transcontinental several points.
Allied Chemical, Sears Roebuck,
Westinghouse Electric, National
Steel, and R. H. Macy were down l
to 3 points. A poorer than
anticipated showing for 1885 was re-
vealed in Macy's annual report.

INDICES SHOW
TRADE VOLUME
IMPROVEMENTS
Business Back to Pre-FIood
Levels at Start of
Second Quarter.

With the opening of the second
quarter, Business Weeks index has
rebounded to the TOPPER cent-of-
normal level, putting business VOL
ume back to where it stood in mid
February, before cold weather and
floods put a temporary crimp in
trade, the magazines current issue
reported today.
The index for last week stood at
70.1, compared with STA a week ago.
688 a month ago and 63.2 year
ago.
Steey activity is reaching new
high ground since 1890, making a
quick recovery following the flood
interruption, and coal production
has adjusted itself to more normal
weather conditions, but is stepping
up operations in response to in
dustrial demand, the report said.
Rail Tonnage Increases
Power output is running nearly
Is per cent ahead of last year.
Check transactions again topped the
000,000000 mark per week, a %
per cent increase over a year ago.
Wherever tornado, flood dust
storms, rain or freak cold spells
haven't been an obstacle, the Easter
trade has been up to expectations.
Rail tonnage alone in the first
quarter amounted to 100000 tons. a
113 per cent increase over a year
ago. In the whole of 1885, only
711,537 tons were produced Besides,
the roads have ordered 1913 freight
cars against $50 in the first quarter
of 1885, and 70 locomotives against
9 year ago.
Farm implement production con-
tinues to expand. Last year saw
the building of some 158, 460 tractors
valued at $120,809, 1888, a ia per
cent increase over the 1881 record,
the last census year in this field.
Shipyard Orders Gain
American shipyards on March 1
were building or had under contract
to build for private shipownerS 153
vessels against 142 the month be-
fore.
I'm the textile field, there has
been little to encourage brisk bust
ness outside of woolens where ex-
tensive back-logs permitted mills to
operate substantially above last
year. Even here, resistance to high
wool prices has slowed up sales in
recent weeks. High silk prices have
cut mill consumption of this fiber
20 per cent below that of 1885.
Rayon deliveries have held 10 per
cent above last years totals. Cot
ton consumption by domestic mills
ran about 6 per cent ahead of the
first quarter Of 1885, but there is talk
of curtailment unless buying shows
a decided revival"
