BIudgeoned Woman, I'M

Hair of Murderer.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, January 12-Blood-
soaked strand of hair. torn from the
scalp of her slayer, was the lone clue
today in the brutal "bathtub murder"
of Mrs. Mary Robinson Case, 25-year-
old model and bride of a year. whose
bludgeoned body was found in a tub

hammer.

was found clutched in the pretty bru-

laboratory for examination.
Wedding Ring Stolen.
At the same time, Deputy Chief In
spector John J. Ryan broadcast a de-
scription of a platinum wedding ring,
engraved IF. w. C. to NJ. H. r." which
had been wrenched from Mrs. Cases
finger by the murderer.
Theft of the ring and SIS from Mrs.
Cases handbag, satisfied police that
robbery was the ostensible motive for
the crime.
Water dripping from the tub gave
the first intimation of the crime to
tenants below and the apartment

The Civil Service Commission is to-
be abolished and a Civil Service Ad-
ministrator is to be appointed in its
place, directly under the President.
An advisory board Of seven members,
to serve without salaries, is to be
appointed to check up on the civil
service, meeting probably four times
q year.
What probably will be considered
more revolutionary than any other
part of the Presidents plan for re-
organization is the proposal to take
such independent" agencies of the
Government as the Interstate Com
merce Commission, the Federal Trade
Commission and the Federal Power
Commission and place them under
department heads.
1t is explained, however, that this
IS to be done merely for better man.
agement. better housekeeping.
These agencies will retain and con-
tinue to exercise their quasi judicial
functions When it comes to seeking
appropriations and additional en-
ployes, those are matters that will be
dealt with through the department
heads, who will also have charge of
the purely administrative features of
these agencies.
Appropriation Estimates.
In support of this plan to have the
appropriations for these agencies
with judicial functions estimated for
by department heads, it is pointed
out that all the estimates of appro-
priation for the judicial branch of
the Government, including the ST.
preme Court, are now submitted to
the Bureau of the Budget through the
Attorney General
The Bureau of the Budget is to be
strengthened and a planning board,
which will deal principally with public
works, is to be set up. These will
also both come directly under the
President.
The General Accounting Office,
with controller general at its head,
is to be abolished. In its stead is to
be appointed an auditor general. This
auditor general is to be a creation
OF Congress and directly responsible
to the Congress. He will make true
post-audit. of financial transactions
and report to Congress. He Is to report
especially on illegal and wasteful ex-
penditures, If he finds them. He is
