The garage was lighted by one

oil stains, and the air was strong of

was braced upright against the
rough cement wall. He was blond

cruel things to his face. He opened
his eyes as the inspector spoke to

Conferees on the District tax bill
resumed discussions at 2 pm. TODAY
after holding morning session in
which they failed to reach an agree
ment on their widely different plans
for meeting the city's deficit.
Although they declined to discuss
the trend Of negotiations. it was still
reliably reported that efforts were being
directed toward a compromise on
modified business privilege tax and an
increase in the real estate rate to take
the place of the Senate income and
land taxes.
One suggestion understood to be un-
der consideration is that the rate on
real estate and tangible property be
fixed at sl,75 per hundred instead OF
the Senate proposal to boost the rate
on land from $3.50 to $3.50. with the
rate on buildings kept at 81 so.
Chairman King insisted after the
noon recess that the conferees are
still exploring the entire field of tax
proposals in the bill and that no
agreement has been reached.
Business Privilege Levy.
In an effort to make the business
privilege levy on gross receipts less
burdensome, conferees were reported
to be considering rate of two-ffths
OF l per cent. instead of three -ffths
as originally adopted by the House.

than the 81 900 figure in the House
measure

BY WILL p. KENNEDY

reorganization legislation has been
definitely set aside for this session Of
Congress, with an assurance that the
Presidents omnibus reorganization bill
will be made special business to be
taken up in the Senate Immediately
after Congress reassembles in Janu-
airy.
This was one Of the important de-
cisions yesterday at the White House
conference of Senate and House lead
ers and was confirmed today by admin
istration spokesmen at both ends Of
the Capitol.
Senate members Of the Joint Reor-
ganzation Committee today arranged
for hearings on the omnibus reorgan-
liza ton bill to start Monday and con-
tlnue for 10 days unless Congress
should adjourn within that period
Further hearings will be held if re-
Quested by members of the committee.
The first witnesses to be called will
probably be members of the President S
Advisory Committee.
This announcement was made by
Senator Byrnes, Democrat, South
Carolina, who was today elected chair
man Of the Senate group to succeed
the late Senate leader Robinson.
Both Senator Byrnes and Senate
Leader Barkley said the hearings are
being held in fulfllment of a pledge
made by the late Senator Robinson
On the House side plans are going
forward to have the second of the
four bills covering the administration
program reported as early as possible
probably next Monday, with the hope
that it will be passed this session
This is the bill to create a new post
of auditor general. 1t is not contem-
plated that either of the other two bills
will be repored this session.
The House bill authorizing the Presi-
dent to appoint six additional admin
Ltrative assistants at $4,000 each,
which passed the House several days
ago, will not be taken up in the Sem
ate at this session, leaders say. because
strategists feel passage at this session
would indicate weakening of the ad-
determination to put
throug the complete reorganization
program.

NEW YORK, July 29.-Arrest of
suspect in the "clueleSs murder" of
1rma Louise Prader, 35-year-old
French maid was reported imminent
today as police delved into the con-
tents of trunk owned by the slain
woman in an attempt to learn the
identity OF the killer.
Despite denials by high police off,
Gals, the suspect was reported to be
a member Of the New York mounted

last words of the petite victim that
she was going to marry a police
man"
The dead woman's trunk, inter-
cepted by telegraph en- route to Los
Angeles. was returned to police here
early today. Authorities were re-
luctant TO discuss whether a search
disclosed any letters, photographs or
other information as to the identity
OF the man suspected of pumping
two .38-caliber revolver bullets into
her body and then throwing it onto
the Harlem River speedway.
Miss Prader, employed at the Mount
Snal Hospital, disappeared July 10.
