RE0RGANIzING
BILL REGARDED
AS SNAGGED
Presidents Other Pet,
Court Plan, Stirs
Hope Of Aides
BY EARL GOODWIN

AS the Presidents inside circle
of associates shows elation over
optimistic prospects for rapid
passage of the Presidents SUI
preme Court bill, they also balance
that aspect with what appears to
be increasing peSsimism over the
reorganization of the Government
set-up as recommended by the
Presidents Committee on Admin
istrative Management.
These are the Presidents two
pets. He does not call them
must" measures, for he has long
ago instructed all and Sundry that
he does not use the word must"
rather does he speak of these
sacred objectives as should legls-
lation."
The Supreme Court bill Is just
as good as enacted. if the Admin.
istration chiefs are correct in
their analysis. The reorganizae
ton bill is as good as dead-or at
least manned beyond recognition
if these same chiefs pessimism
is any indication at ALL.
Reflects Optimism
Chairman Brownlow, Of the
committee which framed the re.
port, is one who reflects nothing
but a well restrained optimism,
But aside from Mr.. Brownlow.
there are few in the upper circles
who feel at all we'll about the
chances of this session of Con.
gress enacting the bill or bills for
the complete turnover required
for the new government set-up.
This, it will be recalled, eStab.
fishes two new departments
places all commissions under the
departments for purposes Of
management and budget, and
does away with the office Of
comptroller general.
There has been considerable talk
Of taking the controller general
item out of the Brownlow report: !:
many members of Congress have
criticized that recommendation Of
the report which has the Presi-
dents strongest approval.
Effective Check
Those members who do not like
to accept the Presidents recon-.
mendation say that the controller
general represents Congress and is
the most effective check on ex.
penses. The Administrators view
is that the controller generals of.
flee has resulted in delay, arbitrary
decisions, and no general saving.
However, it is understood that the
Administration would be glad to
trade a little on that point if neces-
sary.

VICTIM SEIZED
IND0WNT0WN
KALAMAZOO
Forced to Drive Captor
135 Miles to Chicago
Before Release

CHICAGO, April "a Q.N.SJ .
Police renewed their hunt today
for Robert Irwin, young sculptor
sought for the triple Easter morn
ing murders in New York, follow
ing the kidnapping Of a Kalamazoo
(Mich.) girl who was forced to
drive her ragged, unshaven captor
here at the point Of knife.
Released on q southwest side
street when her abductor stepped
from her automobile, Miss Jose,
phine Howe, "a, told police the
story of her terrifying 135-mile
ride. Shown pictures Of Irwin.
Miss Howe said he reselnbled the
abductor. Her description of the
mans build indicated he might
have been the neurotic sculptor.
The desperate weighed about 1876
pounds and one eye seemed
crossed, she said.
Seized In Kalamazoo
Miss Howe, department manager
for the Kalamazoo Utility Com
pany, was seized yesterday in
downtown Kalamazoo, 20 miles
from where Irwin last was def
nitely reported in the Middle West.
Driving a company car she had
stopped for a traffic light when
the unkempt abductor slid into the
seat beside her and pressed a knife
to her ribs. She quoted the man
as saying:
Go straight ahead, and say
nothing. Don't try any funny
stuff, or I'll finish yOu."
He directed her course through
Kalamazoo to a main highway
leading to Chicago, where he
forced her to drive at break-neck
speed. He threatened:
II want to get out of Michigan
and you'll have to drive me to
Chicago"
URGED HIGHER SPEED
Once on the highway Miss Howe
was urged to higher speeds. At
one time they were going 80 miles
an hour, she said.
Her passenger kept his left arm
around her and his hand on the
door lock to keep her from leaping
out. With the other hand he
held the knife at Miss Howe's side.
At her plea to slow down, the abb
ductor said:
81 don't care. l might as well
die this way as any other. The
Government is sure to catch up
with me sooner or later"
ROBBED HER OF $40
When they neared Paw Paw,
Miss Howe related, the man said
he recently had left the State
prison at Jackson. From her
purse he took $40. He also took
her engagement ring, but returned
it later.
Entering Chicago from the
south, the kidnaper directed the
young woman to drive on side
streets. At Western Avenue and
Eighty-fourth Street he jumped
out with curt thanks"
After telling police her story
Miss Howe stayed with a sister in
suburban haywood over night.

were sensational and drew the

did the Giants. The local team,

Billy Richardson Plays
Game Too Hard---PixLee
HAGERTY LIKES
FORM OF HOYAS
IN SCRIMMAGE
BY FRANK BUCK" oNEILL

By FRANK BUN ONEALL
Jim Pixlee has just about de.
cided that little Billy Richardson,
former ace of Central High
Schools football forces, needs pro-
lection against himself. Here is
this little elf, who weighs all OF
p 155 pounds sopping wet, trying to
tear down the giants OF the
George Washington football team.
He is charging into them as if
they were hghtweights, and Pixlee
will tell you as he has told little
Billy, it is just bad business.
Richardson is on the side lines
down at Camp Let's with a
strained ankle. He will be out Of
action for week or longer, and
this is his third injury OF the
year. He cracked a leg last year,
banged his shoulders up last
spring, and now his ankle is hurt.
"Bill hasn't learned how to
protect himself" Pixlee said to-
day. 1.-THE kid plays with a lot
of fire, and he barges into these
2l5 pound linemen as if he in
e. tended to take them apart.
It's fine spirit, but the judg-
ment is not so good"
. HOGG MAKES BID
Elmer Hogg is making a great
bid for the full back position, and
is ripping the lines of which ever
team he opposes to bits. Some
times Elmer is on A squad and
sometimes on B squad. But he
gets those five yards regardless.
Dutch Bergman came away
from Griffith Stadium last night
with a book full of notes on the
Redskins and their play. Dutch
thinks that the way to hamper
Baugh, even if he can't be stopped,
is to crash the ends and tackles
in and hustle him on every play.
Bergman was impressed with
one of Baugh's punts; that one
from behind his own goal line.
Indeed, Bergman has spent much
time this season with the punters
out at Catholic University, and
has gotten some fine results. Joe
Guyon, the Indian lad, although
:. handicapped by illness and in
juries, has shown fine form in
punting. Guyon has been cutting
the outside lines fine with his
drives, and the enemy can't run
back the ball when they can't
catch it.
HAGERTY LOOKS GOOD
Jack Hagerty was in festive
mood yesterday. He actually ad-
mitted that the Georgetown team
looked good against William and
Mary, and gave the squad the
morning to rest. But in the after
noon the lads tackled the soldiers
of Fortress Monroe in a two-hour
drill.
Barabas, Keegin, Heating and
Nolan were outstanding in their
forward passing, with Nee, Cava-
olne and snyder doing some fine
receiving.
The soldiers were willing and
plucky, but they we're outclassed
by the college lads. Hagerty is
considering another morning off
for the boys, but the probabilities
are that they will put in a full
double session.
University Of Florida, which
plays one of the feature games on
the Maryland schedule this fall,
is working overtime for its open
ing game with the Tigers of the
. Bayous, otherwise Louisiana State
, University. The Gators are pin
ming their hopes on Tiger" May
berry, who is said to be 1T pounds
of deception and dynamite. Now
if that doesn't scare everybody to
death, the Florida boys will dig
up something new.
