Did you ever awake terror-stricken
from a nightmare just as hideous
hands were reaching out to seize
you? Has your dream-self strug-
gled to escape while your legs, hea-
Wy as lead, held you back?
What do these terrifying dreams
mean? Psychologists say they are
clues to personality that the
dreamer is secretly afraid Of bodily
harm.
1t may be you are planning a
trip and you secretly dread the haz-
ards Of the road.
In another common nightmare,
the dreamer engages ferocious wild
animals in deadly combat. This
may signify that his higher nature
is struggling to conquer his baser
instincts and desires.
Have you ever dreamed you were

WEAVER MURDER
THEORY ADVANCED
Baltimore Doctor Casts
Doubt on Story D. C..
Auditor Killed Self.

Evidence that John A. Weaver. 81,
General Accounting Office auditor, who
was found shot to death on the out
skirts of Baltimore late yesterday. may
have been murdered was reported to-
day by DR.. Howard Maldeis Baltimore
post mortem physician.
Doubt was cast on the police theory
that Mr.. Weaver killed himself when
DR.. Maldeis reported he found in addi-
ton to pistol wound through the roof
of the mouth, what appeared to be a
second bullet wound in back of the
head.
These further suspicious circum-
stances were reported by the physician:
A small laceration on the throat.
A long blond hair held in the fingers.
Mr.. Weaver's hair was gray.
Inquest Is Postponed.
When this new evidence was re-
ported, Coroner Paul Schenker ordered
an inquest scheduled for today post
poned until tomorrow. Meanwhile, an
exhaustive autopsy will be performed.
Police planned to check Mr..
Weaver's movements after he left his
home at 2200 Nineteenth street NV,
early yesterday.
DR.. Maldeis said his superficial
examination had shown sufficient
possibility Of murder to justify 4
thorough investigation.
Mr.. Weaver's body was found tn
Herring Run Park. A pistol, which
lay between his legs, had been fired
twice and . third cartridge had been
struck by the firing pin, but not ex-
ploded. Fifteen cartridges were found
in the dead mans pocket.
Second Bullet Missing.
The second bullet fired from the
gun could not be found, and this cir
cumstance puzzled police. They the
orized, however, that the gun might
have misfired the first time, and Mr..
Weaver fired a shot in the air to test
the weapon before sending the bullet
INTO the roof of his mouth.
Mr.. Weaver's widow said he left
home early in the morning without
saying where he was going. He had
applied for leave from the General
Accounting Office, it was learned

Tentative Identification, established
by letters, was made certain when

Mrs. Weaver went to Baltimore
today. A 6-year-old daughter also
survives. Mr.. Weaver had been en-
ployed at the General Accounting
Ofic since last October. He previously
had been employed in . Washington

SECURITY COSTS
EXCEEDING TAXES
Benefits Paid Are More Than
$294,6 900 Over
Income.

The Treasury revealed today that

ment programs cost, up to January /,
e294, ,681 ,343 more than the income
from the taxes imposed to finance
them
The total expenditures were given as
$960,9 ,975.659 and receipts. $500, ,294, ,3l6
An official Treasury statement-the
first Of a monthly series on these new
Federal undertakings - emphasized,
however. that such condition was
not to be considered permanent.
Social security taxes, the statement
said, were designed primarily to build
up q reserve for old-age pension bene-
fits. whereas in the initial stages they
have been applied widely to other uses,
chiefly grants to States to aid in get
ting their security programs started.
Such grants accounted for about half
the reported expenditures.
Jobless Insurance Starts.
While several phases of social secur-
ity, including old age assistance. aid
to dependent children, various health
services and aid to the blind, were
started before the first of the year,
one of the biggist-unemployment in
surance-did not become generally
operative until that time
The Labor Department reported that
1,152,000 persons in 81 States and the
District Of Columbia filed claims for
such insurance during the first week
The total included 1857 claims in
Wisconsin which had begun its pay
ments earlier
The Treasury statement gave this
breakdown of income from social Sc
curity and rail retirement taxes:
Old-age taxes, $516, $3.50, ,59125: un-
employment, s80,649, ,267.s6; railroad
retirement, s68,66l ,556.14; unclassi-
fled, $2.9o070.
How Money Was Spent.
Here is how the money was spent:
Administrative, $28, ,436, ,410.41; grants
to States, 1926, ,537, ,s05. .s8; investments
for old-age reserves and railroad re-
tirement account, s606, 900; un-
classified, $1,44282.
The grants to States included: Old
age assistance, s236,617 7,9O0.58; aid to
dependent children, $28,697, ,981 10;
aid to the blind. $8,429 ,8O4.34; for ad-
ministration of State unemployment

693.94; child welfare services, s1.795.-
1897; public health. $14.600,9l2l6.
Social Security officials estimated
that about one-fourth of unemploy-
ment insurance claims were not valid
for various reasons set forth by the
laws. A majority Of those filing had
been employed until the last quarter
Of 1897.
Work Applications Grow.
II also was reported by the depart
ment that work applications filed with
the United States Employment Service
IN December totaled 452,035, the
highest number since December; 1895.
The service had 4,S74,s2 persons on
its rolls last December 81.
In another branch of social security,
the old-age division reported the pay
ment Of $l,277,516 to 53,237 claimants
during the first years operation.
The payments, averaging $24. went
to wage earners who had reached the
age OF IS and to the estates or relatives
OF those who had died.
