Slayer Of Hiieh.hiking
College Student Hanged

LANSING. Kas., March 10
(Friday)-R-Ernest Hoefgen,
81. confessed slayer of Bruce
Smoll, 10, hitch-hikins college
student, was hanged at Kansas
State Penitentiary today, the
first state execution in Kansas in
nearly rs years.
The trap was spring by an
anonymous, out-of-state hang
man at l:04 Am. CWT.
The condemned man, who had
eaten two hearty meals Of fried
chickens during the day, was
marched from the death house
at / am. across narrow prison
street to the warehouse which
housed the newly constructed
gallows. He apparently was fully
composed.
Chaplain T. z. Rudisill accom-
panied Hoefgen to the foot of the
gallows.
Warden r bert Hudspeth
talked briefly with Hoefgen and
asked him il he had anything to
say.
I'm sorry I couldn't give my
life for my country and that |
have to 60 out this way" Hoef-
gen replied.
Hoefgen was not on the gal
lows more than a minute.

Price Control
Menoced by
Storm Clouds

WASHINGTON. March 10
R)-Price Administrator Ches-
ter Bowles had an engagement
with members Of the Senate
Banking. committee today as
new Congressional storm clouds
rolled up against the Admins
tration's price control policies.
The OPA chief was called in
for a private talk on a proposal
by Senator Wagner (D-NY) to
extend the life of the price con-
troll act one year beyond its ex-
piration date, June 80.
Open dissatisfaction with sub
sides and OPA regulations
promised Wagner and his fellow
ADMINISTRATORS q tough fight
if they hape to get the present
law renewed without change.
Even before Bowles met with
the committee he seemed resign
ed to the probability that Con-
gressional changes would be at
tempted-"some of them very
Gripping and some of them very
damaging in his view.
A renewed attempt to outlaw
food subsidies-twice voted by
Congress and twice vetoed by
the Presidents certain to at
tend the Senate's OPA debate.
"I'll offer it "a subsidy ban)
myself if no one else does" SEN
ator Taft R-Ohio) told report
er. THE powers to subsidize in
the price control act have been
grossly abused
Although Administration sup
porters were hopeful the price
control act could get another
years life without a major over
haul, majority leader Barley
(D-Ky) said he expected a re-
newed cost-of-living row "if
anybody has a subsidy fight still
in his system-and I suppose
some do"
The Administration took a
three-months lead on the price
control deadline in starting
work on the extension proposal
today, apparently to silence Re-
publican protests that major leg
islation in the past had been
held back so as to force speedy
action without thorough consid-

Senate to Pass
On DeKeine
Appointment

LANSING, Mar. 10 up =
Senator gorge MacCallum,
Ann Arbor Republican and
President pro tempore Of the
Senate, said today he had as
surance that enough members of
the chamber would come to Lam
sing for final adjournment Of the
legislatures special session to as
sure final disposition of Gov
ernor Kelly's appointment of a
new state health commissioner.
Kelly, on the last day of
scheduled work by the legisla-
ture. submitted the name Of DR..
William DeKleine, former medi-
cal director of the American
Red Cross, to be commissioner.
The Senate business commission,
raising questions concerning the
Washington doctors qualifica-
tons, failed earlier to report the
nomination to the floor for con-
firmation, thus beclouding the
appointee's status. Outright re-
lection would have made it i'm
possible for DeKleine to take the
position.
The legislature adjourned on
February ID, to meet again on
March Is, and dispose of any
matters which might arise in the
meanwhile. Since there have
been no vetoes of its measures,
the only business left will be the
confirmation or rejection of DR..
DeKleine.
