Launch Hunt
for rManiac Who
SIew Ex-Wdue

The brutal murder Of tiny. come
ly Frances Brown, 80 year old
stenographer and former WAVE,
by . man police described ~ .
maniac, was under investiga-
tion by Chicago's top detectives
today.
"Whoever the killer was, he's
q maniac, and we must get him"
said Capt. Frank Reynolds as
police intensified their search to
solve the latest In q series Of
slayinss in Chicago in the last
week. PolicE reports disclose
nine persons were slain in the
last week. Three of the deaths
have not been solved.
VICIOUS ATTACK
Miss Brown, discharged from
the WAVES last September AZ
ter three years Of service, was
killed some time Monday morn
ing in her apartment at the Pine
Crest hotel. in the North side
Lakeview district. The slayer
twice shot and twice plunged
an eight-inch bread knife into
the throat of the 95 pound, five
foot. one inch Miss Brown and
then left her nude body hang
ing over a bathtub in her blood
spattered apartment. A hotel
maid found her body.
The killer, before leaving,
wrote a message on the wall in
lipstick in large, uneven letters.
it read: "For heavens sake catch
mo before / kill more ! cannot
control myself"
Criminologists studied the
writing in efforts to obtain
clews. The letters were three
to six inches high and the high.
est sentence was about six feet
from the floor.
SEEK MOTIVE
Capt. Reynolds theorized the
slayer was prompted by sex de-
sire and surprised Miss Brown in
her room. Another theory was
that the killer was 4 thief. The
victims room was ransackcd
and her purse emptied. The
slayer gained entry from a fire
escape.
Miss Brown was alone. Her
roommate, Miss Viola Butler,
80, a stenographer employed at
the same company with Miss
Brown, had been away over the
weekend.
A medical examination dis
closed that Miss Brown, who
first came to Chicago In 1884
from her home in Richmond,
Ind, to work as a stenographer,
had not been criminally as.
saulted. An autopsy report said
q bullet wound in the head caus.
ed her death.
REPORT STRANGER
Several suspects were ques-
toned and Capt. Reynolds said
q stranger" seen leaving the
Pine Crest hotel early Monday
morning was being hunted.
Three of the nine slayings in
the last week still unsolved are
the deaths of Richard Johnson,
66, found slain in his small cut
tage; John Kowalski, 80, assas-
sinated in gangland fashion by
two men with sawed-off shot
guns as he repaired a juke box
in q west side tavern, and Harry

Tariff Issue Contest Seen

Washington, April -(UP)-A prominent House Republican today predicted that Congress would turn down the administrations request for power to reduce tariffs further.
 The prediction came from Rep. Harold Knutson of Minnesota, ranking COP member of the House Ways and Means committee. The committee is holding hearings on a bill to extend the reciprocal trade agreements act another three years. A clause in the bill would permit ci.ts up to 50 per cent in present tariff rates.
 It was apparent that close con- test was shaping up over the tariff issue.
 Knutson told reporters he ex- pected three Democrats to join the committees 10 Republicans in vot- ing against the tariff-cutting clause. The loss of three votes would cost the administration its majority on the committee. Knut- son did not identify the three.
 While DemocratiL sentiment seemed not yet crystalized, some of the ranking Democrats on the committee were more confident after yesterdays hearing that the legislation would be approved.
 Knutson said there was no pos sibility of compromise on the new tariff-cutting authority proposed in the pending bill, sponsored by Committee Chairman Robert L. Doughton, D., N. 0. Hs admitted there was not sufficient opposition to block a simple extension of the reciprocal trade agreement act.
