CHICAGO. Jan. 15.-An automo-
bile left in service station on jan

of Suzanne Degnan, 6, became clue
today in the investigation of the
crime.
Detectives said they found stains
which might be blood stains, on the

been cleaned recently and an oily
piece of paper similar to paper or
which the kidnaper wrote a $4,000

amined at the police crime detection
laboratory.
A woman left the car in the station
at 6751 Fullerton avenue, on the far
West Side, for ignition repairs. She
was driven away by a man in an
other car.

Committee Urges
Truman Restore
Newsprinf Quotes

New York (FP)-Fresident Tru-
man was urged to restore news
print to the critical control item
group, along with rent, sugar and
rice, in wire Nov. 20 from the
Newsprint Consumers Emergency
Committee, representing SIN Ii
newspapers threatened with ex-
tinction by the newsprint shortage
and increasing prices.
"Removal of price ceilings and
wartime controls over newsprint
paper threatens the continued ex-
istence of the nations traditional
free press" the wire said.
Thousands of community, fra
ternal foreign language, labor,
trade, religious, veterans and spe-
cialized daily and weekly newspap-
ers throughout the country face
suspension Jan. / unless they can
secure an adequate supply of news
print, and at reasonable price.
Immediate action by you is nee
essary if this most precious of our
four freedoms-the freedom of the
press-is to be preserved. The
Newsprint Consumers Emergency
Committee, representing many of
the doomed publications, urges you
to restore the quota system and
price controls to assure the contin
ued existance of the thousands of
affected periodicals.
The request for Truman to re-
store newsprint quotas and price
controls was the first action Of the
newly organized committee. The
NCEC is mobilizing the affected
publishers throughout the nation
not already represented on the
committee to help seek immediate
relief through Presidential action,
as well as by placing the problem
before congressional committees
such as the Senate small business
committee, Senate education and
labor committee and the House
education and labor committee.
Chairman of the NCEC's execu-
tive committee is Marty Berb,
editor and publisher of Sports
week. Serving with him are: vice
Sidney A. Lavine, vice

tary, Victor Levitt, secretary
treasurer, Trade Union Service;
and treasurer, Father Clarence

Tax War Profits
Says Sen. Taylor

Washington (FP)-War profit
eers should bear most of the post
war tax load, Senator Glen Taylor
~d here Nov. 20 as he argued for
7 reduction for low and middle
income groups.
A 20 per cent across-the- board
income tax reduction as suggested
by Representative Harold Knut-
son "would give millions to the
millionaires and pennies to the
poor" according to Taylor.
"For example," he said, "a mar
ried man with two children who
makes $4,000 year would have
his taxes cut by $27.4O a year. An
individual with a million dollar in
come would have his taxes cut
$167,683.55. This will give little
or no help to the little man, but it
gives a great bonus to the man
whose bank accounts are swollen
with war profits.
Congress has already given a
tax rebate to the rich through the
repeal of the excess profits tax.
1t would be grossly unfair to be-
stow an additional gift upon them,
at the expense of wage and salary
earners."
Taylor said there is an urgent
need for tax reduction for the
large majority of the population,
"but proposals by the Republican
party and its spiritual advisor, the
U. S. Chamber of Commerce, offer
little real hope of tax reduction
for the family in the lower income
brackets"
The progressive Idaho senator
ocated the principle of taxation
accordance with ability to pay,
and proposed raising the exemp-
tion level to about $4,000 for a
family of four.

But he was proud Of his own
brains, he said, and the ability that
brought him out of the mines and
into the super's office. He confided
that "most of these fellows are
pretty shiftless. You know, live
from hand to mouth and whenever
they have any money they blow it
on something fancy"
Would the company give store

ment, he told me in a confidential
manner, might help the miners see

"Why, we carried these men all
through the last depression" he
said expansively. "The company
built these houses for the men
when the mine was started, we put
up store for them, laid the pipes
and everything" The mine, he said
proudly, was the second oldest in
the county, started in 1907. The

every bit of that.

Typos Strike

Rochester, N. Y. (FP)-A strike
on five Frank E. Gannett papers
throughout New York state is
shaping up in support of locked
out printers on Gannett's Roches-
ter Times-Union and Democrat
Chronicle.
Unanimous votes by some 700
printers on Utica, Ithaca, New
burgh, Saratoga Springs and Bing-
hamton Gannett papers favored a
strike although no date has yet
been set. julius Loos, head of the
Rochester local of the Information
al Typographical Union, announc-
ed here.
Publication of the two Gannett
papers has been halted since Nov.
8 over a dispute on bonus provi-
sions and other clauses for a new
contract. The union is asking $50
for a 37H H-hour week on the day
shift and $S8 for the night shift.
The company has offered STA for
the day shift, $40 for the night
shift and has also demanded that
the union waive its profit-sharing
system.
The Gannett Co. has been balked
in all its efforts to break through
the union encirclement. It's plans
for putting out an engraved issue
fell through when union photo
engravers voted not to handle
typographers work.
The printers threw their first
picketline around the Times-Union
building when it was rumored the
company was preparing to run off
boiler plate issue. Other crafts,
including members of the Ameri-
can Newspaper Guild, immediate
ly refused to cross the line and no
paper came out. The Central
Trades & Labor Council also voted
full support.
Only reading matter Rochester
citizens get is the Sun, a weekly
local shopping guide which has
gone to twice week to help feed
some of the 225,000 hungry
people formerly served by the
Gannett dailies.

A Whitney Story About
Truman And A Statue

Atlantic City, N. J. (FP)-In
one Of the sharpest attacks yet
registered by a labor leader
against President Truman,
President A. F. Whitney of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men tells the mythical story of
a committee in Washington that
was seeking site for a statue
of Truman.
"They decided not to place it
beside one of George Washing
ton," Whitney said, because
Washington never told lie.
They decided not to put it be-
side Franklin ID. Roosevelt be-
cause he kept his word.
''They finally decided to place
it next to Columbus-because
Columbus didn't know where he
was going, didn't know where
ne was when he got there, and
didn't know where he had been
when he got back. And he did
it all on borrowed money"
