Poll Sought on Renting
Versus 0wninq Homes

The directors of the United States
Savings and Loan League yesterday
called on the Bureau of Census to
find out whether the typical Ameri-
can family prefers to own or rent a
home
Meeting at the Hotel Statler, the
group resolved that those promot-
ing rental over owner occupied
housing in new construction activity
stick to the facts and quit trying to
make the impression that it is
cheaper or better to rent than to
own home"
The resolution, carried unanim-
ously by savings and loan executives
from three -fourths of the states, as
serted that veterans buying homes
today make smaller monthly pay
ments to own their homes than the
monthly rental costs in buildings
built this year.
The Bureau of Census was re-
quested in the resolution ''to gather
and report fairly" whether families
wish to purchase a home or to
rent . ="

Los Angeles Woman
Assaulted and Slain
BY the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES, May 3.-The
nude, mutilated body of Mrs. Doro-
thy Montgomery, 36, was found to-
day under pepper tree in vacant
lot near her home. Police said she
had been raped and strangled.
The woman left home last night
to meet her 15-year-old daughter,
Maycille, at a playground on Slausen
boulevard. She did not keep her
appointment and did not return
home last night.
Mrs. Montgomery's clothes had
been ripped from her body and her
head was crushed. Her blood
stained automobile was found near
the playground today by Maycille
and another daughter, Mrs. Roselle
Jones, 18.
The woman's husband, Thomas F.
Montgomery, As, reported her miss
ing last night.
James Kennedy, who lives near
the playground, told authorities he
saw a middle-aged man step from
the Montgomery automobile about
1880 O'Clock last night and walk
away.
Officers believe Mrs. Montgomery,
an attractive woman, was accosted
as she waited near the playground
for her daughter, forced into an
other automobile, driven to the va
cant lot and attacked and slain.
The method of the murder was
similar in some respects to that of
Elizabeth Short, %, known as the
BLACK Dahlia," whose nude, mu-
tilated body was found in vacant
lot January Is.
This was the fourth sex murder
here this year. The killers of Jeanne
AFFORD French and Evelyn Winters
have not been apprehended.

lDolleriy Joins Fight
10 Win Pay Raises
For Federal Workers
By Joseph Youno

The campaign to win pay raises
for Federal workers to Offset rising
prices gained momentum last night
as William c. Doherty, president OF
the AFL National Association of
Letter Carriers, charged that big
business has broken faith with the
working people and the Govern
ment."
MIR. Doherty, who represents more
than rs, 900 mail carriers throughout
the country, asserted that "the time
has come when Government EN-
ployes should receive the relief they
need SO badly from rising prices. "
He charged that industry had
failed ito live up to its promise that
prices would go down a short while
after OPA controls were lifted" In
stead, Mr.. Doherty added, prices are
going up "and the end isn't in sight.
Can't Hold on Amy Longer.
Government employees took big
business at its word and during the
first five months of this new Con-
gress We haven't asked for any pay
boost" Mr.. Doherty continued. "Bus
now we find that we can't hold of
any longer. We are going to wage as
determined a. fight that we know
how to win wage increases.
MIR. Doherty's organization as well
as the AFL American Federation OF
Government Employees, and other
AFL craft unions containing Federal
workers, are seeking temporary
$3.50 annual raise until prices &c
down considerably.
Tomorrow. AFL officials will meet
with the various Republican men,
bers OF the House Civil Service
Committee, and will try to induce
several of the Republicans to intro
duce Federal pay raise bill along
these lines. Five Democratic mem
bers have introduced Government
wage raise bills within the past few
days, but union leaders feel that
Republican sponsorship would aid
the legislation's chances. Also n
the fight for higher wages is the
CIO United Public Workers OF
America, which is asking for a $500
annual pay boost. UPWA officials
also plan to buttonhole members Of
Congress this week to gain support
for the bill.
Union officials concede the
chances are slim that this economy

Britain Acts To
 Avert Impending Economic Crisis

LONDON, (P) - Sir Stafford Cripps, president of the board of trade, announced today new cuts in Britain's armed forces and a slash in permitted capital invest ments as crisis measures to help slave off economic collapse.
 The labor minister urged an inn mediate one-third increase in ex- ports, and said capital invest ments would have to be cut dras- tically to make the increase pos Sible. He said the labor govern ment would use compulSion, if necessary, with all industry and labor to achieve production tar gets.
 Though we might be able to get further temporary assistance from the United States of America under the Marshall plan or some other way, we cannot count upon this" Sir Stafford told 2,000 in- dustrialists and unionists.
 "We do not wish or intend to be tied by economic strings to the political policies of other coun- tries, however friendly they may be-"

SPORTS
 ROUNDUP
tBY Hugh Fullerton. Jr.)

NEW YORK, (P)-Bucky Har- ris contends that Joe Page, the Yankees reliable relief pitcher, should get credit for twice as many victories as the fl already in the records. BuCky'S theory is that Joe, who had made 5l ap- pearances up to yesterday, had saved an additional 14 games without being listed as winning pitcher. This discussion brings out one important baseball fact that few, if any, clubs in recent years have been able to win a title without having an able game saver. The first Yankee pen nant winners in 1921 and 1923 did not have any real standouts, though Jack Quinn and Sam Jones must have saved a lot of games to judge by their records. .. Then in 1926 Garland Braxton 1lnlSned Zo games ana the next year Wiley Moore came along to become the first of the celebrated Yankee relieverS. Wiley, who Ed Barrow picked right out of the record book, appeared in 50 games that year, won 19 and lost seven and there's no telling how many other games he saved. In the mid dle l930's Johnny Murphy took over the fireman role and the Tanks won three pennants in row.
 Johnny stuck around for the l94l world series and milkman Jim Turner took the job in 1922. Now it's Page, and all relief fling ing records seem about to fall.

Great Issue Is Free People Vs. TOtali- tarians' Says Taft

SANTA CRUZ, Calf. (P)-Sen- ator Taft, Republican of Ohio, opening a western prospecting trip for the Republican Presiden- tial nomination, declared today this country is not going to enter a world state that envisions con- centration of all power in a dis tant capital.
 The Ohio Senator, who said he will not decide until he returns home after his far western swing whether he will be a candidate, told the State Bar of California the New Deal had tried to "get rid" of states rights so it could concentrate all power in Washing ton"
 'In my view" he said in an ad- dress prepared for delivery in a panel discussion at the lawyers meeting, "the great issue today is that of a free people against to- talitarian state"
 Nothing, the tall Ohio Senator said, could limit freedom further in the United States than the abo- lition of states rights, adding "who is going to enter a world state if history shows that the federal plan is only passing phase to the concentration of all power in a distant capitol?"
 Taft, considered one of the lead ing contenders for the COP Pres idential nomination at next years party convention, appeared on the panel with James E. Murray, Democrat of Montana. a staunch New Dealer, Charles Halleck of Indiana, House Republican leader and Rep. Ray s. Madden, Demo- crat of Indiana.

Extra Session Will Do Little Good

VIENNA, Ga. LP) - Senator George D.-GaD said yesterday he believes President Truman will call Congress into special session, but that it is very ticklish gam ble" which could result in a pOliti- cal stalemate with loss of prestige to the chief executive.
 George, the ranking minority member of the Senate finance committee, said in an interview, that he personally saw little good that could result from special session since he did not believe an emergency relief program for Eu- rope could be pushed through be- fore the first of the year.
 The Senator said that any broad foreign relief program will result in keeping prices up in this coun- try.

English lhl Miners: ''7,:
 Vote To Return To Work Next Monday.

LONDON, P)-Strikers in the Grinethorpe, England, coal mine voted unanimously yesterday to return to work Monday, breaking the back of five-week-ol unau thorized coal strike that took 60,000 workers out of Yorkshire pits.
 Miners elsewhere in the rich Yorkshire coal fields had come out in sympathy with the Grimethorpe workers, cutting Britain's coal production in the midst of an eco- homie crisis in which the fuel was badly needed.
 Labor circles expressed belle. that all the strikers would return to work with the end of the Grimethorpe Walkout.
 The strike developed Aug. II af- ter the national union of mine workers and the national coal board, which operates the nation alized mines, asked Grimethorpe workers to work larger stint" two feet more of coal face,-to up-boost production. The men said they were already producing to the limit of their capacity.

Asked 10 Encourage J
Better Race Relations
Blythe kssoeio,sd Pres,

BALTIMORE, Oct. 13-Baltimore
schoolteachers are asked to dissemi-
nate facts to demonstrate to their
pupils that there is no point to any
racial superiority claim under a
Department of Education Subconl-
mittee report approved by the
School Board.
The report, developed from three
years of study and research, recom-
mended a program to promote better
race relations and eliminate so far
as possible religious intolerance. :,
1t was emphasized the program
is not to be considered a set or
established policy adopted by the
school board. The board explained
that teachers ARE not to be cir
cumscribed in their activities"
toward development of a demo-
cratic life" in classrooms.
In foreword to the suggested
program. DR.. William H. LemmeI,
superintendent OF public instruction,
said:
by disseminating facts of history.
anthropology. psychology. and biol
ogy. children will learn that there
is no point to any racial superiority
claim. for brown. white. black, yell
low, and red people have all made
their contributions to mans ad.
vancement.
But helping pupils to understand
religious customs and ritual and
their basic significance. they will be
able to substitute respect for others
religion in place of prejudice"
White and colored pupils attend
different schools here. +"
