Wilson now tells that what kept

1-Shirt Clue Investigated
In Los Angeles Staying
By the A,,oejuted Pres.

LOS ANGELES, May s. -Sheriff's
investigators turned to scientific de-
lection methods today in efforts to
solve the Staying of Mrs. Dorothy
Montgomery, 36, whose nude, bat
tered body was found Saturday in a
vacant lot.
Among clues being studied by 1t.
Fred Wolfe of the sheriff's criminol-
ogy section and 1t. Peter Sutton Of
the homicide detail were blood
stained T-shirt, two partial finger
prints, the victims shredded cloth
ing and bloody automobile.
1t. Sutton said the T-shirt, while
1t was determined to bear human
bloodstains, might not prove a valu-
able clue because of the absence Of
laundry marks or any other identi-
flying symbols. It was found several
blocks from the vacant lot.
The fingerprints were found on
the rear-view mirror and steering
wheel Of Mrs. Montgonsery's auto-
mobile, parked near a playground
where she had gone Friday night
to meet her daughter, Maycille, IS.
Although the investigators first
reported that Mrs. Montgomery had
been raped, they said last night that
an autopsy disclosed that was not
the case. The post mortem exam
nation, 1t. Sutton said, showed that
she had been strangled, apparently
choked from behind, and that her
scalp was lacerated by a heavy blow
on the back of the head but no skull
fracture was apparent.

between the two companies caused
"a delay in the development and

G. 0. P. Pledge 10 Cut
Expense Faces First
Senate Test Today
BY the A.seeiated Press

Republican pledges to slash
Government costs reach their
first test in the Senate today,
with action slated on the 1948
Labor Department Federal Sc
curity Administration appropria-
ton bill.
Senator Knowland, Republican, of
California, floor manager for the
81 ,676, ,198,08 measure, told re-
porter he was ready to battle any
and all attempts to increase the
total.
Three Democratic Senators-Mc-
Carran of Nevada, O'Mahoney of
Wyoming, and Hayden of Arizona
already have served notice they will
try to restore about $4,000, 900 to the
bill to provide additional operating
funds for the Labor Department.
Senator Knowland, saying every
body is in favor of economy as a
general thing" asserted that he
would demand a roll call vote on
any substantial amendment" be-
cause "this is the first chance SEN
ators have to actually put economy
into action"
Poor Measure for Test.
The Senate bill contains So, 1888, 700
less than was voted by the House
and is about $10o,o00,000 or SD per
cent below President Truman's esti-
mates of needs.
Senator Knowland noted that the
saving rate is considerably below
respective Senate and House prom
ises to whittle $4,500, 600, 900 and $6.-
000, 900, 900 from Mr.. Truman's $37,-
0o,000,0o0 budget.
"But this is one of the poorest
bills to judge possible Government
economies he added. "It contains
more than $500, 900, 900 grants-in-
aid and benefits payments. And
those under the Social Security pro-
gram cannot be reduced"
Would Retain Warren.
Even though the total is less than
the amount voted by the House, the
bill as 1t reached the Senate floor
carries some 100000 more for the
Labor Department, including $780,
900 to permit Cancellation Director
Edgar L. Warren and 100 of his top
aides to stay in Office.
These additions. were offset by a
cut in funds the Government grants
States to operate employment serv-
ices and In an allotment for cancer
research.
The Cancellation Service funds
were omitted from the House bill
on an Appropriations Committee
recommendation contending that
Mr.. Warren had belonged to two
Communist front" organizations
and advocated the right of Govern
ment workers to strike.
Defends Schwellenbach Authority.
MIR. Warren denied the latter
charge in testimony before Senators
and said he resigned the two mem
berships as soon as he learned the
nature of the organizations.
Senator Knowland said Senators
on the Senate Appropriation Com
mittee agreed Congress had no right
to tell Secretary of Labor Schwel-
lenbach whom he should hire and
fire.
Senator McCarran, who filed an
unusual minority report for the
three Democratic members of the
Senate committee, said the cuts in
budget estimates will seriously
cripple the work of the Labor De-
partment."
