ARREST TACOMA
 KILLER
FBI Picks Up Ex- -Coneiet Who Admits Staying
 of Elderly Couple

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 9-lR- A 33-year-old ex-convict, arrested here by the FBI, has admitted kill ing an elderly Tacoma couple last month, Special FBI Agent Harry M Kimball said today.
 He is John Edward Summers, a former neighbor of the victims, Howard Easley, 62, and his wife, Elizabeth, ST. He surrendered with out resistance late yesterday at a Cough Street rooming house where he had been living under the name John Skinnere.
 Kimball said the man, farm laborer and dishwasher, agreed to removal to Washington state, where he is charged with first de- gree murder.
 FBI agents declined to disclose how they traced Summers here. They said they found in his pocket } copy of the FBI's Wanted notice alerting police to be on the lookout for him. The notice, Kim 5all said, had been stolen from a mail box at the rooming house.
 The Easleys were shot and killed at their Tacoma home on July 16. Berry pickers near Chinook Pass found the bodies four days later Easley's automobile was sold to a Portland dealer on July 21.
 Federal agents stepped into the case with a complaint charging Summers with taking stolen car over state lines. He also is charged with the Federal offense of unlaw- ful flight to avoid prosecution for murder.
 Kimball said Summers was re- leased last May from Washington state penitentiary and had been arrested on a number of occasions for forgery, burglary, larceny and carrying concealed weapons.
 Summers today hlurted out a story of accidental shooting.
 The ex-convict was given a form al appearance before U. s. Commis- sioner Francis St. J. Fox.
 Handcuffed and guarded by two deputy U. s. Marshals, Summers appeared before Fox, who asked him if he had any statement.
 Summers didn't have to reply. But he recounted eagerly story he had earlier told newsmen. He had visited the Easleys on their ranch near where he lived, he said. Mrs. Easley berated him for not picking up a suit at a cleaning place. Her husband joined in the argument, which grew heated. Eas- ley reached for rifle, the accused man said. and Summers and the rancher struggled. The weapon dis charged, Mrs. Easley was killed, and her husband resumed the fight for possession of the gun. Again bullet was fired, Summers declar- ed. This one killed Easley.
 Help From Alaska
 The Federal Bureau of Investi- gation in Seattle said today tip from its Anchorage, Alaska, office aided in tracing Summers.
 J. B. Wilcox, agent in charge of the FBI at Seattle, gave this account:
 As part of general investiga- tion, an FBI agent in Anchorage interviewed a relative of Summers. The Anchorage informant gave the name of another relative in San Francisco. The latter person re- ported that Summers was believed to be working as a janitor in cer- tain San Francisco rooming house district.
 A systematic check of the district followed and the search ended when Summers answered the door bell at a Cough Street rooming house, and admitted his identity.

Week Of Rest Ends,
Truman Will Start
Work on Messages
By Joseph A. Fox
Sfar SiaH Correspondent

KEY WEST, Florida. Dec. S.
Winding up the first lap Of his
three-week vacation here, Presi-
dent Truman was getting ready
tonight to get back on a working
basis and put in some solid licks
on State of the Union and Budget
messages which 60 to Congress
early in January-with the ques-
ton of tax recommendations fig
uring largely in his calculations.
The President, 1t was said. still
stands by the premise that more
revenue is the only solution to a
balanced budget. and with the
Government already facing a
deficit of $500, 100000 when the
1850 fiscal year ends June 80, the
problem of getting enough income
presents large order. This is
particularly true since Congress.
in an election year, can be
counted on to be decidedly reluc-
tant to put a new bite on the Ma
tion's pocketbook.
Too, there still is that large
scale health insurance and ex-
panded social security program
to which the Democratic party is
committed, which would call for
more funds.
Drafting Starts Tomorrow.
Mr.. Truman has been giving
some thought to this whole prob
lem. but the program which will
be submitted on Capitol Hill will
start to take actual shape on Mon
day, when Presidential Assistant
John r. Steelman returns from
Washington bulwarked with sug-
gestions from various agencies.
In addition to getting this mat
ter in written form. MI. Steelman
also has held conferences with
Treasury Secretary Snyder. Com

tions down here that he had to
decline all. The ceremony was

had long to be remembered exper-
ience last Sunday night when they
talked to their daughter Doris, now
Mrs. Robert Harmon who with her
husband and little daughter were on
the liner Queen Elizabeth approach
ing New York harbor.
It was thrill for the Garmatters
to hear the voice of their daughter
who has been in Italy for two and
one-half years and equally momen-
tous to carry on the conversation by
wireless telephone combination of
telephone and radio. Contact with
the ship was established at stated
intervals and the rate for a three
minute conversation was slightly
over s14. The Hammans landed in
New York on Monday night and
are expected here the last Of the
week.
For some reason which we've
never been able to figure out, spring
seems always to be the open season
or rackets and this year is no ex-
ception. One of these is the old
paint racket-the stranger who of
fers a new" type of paint with a
lot of guarantees" too good to be
true and there's the fellow who
just happens to be working in the
neighborhood," who will clean out
your spouting and cutters cheap"
He, too, has profitable racket.
And the chap who sells you shrub
bery-you never saw him before and
you won't see him again when it
doesn't grow And the high pres
sure insulation and siding salesman
who will promise almost anything to
get your signature on the dotted
line. There's one sure remedy to
squelch all of this talk--know with
whom you are dealing and satisfy
yourself of their integrity and abil-
ity to make good their promises.
