Murder Hinted
In -Four Deaths

CHICAGO. Nov. 26 (Pt. - A
blood stained butcher knife was
found imbedded in one of four
charred bodies carried today
from a smoldering fire. Police
called the deaths murder.
Killed were Mrs. Ella Camp,
66, and her three grandchildren,
Mary Frances Brock, 10, Gym
|thia Brooks. and Farry Brock,
n months. all negroes. The six
inch blade of the knife was
buried to the handle in Mrs.
Camps neck.
Mrs. Camp was caring for the
youngsters in their small frame
home in East Chicago Heights. a
Chicago suburb. while their
mother was at work. Fire flashed
through the four-room dwelling
early this morning.
"It is proving out to be murder
and a fire afterward," said Will
liam Hadnott, police sergeant in
the village of l,548 some rs miles
south of Chicago's Loop. 1T
seems like the fire was purposely
set"
The village volunteer fire de-
partment, led by Mrs. Camps
son, Chief Sam Camp, found the
fire raging beyond control. The
children were Chief Camps
nephew and nieces. Lack OF
water in the section OF poor
homes hampered the flremen.
East Chicago Heights is a
racilly mixed community. Many
of the village officials are
Negroes. Sergt. Hadnott said the
different races get along har-
monlously in the village.
The children's mother. Mrs.
Irene Brock. 20. is a part-time
waitress at a tavern. She was
at the tavern when a aeighbor
telephoned at about 3:l5 am.
that her home was af1re. She ran
home--too late to save her chill
dren or her mother. Mrs. Brock
lis separated from her husband.

ITO those who seem to fear
that the result of this study would
be Government interference" the
Senator's letter continued, 81 say
If the Government can interfere
through the Federal Reserve
Board to save the stock market
and to restrain business borrow
ing to prevent imitation. how can
lit be said that it is dangerous
for a committee of Congress to
lay face up on the table all the
facts which show that the dan
ger Of imitation in the automobile
industry has become a threat to
the whole economy"
The testimony at tomorrow's
hearing will relate to the Gen.
eral Motors Acceptance Corp,
which finances car sales.
The first witness will be
Holmes Baldridge, a former as
sistant attorney general, now in
private practice. The hearings
are expected to continue for 10
days or two weeks, and Senator

dreds of persons he said have
written to express approval OF
the current hearings before the
Senate Antitrust and Monopoly
subcommittee.
Because the Federal Reserve
Board recognizes that over-ex-
tended credit is a cause of infla-
tion, it has increased the inter-
est rate allowed by all banks in
the United States" the Senator
wrote. THE purpose of this il
to make it more difficult for busi-
ness to borrow. Prior to this
action of which I have just
spoken, the Federal Reserve
Board twice this year has in
creased margin requirements in

sion down and preventing specu-
lation."

disobeying Congress. 1t said the
Defense Department is moving
toward greater unity in supply
matters. but that Congress never
had directed it to adopt any
specific kind of supply system.
The argument took place in an
exchange of corresponden
made public by Mr.. Mccormack.
The Democratic leader raped
the Defense Department for lin
consistencies" in explaining its
position y

mia letter to Mr.. wilson last
month, he said:
Il am sure we both agree that
our constitutional form Of Gov
ernment is in jeopardy when-
ever the executive agencies, re-
gardless of motives. good inten-
tions or even greater wisdom in
d given instance, choose the laws
they wih execute and those they
will disregard"
But the evidence is conclu-
siye, that the overlapping, dupli-
cation and waste is OF such
magnitude in and among the
military services as to make
possible enormous savings. with
no loss of efficiency or military
effectiveness, and thus release
funds badly needed for domes-
tic obiectives."
Replying for Mr.. Wilson a few
days ago, r. C. Lanphier, deputy
secretary for supply and logis-
tics, said the department recog-
nized congressional wishes for
supply unification. but declared
Congress has never directed the
establishment Of any specific
type Of supply or distribution
system"
Under the 1947 law. Congress
directed the services to unity, but
left to the discretion of the De-
tense Secretary the best methods
for meeting the supply and dis
tribution problems Of the mill
tary.
Mr.. Lanphier noted that as Of

The Senator charged again
that automobile manufactures
are demanding that dealers sell
cars under conditions which re-
quire the dealer to risk his capi-
tai by extending the repayment
period for too long a time, to
accept. small down payments,
and to give exaggerated trade-in
values for old cars"
