2 ALTOONA TRIBUNE, Tuesday, Marrn 1. 1M Key Awards Presented To Three Lions "Squeeze" On Profit Margins Is Advocated Cultist Admits Slaying Wife, Burying Baby WASHINGTON l.Vt A smiling. 40-year-old nudist cult follower admitted to police Monday that he shot his wife to death and buried their infant daughter alive In a shallow grave in nearby Virginia. Police Capt. Jeremiah F.

Flaherty said Charles Francis Holober, 40, confessed the slay-ings before he was taken ti Fairfax county, where be was arraigned on double murder charges. Police said Holober lotd them that he loaded a pick, shovel and pistol into his car last Thursday, then drove his family to a deserted area about 20 miles from Washington. Thciv, police said, lie shot his wife twice in the back of the head and again in the body when she moved. The officers quoted Holober as saying he decided to bury the baby alive beside his wife when his gun jammed. Ho said he "didn't have the nerve to beat the poor baby to death." The reason he gave for tho Slaying was that his wife had "broken her contract" with him.

He told police: He married her in December, 1947. because she was expecting-their child. It wasn't part of their agreement that he should support her or live with her. Later she demanded that he provide support, Recently sin? insisted she wanted to live wiili him. The wife, Mrs.

Dr. Williams, Portage, Dr. Lovell, Bellwood: WASHINGTON UP)- One of President Truman's top economic advisers said Monday businessmen should "squeeze" margins of profit rather than cut wages or throw workers out of jobs. Leon H. Keyserliug, a member of the President's three-man economic advisory council, said Former President Herbert Hoover advocated such a policy when he was in the White House.

But, he said: "Unfortunately, his pleas were unavailing." Keyseiiing said that if business decides to hold onto its margins as long as possible, cutting back on employment and production, the results would be "dangerous." "We must make hard and realistic efforts to avoid the boom-bust cycle, or we will certainly again suffer its consequences," he said in a copyrighted interview published by the U. S. News and World Report, a weekly news magazine, Keyseiiing also said failure to increase taxes at this time "would tend to encourage inflationary pressures." He does not believe inflation is coming to an end just yet, he said, "although it is not as rampant as it was last year." Keyseiiing expressed his views as Senator O'Mahoney ID-Wyo) predicted a majority of the senate-house economic committee he heads will approve a report which generally endorses President Truman's economic program. The report is supposed to be submitted to congress Tuesday. A confidential preliminary draft handed to a newsman backs up most of Mr.

Truman's blueprint, including the proposal for standby authority to restore price and wage controls on a selective basis. The preliminary document does not come right out and approve the President's request for a tax boost, but it clearly sets forth the opinion that the only way to get n' surplus to apply on the national debt is to increase taxes. The report discounts recent price declines, and says: 'In short, 1949 probably is going was contributed to the heart drive.
