Twenty-seven years old, Reynolds was the son of Mrs. Ella Reynolds of 2108, North Tenth Street.

He was a post graduate student at Stanford University. The former Terre Haute man was first sighted by an elderly bird-watcher with binoculars. He found Reynolds slumped in the back seat of the automobile parked on a lonely knoll. Police found a hose running from the exhaust pipe to a partially opened window. AU other windows were closed.

The total increase in revenue for the two-year period thus would be $87,800,000, or $12,800,000 more than the deficit of 75 million dollars in the budget in its present form.

Handley said his withholding proposal would apply only to employers of seven or more persons, and thus would not force farmers, housewives and other small employers to set up special books. He pointed out that larger employers already have a bookkeeping setup for withholding federal income taxes. Of his program as a whole, tile governor told the legislators: is with extreme reluctance, yet certainly as a matter of necessity that I make these recommendations here today. We are it tile economic The program appeared certain to touch off a bitter fight in both houses between his down-the-line supporters and the strong element in the Republican majorities which favors junking the gross income tax in favor of some form of sales tax.

The governor reneged his criticism of federal tax levels, pointing out that a worker making $5,000 a year pays $40 in state gross income tax but, even with three dependents, pays $405.60 in federal income tax, or IO times the state tax.
