J., Nov. 17-GP)-A crazed 26-year-old war veteran who machine gunned to death live people, including three of his es tranged wife's family and his un cle, was captured tonight by New Jersey state police. Ernest Ingenito was reported to have wounded at least four oth ers during his rampage of death in the tiny village of Piney Hol low, a farm and scrub pine section of south Jersey. State police at the Malaga, N. J., station said Ingenito was ap prehended by two troopers at 1:25 a. xxl, four hours and 25 minutes after he fired the first shots.

Dead cats were thrown -around in all directions. Mike Straus, reclamation commis sioner, accused the Texas and California affiliates of sabotaging the - program of the association; and that brought a spirited reply from a Fresno delegate who ac cused the reclamation bureau of autocracy. H. T. Nelson, regional director of the bureau at Boise, made a plea for the "basin 'ac count" which embraces a pooling of revenues and diversion of same to further, irrigation where costs exceed capacity of landowners to repay. This would suck in the famed "interest component" on power project costs which NRA officials have contended should be returned to the national treasury. President Polk of the association called for greater local responsibil ity and control; and Marshall Dana brought in a committee report for a basin development plan that would be an alternate to valley authorities, which NRA fights and the interior and reclamation or facials favor. : Spokane must have been a real battleground: Shades of, the Old West, when men fought over wat erholes and cattlemen shot down Invading sheepmen!

They chased him half a mile before the squad car cut off his green Ford sedan and brought him to a halt. Police did not say if they found the machine gun in the get-away car. The gunman killed his victims in the homes of his estranged wife and her father and then es caped in a green, four-door Ford sedan through a statewide police dragnet. State police, gradually piecing together the story of death, said Ingenito sped his car to Minotola. another rural settlement, and wounded several other persons. The dead were identified as Michael Mazzoli, 44, Ingenito's father-in-law; Mrs. Pearl Maz Mouse Seeks Senate . --. Aid ora Tax By Paul W. Harvey, Jr. Leaders of the Oregon house of representatives want the senate to help work out a joint tax program, in order to shorten the 1951 state legislature. , The ways and means committees of the two houses sit together to make the appropriations. The house leaders want the same sys tem' for the tax committees. In recent sessions, the house committee would hold hearings and finally get its tax program completed after a couple ' of months or more. Then the senate tax committee would hold its own hearings, rewrite the house ver sion, and send it back to the house. Then the house members ac cepted the senate tax bill in order to end the session. ' Hold Joint Hearings Under the new plan, .the tax committees of the two houses would hold all their hearings to gether and draft the tax bills. Then the bills would go to the house, because the constitution provides that all tax bills must start in the house. The bills would go from the house straight to the senate. Much time and money would be saved. . Senate leaders haven't yet said whether they would go for the idea. Some feel it is better to keep the present system. They think better legislation results if the two houses develop their own ideas. But other committees of - the two houses, such as highway, ag riculture and fisheries meet jointly. ' Short on Know How The house is woefully short of men who know about state fi nances. Of the 11 men on the 1949 house tax committee, only three will be back And only three of the seven members of the 1949 house ways and means committee will be in the new legislature. Rep. John F. Steelhammer, Sa lem republican who seems a cinch to be speaker of the new house, isn't saying who will head the two financial committees. But the answers are very plain. Rep. Henry Semon, Klamath Falls democrat who's been in the house since 1933, probably will be ways and means chairman. Wilhelm Qualified And Rep. Rudie Wilheln, jr. Portland republican who has been in the house for two sessions, is slated to head the tax committee. Semon, a 66-year-old . potato grower; stands high .among the republican leadership despite be ing a democrat. He was chairman of the committee in 1949 and 1945 and was vice chairman in 1947. Wilhelm, 36, a Portland ware houseman, is a bright, young man who seems headed for the speak ership, possibly in 1953. He's never served on the tax commit tee before. But he showed he knows a lot about finances in 1949, when he was on the ways and means committee, j WATER SUPPLY CUT COOS BAY.

The enemy was believed to be setting up a 60-mile east-west line anchor near " Taechon, ' 45 miles from the Yalu river boun dary with Manchuria. Behind the front war flared In central Korea. South Korean po lice routed 30 red guerrillas who had set the town of Kapyong on fire and put its 8,000 civilians to flight in the wintry weather.
