He is the dapper, sardonic Ha rold Jackson accused by his partner, Joseph Lear. 43, of plan ning and directing the kidnaping. Both Jackson and Lear were seized by police early Tuesday morning, before the $300,000 ran som demand reduced from an original $500,000 had been met. Moskovitz, 36-year-old San Fran cisco real- estate broker, was res cued, unharmed, after having been held two and one-half days. To Ask Indictment Chief assistant district attorney Norman Elkington said Wednesday night he would go before the grand jury Monday night and ask for in dictment of both men under Call fornia's "Little Lindbergh Law. Elkington said the question of ask ing the death penalty still is under consideration. Meantime Police Chief Michael Gaffey reported Jackson, 57, ap parently had attempted to alter his fingerprints. He said Francis X. Latulipe, head of the police crime laboratory, first reported Jackson's fingers were so badly burned the fingerprints could not be classified. Prints Match : But after long study, Latulipe reported, laboratory experts re constructed the print classifica tions. They matched, Latulipe said. those of one Howard Haller, alias! Harold Jackson, who was sentenc ed in Washington State in 1923 for highway robbery and served a term in the Monroe State Refor matory.. "Our records show," Latulipe said, "both men were born in North Dakota, both have blue eyes and brown hair. I would say the prints are very simuar and m 1.

CORNELL WASHINGTON UT) President Eisenhower sends to Congress Thursday a trimmed down federal budget to finance the government through the 1955 fiscal year start ing next July 1. It will be the first complete budget in 21 years from a Repub lican ! administration and congres sional leaders are predicting it will be around three billion dollars out? of balance. Sen. Bridges (R NH), chairman of the Senate Ap propriations Committee, said Jan. 3 that Eisenhower was aiming at holding the deficit within that fig ure, i Once again, the budget is bound to be heavy with expenditures for national defense, which now ac counts for roughly two-thirds of all federal (spending. But even this big program has been slashed sub stantially. Eisenhower himself has said tfat administration can get more fight ing power for less money through a "new flook" defense policy plac ing the emphasis on airpower and an assortment of atomic and other new i weapons. As the administra tion sees it, this will make it pos sible j to spend less for manpower and equipment. A high administration authority disclosed last November that the Eisenhower team was working to ward lopping between five and six billion dollars from next year's budget and it was obvious national security must share in any such reduction. This official mentioned iVi or 4 billion as the likely slash in secur ity spending. He figured at that time with final decisions on the budget still to be made that spending would be held to perhaps 66 or 67 bil lions, against slightly more than 72 billions projected Jfor this year when the current budget was re vised last August. He put government income at about 63 billions for the year ahead, S compared with the August estimate of a little over 68 billions for this year. Eisenhower had indicated in ad vance i some of the " things that might be expected in his budget cancellation, for instance, of reductions in corporation income and; sales taxes on such things as gasoline and liquor, set automati cally for next Jan. 1 under present law; f . mt Viu-i AVi Or.
