ties dug deep Wednesday into the
past of the accused kidnapers of
Leonard Moskovitz and said they
found evidence one may be an ex-
convict.
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

by agreeing to broaden the scope
of the peace conference to include
other outstanding Asian questions.

Receive Ike's
BudgetToday
Br DOUGLAS B. 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
