y Infcrmaiion leak' Being Investigated By Loyalty Board Washington, Mar. 18 (U.R) Chairman Seth W. Richardson today began a personal investi gation to determine who "leaked" information from the loyalty review board to Sen. Jo seph R. McCarthy (R., Wis.). "I'm going to see if I can't find out who is loose-tongued," Richardson said. McCarthy, who has been of fering evidence before a senate sub-committee to show that the state department is studded wiyj pro-communists, immediately de nied that his information about the loyalty cast of state depart ment Career Man John S. Serv ice came from Richardson's board. McCarthy insisted that he re ceived his information from a state department source whom he would not identify. The controversy developed as Sen. Walter George (D., Ga.) said Secretary of State Dean Acheson I "certainly" will be called to an swer McCarthy's charges that there are at least 57 commu nists on the state department's payroll.

FBI 'Print' Files Trap 1,000 People in U. $. Monthly Washington (U.R) Finger prints sent to the FBI by police agencies are resulting in the identification of fugitives at the rate of 1,000 a month. Yet it was not so many years ago that the world's police had to depend on such things as "cam era eyes" (officers with extreme ly good memories for faces) or on tatto-ing, branding, and maim ing to keep track of criminals. It was not unusual in early ages to chop off a thief's hands. Those who did the chopping did not know it then, but they were destroying the one infallible means of identification. The FBI has been building its fingerprint files for a little more than a quarter century. It now has 113,400,000 sets of prints, representing an estimated 75, 000.000 persons. Of the prints, 19,611,000 are in the criminal files. Started by Hoovtr Establishment of the FBI's identification division was the first thing done by J. Edgar Hoover after he became direc tor in 1924. Prior to that, the nation's police were dependent on the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the Leav enworth (Kan.) penitentiary fin gerprint files. Those collections provided the nucleus of the FBI files and es tablishment of the new central clearing house fulfilled an in sistent and growing demand by the nation's police chiefs for one co-operative system. Hoover says criminal Identifi cation is the "most potent fac tor in obtaining the apprehension of the fugitive who might oth erwise escape arrest and con tinue his criminal activities." The ridges and depressions of the fingertips form about three months before birth and remain unchanged throughout life. And to date, no two individuals, even identical twins, have been found to have the same prints. There are eleven major moun tain peaks in the Grand Teton national park. PLANNING A NEW HOME?

States Receiving Increasing Amount Of Federal Funds Chicago (U.R) The Council State Governments reports that the amount of money given by th federal government to states nearly doubled between 1946 and 1948. Federal grants-in-aid to states totaled nearlv $1,500,000,000 in 1948. compared with $770,700. 000 in 1946, a study by the coun cil showed. Last year's grants, the council said, equaled nearly four per cent of total federal expendi tures. "If the upward trend of fed eral aid continues," the council said, "there is little likelihood that any considerable tax reduc tion will occur in fields suitable for state and local taxation. Tax Reduction Needed "If the states and localities are to regain some of the tax sources pre-empted by the fed eral government, it is essential that federal tax reduction be ac complished, and this is depend ent upon a substantial reduction in federal expenditures." Federal grants-in-aid to states averaged $8.04 per capita during fiscal 1947, the council said. Total per capita grants in sev eral states were considerably higher than the national average, the council said, while only a few states reported grants signifi cantly below the average. The council said 13 states ap pear to have benefitted substan tially from federal grants. The council based its conclusion on a study of the relationship be tween per capita grants and per capita income, and between pel capita grants and per capita fed eral tax collections. The study shows that in 1947 Idaho, Montana, North Dakota and Wyoming had the combina lion of higher per capita grants and income and low per capita (Acme Telephotoi FACES TRIAL - capt. w. d.
