The committee said it has ask ed government agencies to deny awards of contracts where there was "clear and convincing evi dence ' of failure to comply with the nondiscrimination clause in previous contracts. The committee, charged with enforcing the nondiscrimination clause written into all govern ment contracts, reported to Pres ident Eisenhower on personnel policies in more than 500 plants of U. S. contractors which it re viewed during the past year. It found that more than 50,000 Negroes and other members of minority groups were working in 335 of the plants. Although Negroes held nearly 9 per cent of the jobs in the plants, their representation in white collar work "was striking ly lower," the report said. It said office jobs for Negroes were most common in Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia and the New York City area. The committee said the num ber of Negro apprentices for skilled trades was higher than the percentage of Negroes now working in those crafts. Vice President Richard M. Nixon, committee chairman, said the committee adopted two new methods of insuring that employ ers comply with the antibias clause. Support Session Richfield Oil 57 V.

Central Wednesday, November 20, 1937 Sheriff Maintains Gein Committed Mass Murder of 10 Madison, Wis. (IP A sheriff maintained today that bachelor farmer Ed Gein committed the mass murder of 10 or more wom en to obtain his collection of human heads. Sheriff Herbert Wanserski of Portage county injected the con troversial theory into the investi gation Tuesday night when he said he found the shrunken head of a missing woman in Gein's "house of horrors." However, the director of Wis consin's crime laboratory, Charles Wilson, said it would be impossible to identify any of the human death masks or skulls by sight. Gein, 51, a frail, mild-mannered farmer from near Plain field, Wis., has admitted butch ering a woman storekeeper last Saturday. He said he got the rest of the skulls found in his junk littered home by rpbbing fresh graves. Mora Tests for Gein Gein was scheduled to under go further lie tests today at crime laboratory headquarters here in an effort to settle the is sue. Gein was questioned for about five hours Tuesday afternoon and submitted to a 35-minute lie test. Wanserski told newsmen he and other authorities found the "face and head of Mary Hogan," a 54-year-old tavern operator from near Plainfield who disap peared nearly three years ago. Gein has admitted dragging Mrs. Worden's body from her hardware store and hanging it by the heels in his woodshed. .There also were traces of for maldehyde in Gein's house, Wil son said, which could mean that Gein embalmed murder victims or that the skulls could have come from persons already em balmed. But Wilson said he did not think Wanserski could possibly identify the head of Mary Ho gan from among Gein's ghoulish trophies. Wanserski said the heads found in the farmhouse had been skinned and made into death masks. Sheriff Arthur Schley, of Gein's home county said he was satisfied that Gein killed only Mrs. Worden and that the other skulls came from graves.
