YOUTH ADMITS SLAYING CHILD Baltimore, Jan. 12. (P)-Police Commissioner Hamilton R.

Kriss.
Atkinson declared a knife which the youth said was the weapon he used, has been found. Beach WAS arrested today by members of the homicide squad detail on a tip from Cleveland police. Sheila Ann's knife-pierced body was found New Year's night on neighbor's porch, three hours after she was reported missing. REAL ESTATE (Continued from Page One) living in different townships of the same county should be assessed uniformly so the cost of county and government will fall equally upon them. Need for a statewide uniform assessment arises from two factors: First, the state property tax levy is collected from all property owners in the state and should be paid by all 'on an equal assessment basis: The state levy in 1946, payable in 1947, was 13 cents.
per $100 of property valuation. The 1947 levy payable in 1948 is 15 cents, divided as follows: 7 cents, school revenue; .06, teachers retirement. fund; .01 world war memorial; .0035, board of agriculture, and .0065, state forestry. Second, under Indiana law the state provides financial "relief" to local school units, in addition 'to the general state school distribution, if a local school unit. is unable, to meet minimum school standards after levying a school tax of a certain rate set by law (now $1 per $100 of property valuation but rises to $1.50 for 1948-49 school year).
Obviously a school unit with property relatively underassessed may qualify for state school merely because its total assessment is low, while other units with equal or less actual' property wealth, but with higher assessment -standards, pay their own way. Uniform assessments obviously! would correct these inequalities among Indiana taxpayers. MARSHALL (Continued from Page One) the four-and-a-quarter-year program got down to the brass tacks stage with these principal developments: Truman put 000,000 for the first 15 months of European aid in his hotly debated budget message. "The costa of added military strength, if Europe should succumb to totalitarian rule, would far exceed the costs of the program of economic aid now before Congress," the President said. 2-Secretary of State Marshall told the House foreign affairs committee, which opened hearings on his proposals, that "businesslike" administration is important and the way to get it is to put authority in the hands of "8 single 3---The Senate foreign relations committee heard Secretary of Commerce Harriman testify: "A program of the contemplated magnitude will be costly and will mean sacrifice by the American people.
The benefits to be gained, however, outweigh the immediate sacriAces." DEFENSE (Continued from Page One) development for the military establishment, a "large proportion" will be aviation and related fields, the President said. Mr. Truman said his recommendations provide for "main-! taining the feet and Naval aviation at the 1948 strength, but with. "increased aircraft for the Navy. He recommended $312.000,000 (an increase of 000,000 over the present budget) for Naval ship construction, and also made this suggestion: To assist in modernizing the fleet, Congress should repeal existing laws requiring the comrletion of certain ships on the ways and use the $230,000.000 that would go into them for building "advance design" craft during the next few I years.
While he did not elaborate on this suggestion, his comment appeared to refer, to proposals for entirely new tyre surface, and craft to cope atomic age warfare.

It called, the Air Force "Inadequate" now. It added arm, as preconstituted, would be "hopelessly wanting" in a period of "serious danger of atomic attack." And it went on the assumption that such a period will begin with 1953, The five-man body of private citizens, reporting to President Truman after a five months study of all phases of aviation, looked first at its relationship to the international situation. "World peace and the security of the United States are now the that the United States will be sesame thing." it said. "We believe cure absolute sense only.
if the of war itself is abolished a regime of law." It urged therefore, 8 "doublebarreled policy to "achieve peace through support and development of the United Nations, and at the same time "prepare for the possibility that war may come." The commission called for a new concept of defense based on air power, the "new element through which this country may be attacked."

It declared the Air Force must be so modern and so strong that it hot only can meet an attack but can deal crushing counteroffensive blow on the aggressor."
