Cameron. Detectives traced a barroom conversation and hotel registrations to Ziegler, recovered the weapon from a Rex Avenue sewer, and stated he admitted the killing after blood drops on his clothes were found.

Rent Control Rules Open Path to Higher Rents and Services
Washington June 27 AP A million landlords may seek rent increases under the 1949 Rent Control Act as Housing Expeditor Tighe E Woods reports many application blanks issued. Four new orders may raise rents if landlords provide tenant services or improvements. Local directors have wide leeway for remodeling, decorating, furnaces and other upgrades. The expeditor notes potential economic boosts from spendings on 14 million dwellings, but warns on calculating exact rises. Many owners misstate costs or omit long-ago expenditures, while tenant consent rules limit immediate increases though exceptions exist for property preservation and standard practices.
