MORE ABOUT MURDERS Continued from i*apv I mangled skull of Jack Hall, sprawled on the floor of his car with the head hanging in the open door as he was left bv the murders, the heinous crime was first dis V'' covered by Homer Green, Jud Robinson and James Clontz as they were on their way to work at Mead plant. The body of the wife, Margie Maple Hall, with, four* deep gashes and a number of bruises on her head, was still alive, but unconscious. She was rushed to Harris hos pital but physicians stated that there was no chance for her to survive. She died at 3 o'clock that afternoon with out having regained consciousness. ? Officers Woxked Hard '^Twelve law enforcement officers worked day and night on the case, determined to break it at the quickest minute. These included Sheriff Griffin Middleton, Dep uties Frank Allen and Thad Cowan; Chief of Police Don Davis and police officers, Jim Mason and George Evans, j Sergeant T. A. Sandlin, of the State Highway Patrol,' and Patrolmen Charles Lindsay,. Prichard Smith, Jr., Ed Guy, and Owen Roberts. Sheriff Middleton stated that solving of the grue-; some murder was chiefly due to the complete cooper-1 ation of these officers. Since the first news of the brutal crime became known a tenseness has gripped the citizens of Sylva and: Jackson county. Men from all over the county milled the streets until late at night and all day anxious to j learn something of the source and intent of the mur-j derers. Every conceivable "guess" as to the cause was j advanced. The known fact that the murdered man al ways carried a large roll of bills on his person was about the first avenue of guessing. Others proposed malice or I jealousy as causes for the crime. These two seem to be out since the confessions of the alledged slayers, and the finding of some of the stolen money. Funeral rites for Mr. Hall were held Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock at the East Fork Baptist church. At the same hour in Sevierville, Tennessee, near the home of her parents, funeral rites and burial were held for Mrs. Hall.

ECOMOMIC ADVISERS INFORM PRESIDENT OF SITUATION President Truman's three-man council of economic advisers has told him that the economic situa tion has grown worse since its last report in January," and - is now critical. In brief, the group told the presi dent the public is not receiving sufficient national income to buy the goodi* which farms and fac tories are turning out. Last Jan uary a gap already had appeared betw.een national income and na tional production, then estimated at S7 billion to $8 billion. This means, if correct, that na tional purchasing power may fall short by some $12 billion during 1947 in taking goods and services oil' the market at present prices. It these goods aren't sold, th^y will be left in shop windows; if serv ices aren't used, ii will mean un employment. From sources believed to be re liable, it is understood that a grave picture was presented to Mr. Tru man and his Cabinet by his eco nomic advisers and other top flight economists called into conference. Most disturbing features were fig ures on building construction, us ually the balance wheel of Ameri can prosperity. It had been hoped that resi dential construction would carry the load of the American economy over the reconversion period. There were $2 billion worth of residential construction in 1940, and it was hoped this would rise to $6 billion in 1947. High prices and other causes have modified this expecta tion, and a construction rate of about the same as last year's is now expected, of only $2 billion. Meanwhile, as anticipated, busi ness construction has declined, with the first pressure of retooling over. As to corporate profits, Mr. Tru man was given figures, it is un derstood, which accounted for his grim comments at the April 10 press conference. These are at an all-time high, due partly to re peal of the excess profits tax after the war, to all-out demand, as well as benefits to some industries by elimination of the Office of Price Administration and other Federal controls.
