Deadlock Tightened
By HENRY BURCHFIEL
Henry W. Ford, county assessor, Thursday re-
quested a grand jury investigation of his office. It has
been a target of charges and counter-charges over a
period of 18 months.
Such a probe, Ford said, would bring to light past
and present tax assessing practices and permit dis-
sident citizens to air their tax grievances before an
investigating body.
Ford said his request for an investigation is not
based on personal animosity toward anyone. Instead,
he believes it would serve to better inform the public
of what taxes they are paying and why.
Ford made an unsuccessful plea last January to
John M. Rogers, state examiner and inspector, for an
investigation of his office.
He urged the probe after he said he discovered thou-

PHILADELPHIA ( — A madman fired repeated
shotgun blasts into a crowded dining room of a home
for the aged Thursday, killing two of the residents and
wounding four others.
He was then wounded and captured in a battle with
expert police riflemen.
The gunman, Kyrlo Czupirczuk, 42, an unemployed
carpenter, had been placed in an institution earlier this
nancial crisis through a special walking through the building, also a chance, though not so cer- mier.

His plea was rejected by Rog-

law does not authorize the ex-
aminer and inspector to investi-

handling public funds. The as-
sessor handles only the money
allocated to run his department.
