What caused the trousers to be stained will probably be revealed in a report expected early Tuesday from Dr. Frank B.

Cleveland, pathologist for the Hamilton County Coroner's office. Dr. Cleveland administered the blood test to Michael during the boy's 90-minute visit to the Greenhills Police Station. The youth, a freshman football player at Greenhills High School, was asked to go over his story again while he was at the station. Police then took him home.

Patricia Ann's body, bruised and beaten, was found at dawn Friday in the rear yard of a lot at the corner of Illona Drive and Jennings Road, across the street from Michael's home. The boy has said that he was waiting for Patricia Ann to Join him at his home after her departure alone from a teen-age dance at the American Legion Home on Winton Road. At 9:30 p. she telephoned his sister, Cheryl, asking if she could stop by to visit. Cheryl, acting as go-between for Patricia Ann and Michael, told her to come ahead.

When Patricia had not arrived by 10 p. Michael said he went outdoors, cut through the lot where the girl's body was found next morning, to look for her at the corner of Ingram Road and Illona. He said he returned home to watch television and play cards when he could not find her. MICHAEL, in company with his mother, Mrs. Dawn Wehrung, his sister, Cheryl, and two friends, Ray Sinclair and Steve Til-lett, paid an unannounced call to the Greenhills Police Station earlier Monday.

When the five emerged, Mrs. Wehrung explained they were Just interested in learning of progress in the case. She said the family had been bothered by many telephone calls, most of the crank variety. Callers, she said, were getting a member of the family on the telephone, and then usually hanging up without saying anything. DONALD RONEY, chief Investigator for the Hamilton County prosecuting attorney's office, talked with the mother and son for approximately 20 minutes.

He said their visit to the station was purely voluntary. It was Mr. Roney who revealed there were stains on Michael's pants. He also said the boy carried a small red mark under his right wrist. Another Greenhills boy, said to have been a former boyfriend of the dead girl, was being interrogated Monday night.

Michael was planning to attend funeral services for warhj a London area on the soutft side of the River Thames much frequented by Snakespeare. At the George, the canon had beer and discussed religion with those who'd followed him from the cathedral. The group consumed 18 pints of beer, light ales. 13 lagers, 10 gins, eight wliiskys and more than a dozen soft drinks. The canon's tour was another innovation in the Southwark diocese's vigorous campaign to attract more people to church.

"The church and the pub," said Canon Rhymes, "hav always been closely linked, you know." New Reward Rewards for Information leading to the capture and conviction of Patricia Ann Rebholz' killer now total $1500. Radio Station WSAI Monday added $500 to the $1000 offered Saturday by the Cincinnati Enquirer. Patricia at 10:30 a. m. Tuesday, at the Hodapp Funeral Home, 7401 Vine St.

Dr. Cleveland, who was on the scene during most of the day, would not discuss Michael's clothing, which also included a sports shirt. He merely said that all examinations were in progress, that definite results could not be expected until Tuesday. Other tests are being made on Patricia's clothing; the presumed murder weapon a heavy, sawed-off section of fence post; and red stains found on a patio at 4 Illona Dr. During the afternoon he sprayed the section of grass where Patricia Ann's body was found with a clear plastic, then poured dental plaster into the indentations and covered the whole thing over to make a mold.

The grass is a deep browning black, apparently from blood. The indentations in the ground apparently were made by the killer's blows. Dr. Cleveland said the girl probably was alive at the time the blows were inflicted. But he believed she was unconscious at the time because of heavy bruises on her throat.

The throat injuries undoubtedly kept the girl from crying out and alerting nearby neighbors while the attack was in progress, he said. There were no Injuries anywhere else on her body, the pathologist said. There was blood under her fingernails, but that probably was her own, he added. EARLY in the day Greenhills Service Department checked storm and sanitary sewers at Illona Dr. and Jennings Rd.

But they apparently found nothing to arouse their curiosity. Patricia, 15, was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Melvln Rebholz, 10010 Daly Rd. Mr.

View Of Car-Borne Trouble Shooters City To Check On Its Services From now on, the city will have roving ambassadors of good will. This Is assured under an order Issued Monday by city Manager William C. Wichman, who Instructed automobile-borne city employees to report Immediately by telephone any breakdown in city services they observe. THE PURPOSE of the order, Issued at the weekly city manager's staff information meeting, is twofold: It will serve to facilitate prompt correction of bad situations, and it will cut down on city paperwork, as part of Mr. Wichman's announced economy-in-opera-tlon drive.

City employees who travel by car will carry with them a form sheet on which they can note any Irregularity or violation they observe by check-mark and a simple notation. Conditions to be reported Include: Unsanitary conditions, street or traffic lights out, parking meter out or damaged, bad, slippery, blocked or littered streets, bad sewer conditions, damaged street or traffic signs, dead animals in need of removal, a 1 pollution conditions, water line leaks, police and fire emergency calls. Mr. Wichman noted that vigilance on the part of roving city employees could effect correction of bad conditions before citizens are forced to call the city for corrective action, and would eliminate the need for day-end written reports on the conditions observed.

The new proposal calls for across-the-board reductions averaging 20 in the tax rates levied on Individuals. President Kennedy's original plan sought individual rate cuts averaging 23. The "alternate" plan was presented at a closed session of the House Ways Means Committee by Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon. He said the proposed rate cuts were moderated to reflect the fact that the has turned down most of the new revenue that the original Kennedy plan would have captured through revisions In the tax structure. Under the new plan, the tax relief would take effect in two steps next January 1, and Jan.

1, 1965. Some $6 2 billion of the tax savings about two-thirds of the total would come In 1964. The original plan would have cut taxes in three steps. With the first relief made retroactive to July 1, 1963, and the final savings effective on Jan. 1, 1965.

The revised plan would: Provide a new schedule of Individual rates ranging from Wo In lower brackets to 70 in high. That compares with the present range of 20 to 91 and with the administration's original plan to cut rates to a l4-to-65 range. Reduce to 48 the 52 tax on corporation income in excess of S25.000. That compares with the 47 rate initially proposed by the administration. The tax rate on the first $25,000 of corporate earnings would be lowered to 23 from the present 30, Instead of 22 as originally proposed.
