bers of the American Federation of

economics of the Catholic University
of America and director of the So
cial action department Of the National

In. answer to a question from a men,
Der. Of the committee DR.. Ryan said
he saw no reason to think that the
bill, would mean the extending Of the
teachings of birth control, as contend
ed by opponents of the measure.
Edward McGrady, legislative repre-
sentative of the American Federation
of Labor. presented resolution in
favor Of the. Sheppard-Towner bill,
which was passed unanimously at their
convention in June.
Mr.. McGrady described the need for
this kind of education in maternal and
infant care, particularly in isolated
districts and in the mining districts
of such states as Pennsylvania and
Tennessee. Often. he said, the great
est ignorance and the highest death
rate are not among foreigners. but
among people of old American stock.

eases Of children at Georgetown Uni-
versity Medical School, spoke from

FAvORS ONE HEAD .
FOR AIR SERVICES
President Reported as Urg.
ing Consolidation Of the
Several Branches,

Amalgamation Of the aircraft serv-
ices OF the government into one de-
partment and with one directing head
can be looked for probably in the
near future. 4,
1t was learned at the White House
that President Harding is heartily In
favor Of such a consolidation, and 1t
IS understood that he has made this
known to the joint congressional
committee engaged in preparing plans
for the reorganization of the govern
nent departments. Therefore, It is
believed more than probable that this
committee. in drawing UP its tentative
reorganization plan. will include a
recommendation to this effect.
President's Views Stated.
The President is firmly Of the opin-
ion that such a unification Of aircraft
activities could not help being bene-
ficial-that greater eficieney and
economy would be obtained. It was
made known also that the President
believes such a combination would al
leviate. II not entirely remove; the
present difficulties regarding the
awarding Of contracts for aircraft. 1t
was pointed out that one great diff
Guilty pertaining to the present air
craft services that has impressed the
President Is that there Is no system
attic method Of awarding contracts for
the construction OF craft. One branch
awards contracts without regard to
any other government aircraft organ
ization, and the President believes
this method is detrimental to the up
building Of private aircraft manu-.
facturers, as well as being poor way
of doing business.
= This is the first hint made. public oi
Mr.. Harding's views regarding the
greatly discussed amalgamation Of the
that the positive nature Of his ideas
along this line have started considerable
speculation among officers and officials
Of the fighting branches of the. govern
ment. Although the President never
before had publicly made known his po-
sition it was believed by many persons
that he was opposed to the plan.
War and Navy Merger Favored.
It Is believed now that the President
is in favor also of the amalgamation Of
the War AMI Navy departments, which
is being seriously considered for recon-
mendation by the reorganization COM
mittee. The President. however, has not
ence could be drawn from his answers
to direct questions that he would ap-
prove, IL not an entire consolidation, at
least the placing Of the hshting agencies
Of the government under one cabinet
head.
There are many who. from long ex-
perience in government. are Of the
opinion that the possibilities Of ar
amalgamation Of the War and Navy de:
partments are very remote. 1t will
never come to, pass, at least not dur.
ing this generation, whether the. Presi-
dent favors it or not, IL their way OF
expressing 1t. Still. the placing Of these
departments under one head Is thought
to be extremely likely, but that . COM
plete amalgamation is out Of the ques-
ton.

Of cuirassiers. On his arrival he was

surrounded by number of officials.
Mr.. Herrick told the French presi-
dent of the emotion he felt in deliv-
ering his credentials as ambassador
to France for the second time. He
recalled that President Harding. when
appointing him. had said:
II believe that the people of the
United States expect me. to ask you
to return to France. 1t is also my
desire that you return"
Desire for GO-OperntiOn.
The reception given him on his arr

peoples, NJ. Millerand said:
Such program agrees with the
aspirations of the American people. of
which President Harding is the inter

$2Q,0DQ,0D0.T TAXES
FOUND IN FRAUDS
U. S. Collects. Vast Amount
Held Out by False Returns.
Many Arrested.

Discovery of false and fraudulent
income tax returns by the corps of
experts of the bureau of Internal
proximately $4,000, 900 additional to
its revenue for the year which ended
June 30 last. Recovery of this
amount also has been accompanied
by many Jail sentences and heavy
fines, and many cases now are await
ing trial as a result of efforts to de-
fraud the government of taxes dur
ing the fiscal year just closed, ac-
cording to statement of the revenue
bureau.
Prosecutions are obtained by the
government on three different Of
fenses-filing Of a false and fraudu-
lent income tax return. perjury and
conspiracy: Two forms Of punishment
are provided, as follows: Addition
prosecution in the federal courts
which may result in a fine up to
$4,000 or one years Imprisonment,
or both.
Crude Methods Prnctfced.
Officials of the bureau assert that
many people, not a few of them business
men, practice crude methods in at
tempting to defraud the government.
Some just omit large items Of income.
Thus. in one instance. prominent mer-
chant in one of the larger cities owned
and operated two stores. For three years
straight he omitted entirely from his re-
turns the income of one Of the two
stores.
In another instance a prominent man
received approximately one-half of his
income as salary from a corporation of
which he was president, and Of which
corporation he owned practically all of
the stock. The corporation took this
salary as 4 deduction and a necessary
expense, the man himself entirely omit
ted to report this salary. never thinking
that the corporations return would be
checked against his individual return.
Inventories Often Manipulated.
Manipulations of inventory are not in
frequently found, and these can always
be checked accurately by the field ex-
aminers Of the bureau. as no business of
any size can keep accurate books and
at the same time manipulate !nvento-
ries. Some taxpayers evidently are OF
the belief that they can hire unscrupu-
books. and then If the fraud is discov-
cred blame it all on the accountants, to
whom they usually pay large fees. In
many instances field examiners have
discovered that taxpayers keep two sets
of books, One set accurately setting forth
the status of the business. and the other
set fraudulently setting forth their in
come, and merely kept for the purpose
Of defrauding the government. In nine
out of ten of these later cases the fraud
Is discovered within short time after 1t
is perpetrated, the bureau statement
said.
