Head for u. S. Air Forces

WASHINGTON, March 10. - Serious

bining the air forces of the govern
ment under one head is to be given BY
Secretary of War Weeks and his views
on the question are soon to be placed
before President Harding, it was dis
closed to-day.
Mr.. Weeks is known to have pro
nounced views on the future of the air
force of the American military estab-
lishment, but does not desire 70 90 into
any discussion of this matter until he
has had an opportunity to confer with
the President. He indicated TODAY
that within short time he might issue
a statement of his opinions on the pro-
posal of a department of the air.
Secretary Weeks is devoting every
available minute to study Of the army
problem in all its phases.
That he does not favor a standing

made known to-day when in answer to
direct question Secretary Weeks re-
piled in the negative He agrees with
Congress that an army of $4,000 men
is ample for peace time needs, but he
is seeking to ASCERTAIN just what ele-
ments should compose this standing

Rockefeller Files
Reply in S292,67$
Income Tax Action
Oil Man Contends Stock in
Two Pipe Line Companies
Paid to Him as Dividends
Was Not Subject to Levy

John D. Rockefeller, through his
counsel, Murray, Prentice e. Aldrich,
OF 81 Wall Street, yesterday filed in the
United States District Court an an
swer to the governments suit for
s292,678.7s alleged to be due on his IN
come tax return for the wear ended
December 81, 1915, and ba sed on his
alleged income tax from his stock hold
ings in the Prairie Pipe Line Company
and the Illinois Pipe Line Company.
The governments complaint, which
was filed by Assistant United States
Attorney Earl B. Barnes en- December
20 last, claims that Mr.. Rockefeller
failed TO include in the return of his
profits and income for 1915 any part
OF 50,l04 shares of the capital stock Of
the Illinois Pipe Line Company or g.
l76 shares of the capital stock of the
Prairie Pipe Line Company or the
value of those shares.
1t is alleged that both patches Of
stock we're delivered to him in 1915 as
dividends by the Ohio Oil Company
and the Prairie Oil and Gas Company
on his stock holdings in those two con-
Germs.
The suit is designed to make Mr.
Rockefeller pay tax on the difference
between the market value Of the stock
distributed as dividends and their par
value. The difference amounts to
S4,S77, 1886, and the governments
claim is 6 per cent of this amount
In his answer Mr.. Rockefeller claims
that the stockholders of the Prairie Oil
and Gas Company and the Ohio Oil
Company received nothing out Of the
assets of the two companies for their
separate use and benefit. but, on the
contrary, all the assets of their origi-
nal investment remained subject to
business risks, which might result in
vlplng out the entire investm ment
IN addition, he says the segregation
Of the two pipe line companies reduced
the book value Of each share of stock
of the Prairie Oil and Gas Company
and the Ohio Oil Company, and proper
tionately reduced the market value of
each share of their capital stock.
1t is claimed that under no law or
statute of the United States did the
apportionment of the shares of stock
of the Prairie Pipe Line and the Mi
nois Pipe Line companies to the de-
fendant constitute the receipt of divi-
dend or taxable income in any form.
and no tax was due or has become due
on the shares. in question.

meeting of the League of Nations ~
Geneva during the coming summer. and
later to make canvas of sentiment
in all the European capitals. If that
is done it is expected that at the sam
time the embassies and legations mere
will be asked to lay on the table what
ever information they have as to the
attitude of their governments, and that
out of the whole inquiry a series
Of formal negotiations eventually may
be evolved.
Some of the highest officials Of the
Administration believe it still is too
early to forecast toward what objec-
tive these negotiations might point
whether they would contemplate mod
ifcation of the present league to make
it acceptable or the establishment of
an entirely new international structure
for peace. 1t is understood that they
would be taken with a confidence that
the interchange of opinion would solve
that question satisfactorily.
Mr. Harding's consideration of men
available for important diplomatic Eu-
ropean posts is said naturally to be
League of Nations and other momen-
tous questions pending between the
United States and the Allied govern
ments. For this Eeason he is expect
ed to use the greatest care in select
ing representatives to such capitals as
London, Paris and Rome.
Rhine Situation Studied
The situation of the American
troops on the Rhine is one which has
been brought forcibly to the attention
of the new President by the recent
advance of the Allied forces into Ger
many to enforce provisions of the
Versailles treaty. The only announce
ment made here has been that the
State and War departments were in
accord with the policy Of the previous
Administration in so far as it provided
for participation in the Allied ad-
vance, and that, on the other hand,
withdrawal of the American army was
not Immediately under consideration.
Officials are in close touch with de-
velopments, however, and a more def
mite policy probably will be predicated

Attacks on Jews Said To
Be Based on Fabrication

In The History of a Lie, by Her
man Bernstein, just off the press. an
effort is made through documentary
evidence to show that the notorious
Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion are
a fabrication. The Protocols. which
were first published in Russia by Ser
gius Nilus in 1905, have been made the
basis of the charge that the Jews con-
spired with the Free Masons tc over
throw Christian civilization and secure
world domination.
The attacks against Jews which have
appeared weekly since May %, 1920, in
The Dearborn Independent, Henry
Ford's organ, are partly based on these
Protocols.
THE documents produced in The
History Of Lie" says Mr.. Bernstein,
go to show that the essence of the
Protocols is q German story. The
Jewish Cemetery in Prague and the
Council of Representatives of the
Twelve Tribes of Israel is the title Of
the German story, and it was published d
by Hermann Goedsche, a German pos
tai official. who was expelled from the
service for forgery, writing under the
pseudonym of Sir John RetcIiffe This
story, which is a chapter from a novel
called Biarritz, was published in Rus
sian in 1872.
"A number of years later the same
author consolidated into a continuous
speech the dialogue contained in the
story and published it as an authentic
address of an imaginary rabbi to a Sc
cret convocation of Jews. 1t is this
speech which is the skeleton of the
Protocols, which were fabricated by
celebrating the various topics, and this
speech at the same time is quoted in
most editions of the Protocols as evi
dence of the authenticity Of the latter"

TEN, Dr. Harriss tod HIS hearers that
he had planned number of other in
novations to relieve traffic in the con-
gested parts Of the city. After the
luncheon he told newspaper men that
among these plans was one for a via
duet alongside the elevated railroad
tracks along Sixth Avenue, between
Bryant Park and Central Park.
The commits sioner pointed out that
a roadway forty feet wide could be
constructed or either side of the ~ .
for approximately $4,000, 900 dollars,
which would increase the property
values by 2O,000,000 and relieve much
of the congestion along Fifth Avenue.
Entrance to this roadway would be
made along ramps built IN Bryant and
Central parks He said that his en-
gineers had studied the problem care
fully and had given their approved.
He pointed out that the buildings
along the roadway could nave stores
built on the second floors, while the
stores on the ground floor would be
in the same position as though they
were in an arcade. He SAID that the
property owners Of Sixth Avenue who
were first against the plan are all now
solidly in favor OF 1t.
In expressing his appreciation of the
honor paid him. Dr. Harriss drew at
tention to the fact that the success
Of the tower system had been brought
about By the traffic officers in charge
He called upon Inspector John
O'Brien of the Traffic Division, who
sat at the head of the table with his
captains and leutenants, to stand up
so the guests could see the men who
aided him in making the system sue
cess AS the inspector and his staff
came up with military precision there
was another outburst of applause.
