Proposed Craft Of Six Million Cubic Feet Would Dwarf Both Los Angeles And New British Airships.
Could Make Weekly Trips Abroad for $3O,OOO and Show Neat Profit to Government.

Washington, Dec. 15.--Nayy air experts have disclosed to congress plans for a G000,0OO cubic feet ca- pacity airship which would dwarf the 2,600,00O capacity Los Angeles and be much larger than the two new 5,Oo0,0O0 capacity ships ordered by the British government for com- mercial use between England and Australia. q
 Such a ship could carry 22 tons of pay load" Rear Admiral Moffett, chief of the naval air service told q house committee, it was disclosed in reports of the hearings made public today. On schedule of so single crossings between New York and London, he added, the ship would show an estimated profit of S4,85G.- 900 a year.
 7S5 Feet Long.
 The proposed air liner, Admiral Moffett said, would be 785 feet in length compared with the 65S foot Los Angeles, have a largest diameter of 122 feet, compared with the 9o- foot girth of the German built craft, have $500 maximum horsepower, compared with 1850 for the Los Angeles, and have a gross lift of 154 tons compared to the e tons of the Los Angeles. The cruising radius of the big ship would be 7,15O nautical miles without refueling, at 8 stand ard speed of 50 knots, compared with the 4,525 miles radius of the Los Angeles and the 2,300 miles Of the Shenandoah. At her baximum speed of 70 knots, the ship wouId have a radius of 4,590 miles.
 Estimates i'll Building.
 The highest estimates for buildirr such ship would be s6,000,o0O CT $1 per cubic foot. the naval air chin said. The British claimed that they would build their new 5,00O,00O foot ship at 25 cents 8 foot, the commit tee was told, but the admiral said he did not credit it. He said, however. that If four iX-million Hooters werc. built at one time, the cost per cubic foot probably would not exceed 50 cents.
 Admral Moffett estimated that the cost of running the big ship from New York to England on weekly voyages would be about S3o,O00 against a cost for the Los Angeles of s21,4o0. That shin would expend $14,30O in the shorter run to Pana- ma.
 Figuring on twenty passengers a trip for the Los Angeles at s1,0o0 each and On A tons of mail or freight in addition to be carried at a rate of S4,3Q0, Admiral Moffett placed possible receipts at $24,30O per trip of S2,900. The Panama run. he said, should permit the Los Angeles to make so trips a year.

 Mrs. Sweetin said she remembered little that happened at the time she made her confession to poisoning her husband, for whose murder she is on trial with Lawrence M. flight.
 Robert Smith, her attorney, op- posed introduction of the confession cn the ground that she was influenc- ed by flight when she was Ill to take a share of the blame to gave them both from Iynching.
 The purpose of this testimony, Mrs. sweetin's attorney said, was not to question the veracity of the re- porter but to show Mrs. Sweetin's COFQlLlOn OI Iillllu at thE Nlillo N"' such that she had forgotten the in- terview.
 Mrs. Sweetin, who had laid aside the hat she had been wearing throughout the trial, stepped briskly to the witness stand. She said she had been under the care of a physi- nIap haforo her arrest
 Dr. S. A. Thompson corroborated this statement and said Mrs. Sweetin was nervous, but aware of what she was doing and saying.
 The state sought to establish that Mrs. Sweetin admitted her guilt while talking to the reporter and pave the way for introduction Of a previous confession signed by Mrs, Sweet,n at the Mount Vernon court house after she had been questioned all night.

MILLIONS LOST TO GOVT. THROUGH
 LAXITY IN REVENUE DEPARTMENT
Couzens Charges Not Dishonesty But Laxity - Many
 Relieved of Taxes Who Should Pay

Washington, Dec. 15.-Chairman Couzens of the special senate com mittee Investigating the internal rev. enue bureau. declared in e state- ment today that the committee had found much looseness In the execu- ton of the work" of the bureau, re- sulting In the apparent loss of mil. Hons of dollars of revenue to the government"
 "In some of these cases" the chairman declared. "the department officials have admitted errors, and while the committee charges no dishonesty. 1t finds much looseness in the execution of the work"
 Noting that a review had been or- dered Of one case, invoicing an over allowance of s600,000 In taxes to one company. Senator Couzens said special Investigators were now work ing on other cases which will be taken Up this week by the commit tee. He invited the public to send In suggestions for simplifying the procedure of the bureau. as well as the statutes.
 This lack of uniformity" sena- tor Couzens declared. worked great injustice to some taxpayers and ex- cessible reductions in taxes to others. The injustice arose, not because the evidence showed that many taSpay- CTS paid taxes they should not pay, but rather that taxpayers were re- lieved who should not have been re lieved.
 Govt. Loses $500 ,000 Here
 "For example, a large concern on the Pacific coast was allowed a claim by the United States shipping board involving sso0,00O and the same claim was allowed by the in- ternal revenue bureau, thus losing to the government some s600,0oo in taxes. It developed Q clear case of
New Britain herald., 1924-12-15

lack of proper working arrange ments between the two departments, the responsibility for which was upon the internal revenue bureau.
 "The committee has been as- sured that an effort will be made to collect this $500. 900 and it 1t is col lected, as the committee believes 1t should. fully ten times the cost Of the committees work will have been collected in one case.
 "The committee found other cases where claims were allowed for amortization on plants and equip- ment purchased before our country entered the world war and yet it was clearly provided by statute that only amortization was to be allowed on war plants and war equipment which were purchased after we en- tered the war.
 Bookkeeping Methods
 'The committee also found that taxpayers received advantages over other taxpayers because of tho methods used in keeping their books, the cases that the committee have examined in this connection repre- sents loss to the government, If the committees interpretation is correct, of many millions of dollars of rev. enue to the government.
 "The committee has come across cases of what looks like what is termed In Wall street as washed sales'-for the purposes of tax evas- ion, and 1t appears that the bureau has not given sufficient considera- ton to these attempts to evade taxes. Taxpayers have made excess sive claims for amortization alleg- ing that they purchased excess fa- cilities for war purposes. Laxity in fixing the extent of the use of these plants subsequent to the war has developed in our hearings"
