PRIVACY FOR TAX
REPORTS IS URGED
U. S.. Solicitor Tells Supreme
Court Publication Was
Not Intended.

The right Of newspapers to publish
income tax lists under the law provid-
ing for their public inspection was up
for continued argument today in the
Supreme Court. Oral argument on
the question as presented in the Gov
ernment's appeal in the case brought
against the Kansas City Journal-Post
was interrupted by adjournment of
the court yesterday just five minutes
after it got under way.
The case against the Journal-Post,
in which Senator Reed of Missouri is
appearing as counsel, was up for ar
gument today separately from that
brought against the Baltimore Post on
similar grounds, owing to the refusal
OF counsel for the newspapers TO as
sent to the courts suggestion that the
two cases be argued together.
Baker Among Counsel.
Newton D. Baker, former Secretary
of War, is appearing as counsel for
the Baltimore Post, which case will
| not be reached for argument until
next week unless the court arbitrarily
advaces it for hearing at the conclu-
| sion of argument in the other case
today. Solicitor General Beck Is
representing the Government in both
cases.
Mr.. Beck, in resuming his argument
| today, insisted that Congress intended
that the commissioner of internal
revenue should have complete con-
troll over the lists which, under the
| law, were to be made available for
| public inspection"
If Congress had intended to open
! the doors to unlimited inspection and
~ l. IL ~
have been so careful TO make the
right of inspection subject to dis
cretionary powers of the commits
sioner."
Defends Policy of Secrecy.
The policy of secrecy, he said, had
long been a part Of the fiscal admin
istration and Congress had made the
lists available for inspection in the
| offices" of the different collectors of
internal revenue and not In the
newspapers. Any use made of the
lists without the approval of the com
missioner was unlawful, he asserted,
adding that the newspapers had not
obtained his consent before publish
ing the lists.
Senator Reed insisted that the broad
question of the freedom of the press
was at issue This was illustrated,
he said, by the Government argu-
ment that under a reasonable inter
probation of the law every one who
desired was at liberty to inspect the
lists in the Offices of the collectors,
could make copies of them and could
freely discuss them.
The radio could broadcast the lists,
he said, and the data contained could
be made public in every way except
that by which the people were accus-
toned to obtain information-throug
the newspapers. 1t was illogical, he
declared, that information which law
fully could be in the possession of
every one and which could be passed
around by word of mouth could not
| lawfully be printed in the newspapers.

Americanization and education will

Thirty fourth Continental Congress

to include also the education of the
immigrant and the native-b born whose
circumstances would otherwise de-
prive them of an opportunity to &C
quire higher knowledge.
AS result the influence of the
society is gratuitously felt in many
institutions of learning. and particu-
larly in the mountain districts of the
Southern States, where, before the

movement to have all fraternities

the fraternity controversy before TAX

operate with Lambda Sigma in its
compromise move, but that the entire
matter had now been placed in the
hands of Mr.. Laskey, and the ques-
ton of effecting a settlement of the
fraternity dispute out of court is left
to him. cas- Mr.. Laskey has been
given authority to map out his own
course of action, it is believed he will
confer with Lambda Sigma repre-
sentatives before instituting a suit
against the board.
Although the board has reaffirmed
it's stand in opposition to the secret
organizations, it has indicated that
overtures for a modification of the
fraternity ban might be considered
seriously If the threatened court &C.
ton is abandoned.

Arrangement of Mrs. Cum

on Condition.

on a murder charge in connection
with the confessed killing by poison
of three of five members of her fam

in her cell after her confession. She
revived last night, and after eating,

She was too weak today however,
to answer the charge.
While Prosecutor August Bremen,
assisted by Chicago prosecutors, had
not determined definitely whether to
test her sanity, attorneys hired by

May Endow Ohio School.

This year one of the most interest
ing phases of educational work to be
brought before the congress will be
embodied in a report of a committee
appointed to consider the establish
ment of an endowment at the oxford
College for Women. in Ohio. which
was the first woman's college estab.
lishment of such an endowment would
serve a threefold purpose.
First, ii would provide material help
for an institution of historical as we'll
as educational value to the country;
second, it would further the society's
work in the field of education, and,
third, it would provide a suitable me-
mortal for the society's first president
general, Mrs. Benjamin Harrison, wife
of the then President of the United
States.
New Dormitory Needed.
The proposition before the society is
to construct a dormitory at the Ok.
ford College for Women, as a me-
mortal to Mrs. Harrison. whose father,
DIR. John Witherspoon Scott, was one
of the incorporators and later presi-
dent of the institution. Lack of room
makes it necessary for the college to
refuse admittance to a lrage number
of girls each year, and the additional
dormitory is said to be an actual need
at this time.

tinental congress are beginning to ar
