Constitutional right of newspa pers to print information made public by congress was emphasized by the Kansas City Journal Post and the Baltimore Post as the real question at issue before the supreme court in the income tax publicity cases.
 The government contended that congress provided that the cOmmis- sioner of internal revenue should make available ito public inspection in such manner as he may deter mine, in the office of the collector in each internal revenue district and in such other places as he may deter mine lists containing the name and the post office address of each per- son making an income tax return ln such district, together with the amount of income tax pnid by such person."

DEFENSE MUSTER
 CALLED JULY 4TH Date Selected When Coolidge DiSapproYes Of ArmiStice Day TEST OF U. s. NARROWER
Any Action of States Must Be Vol untary-yarious Units Of Army and Navy Must Move at Double Speed From Now On.

Washington, May 25.-tAP)-A nationwide defense muster of American man power will be held under direction of the war depart ment next July 1.
 The date was selected definitely today after President Coolidge had disapproved the departments selec- ton Of Armistice Day and had sug- gested that Independence Day be substituted.
 Conference at Once.
 A conference Of general staff or- flcers to begin work on plans for the muster was called at once. Acting Secretary Davis communications on the subject 10 the governors of the states will be framed in accordance with an expressed desire of the pres- ident that they should emphasize that any action taken by the states will be Of purely voluntary char aCter.
 Must Show Speed.
 The National Guard and the or- gGnizcd reserves, as well as the civil- ian military training camps and oth- CT auxiliary units Of the new army system, will be compelled 10 move at double speed in preparing for the muster owing 10 the brief time re- maining.
 War department officials therefore do not expect as complete a test of the muster system as would have been possible at a later date in the year but they will employ every resource to make 1t the best dem- onstration possible under the cir cumstances.
 Will Make Study
 MT. Davis will instruct the depart ment to make 8 comparative study of the results obtained this year and on the Sept. 12 defense test of last year. in order that the president can have fgll understanding of the importance of the date to be select cd for musters in future years. This information will be available to con- gress should the question of estab- fishing the annual muster project by law be taken up at the coming ses- sion.
 The following letter was sent bs the president to Mr. Davis:
 "On the eleventh instant you sub- mitted 10 me proposed plan of the war department to hold on next Armistice Day.. Nov. II, 1925, a second defense test of the same gen. eral character as the ane which was held last September. You state that
