which the count identified as hav- mother.
 Love Letters Read
 They were undated. The witness said that he got them from his mother after the countess had left him and refused to return. The letters were read to the court. They contained repeated assertions of the writer's love for her hus- band, referring to him as "Ludi." Count Salm's mother, to whom the letters were addressed. was greet ed as Dear Mama Fini."
 The letters, all written before the birth of Peter on September 27, 1924, referred to the plans of the countess to bring about a recon ciliation between her husband and her father and other members Of her family. The first letter, written from a Paris hotel, told Count Salm's mother that the writer had come 10 Paris at her fathers re- quest and that she wished to re- turn 10 America first to get bet ter medical attention to prepare for the coming of her child. and second, 10 clear up questions of the legality of their marriage which she understood to exist in Austria and the United States
 They are thrilled at my going to have a child" she wrote, refer ring to her parents attitude. The countess expressed her belief that the birth of the child would be a powerful factor in bringing her people to her point of view.
 The two subsequent letters were written in America. In the first, referring to her husband, she wrote: He never was made to work - he hates 1t - he's so ner- vous. The movies are so horrible and cheap in America and I hate the thought of his going into them
 and that's the only way to make money fast"
 This letter revealed that Miss Rogers father had offered the couple s12.0O0 a year under bad conditions" Goodstein explained that one Of them was that Count Salm would remain abroad perma- nently.
 Men Hated Each Other
 Referring to her fathers attitude toward the count, Miss Rogers wrote:
 "Ludi' and daddy don't love each other at all--if they met 1t would be fatal"
 The fatal" reference was to the danger that a meeting between the two men would frustrate all plans for reconciliation.
 "I love him too much" she wrote, and want not to be miserable. No one is urging me to leave him-that I promise you-and 1t would not do any good if they did"
 The third letter contained refer ences to Count Salm's ability as q tennis player. The count testified that he is now the first ranking ten his player in Austria.

revenue law be given full test be- fore it was revised
 "Business can easily adjust itself to less expenses brought about by less taxes he cautionel but it is much more difficult 10 make an ad- necessary by more taxes. This is particularly true with reSpet to Federal taxes, since the necessity of imposing additional taxes would arise from decline in prosperity which would decrease Governmental revenue below Governmental expen- ditures, a decline which must also affect all taxpayers. Increased taxes to meet Government requirements would come at a time not Of pros pcrity but of depression and would aggravate the depression. For these reasons I do not advise the present session of Congress to reduce per manently our tax rates or abolish any particular tax, Each of the three reductions in taxes which have been enacted by the Congress since the fiscal year of 1921 have been predicated on an assurance that our financial condition warranted it. No such assurance can be given today as warrant for future permanent tax reduction.
 With the experience of another CT years test of the revenue act of 1926, and with a more accurate knowledge which the year will give of what the future has in store for a continuance of our prosperity, we can determine what our permanent policy of taxation shall be. In times of peace we must meet Govern mental expenditures out of Govern mental revenues We should not take by taxation more than our re- quirements. But also we should not take less than our requirements"
