SNAGS RISE TO

IN OIL HEARING
New Intimidation Charges
to Bring Further Inquiry
of Case.
BY HERBERT LITTLE
United Press STAFF Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.--Com-
plications in the Sinclair Burns
contempt trial today threatened to
cause postponement of the next
now set for Jan. 16.
New charges that Government az.
torneys inundated Witnesses
Burns detective jury-trailers in this
instance occupied lawyers today as
testimony concerning a previous
charge of Government intimidation
of Juror Edward Kidwell con-
tinued.
Kidwell, a juror in the first Fall
Sinclair trial, yesterday reversed
himself and admitted his statements
to the United States attorney were
true, to the best. of my belief"
He persisted in his statement,
however, that Assistant United
States Attorney James OLeary put
many Of the words into his mouth
one the basis of which George P.
Hoover, Harry Sinclair's lawyer,
charged OTleary with intimidation.
Justice F. L. Siddons said the
intimidation charges must be sifted
before the contempt trial continues.
The court will adjourn tomorrow
until Tuesday, Jan. 8. A hearing on
the contempt citation against
Harry M. Blackmer, missing witness
in the Sinclair trial, from
whom the Government seeks
100000 forfeit as the result Of his
failure to testify, is scheduled for
Jan. 6. It will be postponed or
transferred to another court.
It is believed unlikely that pres
entation of evidence will be- con-
cluded in the contempt proceedings
by Jan. 16.

CONGRESS SEES
REAL BUGABOO
ON TAX SLASH
Income Impact Reduction Is
Likely to Be SheIved
by President.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-PoSsi-
bility of no income tax reduction
after ballyhoo of more than a
year today is giving members Of
Congress serious concern.
Democrats and Republicans alike
unofficially are counting noses 70
determine If tax bill can be passed
over the Presidents veto.
Threats from the White House
that the President will veto the bill
if Secretary Melons recommends
tons are disregarded vitality are not
taken as a mere political threat.
Congressman recall that the
President vetoed the McNary-Hau-
gen farm relief bill in the face of
strong opposition and that Congress
failed to pass the bill over his veto.
The President, if he vetoes the
measure, is expected to write a
strong message asserting that reduc-
tons beyond the 1925 ,000,0 900 recon-
mended by Secretary Mellon are
dangerous and contrary to sound
Federal financing.
Such a message, congressional
leaders assert, would be difficult to
override.
Income tax reductions authorized
by the House totalled $3.50, 000, 900.
Senator Simmons of North Carolina,
Democratic taxation leader, expects
the Senate not only to retain the
$500 100000 of the house, but go even
further.
Senate Republican leaders have
little hope of reducing the House
estimates. They will endeavor to
prevent a Democratic-Pr Progressive
Republican coalition to boost it
higher.
Such increase, Speaker Longworth
and Representative Garner, Demo-
cratic taxation leader, are agreed,
will bring a presidential veto.

Tail Light
BY swEDE SWANSON

When a man stops suddenly, to
the danger and evaporation OF
those behind, his action is the re-
suit of one of two causes:
/. Recklessness and utter disre-
gard for others.
2. Inattention to the business on
Handwriting
Both are dangerous states Of mind,
even more dangerous as more and
more automobiles clutter the streets.
We may be sure of our own
brakes. We may be confident Of our
own driving ability and Judgment.
We may be alert and considerate.
But as long as we're not the only
drivers on any highway, we always
should be mindful Of the possibility
that the fellow behind may not be
as well prepared for an emergency
as we are.
The fact that we have four-wheel
brakes, that they are adjusted
properly and equalized and that we
feel safe in speeding up to within
a few feet OF stop should be no
incentive for us to try them out at
the probable cost Of others. We
never can tell how the other fell
lows brakes are, and even If we do,
we can't tell how. fast he reacts to
an emergency.
1t might prove the wonderful per-
formance of our car to be able to
stop within few feet at twenty-five
miles an hour. But when we don't
have to stop short, there's no reason
why we should.
There are many reasons why we
shouldn't-the greatest being that OF
safety.
The New Marmon rs was formally
introduced to the automobile indus
try at meeting of automotive trade
Journal experts and newspaper men
at the Marmon factory, which in
cluded a complete demonstration of
the car on the indianapolis Motor
Speedway and on hills and high
ways.
The Speedway tests were in charge
OF Thomas J. Little, Jr., chief en-
gineer of the Marmon Motor Car
Company, and each phase Of the
remarkable performance of the car
was actually demonstrated and
timed on the famous two and one
half-mile brick oval. Each of the
visiting men was given an oppor-
tunity to drive the car himself and
compare its acceleration, Tc, .lera-
ton and speed by making an actual
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-12-07

record Of pickup, brake efficiency
and prolonged top speed.
Following the trials at the Speed
way the car was taken to a stretch
of rough road so that the action of
the springs set in rubber shock in
sulators and the hydraulic shock alb
Sorbers could be observed. The Car
was then taken to the hilly region of
southern Indiana and numerous hill
climbing tests were made. The meet
ing was closed with an inspection
tour Of the Marmon plant unit
where the New Marmon 70 is being
manufactured.
Announcement is made by H. j.
Leonard, president of the F. B.
Stearns Company of Cleveland, Ohio,
Of the appointment Of o. T. Law
son as vice president and his cleo
ton to the board of directors.
Lawson, who is production man
ager for the F. B. Stearns Company,
makers of the Stearns- Knight motor
car, has been with the organization
for two years, and previous to his
connection with the F. B. Stearns
Company had been identified with
the automobile industry for thirteen
years, coming to Cleveland from the
Bendix Brake Company Of South
Bend, Ind.
Sometimes the old timer gets into
more trouble on the road than the
newcomer who doesn't know enough
about automobiles to apply a lot of
Anticipated rules. Here's an instance
that will go to prove it:
Observing that the engine was
skipping and being satisfied that the
trouble wasn't a matter of faulty
ignition an experienced driver de-
cided to remove the cover plates on
the side of the engine and have a
look at the valves. It was not diff
cult to see the valve that was stick
ing, for 1t failed to follow its tappet,
remaining up when it should have
been down.
He decided the best thing to do
would be to squirt kerosene over the
valve stem, but since he had none
he dropped the hood and hurried on
to the next garage.
When he raised the hood the en-
CINE was splattered with oil. He
had forgotten that in the pressure
fabrication systems of today the tap
pet compartment is fed a constant
supply of oil.

Strength in Motors
The engine closely follows the
Marmon principle Of overhead valve
design, although it embodies num-
Der Of new and advanced engineer
ing features that combine to give
a maximum brake horsepower of

The S. A. E. rating is 276 horse
