WASHINGTON Nov Is Pj--The
view that under the constitution the
federal government is obliged to con-
troll Mississippi river floods was en-
phasized today before the house flood

Besides the chambers delegation
the committee also heard views of IL
residents from the Red river valley
in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and
Arkansas on methods of controlling
the high waters of that tributary OF
the Mississippi
The chambers recommendations
for flood control, Mr. Dickinson de-
clared, were that the federal gov
ernment should pay the entire cost
and assume responsibility for the
protection of the valley against
future lnundatlonS and that an ade-
quate appropriation to insure eff
cient and continuous work should be
made available as. needed. He also
urged that the flood legislation
should be kept separate from any
other undertaking.

assumes responsibility" he said, "the

MAKING OUT OF

WASHINGTON, Nov. Is, R)-The
house, ways and means committee
today approved six and rejected
one of the score or more of recon-
mendations submitted by the advis-
cry board of the JOINT congress
sional committee on internal reve-
nue. legislation, looking to simpli-
flying the administration of the tax
laws.
The suggestions approved were
those relating to installment sales,
consolidated returns, federal tax
liens, transfers of property, the
bar of the statute of limitations and
the period of limitations.
The committee reflected and the
advisory boards proposal for revl-
sion of section 22O of the revenue
law, which deals with so-called
holding corporations or corporations
which fail to declare dividends. Chair
man Green said that several sub
stitutes were offered, but none adop-
ted and there was a possibility that
this section might be left as it is.
The changes approved do not al

taxpayers in making out returns. The

ally the remainder of the week to

GEORGE REMUS
Wins SKIRMISH
| N LIFE FIGHT

CINCINNATI, Nov. Is N9-George
Remus won what he regarded as
one of his outstanding court battles
today, when he won the double right
to qualify the jurors who VIII sit
in judgment upon him and to refuse
to set up a claim as to his mental
status at this time.
The former Chicago lawyer had
waited until the jury box was half
filled with tentative jurors before he
raised his voice in the interrogation
of veniremen.
When the prosecution rendered
Joseph Trautman, farmer and store
keeper, to the defense, the crowded
courtroom was electrified when Re-
mus deep voice doomed OUT a Nov
Mr.. Trautman-"
Judge chester r. Shook glanced
quickly at Remus, and Carl E. Basler,
one of the two assistants aiding
Charles p. Taft, II, Hamilton county
prosecutor, leaped to his feet with
a determined objection.
The nalf dozen tentative jurors and
Trautman were sent out while the
fight was Waged over the first great
issue of the trial.
"We understand that the claim of
insanity is made by this defendant
and we do not think he should ex-
anime the jurors" asserted Basler
cit is ridiculous for the defense to
plead that the defendant was so in
sane on October as to commit
murder and then month later to
say that he is sane enough to qualify
a jury"
Charles Elston, associate counsel
with Remus, contended that there was
no plea other than that Remus was
temporarily deranged when he shot
and killed his estrangled second wife
Imogehe Holmes Remus, in Eden park
here.
Mr. Elston, does the defense say
that the defendant is insane now?'
asked Judge Shook.
"I don't think that the court has
right to ask me that or to answer
it," replied Elston, adding that the
jury was concerned with RemuS'
sanity at no time Sthei than COM
mission of the act.
Judge Shook directed a recess and
retired to his chambers, where he
conferred with two of the three
alienists he has appointed Return
ing to the bench, he ruled that
Remus might proceed with the inter
rcgation of Trautman
Apparently trying to make the most
of his opportunity to impress the six
prospective jurors seated before he
began questioning, Remus directed his
queries to 'Trautman in a highly
dramatic manner.
At no time was there reference to
"I'' or "me" 1t was always "the
defendant" or "Remus."
He finally accepted Trautman as a
prospective juror.
There were an even dozen tenn
porary jurors in the box when the
trial was adjourned. h
